South Africa’s Green Car Tax: Why You’re Being Screwed
07 Jun 2011 by Jasmine Stone / 7 Comments
One of the many perks of writing is the freedom to grace an article with the headline it deserves. Many media outlets have covered this story, but nobody has called it what it is. Every single one of us who buys a new car in South Africa today is being screwed. It’s called a Green […]

Donald Trump’s New $100 Million Private Jet [Video]
07 Jun 2011 by Seth Rotherham / 1 Comment
It is important that you watch videos like this, because it will give you ideas for when you win one of the overseas lotteries. Donald Trump has just bought himself a new Boeing 757 Private Jet for $100 Million. So with some of the big overseas lottery jackpots (they go up to $250 Million) you […]

The Brothers Streep On 2oceansVibe Radio
07 Jun 2011 by Jasmine Stone / No Comments
Acclaimed comedy group, The Brothers Streep, made an appearance on The Mark Bayly Show on 2oceansVibe Radio yesterday afternoon, which is a significant upgrade from their appearance on BBC’s Graham Norton show (that’s a joke). In between gulps of wine and pieces of chocolate, Simon and Dylan managed to crack out excellent acoustic renditions of […]

Apple’s New iOS 5 – What’s Under The Hood? [Video]
07 Jun 2011 by Seth Rotherham / No Comments
With Digicape taking care of the vibe since 2008, it’s a given that the 2oceansvibe Media compound is Mac ‘verskrik.’ It is for that very reason, and the fact that the world agrees with us (Apple is now worth more than Microsoft and Intel combined) that we wish to give you this video and full […]

Pub Quizzes Can Sod Off
06 Jun 2011 by Jasmine Stone / 8 Comments
Fuck pub quizzes and all who go to them. I’ve been holding on to that thought for as long as I have been in Johannesburg, which is as long as the Barclays Premier League season of 2010-2011 has run. And now that the season is over, I feel the need to tell pub quiz enthusiasts where to get off.

The Hairy-Chested Man’s Car
01 Jun 2011 by Jasmine Stone / 2 Comments
The moment was like that of a bedraggled and thirsty bandito stumbling across a well in the middle of the Mexican desert. Or Henry Stanley finally finding Dr. David Livingstone. It was catharsis. It was all I could do to stop myself from sinking to my feet and sobbing gently, right there on the sidewalk of 14th Street. I was standing in front of a bona-fide, American issue 2010 Chevy Camaro SS. Click link for rest of article.

Why You Need To Watch Formula One Again
31 May 2011 by Jasmine Stone / 7 Comments
In my humble opinion, Formula One is a sport unparalleled in prestige, tradition, wealth, gamesmanship, sportsmanship and simple, old fashioned bravado. Sure, it’s had its low moments over the years, but name me a sport which hasn’t. The thing is, all this doesn’t automatically mean good entertainment. However in 2011, they really have got it right. Here’s why.

Persol “Steve McQueen’s” From Sunglass Hut – Pure Cool…
31 May 2011 by Seth Rotherham / 4 Comments
My extensive collection of sunglasses is well documented, and I can tell you right now, without hesitation, that this new pair of Persol “Steve McQueen‘s” from Sunglass Hut is EASILY one of my favourites. They are the epitome of ‘classic’ and the contrast of the light tortoiseshell frames against the blue lenses make me so […]

In the article, entitled “The End Of Radio As We Know It,” Lin confirms that Tim Harris, the DA’s Shadow Minister of Trade & Industry, is the only person in politics that one […]

Today’s Jack Friday Winner Is…
27 May 2011 by Jasmine Stone / 1 Comment
Our weekly Jack Friday competition is beginning to build up a head of steam. And what with the winter weather approaching, it’s only appropriate that this entry, tweeted by @BrettLivesHere should claim the prize. Yes, today blossomed into a gorgeous day, but one really can’t be faulted for breaking out the pinstripe man-pyjamas and skaapie pantoffels. […]

Lindsay Williams Lambasts The Consul General Of Denmark Over Marmite
26 May 2011 by Jasmine Stone / No Comments
Lindsay William’s, co-host of the Morning Meeting on 2oceansVibe Radio, is a native son of England. You can imagine his outrage when he discovered that Denmark had implemented a ban on England’s most beloved foodstuff (after tea), Marmite. In typical Lindsay fashion, he called up the Consul General of Denmark in South Africa, live on air, to quizz him on the situation. Please enjoy the ensuing mirth, after the jump.

Bringing Up The Rear
26 May 2011 by Jasmine Stone / 2 Comments
Having covered off flyhalves and loose forwards thus far over the past weeks, Morrey continues to select his Bok world cup squad, position by position. This week’s selection focuses on the back three – best done as a unit as some players can oscillate between wing and fullback.

Gran Touring Like A Boss: We Drive The New BMW 650i Convertible
25 May 2011 by Jasmine Stone / 3 Comments
A car launch is a wonderful thing, and I do my utmost to appreciate every aspect of it. The flights, the airport lounges, the car itself, the expensive hotel, the expensive food, and then all of that repeated on day two. And every now and then a manufacturer will just fire the accountant and go nuts. Which, I imagine, is exactly what I’ve just experienced on the national launch of the BMW 6-Series Convertible.

