THE MANY ADVENTURES OF JIMMY JUMP
27 Jul 2010 by Jasmine Stone / 1 Comment
Seth posted this footage of a man allegedly trying to steal the World Cup (that’s right, the trophy) at the 2010 Fifa World Cup final at Soccer City on July 11. Some of you were kind enough to point out that “a man” was actually Jimmy Jump, a 34 year old professional pitch invader and […]

JANE AUSTEN’S “FIGHT CLUB”
27 Jul 2010 by Seth Rotherham / No Comments
The original Fight Club with Brad Pitt is on a lot of people’s “Top 10 favourite movies” lists. It’s exciting , it’s scandalous and, for the ladies, one might even deem it sexy. This is exactly what Jane Austen has offered with the upcoming film, “Jane Austen’s Fight Club” which witnesses the uprising of illegal […]

COMING SOON – THE MANLIEST MOVIE EVER MADE, EVER
26 Jul 2010 by Jasmine Stone / 7 Comments
The Expendables will be the manliest movie you will ever watch in your whole life. Warning: Effeminate viewers may suffer death. Written and directed by the star of the film, Sylvester Stallone, The Expendables promises pretty much the same kind of action as Rambo 4, except this time there’s more than one guy with huge […]

SIMON COWELL SUED FOR BEING NASTY – CUE SURPRISED FACE
23 Jul 2010 by Jasmine Stone / 3 Comments
Simon Cowell is a news maker. He’s made his mark by being the asshole judge on shows like Idols, America’s Got Talent, and Britain’s Got Talent. More importantly, he’s earned the reputation of an asshole who very seldom makes a bad call. So some might regard the man to be evil, others may hold the […]

SPACEY NAILS PACINO WITH ONE WORD
22 Jul 2010 by Seth Rotherham / 5 Comments
That headline is somewhat ambiguous and I should begin by saying this story has nothing to do with Kevin Spacey trying to pickup Al Pacino after reading a copy of The Game. What it does have to do with, is the fact that Kevin Spacey is a master impersonator. Almost as good as Brendan Seery […]

JUST JINJER TOUR KICKS OFF NEXT WEEK
21 Jul 2010 by Seth Rotherham / No Comments
Just yesterday I received an email from a reader saying they watched Just Jinjer in Johannesburg who had this to say: “holy shitballs they rocked amazing stage presence I went with some music mates and they must have creamed their pants several times…especially when they did that water and ice drum solo…INSANE..” Now you don’t […]

WHY, AB, WHY?
21 Jul 2010 by Jasmine Stone / 12 Comments
You know AB De Villiers, the South African cricket team’s star batsman? Well, he’s singing now – the recorded kind. And, best of all, he’s making music videos for his moer lekker treffers. In his powerful ballad, titled Maak Jou Drome Waar (“Make Your Dreams Come True), AB teams up with previously obscure but presumably […]

IT’S BACK BABY! THE CAPRICE 2 FOR 1 BURGER SPECIAL!
21 Jul 2010 by Seth Rotherham / 2 Comments
For those of you new to the concept – let me first fill you in on the Dreamy Burger. This following excerpt was taken from last year’s burger special announcement: I remember when my all time favourite Caprice waitress, Justine, first described the Dreamy Burger to me. It was something to do with a slab […]

19 Jul 2010 by Seth Rotherham / No Comments
My GOD, I loved ninja stars as a child! It’s been so long and what better way for the beautiful stars of death to be reintroduced into my life, than in the new Brandon Flowers (The Killers lead singer) solo music video. And not only are they featured in the video, but it’s got Charlize […]

CULTURE CLASSICS – SPOTTED ON THE STREETS
19 Jul 2010 by Seth Rotherham / 1 Comment
Well with Mel Gibson’s latest rage and George Michael smashing his Range rover into a shop, pissed, one can only be impressed with these quick-off-the-mark thinkers. This, sent in by Nick W, which his mate took and sent him – taken at the very Snappy Snaps outlet which George Michael crashed into. the damage is […]

SEPP BLATTER IS A “DICKHEAD”
16 Jul 2010 by Jasmine Stone / 1 Comment
Love him or hate him, but mostly hate him, Sepp Blatter was the lucky recipient of the Order of the Companions of OR Tambo, bestowed upon his reverend person by the magnanimous nation of South Africa. Well, alright then. You diplomats brown nose each other in whichever way you prefer. But, oh sweet heavens, how […]

THE BEATING CHAMBER – NOW IN MALLS
15 Jul 2010 by Jasmine Stone / No Comments
In the gulag that Seth has us working in, we have a beating chamber. It’s the one small mercy of my life at 2oceansvibe. When I’m relieved of my duties as a human coffee table (after meetings), I go back to the beating chamber, where I get to break microwaves, furniture and sunglasses from rival […]

DAKOTA FANNING IS APPARENTLY NOT A LITTLE GIRL ANY MORE
15 Jul 2010 by Seth Rotherham / 1 Comment
I’m feeling all weird inside as I write this, but it would be wrong not to (write this) as one of Hollywoods youngest starlets, Dakota “The Fandog” Fanning, really is growing up. Sure, she’s only 16, but that’s about 28 in Hollywood years. I mean, if you think about it, Roman Polanski would have had […]

VIDEO OF MAN STEALING WORLD CUP
14 Jul 2010 by Seth Rotherham / 8 Comments
I heard about this around town but couldn’t find any footage of it – you know, the story about the guy who ran across the pitch before the start of the World Cup final. So instead of finding it myself, the footage found me! In the form of an email from 2oceansviber, Chris V. [Everybody] […]

