Eish-man Leads Stellar Cast At Fugard Theatre
27 Jan 2011 by Jasmine Stone / No Comments
If you’re feeling like a dose of good, solid live performance, head down to the Fugard Theatre to catch Neels van Jaarsveld and co in Athol Fugard’s ‘Die Kaptein Se Tier’. That’s Afrikaans for ‘the Captain’s Tiger.’ But don’t worry too much if you barely scraped through tweede taal Afrikaans, the performance comes complete with subtitles.

Can I be the first to say awwwww yeah? Would that be okay with you guys? I mean, I don’t want to step on anybody’s toes or anything, but Isaiah Mustafa and his striking brown eyes are back to peddle Old Spice at me, and it just feels right. Okay? Here I go. Awwwww yeah.

Twitter A ‘Form Of Modern Madness,’ Because Of Course It Is.
26 Jan 2011 by Jasmine Stone / No Comments
Oh, good! Somebody with a PHD decided to speak out against ‘the twitters,’ on the ground that social networking websites are making us “less human” by isolating people from reality. Presumably also responsible are trading card games, Playstation, and books.

God, these headlines just write themselves. Um. But seriously, the Burrouch Council in Redditch is putting together a over a plan to use heat generated by the local crematorium to warm up the Abbey Stadium swimming pool, to save£14,500-a-year. Which somehow doesn’t sit right with everybody.

Trust Me, I Read It On Wikipedia
24 Jan 2011 by Jasmine Stone / No Comments
American comedic genius Stephen Colbert once famously said, in reference to Wikipedia, “if you make something up and enough people agree with you–it becomes reality”. Check out this link to 15 of the best Wikipedia hoaxes and blunders. Special mention to the person who managed to edit Sepp Blatter’s middle name to ‘Bellend’, cockney slang for ‘tip of the penis.’ Classic.

Johannesburg Traffic Lights Stripped For Unlimited Phone Calls
20 Jan 2011 by Jasmine Stone / No Comments
This is sort of cool and sort of awful. Jozi thieves have stripped about 400 ‘high-tech traffic lights’ of their sim cards, modems and GPS systems, using the sim cards to make unlimited free phone calls. It will cost about R8,8 million to replace these fancy, legitimately robot-like traffic lights. Regular GPS-free traffic lights are unaffected.

DROP EVERYTHING. They’re Selling Whiskey In Cans
19 Jan 2011 by Jasmine Stone / 1 Comment
I’m not sure how to feel about this. Scottish Spirits is testing out canned whiskey in South America on the grounds that outdoor drinkers would rather not have to lug a bottle of the stuff around. You also look like less of an insane drunk if you’re taking sips from a can instead of swigs from a bottle of scotch, so there’s that.

19 Jan 2011 by Jasmine Stone / No Comments
This is the sixth installment of the weekly Sex In The Mother City series. The morning sunshine breaks through the windows to reveal the aftermath of Kira’s shenanigans in Episode 5. Dawn brings yet more racy offers – young Swedes in hotel lobbies, billionaires, strippers, and international entrepreneurs: the only question worth asking is, will […]

1950’s Housewives Tripping On Acid: What Youtube Was Invented For
19 Jan 2011 by Jasmine Stone / 1 Comment
Some fantastic footage has recently come to light, showing a 1956 housewife on her first acid trip as part of a drug trial. We all know how stupid people sound when trying to describe their trips – and throw in some 50’s black and white sensibility? Hilarious. She can see all of the molecules, apparently.

Badvertising: Insanely Inappropriate MLK Day Sale.
18 Jan 2011 by Jasmine Stone / No Comments
So tomorrow’s Martin Luther King Jr.’s birthday! Which is kind of a holiday now. And stores like to celebrate that kind of thing with sales and stuff, because that’s what the King was all about, right? Right. Which is why it is totally sensible for Thalia Surf Shop in Laguna to take 20% off all of it’s black products.

This Guy Is Trying To Prolong His Perception Of Time By Doing New Or Awkward Things
18 Jan 2011 by Jasmine Stone / No Comments
The goal here is pretty cool! Sort of. Extend your perception of time by doing new or uncomfortable things – and have more, better memories of a given day than you would if you were doing dull stuff. We like it – we’re all about extending the vibe. Even if uncomfortable things are required of you from time to time.

