Goodbye Forwardslash
[permalink]

We don't want to incriminate our two sources but we have been made aware of two major changes of two companies.

Some good news and some bad news.

Congratulations are in order!

But first, the GOOD NEWS! The corporate one-dimensional animal that is the Old Mutual seem to have liberated their staff and a possible glitch has allowed their staff access to 2oceansvibe. Once again, the caged staff of the great South African red-tape manufacturers are able to indulge in Cape Town's true heart beat, YOUR 2oceansvibe. Welcome back, Old Mutual! It seems Big Brother has decided that your existence will be furthered by this exposure. Could it be, perhaps, that they have realised that your blank expressions when asked for comment on all-important 2oceansvibe topical conversation is leaving you/them red-faced? Possibly. Either way, we are ecstatic at your return. Make yourselves at home. It always was your home, before you were kidnapped and placed under floorboards. (Granted, I do have several Cambodian 10-year-olds under my very own floorboards, but, let's face it, they ARE churning out very necessary flip-flops for the upcoming season in Cape Town).

And now, the BAD NEWS.

Sadly though, a more 'trendy', 'cool', 'ear-to-the-ground' company, Forwardslash , whose slogan happens to be "Reach out and explore" (puh!) has now BANNED their staff from access to the place everyone calls home, 2oceansvibe. What a sad state of affairs. Who would have thought that a modern-media company such as Forwardslash would join the ranks of the cubicle-corporate conglomerates and ban them from such necessity, whilst still allowing them access to the likes of IOL and NEWS24 where their minds are poisoned with murder, rape, theft, bribery, starvation and crime in general. Amazing that this kind of access is seen in a better light than the odd 'fuck' or 'shit' found on this family website.

Shame

Strange days indeed.