Cape Town vibers, a little blue bird told me that South African muso Farryl Purkiss will be playing an exclusive, intimate gig at a chilled, private venue on the Atlantic Seaboard this evening. The first five vibers to email me (correct email after jump) get their name on the list, as well as the details […]

BRAAI 4 HERITAGE ON SEPTEMBER 24
12 Jul 2010 by Seth Rotherham / 1 Comment
I put up a braai article the other day (The New Concise SA Braai Rules) which was very well received. So much so that I was contacted by the guys behind “National Braai Day ” which is a brilliant initiative aimed at establishing an annual day of celebration in South Africa – with South Africans […]

BEST HEADLINE OF 2010?
12 Jul 2010 by Jasmine Stone / No Comments
Independent Newspapers [IOL, Cape Times etc] is known for its occasionally obtuse and ambiguous headlines. For example, when more boring news groups might report “TWO MEN ARRESTED IN DRUG BUST”, Independent would probably phrase it thus: “WITNESS FINGERS DRUG LORDS – TWO ARRESTED” Shockingly enough, what I’m about to show you did NOT, I repeat, […]

“TWILIGHT” FOR GUYS
09 Jul 2010 by Seth Rotherham / 1 Comment
The Muse is threatening a viewing of the new Twilight at some stage this weekend – possibly even as soon as Friday night. With weed levels at an all-time low, I’m not really sure how this is all going to pan out. Let alone whether or not I will make it to the other side. […]

THE ULTIMATE VUVUZELA QUESTION
08 Jul 2010 by Jasmine Stone / 2 Comments
We’ve debated it, we’ve dealt with it, we’ve heard that it’s really bad for your hearing (well, we actually read that, we’re completely void to the world of sound now). Hell, we’ve exported it to the world. There is only one last thing to ask of the vuvuzela.

“CAPE TOWN IS THE FUTURE” – ACCORDING TO AN AUSSIE JOURNO
08 Jul 2010 by Seth Rotherham / No Comments
My dad sent me this article from the Australian online publication, Crikey. Quite an interesting take and a must read for all! Personally I was taken by the quote, “Cape Town Is the Future.” It took me back to a few years ago when I attended the Commonwealth Games in Melbourne, Australia. The crowd in […]

WIMPY LAUNCH HILARIOUS ONLINE GAME AND COMPETITION
08 Jul 2010 by Seth Rotherham / No Comments
If there ever was a brand that has always been around the block, it’s Wimpy. Waves of nostalgia and memories of road-trips to Plett enter my mind, with me servicing my dad a fresh cold beer every couple of hours and a glass (real glass – plastic gives her Ladyship moth ulcers) of wine (with […]

IRAN BANS MULLETS, PREFERS THE CHIN-HAWK
08 Jul 2010 by Jasmine Stone / 1 Comment
There’s a crisis in the Middle East, ladies and gentlemen. For centuries, the mullet has stood on the threshold of visual offense and radical expression of freedom. And in yet another move to isolate itself from the global Wayne’s World generation, Iran has banned that most majestic and elusive of creatures, the mullet. Imagine a […]

THIS IS THE WORST SENTENCE EVER?
07 Jul 2010 by Jasmine Stone / 3 Comments
Okay, so some of you may have sniffed out the Bulwer-Lytton Award in the press recently. In a nutshell, it’s an annual prize for the most heinously horrible complete sentence known to the English language, penned in the year of the award. No, the IOL sub-editors did not clinch the prize this year. Without further […]

THE NEW 2OCEANSVIBE SONG – BY “I SCREAM & THE CHOCOLATE STIX”
06 Jul 2010 by Seth Rotherham / 5 Comments
Remember that band that made that sick “My Cape Town” song? The one that went viral and brought down the Seacom cable? Ja, that one. Ok, it didn’t really bring down Seacom, but it did manage to get Helen Zille to comment on their Facebook page. We’ve also featured it a couple of times on […]

iPAD A LA CARTE
06 Jul 2010 by Jasmine Stone / No Comments
Sydney Restaurant, Mundo Global Tapas, may have a silly sounding name, but they are rocking the their technological potential as an eatery. Picture this: You walk into a restaurant, and instead of being handed the usual crusty leather-bound tome of a menu fitted with pseudo-brass corners, you’re handed an iPad. You think, “Cool! A pre-drinks […]

WEED LIFESTYLE MAGAZINE – HUH?
02 Jul 2010 by Jasmine Stone / No Comments
Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to Rosebud, the marijuana lifestyle magazine. The guy in the photo is James Daly, the editor of this new print publication. What’s wrong with this picture? Well, I dunno about you, but that guy seems a little paranoid weary of the camera. But that’s to be expected, because the man is […]

iPAD DUMMIES – 1001 POSSIBILITIES
01 Jul 2010 by Jasmine Stone / 2 Comments
iPad dummies are available for $49, no word of lies. Yep, that’s 100% genuine fake replica right there. The dimensions are exactly the same, the weight is similar, and the plastic of the replica bears a striking resemblance to the metal and glass of the real deal. But, sadly, the brains are all missing. Where […]

SOUTH AFRICA’S RON BURGUNDY RETURNS
01 Jul 2010 by Jasmine Stone / No Comments
Mahendra Raghunath is back at the SABC news room. After a lengthy employer-employee dispute that was sparked by a little alleged insider information trading by Raghunath to a few Sunday newspapers, the SABC has finally caved. South Africa’s favourite mortal news caster (the everlasting Riaan Cruywagen be praised) is soon to be back on our […]
