Adriaan Willem Bergh has hit us with yet another video. It’s more of an explanation of his previous masterpiece, in which the auteur explains that there’s no such thing as bad publicity. Right you are, AWB. Adriaan Bergh is the gift that keeps on giving. Let’s get this man on national television, people.

Inventor Haidar Taleb is hitting two birds with one stone, sort of, by crossing all seven United Arab Emirates in a solar powered wheelchair to promote the use of renewable energy and raise awareness about causes for disabilities. Also, he’s going alone. And you can’t drink in most of the Emirates. And it’ll take 11 days. Road trip!

The Asian rumour mill has been grinding away on the same grist for some time now – Our Dear Leader is on his way out, health-wise. Reports have surfaced in recent months of Kim Jong Il’s chronic kidney failure, and general lapse into a malaise of poor health. In short, he’ll soon be re-joining the rainbow from which he was born. And he’s going out with a bang, ask South Korea.

Instead, it’s a video of some dude using a woman and a small child as a seatbelt. Or it’s about hugs. Or maybe they’re saying a woman and child will hug you if you drive a car in Sussex? I’m not totally sure, because the important thing to note here is that somehow this lost […]

I’ll stand by my own admission that South Africans are critical of referees in sporting fixtures. Having said this I have never quite seen a story where referees have threatened to strike for fearing their safety. In Scotland the refs have suffered some serious abuse.

There’s a restaurant in Pringle Bay, just an hour from Cape Town, called Hook, Line, and Sinker. When you walk in to this effortlessly cool establishment you are guided to a table hewn from American Poplar that is scrubbed daily with Sunlight liquid and once a week rubbed lovingly with Cobra wax.

Fantastic. Self-described sex blogger, ‘Furrygirl,’ opted to go for a patdown instead of undergoing TSA scanning at a Seattle airport, citing health concerns about radiation; to protest the TSA’s super-invasive new  procedures, she stripped down to sexy underwear prior to her interview, and videoblogged the whole thing. Mildly NSFW, but hey, it’s okay if it’s political. […]

Some weeks ago, Finnish divers discovered several crates of two-centuries-old champagne and beer from a sunken ship in the Baltic Sea for nearly two centuries. They then drank some of it because, hey, why not. And, because sharing is nice, Finnish authorities sponsored a public opening and tasting of the champagne last Friday.

Springbok coach Peter de Villiers generously made special provision for an interview with 2oceansvibe Radio’s Seth Rotherham and Bruce Good ahead of the test between South Africa and Sotland at Murrayfield on November the 20th. You can listen to all of the high-pitched enthusiasm here, right now.

There’s literally no excuse for getting drunk and taking pictures of your team-mate’s Labrador performing a sex act on you, as Canberra Raiders winger, Joel Monaghan did. I’ve tried and I can’t think of a single scenario where that would be an appropriate course of action.

When French photographer Sacha Goldberger found out his 91-year-old grandmother was suffering from depression, he did the most rational thing French photographer Sacha Goldberger could think of: he dressed his grandmother up in superhero outfits around town and took photos of her until she stopped being depressed.

Here at 2oceansvibe, phone etiquette is paramount; if I hear a phone ringing and I think it might be mine, I reserve the right to lose my shit. Another thing we care about is being well-dressed, or at least pretending like we do; and now those two pleasures are combined in a single fancy product.

Oh yes people, the McLaren MP4-12C is here. This supercar is what dreams are made of and it is definitely set to cause a stir in the performance stakes. It’s light, very light with even the engraved rather than raised lettering McLaren detail saving 2 g of weight!

Kevin Mealamu is a talented individual. Not only is the master of getting away with blatant head butts (yawn), but also he is pretty masterful at driving a tank. Competing with fellow ABs Conrad Smith and Piri Weepu, Mealamu shows that even if he was out of rugby for months, he could combine his head butting and tank-driving skills to become quite the serviceman. [VIDEO]

We’re certainly no stranger to the clustercuss that is Kanye West. We’ve recently discussed the banning of his questionable album cover and now we bring you the interview that caused his media trainer to quit after just three days on the job.

That’s right ladies and gentlemen. Due to unprecedented demand, Mr Adriaan Willem Bergh has re-posted his Mr South Africa 2011 promotional video to YouTube (you saw it here first), and he’s directed us to it. If this is the kind of treatment we’re getting before he wins, just imagine the true pleasure we’re in for following his victory.

The teaser trailer for Cowboys & Aliens is out. The title may be a little worrisome for you, and maybe you’re afraid that, with Harrison Ford being there, this is going to be some sort of Morning-Glory-esque weep-fest starring Rachel McAdams. I put it to you that this movie is going to be the best thing in your life when it gets released.

Movember is a time when men support other men with prostate cancer by growing moustaches. It’s a beautiful thing. But many women, understandably, feel a little left out – how can they offer support? Ideally, they can’t grow moustaches of their own, and fake moustaches are uncomfortable, if not downright insulting. Asylum has the answer: on November 18, ‘women can support the cause by making love to a man with a glorious, wooly mustache.’

It seems that social media impersonators are creating a bit of discomfort within the Springbok camp. While I’m not sure I have found any that are intended to deceive the public (and media), I did find a rather comical example dedicated to one Bakkies Botha. More after the jump.

It didn’t take long for the inevitable parodies of our Mr South Africa hero, Adriaan Bergh, to start travelling the interwebs. While this latest Mr South Africa wannabe certainly has potential, he unfortunately lacks the fifth and most important characteristic that we look for in a Mr South Africa which is, of course, access to a golf cart.

Hatsune Mikue is an apparently ‘realistic’ holographic singing idol, massively popular in Japan. ‘Sure,’ you might say to yourself, ‘I’m big in Japan too,’ to which I say shut up, that wasn’t funny when your dad said it thirty years ago either. A thing that isn’t real sold out a 25,000-person stadium. This is how the world ends – with hologram designed by a company called ‘Crypton Future Media.’

If you’re wondering just exactly what the diamond that we discussed earlier looks like, take a gander at that.

I think you’ll agree that it’s quite modest. Although it dwarfs the ring Prince William gave to his fiancé.

NASA recently released a couple of photos taken from inside the International Space Station with the newly-fitted Cuppola module, which is a big ol’ window looking down on earth. The ISS is essentially a fancy glass bottomed-boat. With attractive astronaut ladies in it. I’m not even kidding, look at the photo after the jump.

Fellow Capetonians! You may, or may not be aware that Bafana Bafana will be clashing with the United States of America on the hallowed field of Cape Town Stadium this very evening at 21h30. The game is sold out, so needless to say, a fair number of pedestrians and vehicles will be thronging the streets. Thus, for your benefit, a list of road closure times around the city today.

You notice how that guy in your block of flats who hits the reefer regularly always seem a little mentally slower off the mark? Shockingly, a new study has revealed that smoking weed regularly lowers cognitive function, especially if you started smoking before you were 16. I think (the irony) I speak for all of us when I say we were all younger than 16 when we started smoking weed
