ANOTHER WORD FOR TWITTER IS “KARMA”
07 Sep 2010 by Jasmine Stone / No Comments
The legendary fail-whale When you happen to be an Australian Olympic gold medalist swimmer sponsored by an elite care brand, it’s probably not a good idea to talk trash on Twitter. If you’re a naturalised English sportsman that’s suffered a run of poor form in recent times and have since been cut from the national […]

CLIFTON: 1, CAMPS BAY: 0
06 Sep 2010 by Jasmine Stone / 2 Comments
RetailEstateWeb just released the results of its annual property value survey, with some fairly interesting results. For a start, it’s obvious that The Fairest Remains just that, with seven out of the nations ten most valuable suburbs. Not shabby, hey? Perhaps I’m new to the property game, but my question is: Is a pad in […]

WIKILEAKS GOES UNDERGROUND
03 Sep 2010 by Jasmine Stone / No Comments
In case you haven’t heard, everyone hates Julian Assange. And more to the point, everyone hates WikiLeaks in general. And by “everyone”, I of course mean people with secrets to keep. Namely governments and multinational corporations. Now that’s absolutely no reflection on the merit of WikiLeak’s work, and the job that they fulfill of making […]

02 Sep 2010 by Jasmine Stone / No Comments
US news wires were buzzing this morning with news that a hostage situation was unfolding at the Discovery Channel headquarters in Montgomery County, USA. This, from the Associated Press: James Lee, 43, a gunman with what police described as “concerns” with the Discovery Channel networks took at least one person hostage in the company’s Silver […]

HITLER IS NOT IMPRESSED WITH THE 2010 SA BLOG AWARDS
02 Sep 2010 by Seth Rotherham / No Comments
Hahaha! This is pretty funny – sent in by all sorts of people and has clearly becoming a bit of a hit on Twitter and other “social medias.” Well done to thatmandie, who posted it on YouTube. “Hitler is disgusted to find out that his blog did not crack enough nominations for the 2010 SA […]

TEN TIPS FOR THE CHILEAN MINERS
01 Sep 2010 by Jasmine Stone / 2 Comments
It’s Spring Day. Wonderful, isn’t it? Sure, depending on where you are in the Southern Hemisphere, the weather might not be very Spring-like. But such is life, and the meteorological musings of our planet. The good news is that the days are getting longer, the sun is shining more regularly, animals are copulating left, right […]

THE INSPIRATIONAL FOOTBALL SPEECH, OZZY STYLE
30 Aug 2010 by Jasmine Stone / No Comments
There’s a cess-pit of bad football films out there. Of course, the discerning viewer will recognise that Any Given Sunday rises above the sentiment and excrement that makes up 90% of the movies in this drama. It’s a great film. There’s plenty of old-school Pacino filth and grit in there. And there’s that one, iridescent […]

VLADIMIR PUTIN: STATESMAN, HUNTER, METHOD ACTOR
30 Aug 2010 by Jasmine Stone / 1 Comment
Similar, much? 2oceansvibe was abuzz in Friday afternoon with news that Russian statesman, Vladimir Putin, had cross-bowed a whale. But we thought it was worth the time to point out, on record, that Putin only spends part of his time shooting sea behemoths from rubber dingies, swimming in frozen Siberian lakes, hunting Brown Bears with […]

JAMES BOND, ON KETAMINE
24 Aug 2010 by Jasmine Stone / 1 Comment
James: Doesn’t take hints well Every now and then Bond movies get a little bit carried away with themselves, and throw the baby out with the bath water. The baby would be logic, and the bath water would be narrative. Remember Quantum of Solace? Or the airport scene from Live and Let Die? Remember any […]

THE MAFIA SENDS SECRET MESSAGES THROUGH THE GOGGLE BOX
23 Aug 2010 by Jasmine Stone / No Comments
The Guardian reports that an Italian soccer show, Quelli Che il Calcio (of course), has been used as a communications hub by the Mafia to communicate with the Men of Respect doing hard time in the chookie. You know those shows where illiterate viewers text in with their cell phones, and the show scrolls the […]

IN RESPONSE TO THE RECENT FIN24 ARTICLE
23 Aug 2010 by Seth Rotherham / 4 Comments
Judging my the number of emails I received, it seems that quite a number of you caught the FIN24 article about playing overseas lotteries and their legalities, here in South Africa. They featured a quote by me (lifted from a previous article I wrote, I assume), which confirmed that each and every 2oceansvibe Lottos winner […]

PIMPS ‘N HOS, GUNS ‘N MONEY
19 Aug 2010 by Jasmine Stone / No Comments
Being a rapper is good for business. Or rather, “bidness, yo”. So much so that Forbes has compiled a list of the top ten highest-grossing rap artists of the last year, subtly titled “Hip Hop Cash Kings” And it goes somethin’ a little like THIS, fool.