Let’s Play The Name Game
17 Jan 2011 by Jasmine Stone / No Comments
After three princes named Brooklyn, Cruz and Romeo, the Beckham’s are finally expecting a princess. I shudder to think what the poor girl’s name will be. Any ideas? This exciting news takes me way back to when Britney Spears and Kevin Federline were expecting their first born.

Is YOUR Fridge An iPhone-Controlled Beer Cannon? This Guy’s Is.
17 Jan 2011 by Jasmine Stone / No Comments
Well, I guess Ryan Rusnak wins at weekends. Nice try, everybody. This dude set up his fridge to fire a variety of beers at him from across the room whenever he keys in the command on his iPhone. I mean sure, he’s choosing to have Bud Light thrown at him, but cultural differences. Focus on the potential here.

The Asian Kid From Glee Did A Short Film With Lightsabers In It
13 Jan 2011 by Jasmine Stone / No Comments
It’s pretty good! I mean, as lightsaber-based films go. Also, it’s called ‘3 Minutes’ which is helpful if you want the title to tell you how long a film is. They could’ve called The English Patient ‘Too Goddamned Long,’ for instance. Incidentally, is this what Glee is? Running around with lightsabers? Because then I would understand its appeal.

‘Superhero’ In Seattle Gets Nose Broken. What?
12 Jan 2011 by Jasmine Stone / No Comments
So. ‘Phoenix Jones,’ some dude in Seattle who wears a cape/mask outfit and stops crime with a stun gun and fists got his nose broken over the weekend after trying to stop a night-time brawl. Surprise! Local police have advised Jones and the rest of his super-team (‘Red Dragon’ & ‘Buster Joe’) to stop getting involved in dangerous situations.

Chatter on the street is that Prince William’s stag party is going down at the Fez in Cape Town. Nothing’s confirmed at this point, but the rationale for the speculation is rather convincing. Click through for more.

My New Favourite Way To Get Fired
11 Jan 2011 by Jasmine Stone / 1 Comment
This is from the internet, so I can’t promise that it’s real – but I hope it is. I really do. Apparently this guy got fired from a Domino’s pizza chain for walking in drunk or otherwise chemically affected and the results – well. Read the termination letter yourself, I beg you. It’s beautiful.

Destroy Ed Hardy And Clothe The Homeless
10 Jan 2011 by Jasmine Stone / No Comments
The folks at the Super Top Secret advertising firm are taking any Ed Hardy or Affliction t-shirt you send them and donating the clothing to the homeless. We like to keep our bird/stone ratio pretty solid here at 2ov, so the possibility of lowering the global douchebag quotient and helping out the lower-income brackets appeals.

There Aren’t Really Any Good Puns About Green Rivers In Canada [VIDEO]
10 Jan 2011 by Jasmine Stone / 1 Comment
I know, I was surprised too. Some dudes in Canada decided to hurl a couple of bottles of flouroscein into the Goldstream River, turning the whole thing bright flouro green. Way to one-up the Old Testament, Canada. I thought you guys were supposed to be nice.

Stodels Nursery Expands Ass Offering
04 Jan 2011 by Seth Rotherham / 1 Comment
It was just a month ago that a reader sent in proof that Stodels Nursery was selling ‘Ass Succulents.’ We agreed that this made sense, giving the current demand for Ass Products. But Ass Succulent sales were clearly off the charts, as Stodels is now also selling Pear Ass and Peach Ass. Who would have thought? Check it out after the link.

England Celebrate Ashes Win With Sprinkler Dance [VIDEO]
30 Dec 2010 by Jasmine Stone / No Comments
That headline is not misleading in any way. After inventing the game, and then being beaten at it by almost every one of your former colonies, the English regained a small measure of cricketing pride by spanking the Australian cricket team at the MCG. It took all of fifteen minutes to squander their new found dignity.

5 Smart-People Books That Are Secretly Sexy
28 Dec 2010 by Jasmine Stone / No Comments
Reading is a little challenging. Obviously not that challenging – you’re doing it right now – but the idea of being out there in the world and letting people judge you based on the latest thing [insert shitty author] has squeezed out is a pretty scary thought, for some. But never fear! There are books that make you look smart for no apparent reason.

5 Christmassy Songs That Aren’t Awful
24 Dec 2010 by Jasmine Stone / 1 Comment
Christmas! That time of year when you remember how terrible Boney M is, when the joyful screeching of little children makes you want to take a cheese-grater to the ears, and when you worry that nothing but all the liquor in the world will make things better. Except not all christmas-noises are terrible. Here is some evidence.
