Will her report this week include witty references to parallel parking? Only clicking through to download the very small, very punchy mp3 will give you the answer…

Rowan Somerville Wins This Year’s Award for Bad Sex In Literature
01 Dec 2010 by Jasmine Stone / No Comments
Since 1993, the Literary Review has presented an annual Bad Sex in Fiction Award for the worst description of a sex scene in a novel – and this year that honour went to Rowan Somerville, who narrowly edged out Franzen and Campbell with the sexy, sexy line “like a lepidopterist mounting a tough-skinned insect with a too blunt pin he screwed himself into her.”

I Hope This Gets To You: Sending Love Letters Through The Blogosphere
01 Dec 2010 by Jasmine Stone / No Comments
Generally we don’t like putting the words ‘love’ and ‘viral’ in the same sentence, because they’re usually followed with ‘should clear up after a round of penicillin.’ Thankfully, this online love-letter-video-thing isn’t the kind you need protection for; it’s a guy’s attempt at reaching his long-distance girlfriend virally over the internet.

A Weekend In Jozi – Featuring The Incredible Aqua-Dip Man
30 Nov 2010 by Seth Rotherham / 1 Comment
I cruised up to Johannesburg on Friday morning with La Muse, The Dude and Salty. We were up for the highly anticipated launch of the new MINI Countryman. I checked the weather report and it mentioned the late 20’s, so I thought we might as well stay until Sunday evening. I mean, there could be worse things than lounging at The Westcliff Pool, right?

The Best Thing About Wikileaks: Putin and Berlusconi’s ‘Bromance’
29 Nov 2010 by Jasmine Stone / No Comments
So a bunch of new information came to light with the recent Wikileaks release, blah blah everybody’s a spy, they’re planning on reunifying Korea, the U.S.is failing to prevent Syria arming Hezbollah, big deal. But apparently Russia’s badass PM Vladimir Putin and Italy’s pimp-daddy PM Silvio Berlusconi are fist-pumping bros!

Obama In Stitches – In A Bad Way
29 Nov 2010 by Jasmine Stone / No Comments
So there you are shooting hoops with some buddies on a Friday afternoon and bam! Your elbow connects the face of the most powerful man on earth. Naturally you don’t own up but wait for the world’s media to catch on to the story and identify you with the help of the Secret Service.

Facebook Stalking: Even The Israeli Military Does It!
25 Nov 2010 by Jasmine Stone / No Comments
Poor Israeli military. You’re like that lonely guy, going through a pretty girl’s photos to see if she really does have a boyfriend, like she said that one time at that club. Except replace ‘boyfriend’ with ‘Orthodox Jewish background,’ which is a way better excuse anyway.

The Mypressi TWIST: Good, Mobile Coffee That You Deserve
24 Nov 2010 by Seth Rotherham / 1 Comment
You know those times when you’re cruising on your Vespa, hitting the road with particular destination in mind? Perhaps you’re poodling up a mountain – perhaps not. It’s a bright, sunny late afternoon, some might even call it dusk. Light is thrown across the city scape below, and a slightly chilly wind is up. You think to yourself, “I could use some coffee right now”. Well you wouldn’t be able to get any, right? Wrong. So wrong.

Charles Bronson Kills Hipsters [VIDEO]
24 Nov 2010 by Jasmine Stone / No Comments
Hipster-bashing was a thing on the internet for a while, except then hipsters started doing it to be ironic and the whole thing got sort of uncomfortable for everyone. Except this little gem’s popped up to make it okay again: a fake movie trailer for Charles Bronson Kills Hipsters. From a time when mustaches were sincere.

Inventor Crossing UAE In Solar-Powered Wheelchair To Prove Some Kind Of Point
23 Nov 2010 by Jasmine Stone / 2 Comments
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!

Youtube’s Ad Of The Year Isn’t The Old Spice Guy
23 Nov 2010 by Jasmine Stone / No Comments
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 […]

The World’s Oldest Champagne And Beer Still Taste Pretty Okay
22 Nov 2010 by Jasmine Stone / No Comments
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.

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.

The Phone Kerchief: Obey Phone Etiquette, Look Dapper Doing It
19 Nov 2010 by Jasmine Stone / No Comments
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.

‘Cowboys & Aliens’ Is Going To Make Cowboys and Harrison Ford Cool Again
18 Nov 2010 by Jasmine Stone / 3 Comments
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.

November 18: ‘Have Sex With a Guy With a Mustache’ Day
18 Nov 2010 by Jasmine Stone / No Comments
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.’

Another Creepy Japanese Thing: Holographic Concerts
17 Nov 2010 by Jasmine Stone / No Comments
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.’

Picture Of The R325,000,000 Diamond
17 Nov 2010 by Jasmine Stone / No Comments
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.

At Last, A Reason To Want To Be An Astronaut
17 Nov 2010 by Jasmine Stone / No Comments
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.

“Snuff Will Reduce Your Physical And Sexual Performance
17 Nov 2010 by Seth Rotherham / No Comments
A big thumbs-down is what they’re giving it, on the cigarette-pack warnings found in Chile. It is interesting to note the contrast between them and the yanks, who have just introduced new warnings which show graphic imagery on their packs, comparing cigarettes to mainlining heroimn. The direct Google translation of the text, by the way, […]

Take That, Old Spice: Fat People Smell Better
16 Nov 2010 by Jasmine Stone / No Comments
Wait, no, that’s not right. People who are overweight have a better SENSE of smell. In the continuing search for the real cause of obesity, researchers at the University of Portsmouth have established a correlation between obesity and heightened sense of smell. Presumably those who can smell the bacon first get the bacon first.

The game is set to be released in American Spring 2011 and will offer a different experience for those who enjoy blundering about a virtual map shouting obscentities, while waxing lyrical with a friend about bashing an elderly bystander’s head in with the back of a stolen car.

12 Nov 2010 by Jasmine Stone / 2 Comments
Earlier today we told you about Paul Chambers, the nice young man from Ireland who has been convicted of “menace” after joking on Twitter about airport security.
The message was clear. Don’t joke about airport security. Unless, of course, you ARE airport security.

Sorry, what?

Zack Snyder, the man behind 300 and Watchmen, has released the trailer for his new film – Sucker Punch. Judging from the trailer, this is a movie about crazy & attractive ladies, dragons, robots, guns, swords and cabaret. My pants just got a little tighter.
