Solid Gold – Banksy Does The Simpsons
11 Oct 2010 by Jasmine Stone / No Comments
Famed and cultishly-revered British street artist, Banksy, has struck gold. He story-boarded and animated the intro for this Simpsons episode, and it is appropriately entertaining. What a lot of people don’t know, though, is that he used the 2oceansvibe HQ as a real-world inspiration for some of the intro scenes. Guess which ones. [VIDEO]

Parents, You Can Be Like Eminem, Too
11 Oct 2010 by Jasmine Stone / No Comments
A lot of parents are envious of the number of times Eminem manages to drop the name of his daughter, Hayley into his albums. In fact, it would be downright touching if her name wasn’t drowned in a malaise of expletives, narcotics, posturing and petty felonies. Well your kids can feel like Hayley as well, without the inconvenience of familial dysfunction.

Just Look At This Video Of Kids Tripping Out
11 Oct 2010 by Jasmine Stone / 1 Comment
Just look at it. Kids, music, drugs, concerned parents, American news networks, middle America – it’s all there. This report cries foul on i-dosing (not an Apple product), whereby ne’er-do-well teenagers whittle away their misspent youth getting high on binural frequencies. I’m calling BS on this one. [VIDEO]

11 Oct 2010 by Jasmine Stone / 2 Comments
A little over 52 years ago, a young, unknown magazine intern in New York sat down, drank himself into a “frenzy of drink” and wrote the greatest application letter in history. His name was Hunter S. Thompson.

ASA Tells Cell C To Stop Lying. Cell C Says No.
08 Oct 2010 by Jasmine Stone / 20 Comments
Cell C’s highly publicised poor coverage can finally be explained. It appears that there is a toxic, root-and-branch misunderstanding of the fundamentals of cellular telephone technology within the company.

Die Antwoord Releases “Evil Boy”
07 Oct 2010 by Jasmine Stone / 4 Comments
Die Antwoord have released their latest music vid on the interwebs, as they’re prone to. They’re pushing the usual Die Antwoord boundaries with copious bad haircuts, gold teeth, permanent markers, penises, tokoloshes, and handcuffs.
Oh yeah, probably NSFW, but in a comical, ridiculous, “is that a huge wooden knob?” kind of way [VIDEO].

Ballmer: Now With Added Fail
06 Oct 2010 by Jasmine Stone / No Comments
Corporate deception, along with the recent catastrophic failure of the Kin, his massive bonus penalties for sizeable losses in the mobile market and in particular, this Youtube video, make watching Steve Ballmer fail in the web browser market, traditionally one of Microsoft’s strongest fronts, all the more delicious.

Mara Louw Admits Being Drunk On Air
06 Oct 2010 by Jasmine Stone / 1 Comment
Monday evening’s episode of Idols SA was the standard mix of tepid content, low production values, and a small group of talented vocalists vainly struggling against a tide of disinterested public, average backing tracks, and of course, inebriated judges.

Yes, Advertising To Kids Is Important
04 Oct 2010 by Jasmine Stone / No Comments
Marmite, Mrs Balls Chutney, Iron Brew, and Tropica. These are the flavours of my childhood, and every now and then, a craving hits, and the inevitable binge ensues. I know, I disgust myself. Happily, I’ve been vindicated by science. Get a child hooked on your product in their formative years, and you’ve got them for life.

ION USB LP Turntable – Crackle Your Way To Nostalgia
01 Oct 2010 by Jasmine Stone / 1 Comment
I’ve been accused of choosing form over substance in my time. Vacillating between the timeless elegance of a 1960s Porsche Speedster over a 2009 Audi being the most recent example. While it didn’t, the timeless very nearly usurped the practical. (Implicit in this is that I couldn’t get both, which is a topic for another day.)

WHEN BIKER MAGAZINES WERE TOUGH
16 Sep 2010 by Jasmine Stone / No Comments
When it broke onto news agents’ racks in the 1970s, everyone knew that “Easyriders” was reading material for tough guys. Furthermore, you knew that those guys probably had beards, leather jackets, and a primal love for their mothers. But the headlines on the covers themselves left absolutely no doubt.

STRIKING – A LESSON IN DANCING
09 Sep 2010 by Jasmine Stone / No Comments
The recent four week-long public servant strike taught us two things. Firstly, government is tight with its money, and not in the “tight-thrifty” way. Secondly, and more importantly, we’re a nation of dancers. Truly, you can say what you like about who has the moral high ground in this dog show, but you absolutely cannot […]
