We love a good mug shot here over at 2oceansvibe. Paris Hilton’s array still being amongst our favourites, admittedly, but this dude is rolling with quite a mesmerising vibe. Half a ‘fro actually. We’re sure there’ll be a couple of guys on the inside having a good laugh at his expense.

Long-time 2oceansvibe readers will be aware of our mild allergy to offensive cyclists – you know, the chaps who cruise in to cafes on Saturday morning, sweat gushing from their epidermis, balls cupped by spandex, which are at eye level as they walk in.

Julian Assange Applies ™ To His Name
01 Mar 2011 by Jasmine Stone / No Comments
Wikileaks founder Julian Assange, is attempting to trademark his name for use in “public speaking services” and “entertainment services.” Personally I’d exercise a little more energy on the whole ‘I’m being extradited to Sweden for charges of rape and sexual assault,’ thing, but maybe this is more important.
