Add Your Voice To The Groundswell: Sign This Petition Against Friday Afternoon Work Hours
11 Mar 2011 by Seth Rotherham / 20 Comments
Gang, we’re facing a serious problem. It affects our daily happiness. It affects our ability to be effective human beings. I’m talking about the creeping, evil tendency for wolves among us to insist on work commitments on Friday afternoons. Or on Fridays at all. Don’t these people value life? Look, I’ve talked extensively about this […]

Just How Tight Are Zuma And Gadaffi?
10 Mar 2011 by Jasmine Stone / 2 Comments
Links between these two high rollers have been gossiped about and reported on before. It’s no big secret that shortly after his 2006 arrest on rape charges, JZ made a shimmy over to Tripoli for five days where he met with Colonel Gaddafi. Now JZ and the Colonel have had a little phone conversation.

Top management in our extremely effective police force were asked yesterday in Parliament how they happened to lose 20 429 weapons. Click through for facepalming disappointment.

Camel Milk: In Fridges Soon
09 Mar 2011 by Jasmine Stone / 1 Comment
That’s right, camel milk demand is on the up and the word is getting out. Demand from diabetic patients, parents of autistic children and sufferers of Crohn’s disease has resulted in them becoming their own powerful lobbyists. Internationally that is. So when will camel milk sail into the mainstream market here at home I wonder?

Justin Bieber Gets Killed on CSI With EPIC Visuals [VIDEO]
09 Mar 2011 by Jasmine Stone / 1 Comment
You’ve probably heard the news that Justin Bieber appeared on an episode of CSI. What they didn’t tell you is that he looks exactly like a lesbian who got punched in the eye after losing a game of pool, and that he gets killed by the CSI cops. We’ve got spectacular visuals for both – after the break.

Giorgio Armani Buys House In Camps Bay
08 Mar 2011 by Seth Rotherham / No Comments
Just picked up some news on SA’s leading fashion blog, PopYaCollar.co.za, that Giorgio Armani has bought a house in Camps Bay. I just love the way he rolls and cannot wait to join him for a Corona at Caprice! Apparently the house is on Ronald Road – PopYacollar has an aerial shot showing where it […]

Fish Farming Is Big Business
08 Mar 2011 by Jasmine Stone / No Comments
Perlemoen, in particular. I know a few chaps who used pull out the odd perly when we were younger. It was childish and naive at the time I thought, although I too engaged in other unrelated mischief of my own. Anyway, aquaculture has always fascinated me and the recession did it no favours. This however, might be the new oil.

Monday Morning Radvertising: Red Bull Street Art View
07 Mar 2011 by Jasmine Stone / No Comments
Brazilian ad agency Loducca has put together a collection of geo-tagged street art from Google Street View for Red Bull. The site is sweetly designed, with decent Cape Town representation. How exactly this is going to sell Red Bell any caffeinated beverages is beyond me, but whatever.

The Story Behind The “Bearded One”
07 Mar 2011 by Jasmine Stone / 2 Comments
If you, like me, weren’t able to get to a television for whatever reason this weekend, you may have tuned in and listened to the blokes on the couch on 2oceansvibe Radio and their alternative commentary. You may also have heard them speaking in awe about the cult-like properties of the “Bearded One”. Here is his story.

Take A Look At Old Spice: Behind The Scent [VIDEO]
04 Mar 2011 by Jasmine Stone / No Comments
I love Isaiah Mustafa. You love Isaiah Mustafa. But the honeymoon is over, Isaiah, and it’s only right that you show us a little more than your honey-glazed eyes or perfect teeth. Take us behind the curtain; show us how you make the magic happen, commercially.

Genevieve Morton In The US Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue
04 Mar 2011 by Seth Rotherham / No Comments
We’re so proud of the 2oceansvibe Weathergirls and the way they’re quietly destroying the globe with their beauty. Take for example our very first Weathergirl, Genevieve Morton, who finds herself in the pages of the US Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue! I was paging through the latest issue on my iPad (thanks Digicape) and got such […]

Best Judge Ever Writes Off A £20,000 Credit Card Debt
04 Mar 2011 by Jasmine Stone / No Comments
Most of us have been hounded by debt collectors at some point in our lives, but I doubt anyone has ever had their debt scrapped because of it. Yet a judge in Britain set aside a debt of over R200,000 in an effort to reprimand collectors for “torturing” their customer.

Google Earth A Revolutionary Tool – The Photos That Sparked Protests in Bahrain
03 Mar 2011 by Jasmine Stone / No Comments
In the age of information, nothing can be kept in the dark anymore. These are the so called controversial Google Earth photos that initially set off Bahraini protests of inequality back in 2006. And when you see them, you’ll know why.

