Hillary Clinton Photoshopped Out Of ‘Situation Room’ Photo
10 May 2011 by Jasmine Stone / No Comments
Just like every other newspaper in the US, in recent days Brooklyn-based Hasidic newspaper Vos Iz Neias has published the ‘Situation Room’ photo of Barack Obama and his White House security team watching footage of the killing of Osama Bin Laden.

09 May 2011 by Jasmine Stone / No Comments
Reports over the weekend have claimed that UK journalist and newspaper Twitter feeds are possibly going to become regulated.

03 May 2011 by Jasmine Stone / No Comments
Despite a ban on traveling to the European Union for the last decade, Robert Mugabe once again found himself there this weekend. He attended the beatification of the late pope John Paul II. The experience clearly touched that (only to be confirmed by autopsy one day) heart of his and he said it was “fabulous, absolutely heavenly.” Fabulous? What straight man uses that word?

Tony Blair’s Tenure As Prime Minister “Rendered Completely Useless” – Sam Delaney Discusses The Royal Wedding
01 May 2011 by Seth Rotherham / No Comments
A lot of you will recognise Sam Delaney as the awfully funny guy that reads the newspaper headlines on SKY News with former 2oceansvibe guest, Charlotte Hawkins. I am not 100% sure on which exact day of the week Sam appears on SKY News, or whether his guest appearances are merely ad hoc, but when […]

Kulula In-Flight Magazine Feature
30 Apr 2011 by Seth Rotherham / No Comments
I’ll be honest, my friends and I have been practicing the climbing-out-of-the-pool-with-water-pouring-down-our-faces men’s fragrance commercial ripoff for quite some time. Now whilst GQ allowed a bit of indulgence, it was only when Kulula came to the party – allowing such ridiculousness – that the years of training finally paid off! Morne Van Zyl took the […]

28 Apr 2011 by Jasmine Stone / 2 Comments
Police had to step in yesterday when a group of ANC supporters attempted to stop a DA rally from taking place in the Mamelodi Township in Pretoria. This is just a blip on the South African political radar that will quickly be forgotten, but it gave me pause for thought.

Donald Trump Vents His Spleen On Vanity Fair
14 Apr 2011 by Jasmine Stone / No Comments
Donald Trump is many things. Once man’s tycoon is another’s cantankerous old curmudgeon. Our opinion of the man falls somewhere in between those two markers. Trump’s latest obsession is taking a permanent marker to negative press.

I was more than chuffed to see 2oceansvibe Weathergirl Gabriella Demetriades featured in the latest GQ Model Search. You’ll also remember Gabs from that steamy Woolworths re-jeans ad which did the rounds a while back. Good times.

07 Apr 2011 by Jasmine Stone / 1 Comment
Midway into March Silverstreak reminded us of one of the beautiful things about the English language – the numerous emotive properties created by combining words not often combined, especially so in central African news reports.

A report in The Star newspaper has revealed how a Teacher has had to resign because he was caught puffing on the old knowledge cabbage with a pupil.

Hippo Scares Grandfather And Grandson Up Tree
23 Mar 2011 by Jasmine Stone / No Comments
This will probably rate right up there with their worst ever experiences together as grandfather and grandson. It certainly wasn’t one of those happy days like you’d see on adverts or in the movies. Although, mind you, I suppose it did start out as an innocent canoe trip which was probably fun for a while.