RICHIE McCAW DIVORCES OS DU RANDT
18 Aug 2010 by Jasmine Stone / 1 Comment
Online encyclopedia and paragon of humankind’s collective knowledge, WikiPedia, has proven it’s unbridled accuracy once again. Remember the story about WikiPedia referring to Sepp Blatter as a dickhead? And how the South African presidency made the fatal error of pulling that corrupted biographical info from WikiPedia and pasted it on their site? Well, we hope […]

JUSTIN BIEBER NOW ACTIVELY RUINING LIVES IN SLO-MO
18 Aug 2010 by Jasmine Stone / 1 Comment
The greatest Canadian scourge since Brandon Huntley Celine Dion, Justin Bieber stirs grown men to panic. The vapid, androgynous, lesbo-chic music has taken the pubescent world by storm, and the boy girl with the pudding bowl kop chop seems to wield genuine power. As demonstrated by his latest foray into social networking, where he tweeted […]

HOW TO AVOID TORTURING THE ENGLISH LANGUAGE
16 Aug 2010 by Jasmine Stone / 2 Comments
Are you a business executive? Do you find yourself tempted to remain at work until the wee hours of the morning, churning out directional missives, illuminating memos and pep-rousing employee bulletins? You may be adding too much douche to your vocab. Not sure? Test yourself. Do you, or have you ever used one of these […]

“THE OFFICE” BRING GLORIOUS REVOLUTION HAPPY SMILES TO CHINA
16 Aug 2010 by Jasmine Stone / No Comments
Ricky Gervais has announced via his blog that he’s working on an installment of The Office for China, in addition to the Israely, German, Canadian, and French and American versions already in existence. I’m not so sure an obscure, culturally-based sitcom will work in China, especially considering that their gold standard for comedy usually goes […]

ENTREPRENEURSHIP: QUITE BENEFICIAL IF YOU’RE THE PRESIDENT’S SON
13 Aug 2010 by Jasmine Stone / 5 Comments
I’m just going to put this out there. If your father has political ambitions of the presidential kind, don’t be short sighted and follow him into the vote-collecting game. Go into mine management. It can be very, very lucrative. Ask Duduzane Zuma. But be sure to make an appointment. He may be very busy cuddling […]

RUPERT MURDOCH AND KULULA ON A LEGAL COLLISION COURSE
12 Aug 2010 by Jasmine Stone / 3 Comments
You may have read on this morning’s spice that Rupert Murdoch has laid claim to the “Sky” in “Skype”, right after Skype announced its plans to float on the Nasdaq stock exchange in New York. The world’s most deliciously-evil media magnate has justified his claim by arguing that NewsCorp derivative BSkyB was established before Skype, […]

THEY START THEM YOUNG IN PRETORIA
11 Aug 2010 by Jasmine Stone / 15 Comments
In this crazy, crazy world of hyper-consumption, brands are putting a lot of emphasis on consumer loyalty. And the best way to nail down consumer loyalty? Get to your consumer before anyone else does. We all know that the combination of Klipdrift brandy and Coke is quite a big deal north of the Vaal. If […]

TOP GEAR USA: NOT RIGHT
10 Aug 2010 by Jasmine Stone / 6 Comments
If the original Top Gear is sex, then Top Gear USA is sex with a dead person. Mechanically speaking, you’re doing the same thing, but it’s wrong, and you should never, ever do it, and society will hate you for it, and you’ll always be remembered as the guy who took something fundamentally awesome and […]

NANDOS CANADA BRAND POSITIONING – QUITE CLOSE TO THE BUTTOCKS
10 Aug 2010 by Jasmine Stone / 5 Comments
Let me blow your mind: Nandos is in Canada. And no, Brandon Huntley didn’t franchise it. Shocking news, ey? I mean, Nandos must surely be as quintessentially South African as KFC, what with it’s Portuguese name, recipes and store decor. Nevertheless, the great chicken company in the sky is downright universal, making an appearance across […]

THE BOSS EVERY BOSS WISHES THEY COULD BE
06 Aug 2010 by Jasmine Stone / No Comments
If you’re in an executive position (as most of you LSM 12-14 vibers will be), then this is the kind of boss that you should aspire to be. Clearly, this man has been taking management lessons from one Seth Rotherham, esq. I mean, look at this company memo. Solid gold leadership, ey? There’s oh so […]

GORDON EFFING RAMSAY IS GETTING EFFING LITIGATED
05 Aug 2010 by Jasmine Stone / No Comments
So we wrote recently about Gordon Ramsay making an ever so slightly unceremonious exit from Cape Town, and specifically, the One & Only hotel. Needless to say, The Big Bad Potty Mouth and his cronies are slightly upset about this. I mean, it must leave a little bit of a sting to be tossed out […]

THE LANDLORD, FROM HELL
04 Aug 2010 by Jasmine Stone / 3 Comments
Many of us have been in this situation, mostly in our younger years of irresponsibility and fiscal-hedonism. Sometimes, usually around five days into the month, there would be a chilling knock on the door. Instantly, your heart shifts the primary location of its beating from your chest to your stomach. The landlord is at the […]