The “Manyi” Bill, Let’s Crunch Those Numbers
03 Mar 2011 by Jasmine Stone / 1 Comment
Oh, you didn’t know that cabinet has already approved this little racial nugget? Well, basically it’s just waiting for a few more signatures now before it forces change upon us. According to the SA Institute of Race Relations, who kindly did crunch the numbers for everyone, a lot of job loss and not much job creation is in order.

This Week In Racism (A Summary)
03 Mar 2011 by Jasmine Stone / No Comments
Racist fisticuffs are breaking out everywhere like the pimples on a young man’s greasy teenage skin. If it wasn’t enough when Kuli had a go at the coloureds, now the big guns have greased up their bodies with baby oil and are basically free wrestling with each other in the media.

Kuli Roberts To Make Public Apology This Evening
03 Mar 2011 by Jasmine Stone / 2 Comments
This has not been a great couple of days for Kuli Roberts. Apart from calls for her public lynching, and curses placed on her mother’s private parts, she has also lost her weekly newspaper column. But she is expected to make a public apology on her TV show, Headline, this evening – details and time inside.

How To Back Up Your Gmail Account
02 Mar 2011 by Jasmine Stone / No Comments
Try this old chestnut on for size: prevention is better than cure. It is also said that hindsight is 20/20. Some Gmail users will be experiencing the emotional mechanics of these two philosophical musings after the online email giant “lost” the entire contents of 148 000 user accounts earlier in the week. We thought we’d share a little advice.

Clifton Shores – More Insight
02 Mar 2011 by Seth Rotherham / 10 Comments
So we’ve managed to get extra info on this Clifton Shores project and it looks like (thankfully) the promo that was spotted online was shot over 17 months ago and was supposed to be seen as a call for castings when the show was casting over a year ago. I’m told that the current show […]

Aussie ATMs Payout Mini Jackpots For A Day
02 Mar 2011 by Jasmine Stone / No Comments
A computer glitch has been held responsible for the poker machine-like behaviour a number of Australian Commonwealth Bank ATMs displayed yesterday. Sydney saw queues of up to 50 people assembling to have a go at the machines. This obviously attracted a police presence because many simply couldn’t contain themselves.

Anonymous’ Hack Scandal Forces Head of HBGary’s Resignation
02 Mar 2011 by Jasmine Stone / No Comments
Anonymous, the online sort-of-anarchic sort-of-activist group, forced Aaron Barr, head of HBGary Federal, the massive American tech security company, to resign. Which is sort of a huge deal in the way that Charlie Sheen isn’t. Even though I love everything that Charlie Sheen touches.

Kidney Transplant Scam, Criminal Case Gaining Momentum
01 Mar 2011 by Jasmine Stone / 2 Comments
South Africa’s very own surgery tourism trade has boomed for a while. We’ve been well-known as a great destination for the industry because we’re inexpensive. Now the smoke around the kidney transplant scam has finally begun to bellow. Over the weekend Netcare decided it was no longer going to comment on the scandal.

Clifton Dictator Orders $380 Million Yacht
01 Mar 2011 by Seth Rotherham / 3 Comments
Teodorin Obiang, the 41-year-old son of Equatorial Guinea’s dictator, who has in the past done business in Clifton with local real estate agent, Denise Dogon, has commissioned the building of a luxury superyacht for himself worth $380 million – three times more than his country spends annually on health and education. The suspicion is that […]

Zuma’s R200 Million Renovations
01 Mar 2011 by Jasmine Stone / 2 Comments
With mainstream local media finding itself plenty to keep busy with over the last few days, a nice little presidential renovation story slipped past almost unnoticed. The top dog is obviously sprucing things up rather nicely at home because it’s costing close to R200 million.

The Elusive ‘Clifton Shores’ Promo Trailer

There has been a lot of talk around town about this new MTV reality show they’re filming, called Clifton Shores – and, in particular, the promotional trailer. The trailer was available on YouTube for some time and we received emails confirming that it had vanished. Not to fear, we’ve managed to locate it. Follow the […]

Port Elizabeth Pool Water Selling On The Black Market
28 Feb 2011 by Jasmine Stone / No Comments
It’s no secret that the Eastern Cape is suffering from one of the most devastating droughts in recent times. Jacki Bilsbury from the Walmer area had a laugh when she read a local newspaper article about pool water theft. She’s not laughing now.

Imprinted Thighs: This Is Probably Monday Morning Badvertising
28 Feb 2011 by Jasmine Stone / No Comments
A couple of benches in New Zealand were altered to imprint advertising for Superette short shorts on the back of people’s thighs. This is creepy on a couple of levels, but I’m mostly curious as to how somebody could get the back of their thighs stamped with words and not notice.

MK Awards 2011: The Good, The Bad, And The Winners
28 Feb 2011 by Jasmine Stone / 2 Comments
Hundreds of skinny jeans walked around the CTICC on Saturday evening for the MK Awards – a first for Cape Town. But not everyone who attended thought it was awesome. Quote of the week: “Somewhere Jack Parow cannot be thinking that this mess was quite piele.”