MINI Roadster Coming Soon? [Spy Video]
25 May 2011 by Seth Rotherham / No Comments
So while the likes of DSquared2 are tarting up the MINI Countryman (here), I see they are looking at launching a MINI Roadster quite soon. I couldn’t get confirmation from MINI SA about this, let alone when they will be bringing them to SA. But if they do…. Mmm mm! We got hold of a […]

If Africa Was Unoccupied…
23 May 2011 by Jasmine Stone / 4 Comments
In my Grade Eight IsiZulu class, our set book was a novel set in the early 1800s. It was a fictionalised account of what the Iron Age existence of a tribe living in KwaZulu Natal would have been like – before the white man arrived in his ships; even before Shaka Zulu’s fearsome warriors began their raiding expeditions. It was a well-written book and within its pages I was transported back to those simple years when the greatest challenge of the day was finding a cave where iron ore could be mined from. But the book was horribly flawed in one respect. Click link for more..

Big Heads, Little Heads, And The Merits Of Wanking
20 May 2011 by Jasmine Stone / No Comments
Both Dominique Strauss-Kahn and Arnold Schwarzenegger are the latest in a long line of high profile men who have allowed the smaller of their two heads to gain the upper hand when making crucial decisions. Their fall is especially tragic when one considers the elegance of a simple solution. [Click link for more]

“I Was A Boy, I Didn’t Know Any Better” – The Definitive Luke Watson Interview
20 May 2011 by Jasmine Stone / No Comments
Former Stormers captain and controversial Springbok flank, Luke Watson, was interviewed by Rob van Vuuren and Martin Evans of 2oceansvibe Radio‘s Drive Time Robbery show earlier this week. In the candid interview, Watson ‘fesses up to the fault of his controversial remarks regarding the Springbok jersey, and the Afrikaans-dominated administration of South African rugby. Watson […]

Not Good Enough – It’s As Simple As Asking The Correct Question
16 May 2011 by Jasmine Stone / 11 Comments
Surely if you were paid to act as the TV match official to assist a referee controlling a rugby game, you would pride yourself on your capacity to communicate. You don’t have to run anywhere; you don’t have to blow anything and you don’t even have to get out of your pyjamas for the Lord’s sake. All you need do is watch the game and share an opinion if asked. Easier money than a Bangkok rub ‘n tug parlour operator. Click for more.

When A Bad Album Review Really Doesn’t Matter
16 May 2011 by Jasmine Stone / No Comments
It must have been on 29 April or thereabouts and I had decided to see what was happening in town with a friend of mine. Thinking that it was dubstep night, I suggested to my friend that we should go to Kitchener’s Carvery Bar in Braamfontein. We arrived there at around 23h00, only to discover that no, it wasn’t dubstep night, but rather live band night. Not to worry, I thought, it would take a really bad band to ruin Kitchener’s on any night.

Pondering The Stormers
13 May 2011 by Jasmine Stone / 4 Comments
What made the Stormers loss to the Crusaders at Newlands on Saturday most disappointing was the fact that the Cape Town boys played most of the rugby. And in the second half we had two golden opportunities to win the game but were let down by the little things. Click link for more.

Strength Of Will And The World’s Strongest Man
09 May 2011 by Jasmine Stone / No Comments
Has the human species made any noticeable progress since that first unknown person picked up a sharp instrument and made a mark on a rock? Are we any better than our barbaric ancestors? Are the iPad, satellite television and fuel-injected engines signs that we can rightfully look back with conceit at the gloomy depths from whence we came? By what measure should we gauge our history and achievements? What should our flagpole be?

The New Super Rugby Format – Do You See The Value?
05 May 2011 by Jasmine Stone / 1 Comment
I’ve been asked twenty times in the past month to explain the format of the Super Rugby knock out phases. It requires a PhD to fully understand. I first encountered it in Australian club rugby when I coached at Eastern Suburbs some eight years ago. This is the format they play under. It’s more egalitarian, and a fair go for more teams, mate. Typical Aussies. And let me tell you, we’ve been spared the full version (à la rugby league) where eight teams reach the “finals”, as they call it. And some teams get to lose a knock out fixture and continue on – go figure. Click for more..

Grow Up, Children
04 May 2011 by Jasmine Stone / No Comments
May 18 is coming up, which is a relief given that by that date South Africans will have endured 11 days of unbroken work without a public holiday. When is the ANC going to realize that if they want to keep the 25% unemployed happy, we need more holidays, not fewer. How are these people that have been failed so spectacularly by the government supposed to feel part of society when the rest of us are out working?

Curio-Shop Afro-Motif Music: Who Will Rid Us Of This Sad Sight?
02 May 2011 by Jasmine Stone / 6 Comments
To get to my mother’s desk I had to walk through a curio shop. It was one of those dreadfully cheesy African curio shops, with the carved wooden and stone animals, the beads and the bowls, like you find at any South African airport, the Moyo restaurants and the Durban beachfront. I have that exact same feeling (as if I’m back in that curio shop) when I come across certain music videos made by South African bands. What is with this new trend with our bands who think that by merely smearing white face paint across their videos it will make them mysterious and exotic?
