We cover quite a diverse range of issues, here at 2oceansvibe Media. Not least of which is the beaten-dog acceptance of our local traditional media. Traditional media run by imbeciles who can’t see the light for the piles of money they’re paying themselves, as they wade through the pools of blood, forming as a result of excessive back scratching.

Case in point would have to be the SABC, who are currently waiting for a government bailout, which will allow them to continue with the archaic process and production which the nation finds itself subjected to. (See article entitled “SABC on brink of collapse“). How wonderful it must be, to pay yourself a fortune, to deliver a revolting product, and then, when it’s about to collapse, get a cheque to clear the debt and start off fresh! What a wonderful concept!

Can someone remind me exactly why we have to pay our TV licenses? Why is it “the right thing to do,” when all they’re doing is the WRONG thing?

Nonetheless, their time will come. And so will mine. But, in the meantime, they (the real media types who are aware of what really is going on around them) are holding the Media Convergence Forum in New York next month, from 20-21 October. (I wonder how many representatives SABC sent over?).

Every year the organisers make a new promotional video with astounding facts and figures which shock and amaze, as we try to grasp the rate at which our world, digital media and technology is moving.

This year is no different, as I give you Did You Know 4:

That, my friends, is where we are.

Have fun with that roll of red tape, SABC.
