I did the right thing and got the new iPhone 3Gs from www.digicape.co.za. Look I’ll be honest, it’s fucking amazing. Then, do you know what I did with it this morning? I’ll tell you what I did with it this morning.. I used this beast of a phone and I shot a video of the […]
The cries from the 2oceansvibers out there who missed the 2oceansvibe feature on SA’s number one TV magazine show, Top Billing, were overwhelming. I knew I had to SOMEHOW get it onto the web for you to see! Just to run you through the process – I recorded the show on my PVR decoder at […]
Cape Town band, Brothers Streep who are friends of some of the 2oceansvibers out there were on Graham Norton’s BBC TV show. They (Brother’s Streep) are big fans of oscar winner and star of The Piano, Anna Paquin, who happened a guest on Graham’s show. Anna Paquin THEN As “Flora” in The Piano Anna […]
It certainly has crossed my mind and I know it has your. Don’t lie to me. It’s the same intrigue and fascination that hovered in my mind as a child, about red-head kids and their nether regions – before all was finally revealed in the Founder House boarding school showers. And who better to do […]
Regular readers will know that there has been all sorts of Top Billing activity over the past week or so. Their crew joined us on the day that we shot the 2oceansvibe Show last week with Goldfish, and they filmed some behind-the-scenes stuff for the weekly TV magazine show, Top Billing. And it’s coming out […]
You might want to check out this site. They display pics of man-made solutions to technical problems in and around the house. Usually things that they could buy, but they are either obsessed with DIY or prefer to save money and do it themselves. Ie. Marcus Brain (The Kitesurfer) to a tee. Virtually all of […]
Old Dezza really does crack me up from time to time. I wasn’t quite sure what mine ears were telling me last night. So I pressed re-wind on the PVR and, true as God, he DID say what I thought he said! Check it out – pretty damn funny! If that didn’t raise a smile, […]
A few weeks back I did a story on the three ELLE Magazine covers that were sent to me, after I visited the Vanessa Haywood cover shoot in Cape Town. They wanted my opinion on which one I thought was the best. Naturally, I took this one step further and asked 2oceansvibe what YOU thought. […]
I’m *cough* sure this website has all the right intensions but, honestly, from where I’m sitting it looks tailor made for middle-age affairs and mid-life crises (yes, that is how you spell the plural of “crisis”). Time for an upgrade? Pop on down to sugarcupid.com! The website goes for this vibe – and I quote: […]
I’m not 100% sure if this is for public consumption, but I’m gonna roll with it anyway. I mean really, MY inbox is YOUR inbox right? You remember the other day I swung by the ELLE Magazine cover shoot with District 9 star, Vanessa Haywood? You may have even caught the video of me and […]
Well the gloves are well and truly off. Not to be outdone by Mail & Guardian’s use of the uncensored word “fuck” in a recent article (this, not long after News24, without any censoring whatsoever, published the words “cocksucker,” “fuck,” and “cunt” in the same article (hey, I’m just quoting here)), Media24 have stepped things […]
2oceansvibe applauds Mail & Guardian, who are just a step behind News24, as they openly publish (without any censoring) the word “fuck.” A proud day for traditional South African media! I say “a step behind,” because News24 have already proven to be more than liberal in their application of the English language – recently publishing […]
Pot calling the kettle awesome Dan Brown’s new book, The Lost Symbol (yawn), faces its toughest critic yet: Michael Baigent, the historian who accused Brown of lifting his material in The Da Vinci Code (and lost in court). Baigent’s verdict: It’s bloody awful. [thedailybeast] Malema pleads ignorance – ANC Youth League leader Julia Malema […]
We cover quite a diverse range of issues, here at 2oceansvibe Media. Not least of which is the beaten-dog acceptance of our local traditional media. Traditional media run by imbeciles who can’t see the light for the piles of money they’re paying themselves, as they wade through the pools of blood, forming as a result […]
There’s something very special about logging into News24.com and finding yourself confronted with the leading story shown below: The “Penis Killers” were fired.. They say it in a way that suggests you should know about these characters. In a way that suggests everyone is talking, quite frankly, about the “Penis Killers.” Can you imagine the […]
We are QUITE the authority on a number of things these days, I should tell you. Oh yes, I am now a “branding expert” [makes “inverted commas” signs with fingers above head] of sorts. It’s true – look! CLICK HERE for GottaQuirk interview with Katharina Scholtz Pretty rad interview I had that day […]
In a move which has astounded the world of traditional media and saluted the world of digital media and technology in general, an off-the-record statement about rapper Kanye West, made by American president (and very close friend of mine), Barack Obama, was released on Twitter and circulated the globe within seconds; reaching YOU – right […]
I am still ASTOUNDED when I ask people if they’ve watched District 9 and they reply in the negative. “Is it good?” they ask. Is it good? IS IT GOOD? Heh….umm did you miss the fact that it’s virtually 100% South African and it’s one of the best selling movies on the planet at the […]

Seth caught up with Vanessa at her ELLE Magazine cover shoot in Cape Town today. Wait for video to load and check it out: *Slow connections should wait for the box […]
Everyone’s trying to keep it a secret, but it’s pretty difficult to hide the fact that Vanessa Haywood, the star of the biggest movie in the world at the moment, District 9, is in Cape Town. Why is she in Cape Town? Oh…just to quietly shoot the cover of SA Elle Magazine! Now we’re talking! […]
Well, I tell you what, it’s a BIG moment for South African media. While 2oceansvibe isn’t shy to throw around the odd “shit” here and the odd “fuck” there, I don’t think we have thrown around the “C” word for a number of years. News24, have obviously decided to up the ante by happily publishing […]

Ok, look, I’m probably completely overdoing it I just wanted to show you how big MY issue of the YOU Magazine is going. The likes of the BBC and Daily Mail are writing about it nearly every day. They are very focused on the cover story to do with the make-over given to SA gender-row […]
It goes without saying that the 10 September YOU Magazine issue which featured yours truly (on page 130) is causing absolute mayhem overseas. No, no, not because of me, but rather the fact that it features Caster Semenya. YOU Magazine decided to gave her a make-over, after the controversy surrounding her gender. This, from the […]

Traditional media is under the spotlight again today. This, not long after our recent article discussing local traditional advertising agencies and their thirst for awards vs. actually getting their client’s message out and connecting with consumers (here). A large number of you would have first read about Brandon Huntley, the 31 year old white man […]
So Marie Claire magazine ran a story (current issue) on shocking fashion and advertising images. The ad agency, NETWORK BBDO, got excited and pitched an idea to Marie Claire – an ad for Marie Claire on that very same topic. Marie Claire rejected the idea as it didn’t suit their brand. BBDO loved it regardless […]
