Andy and the gang from Smart About What pulled through to 2oceansvibe Radio the other day, to get the lowdown on internet Radio. It’s a fantastic video and, dare I say it, quite informative too! Check it out by clicking the image below: Our boy kicks off with: As a 20 something Cape Tonian Caucasian, […]

So if you’re unable to make it, you can have your own little party on your ace in your bedsit in Balham! Good lord, it’s […]
Steady and The Film Guy shot this little vid for Sloggi Underwear. They sent it with the caption, “though you might enjoy.” THOUGHT? MIGHT? Give me a break – you should’ve just written “You love this – FACT” before I had even seen it. And that lovely blonde lass in the video? Wow – very […]
The Pale Blue Dot Carl Sagan is a deceased astronaut astronomer. And that miniscule blue dot inside the blue circle is Earth. He is one of the few people to have ever existed who could claim to have pondered global events with a truly broad perspective. When you’ve considered the earth from 6,1 billion miles […]
I missed this wonderful little video taken earlier on in the year at the BBS Sport Relief Night – featuring Smithy, who is turning out to be one of Britain’s most loved comics. But that’s not the only person it features. It’s got everyone from Becks and Fabio, to Jenson Button, Wayne Rooney ands Andy […]
Ladies and gentlemen, you may or may not be aware that South Africa is home (or is it?) to a competitively-ranked homeless persons’ football squad. Furthermore (as they say), they’ve qualified to take part in this years Homeless Soccer World Cup, held in Rio over the course of the next two weeks. But they need […]
A national hero For breakfast, it’s steak porridge. For lunch, it’s steak. Around 3pm it’s a blended steak meal replacement. For dinner, it’s steak, with a side of biltong. We could be talking of no other than South Africa’s freshest Guinness World Record holder, Jan Braai.
Television personality and social media philanthropist, Alyssa Milano, is breaking new ground with social media and money. Stay with me now. She’s auctioning a follow from her on Twitter. That’s right. The highest bidder on her Twitchange Ebay page will win a following from Milano’s twitter handle, @Alyssa_Milano.
Remember the most hated bakkie in Cape Town? The Big Issue vendor who suffered unwarranted humiliation at the hands of has shown us once again why this country is ultimately worth believing in. Despite initial reports that Florence Godonwana, 36, would lay charges of crimen injuria against the men who threw water on her, she […]
When the news came through that the Bobs for Good Foundation had delivered 282 pairs of shoes to Makanyu Primary school in the rural village of Hampego in Limpopo, I was sure that the school’s name had come up in the press before. So I did a little research and, sure enough, the school HAD […]
With the movie The Social Network coming out next month, Facebook really is the talk of the town. Or talk of the earth, I should rather say. The excitement relating to Facebook is largely to do with the speed at which its grown in such a short time. It is relatively new in our lives. […]
I enjoy countdown clocks. Remember that 2010 World Cup Football countdown? My God – it feels like you will never reach the end. But then, BANG, it comes and goes and on we go! I reckon we should keep an eye on this one as well, because it’s gonna move faster than you think! Are […]
Just a quick one to the people out there who are just learning about calendar invites on their computers. You know, the function in Outlook (on PCs) and Entourage/Mail (on Macs) that let’s you create an appointment in your calendar, with an invite that sends to other people involved in that meeting. Thing is this, […]
If you don’t pop into The Cool Hunter every now and then, you’re doing yourself a great injustice. Take for example this new ad for Mini that they picked up on. God, it’s good! This, from The Cool Hunter : One of the selling points for Mini Cooper Clubman – the Mini that is roomier […]
Woah! I was more than over-the-moon when this little video appeared in my inbox. I have no idea if it is purely on the web or if it’s on TV as well, but one thing is for sure, it’s RED HOT! Check out this ad for Woolworths Distraction Lingerie: Well done, Woolies – now you’re […]
