25 Aug 2011 by Jasmine Stone / No Comments
OK Go did a rendition of the theme song from The Muppet Show in their Green Album. Now they’ve made a video; it’s sort of like all of their other music videos, except it features Muppets. I don’t like suggesting that something going viral is a foregone conclusion, but this thing going viral is a foregone conclusion.

Brand association is important. We are well aware of that here at 2oceansVibe, and that’s why we’d never endorse or recommend anything we didn’t fully believe in. Clothing retailer Abercrombie and Fitch feels the same way and said it would offer a “substantial payment” to MTV’s The Jersey Shore’s cast members to stop wearing the brand on air.

The mother of 10-year-old Thylane Lena-Rose Blondeau is ok with the photo shoot which appeared in this month’s issue of French Vogue, depicting her pre-teen in some rather adult poses.

When two teachers entered Enock Sifundza’s home on Thursday morning to complain about his son’s behaviour at school, they probably didn’t expect to be held at gunpoint at beaten with a knobkerrie.

The future is officially nuts. It’s getting to a point where stuff like this probably won’t shock you anymore. It should. Be shocked.

What was obviously an awesome idea at the time, hasn’t ended up working out quite so well for two teenagers from Los Angeles. In the old days, one could probably get away with an old prank like this, but not with modern policing unfortunately.

28 Jul 2011 by Jasmine Stone / 7 Comments
Bigoted members of British society must be speedily wringing their hands and tensely furrowing their eyebrows in anger that this has happened.

Piers Morgan Might Have Been Fibbing About His Phone Hacking Knowledge
27 Jul 2011 by Jasmine Stone / 1 Comment
Piers Morgan might have been speaking nonsense when he made the modest claim that all he knew of phone hacking was that someone once told him that it was possible.

What Exactly Is ‘Phone Hacking?’
23 Jul 2011 by Seth Rotherham / 5 Comments
With this whole News International Rupert Murdoch Phone Hacking Scandal (NIRMPHS) taking over our lives, there seems to be a large misunderstanding in terms of what exactly ‘phone hacking’ is.
