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…
A little over 52 years ago, a young, unknown magazine intern in New York sat down, drank himself into a “frenzy of drink” and wrote the greatest application letter in history. His name was Hunter S. Thompson.
Cell C’s highly publicised poor coverage can finally be explained. It appears that there is a toxic, root-and-branch misunderstanding of the fundamentals of cellular telephone technology within the company.
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].
Corporate deception, along with the recent catastrophic failure of the Kin, his massive bonus penalties for sizeable losses in the mobile market and in particular, this Youtube video, make watching Steve Ballmer fail in the web browser market, traditionally one of Microsoft’s strongest fronts, all the more delicious.
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.
Jerome Kerviel, the rogue French futures trader who almost single-handedly caused a stock market meltdown, has been found guilty of breach of trust, forgery and entering false computer data. The sentence passed down by the judge is being described by commentators as “pant-wetting”.
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.
Marmite, Mrs Balls Chutney, Iron Brew, and Tropica. These are the flavours of my childhood, and every now and then, a craving hits, and the inevitable binge ensues. I know, I disgust myself. Happily, I’ve been vindicated by science. Get a child hooked on your product in their formative years, and you’ve got them for life.
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 film rights to Nelson Mandela’s bestselling biography, Long Walk to Freedom, have been sold to South African film producer, Anant Singh.

Mustache = Totally legit The publisher of the New Age newspaper, which launches next month and has been billed as a staunch pro-ANC mouthpiece, was arrested this weekend.
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 […]
A national hero For breakfast, it’s steak porridge. For lunch, it’s steak. Around 3pm it’s a blended steak meal replacement. For dinner, it’s steak, with a side of biltong. We could be talking of no other than South Africa’s freshest Guinness World Record holder, Jan Braai.
It’s not just fast cars, luxury villas, beautiful models, fine clothes, good service and champagne that we care about here at 2oceansvibe. Oh no – science and technology are right up there as well. How else could we have created SilverStreak, using merely my thoughts and a strand of hair from the TBG? Correct – […]
Television personality and social media philanthropist, Alyssa Milano, is breaking new ground with social media and money. Stay with me now. She’s auctioning a follow from her on Twitter. That’s right. The highest bidder on her Twitchange Ebay page will win a following from Milano’s twitter handle, @Alyssa_Milano.
When it broke onto news agents’ racks in the 1970s, everyone knew that “Easyriders” was reading material for tough guys. Furthermore, you knew that those guys probably had beards, leather jackets, and a primal love for their mothers. But the headlines on the covers themselves left absolutely no doubt. These are some of my favourites […]

Hey gang, sorry to do this to you! We have just heard some very hectique news. Apparently the blog awards this year allows the voters (YOU) to vote once every 24 hours. As you can imagine, this puts further pressure on us (2oceansvibe & YOU!), as it effects how well 2oceansvibe does in the awards. […]
Popular South African band, Freshly Ground, have suffered a potentially massive blow to their revenue stream after the Zimbabwean authorities banned the group from traveling or performing in Zimbabwe.
The recent four week-long public servant strike taught us two things. Firstly, government is tight with its money, and not in the “tight-thrifty” way. Secondly, and more importantly, we’re a nation of dancers. Truly, you can say what you like about who has the moral high ground in this dog show, but you absolutely cannot […]
I dunno. Has he? This stunning vintage ad would have you believe that this boys father beats him because he’s a hard working man all hopped up on the black gold. They did NOT hold back in those days, Can you imagine the marketing brainstorming session? “So what angle are we going with.” “Abuse is […]
“Daniel Radcliffe needs a date.” He looks ab-fab, hey? In case we had any doubts, Daniel Radcliffe (best known for his role as Harry Potter) is very comfortable with his sexuality. And everyone else’s, apparently. He’s rocking the pale skin, bright red lips and chest hair triad of erotic signifiers pretty hard here. And how […]

The legendary fail-whale When you happen to be an Australian Olympic gold medalist swimmer sponsored by an elite care brand, it’s probably not a good idea to talk trash on Twitter. If you’re a naturalised English sportsman that’s suffered a run of poor form in recent times and have since been cut from the national […]
RetailEstateWeb just released the results of its annual property value survey, with some fairly interesting results. For a start, it’s obvious that The Fairest Remains just that, with seven out of the nations ten most valuable suburbs. Not shabby, hey? Perhaps I’m new to the property game, but my question is: Is a pad in […]