This was just MMS’d to me by The Advertiser, who took this pic on his phone, somewhere in Venice Beach. No-one bats an eyelid at stuff like this around Los Angeles – it’s completely normal! ‘Awesome’ doesn’t even begin to describe it. I mean, seriously, there is so much to talk about. The tassels. The […]
If you don’t know about this yet, you’re probably the last person – so I’m glad to be of service! This, from JustJared : Check out this new song from Cee Lo Green! Cee Lo Green takes off into the stratosphere! The insanely catchy “F— You,” which has logged over 4 million views on YouTube, […]
Hahaha! This is pretty funny – sent in by all sorts of people and has clearly becoming a bit of a hit on Twitter and other “social medias.” Well done to thatmandie, who posted it on YouTube. “Hitler is disgusted to find out that his blog did not crack enough nominations for the 2010 SA […]
Those of you connected to a neat little trick called the internet (I hear it’s getting quite big) may know that the 62nd annual Emmy Awards went off without nary a hitch last night. At least, that would be the opinion of everyone besides the event’s host, Jimmy Falon. Much to Jimmy’s chagrin, Ricky Gervais […]
Some of you studied at UCT. Some of you may have even been forced to make forays to UCT’s Hiddingh Campus, AKA Hipster-Central. I remember those brief, but terrifying outings. The Hipsters. They’re so, so much cleverer than us. They talk about Nietzsche and Kant, and judge me when I reply by telling them not […]
It takes a lot to impress the tribal council, here at the 2oceansvibe Lair, and we have to give it to the people who worked on this bit of Mercedes Benz exposure. Check it out – spotted in Cavendish Square: Something wrong with that picture, right? Remove the car, and this is what you get: […]
There’s a cess-pit of bad football films out there. Of course, the discerning viewer will recognise that Any Given Sunday rises above the sentiment and excrement that makes up 90% of the movies in this drama. It’s a great film. There’s plenty of old-school Pacino filth and grit in there. And there’s that one, iridescent […]
Similar, much? 2oceansvibe was abuzz in Friday afternoon with news that Russian statesman, Vladimir Putin, had cross-bowed a whale. But we thought it was worth the time to point out, on record, that Putin only spends part of his time shooting sea behemoths from rubber dingies, swimming in frozen Siberian lakes, hunting Brown Bears with […]
Are you underpaid, undervalued, and sidelined at work? Are you feeling brave? Then QUIT! QUIT I TELL YOU! Everyone else is striking, why not one-up those public-sector amateurs? But if you’re going to do it, you absolutely have to do it in style, like (yes, we know it’s fake), or this. But writing, photography, and […]
My children, you know that every now and then I like to treat you with helpful hints and tips that will make your lives easier. We’ve already had that conversation about how we don’t make phone calls unless absolutely necessary, right? We text first. Okay? Okay. But some of you came to me recently, with […]
Sumos…Big hands = big slaps Anyone who knows a thing or two about the intricacies and nuances of life as a Sumo Wrestler (pfft, who doesn’t?) will understand that the Sumo is a creature bred for power, weight, and a surprising degree of flexibility. But they’re definitely not bred for texting, or email, or any […]
Unbelievable scenes this last week as the latest wave of TBG (Tall Blonde Guy)hysteria hits Cape Town. The revelation that The TBG was the inspiration for the recent Roger Federer Gillette commercial, really did own topical conversation this last wee. It was only a matter of time before another TBG sighting was made. This time […]
Word is spreading like wildfire through 2oceansvibe headquarters that a British photographer, by the name of Nick Gleis, managed to sneak onto the private jets of a number of Seth’s closest confidants, who also happen to be the steward’s of many of Africa’s most glorious revolutions. These hallowed men include the likes of Bob Mugabe, […]
My God, when we announced the Boschendal Cooling Towers competition, we didn’t expect anything this world class to appear! We asked you, the 2oceansvibe readers to send your best footage of the Athlone Cooling Towers (or, rather, the “Ladies of Athlone” – a title which I have NEVER heard before) going down last Sunday. Obviously […]
