Die Antwoord’s frontman, Ninja (or Waddy Jones, depending on how old you are), has posted a scathing attack on former band photographer and film maker Sean Metelerkamp and the company he works for, Harry & Co. I smell a publicity stunt.

In a shockingly innovative move, Dutch clothing company Suit Supply has released an ad campaign showing ruggedly handsome men wearing suits while in the company of half-naked women. Now everybody’s buzzing about how sexist the campaign is, which I’m sure has Suit Supply’s advertising department terribly upset. Maybe they’ll ask some half-naked women to calm them down. Careful, it gets quite steamy after the jump…

You might remember a post on The Oatmeal’s issues with phone calls? Well, following on from that, I give you their issues on emails. And I know that this is something that our 2oceansvibe readers will really appreciate.

A few days ago I saw a post on Gizmodo that asked readers to send in video clips of them saying “Katie, will you marry me?” The result was the single best use of crowdsourcing that we’ve seen to date.

What do you guys think of this? Jason Bateman and Will Arnett in brand-inspired skits. They do lack the laugh-out-loud moments I was expecting and it is rather random, but damn I love Jason Bateman!

Taylor Swift is a “country music sensation” who I have had the privilege of never having heard.
After initially achieving fame via Kanye West’s ego, she now also has the dubious honour of being the celebrity with the Madame Tussauds wax model that looks least like her.

Well, sort of. New Jersey has a pretty huge homeless population. I assume this is what that show, Jersey Shore, is about. And that noble institution, the New Jersey Homeless Management Information System, has introduced a finger-printing system so they can keep track of when homeless folk are using the government-funded soup-kitchens and spas. It’s weird.

Wow, people are still not happy about that chick's post on Marie Claire's website about fat people 'grossing her out'. So how do the public plan on displaying their distaste? Do the exact thing that grosses her out right outside her offices.

Parking is a well-known bugbear for the citizens of the greater Cape Town Metropole, some might even say the situation is reaching a critical mass. But the men and women of of the Northern Suburbs are putting on a masterclass of guile and smarts in the parking department. Thanks to Mike and Mike’s brother for sending in the evidence.

God, I love living in the future. Don’t you? Four driverless, electric vans arrived in Shanghai yesterday after a 13,000km ‘test drive’ from Italy. They had no maps, and they stopped to pick up a hitchhiker on the way.

Some might say he is a villain, to others he is a hero. Say what you want about Jordan Belfort – his story is phenomenal. Which is probably why ‘The Wolf Of Wall Street’ became a bestseller the moment it went to print. He was a multimillionaire at 26 and was in jail at 36. Fill in the gaps with yachts, jets, parties, drugs and high-class hookers. Catch him live on-air this morning! Follow link to tune in.

If, like me, you had a quick look at the local headlines online today and were inundated with the usual reports of systemic corruption, broken party politics and violent crime, enjoy this video of a baby monkey riding on the back of a micropig.

We promised we would get it to you first, and we weren’t lying! This video has taken things to the next level. I don’t know what the guy who made it was smoking, but it looks like it might be pretty expensive stuff! Ladies and gentlemen, I give you the new Goldfish music video – GET BUSY LIVING!

There are some products that offer depressing insight into the kind of marketplace we’re living in today. Sandwiches that use chicken for bread; drinks that give teenagers heart attacks; fixie bikes. But every now and then a product comes along that tells you it’s all going to be okay – and this, friends, is that product.

It’s one more sleep till the weekend and I know that if you are feeling anything like I am, it just cannot come fast enough. So I thought I would pick you up a bit and give you some awesome inspiration – either that or you are just going to feel even more like shit after this video, realising you will never be this awesome. But, I am willing to take that risk for this video.

2oceansvibers and norms alike will be aware of the term ‘prawn’ which is the ‘affectionate’ term used to describe cyclists. The term stems from their similarity to the aliens in the movie, District 9 – where the aliens were referred to as prawns. The defining feature is clearly the shape of cycling helmets, which mimics that of an alien’s head. All of that is set to change..

CAPE TOWN, SOUTH AFRICA – 27 October 2010: Shereen Barnes joined hundreds of protestors and members of the media in a march from Kaizergracht to Parliament to protest against the proposed Protection of Information Bill and the setting up of media tribunal in Cape Town, South Africa on 27 October 2010. Protestors also marched to […]

Cape Town’s favourite acapella group, D7, made a special appearance at this year’s Rocking The Daisies music festival in Darling. Personally, I don’t know how they manage to get their shit together. Rehearsing is clearly the big one. But for me just getting seven mates to be at the same place at the same time, often requires an act of God. God was clearly there as we se in this video at the Daisies with special guest stars Ard Matthews and Butlers Pizza.

Axe Cop is different to every other comic, if for nothing else than it’s written by Malachai Nicolle, whose name probably means nothing to you because he is only five years old! With characters like Avocado Man and Dinosaur Soldier, it’s a shoe-in to become my new favourite thing.

It took me an embarrassing amount of time to figure out that the lady on the left is a robot. It’s the futuristic version of accidentally chatting up a mannequin, except like a million times more unsettling. Because mannequins don’t have powerful robot arms that can crush a man.

How many times have you heard, “Not tonight, I have a headache.”? It is possibly one of the greatest cliches of all time…probably due to the fact that every single person has experienced this in one form or another.

But do not fear my fellow lovers, it seems that there is hope after all, well maybe not hope, but rather an explanation.

Everyone’s favourtie SKY News anchor, Charlotte Hawkins, will be joining the 2oceansvibe Radio team LIVE on Thursday morning, towards the end of the breakfast show. You might recall we first made contact with Charlotte earlier on this year, via a tongue-in-cheek article about her newsroom crush..

The annual list of most corrupt countries in the world has been released by Transparency International, and South Africa didn’t do all that badly, as these things go. I mean, 54th out of 178 countries? It’s not the kind of thing you put up on your fridge or anything, but it’s not bad.

How’s that heading? Well it is the heading that was given to an article written on Marie Claire’s website. And man oh man has it caused some fat people to get really really angry.

I went to bed the other night and suddenly realised that I hadn’t seen my iPad for a couple of days. It wasn’t in the Safe House, so I got out of bed, went to the garage and searched my car and my Vespa – nothing! It gradually dawned on me that I might not have seen my iPad since the Tuesday of that same week – on a flight from Johannesburg to Cape Town (a Kulula flight, no less). Oh my good Lord, what had I done?

Really. I know that the internet is full of videos of cats doing interesting things or babies falling over or hilarious local news networks, but these are five minutes that will be better spent than making photocopies or getting the Jenkin’s report done or whatever it is you employed people do.

Positioning themselves as “A Porthole To The Model World” I was very impressed when I came across the Gemini Models website, when strolling through the internet the other day. Praise should certainly be given to the owner, Frieda (of Gemeni Solutions) who has not only targeted a specific niche in the market, but is absolutely nailing it too! These guys could teach the Cape Town agencies a thing or two..
