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.

Josh Groban Sings Kanye West’s Tweets [VIDEO]
05 Jan 2011 by Jasmine Stone / No Comments
When you hear the name Josh Groban, the violin line from “You Raise Me Up” starts wilting away in your head, hey? That’s because that was the only song that guy frigging sang for about two years. But hey, all power too him – the man is fabulously succesful nowadays. And with all that record […]

Separated At Birth: Kevin Pietersen And Chip Douglas
23 Dec 2010 by Jasmine Stone / No Comments
This past weekend I suffered the doppelganger effect. It’s that moment of television watching when, just as the sofa threatens to ingest your lumpy physique, your whole body surges forward violently, propelled by sudden realisation. Kevin Pietersen met the Cable Guy in my mind’s eye.

A Dry Niagra Falls
22 Dec 2010 by Jasmine Stone / No Comments
These photographs were shot in 1969, and were uncovered in some inocuous storage unit just last week. They’re a pretty fascinating documentary of a brief period in 1969 when the United States Army Engineer Corps dammed up the falls slightly upstream. It was the first time in thousands of years that the falls had run dry.

Japanese Scientists Make Breakthrough In Genetic Science, Hope To Create Mickey Mouse
22 Dec 2010 by Jasmine Stone / No Comments
Walt Disney will be clicking his heels in his grave. Japanese scientists have, by promoting the miscopying of DNA from mice to their progeny, randomly produced a mouse that sings very much like a bird. So what are we aiming for here? Mouse servants? Mouse message couriers? No, not even remotely.

The Rubberbandits – Horse Outside [VIDEO]
21 Dec 2010 by Jasmine Stone / No Comments
Irish people are generally funny. And I’m allowed to say that, because my mother is Irish. So when someone tells you that you have funny irishmen on your hands, you know that something special is in the offing. Presenting the Rubberbandits, an irish comedic duo from Limerick. And they have a horse outside.

Afrikaans Version Of ‘Dick In A Box’
20 Dec 2010 by Jasmine Stone / No Comments
Afrikaans has been the du jour global parody language of 2010, sonder a doubt (we’re looking at you, Die Antwoord).
So it’s only fair that we round out the year with an Afrikaans parody of The Lonely Island’s beloved Dick In A Box SNL skit.

The Terrible, Terrible Future Is Here: Advertisements That Burn Logos Into Your Eyes
20 Dec 2010 by Jasmine Stone / 1 Comment
I have feared this for years. What happens if one day you switch off the television, but the McDonalds logo is still burnt into the back of your corneas, and it won’t go away until you buy the Biggest Mac that there ever was? Well, that day is today friends. Sort of. Once in a theatre in Germany.

The Internet Had Some Things To Say This Weekend
20 Dec 2010 by Jasmine Stone / No Comments
Well, obviously. It does most weekends. Mostly it talked about don’t-ask-don’t-tell being repealed, which is splendid – but I was focusing more on what was being said about bikes. Bikes and cars. Bikes and cars and pedestrians, and their relationship to one another. The word ‘prawn’ was implied, but not quite stated.

20 Dec 2010 by Seth Rotherham / No Comments
Never before has a Twitter account been so celebrated. For a man who has spent generations creating happiness and joy throughout the world, it makes absolute sense that The TBG should allow his legions of believers this unprecedented access to his divine and magical ways.

Tina Fey Is Sarah Palin? Epic Sunday Tribune Fail
18 Dec 2010 by Jasmine Stone / 1 Comment
Independent Newspapers has been providing us with little gems of unintentional wordplay for years now. And when they’re not reporting that X politician has been fingered by Y investigative body (how many times could you withstand that kind of interrogation before you cracked?), they’re making pictorial gaffs. Please enjoy this little piece of joy.

18 Dec 2010 by Jasmine Stone / 2 Comments
So most of us, in fact all of us, will never ever be able to afford a Bugatti Veyron, but a man and in my case a woman, can dream. Bugatti have realised this dream and have loaded a Bugatti Veyron configurator online, just for you and me.

Very, Very Cool Youtube Ad
17 Dec 2010 by Jasmine Stone / 1 Comment
I know – it’s December, you’ve got this big pseudo-Christian consumerist monolith being forced down every available orifice imploring you to spend more money on This New Shiny Thing, and maybe you’re a little sick of that right now. I understand that. But believe me when I say that this is a freaking awesome advert.

Time Travel Merchandise
17 Dec 2010 by Jasmine Stone / No Comments
826LA is an adorable store that probable has a real-world address in area-code 826, LA, but which also has some awesome, dare-I-say quirky goods on display online – ‘from another time.’ Their Dodo Chow, for instance, 1970s coffee cups, or their Viking Odorant. It’s not exactly tinned unicorn meat, but it’s pretty rad!

Ha. Awesome Wikileaks Advertising In Pakistan.
16 Dec 2010 by Jasmine Stone / No Comments
Pakistan’s relations with the U.S. were talked up pretty heavily in the latest Cablegate leaks; further, false leaks with heavy anti-Indian sentiment were spread around the country by major national newspapers. So it’s nice to see the Pakistani advertisers make the most of an awkward situation.

Increasingly it seems like Assange is proving to be a bigger story than the cables he most recently to be released – HiLoBrow artist, Joe Alterio, tries to put that right with his series of illustrations paired with the more bizarre political activities revealed in the latest batch of Wikileak cables. Expect dirty dancing and ninja assassins.

You know that phrase ‘they put their pants on the same way we do?’ Well unless you dress yourself by doing a backflip, this doesn’t apply here. Please watch this stunt reel if you want to be inspired by the heights of badassery humanity can reach, or depressed by how much more badass than you this guy is.

Oh Hey, Just Unicycling Across The Country, No Big Deal
14 Dec 2010 by Jasmine Stone / No Comments
Unicycling has arguably been around since there have been wheels and chairs. That’s just science. Charity has been around for a pretty long time too. So it’s fitting that these two ancient disciplines would come together in the Counter Balance ‘Freedom Revolution Tour,’ which is raising funds to provide disadvantaged school kids with shoes.

80s Sun City Commercial [VIDEO]
14 Dec 2010 by Seth Rotherham / 3 Comments
We pulled out some vinyl in the 2oceansvibe Radio studio the other day and found ourselves playing We Will Rock You by Queen. My Friday co-host, Bruce, reminded me of the old classic Sun City TV commercial, which used the same song. My Twitter friends helped find the video. Check it out – epic!

Ozzy Speaks For All of Us [VIDEO]

Ozzy Osbourne is what’s right with the world. We’ve seen him drunk, we’ve seen him high, we’ve seen him possessed. He’s met the Queen and bit off a bat’s head. He’s a role model without equal and here he is summing up what we’re all thinking in six glowing words. Watch what happens when he’s asked his opinion on Justin Bieber.

Watch The Minneapolis Metrodrome’s Ceiling Cave In [VIDEO]
13 Dec 2010 by Jasmine Stone / 4 Comments
There are few things better than watching minor natural disasters from the comfort of your own home/office/wherever the hell you’re watching this from. Granted, the Metrodrome is about as significant to me as the International Hopscotch Court, but watching the roof cave in from the past week of snow is pretty rad.

Wrestlerish: Sleep [VIDEO]
13 Dec 2010 by Jasmine Stone / No Comments
One of 2oceansvibe’s favourite new acts to come out of the RSA, Wrestlerish, have released a splendiferous music video for their single, sleep. As the title card for the video states, the video is a composite of 921 still fan shots, snapped in and around Gauteng at Wrestlerish gigs (and one guy’s pool).
