The legendary Canadian actor, Gordon Pinsent, reads us his favorite parts from musical monolith Justin Bieber’s memoirs. Bieber has a tremendous amount to say about his 16 years of experience, and we are grateful for his sharing with us.
If you value your freedom of speech, you may want to get involved in voicing your disapproval against The Man’s attempts to throw a black curtain over every mote of data it feels tetchy about. If you couldn’t be bothered to pipe up, then I suppose you won’t be losing much in the transition to a police state, anyhow. That’s right kids, we’re talking about the Secrecy Bill.
Remember An Inconvenient Truth? You watched it, right? This may shock you, but the vast majority of the planet we live on is constituted of aquatic environments, and inhabited by aquatic species. A new film premiering in South Africa later this month, The End Of The Line, is An Inconvenient Truth for the ocean. [VIDEO]
The Simpsons have been hiding a religious agenda, apparently. Sunday’s edition of L’Osservatore Romano, the Vatican’s daily broadsheet, declared that ”Not many people know it, and he does everything he can to hide it. But it’s true, Homer J. Simpson is Catholic.” I guess drawing conclusions from nonexistent evidence isn’t entirely new to the region.
At a glittering function, coincidentally held at Seth’s Johannesburg residence, The Westcliff Hotel, GQ last night hosted the Best Dressed Men In SA Awards.

But that wasn’t the spiciest part of the evening..

Ed Chamberlin is Sky Sports’ elite football presenter. That’s right, he’s a pretty big name on British telly. Funnily enough, we can’t shake the memory of him as the beloved stooge of Founders House, Bishops, in 1994. We chat to him about the Currie Cup, the Liverpool shenanigans, and the state of English rugby, live on 2oceansvibe Radio.
In a story with the headline I’ve waited my whole life to write, the future Mr Katy Perry has been referred to as “pointless” by one of Britain’s most celebrated talk show hosts and, perhaps most crushingly, had his talents compared to those of an acting dog.
The Dutch are an interesting bunch and certainly do have a unique sense of humour. In this case it is hard to tell whether the guy needing the loo is a prankster or not. He’s either a legend or an idiot. Either way, it doesn’t matter – the result is hilarious. Check out the video after the jump.
Luckily this is a scenario that I’ve never had to deal with, as my mom refuses to go on Facebook. Unfortunately, for most of you, this is not the reality. It’s for those of you who have to deal with this problem on a daily basis that I give to you: The Damn It, My Mom’s On Facebook Filter.

If you ever saw the series Friday Night Lights, you should know about Minka Kelly. To recap, she was the one you were in love with. And not just talking to the guys – even the most jealous girl out there couldn’t hate Minka. She’s too cute. All the photos (and video!) after the jump.
Famed and cultishly-revered British street artist, Banksy, has struck gold. He story-boarded and animated the intro for this Simpsons episode, and it is appropriately entertaining. What a lot of people don’t know, though, is that he used the 2oceansvibe HQ as a real-world inspiration for some of the intro scenes. Guess which ones. [VIDEO]
A lot of parents are envious of the number of times Eminem manages to drop the name of his daughter, Hayley into his albums. In fact, it would be downright touching if her name wasn’t drowned in a malaise of expletives, narcotics, posturing and petty felonies. Well your kids can feel like Hayley as well, without the inconvenience of familial dysfunction.
Just look at it. Kids, music, drugs, concerned parents, American news networks, middle America – it’s all there. This report cries foul on i-dosing (not an Apple product), whereby ne’er-do-well teenagers whittle away their misspent youth getting high on binural frequencies. I’m calling BS on this one. [VIDEO]
We covered this story last week with the video of the New Zealand host loosing it as he says the Delhi Chief Minister’s name! Well he has resigned…

Die Antwoord have released their latest music vid on the interwebs, as they’re prone to. They’re pushing the usual Die Antwoord boundaries with copious bad haircuts, gold teeth, permanent markers, penises, tokoloshes, and handcuffs.
Oh yeah, probably NSFW, but in a comical, ridiculous, “is that a huge wooden knob?” kind of way [VIDEO].
Monday evening’s episode of Idols SA was the standard mix of tepid content, low production values, and a small group of talented vocalists vainly struggling against a tide of disinterested public, average backing tracks, and of course, inebriated judges.
South African media’s most ubiquitous judge and man-about-town, Randall Abrahams has been filmed with what appears to be clear liquid seeping from his eye sockets during shooting for SA’s Got Talent.
I’ve been accused of choosing form over substance in my time. Vacillating between the timeless elegance of a 1960s Porsche Speedster over a 2009 Audi being the most recent example. While it didn’t, the timeless very nearly usurped the practical. (Implicit in this is that I couldn’t get both, which is a topic for another day.)
Tape: Doesn’t help Die Pompmasjien ry nog weer! Steve Hofmeyr, a South African “music artist” best known for extreme fertility singing Neil Diamond covers and accusing South Africans of lacking originality in the same breath, has proffered his cutting insight on yet another weighty topic.
Yes, it’s true… a tribe of underage North Korean programmers have been hard at work over the last couple of months, diligently developing the all-new 2oceansvibe website. As was mentioned by our glamorous representative at this year’s SA Blog Awards, 2oceansvibe will no longer be competing in this esteemed event. This is purely because the […]

The Pale Blue Dot Carl Sagan is a deceased astronaut astronomer. And that miniscule blue dot inside the blue circle is Earth. He is one of the few people to have ever existed who could claim to have pondered global events with a truly broad perspective. When you’ve considered the earth from 6,1 billion miles […]
Justin Bieber arrived in Johannesburg this morning. Heat magazine caught the horror unfolding on film. Mass hysteria has been reported in the greater Gauteng area, as the great walking insect zapper carves a swathe of destruction along the Ben Schoeman highway. Droves of moth-like recently pubescent girls are reportedly flinging themselves at his moving vehicle. […]
Not the worst thing to be called – ‘Maverick,’ is it? I’m absolutely fine with it, truth be told. ‘Elegantly Wasted?’ – hey, I can work with that too. We’re big INXS fans here at 2oceansvibe anyway. What a dick (download 2-page PDF here) You know, it’s funny, that shoot took about 20 minutes. Reason […]
