Our latest addition to the 2oceansVibe Boss Hall of Fame is quite the artistic lad. Using mostly his fingers, he paints stunning portraits in a record time. Video – viewed nearly seven million times in the last week on Youtube – after the jump!
Just to fill you in on who Tim Tebow is, he is God’s current gift to American Football. And I mean that in more ways than one. In particular, he is a highly-religious man and often thanks God in interviews for his performance as quarterback for the Denver Broncos. That is quite normal amongst successful public […]
What if there was a deodorant out there powerful enough to transform any ordinary guy into a man who smells like power? Wonder no more! Thanks to Old Spice, that day has come, together with a new mind-blowing ad campaign.
Once again, YouTube user barackdubs has come up with a winner! This time he places super cut video clip-grabs, featuring Barack Obama, over the backtrack of Lady Gaga’s Born this Way. In other words, it looks and sounds like Obama is actually singing the song. Video after the jump.
Teh Tarik (literally “pulled tea”) is a Malaysian tea beverage similar to what we know this side as iced tea. But somehow I doubt Lipton prepares theirs in the way this guy does. That’s why he is our latest addition to the 2oceansVibe Boss Hall of Fame.
Our latest addition to the 2oceansVibe Boss Hall of Fame is living proof that you shouldn’t ever pay for life’s necessities…such as beer. An effortless demeanor, a decent skirt and a pair of strong thighs will do the trick just fine.
A small city in southern Spain, Juzcar, was used as the film location for the The Smurfs film, and painted blue to fit the theme. Once shooting had wrapped up, Sony Pictures offered to repaint the place – except residents voted yesterday to keep the place Smurf-coloured.
As you know, yesterday the world lost a pretty decent dictator. Understandably Kim Jong-il’s nation has been struck down with grief, bordering on mass hysteria. Check out insane footage of North Koreans grieving as if their lives depend on it – after the jump.
Of course it wasn’t Nandos. It was Gary Johnston! I guess that’s just one less guest for dinner this weekend, hey Mr Mugabe?
2010’s Dinner For Shmucks introduced us all to the wonder of “mouseterpieces”, recreations of famous artworks using taxidermy mice. Now, it seems that not only is the practice of mounting rodents real, for one man it’s a flourishing business.
Comedian and prankster, Jimmy Kimmel recently urged parents to prank their children by giving them fake gifts for Christmas and then film the results with his “’I Gave My Kid A Terrible Present’ YouTube Challenge. Click through to see some of the children’s amazing reactions.
Well, not really. But North Korea has issued a stern threat to their southern neighbours, warning of “unexpected consequences” if South Korea initiates “psychological warfare” by lighting up any Christmas trees near the north/south border. As opposed to, you know, the actual warfare initiated by the north when they shelled one of the southern islands.
Steal Banksy from Art Series Hotels on Vimeo.
The Melbourne-based Art Series Hotel chain is holding an art-stealing competition, starting this Thursday. For the next month, a signed print of Banksy’s “No Ball Games,” worth ZAR 125 500, will be hidden in different locations throughout the chain’s hotels. If people can find and steal it without getting caught, they get to keep it.
Santacon is a thing that happens in San Francisco every year; people dress up as Santa Claus and get very drunk. Public nudity is also legal in SF. So it makes sense for this year’s Santacon to have been an attempt at setting a Guinness World Record for the largest gathering of naked Santas ever.
What you are about to see is a meticulous maneuver performed by our latest addition to the Boss Hall of Fame. Watch as he fits a car into a parking space that could only feasibly hold a vehicle half its size.
Almost exactly a month ago Modern Warfare 3 hit the shelves and gamers around the world lost their minds in anticipation of losing weeks of their lives to the latest edition of the highly-acclaimed shooter. Just before the launch, game-developer Activision released a comedic trailer featuring Sam Worthington (Avatar) and Jonah Hill (Superbad), and this is its equally epic follow-up.
What do you do with R240 000? You order yourself the Harley Davidson powered mini speed boat from St. Martin Mini Speed Boats, of course. As you’d expect, it comes complete with a Harley Davidson V-twin engine, and that authentic Harley sound. And then you hit the water like a boss.
There’s a Red Cross committee presently debating whether or not people playing war video games should be subject to the same humanitarian laws as people involved in real wars with real people and real weapons. So far as I can tell they’re doing this entirely seriously.
The crew of the Discovery Channel’s Mythbusters blasted a house in Dublin, California with a cannonball yesterday. I mean, not on purpose; they were trying to fire a homemade cannon at huge containers of water, because a canon’s ability to bust huge containers of water is a myth that needs busting, but they missed.
The comments section doesn’t lie, “just edges out sneezing panda for favorite video from youtube”. Click through, for a cultural mind-bang from the 1980s. [Thanks, Alain!]
Following a publicity stunt gone wrong, an Australian PR agency was left fumbling for words after dozens of media agencies received dead fish in the mail.
A few months ago comedian and actor, Will Ferrell approached the Pabst Brewing Company to ask if he could shoot a series of TV commercials for their Old Milwaukee beer, completely free of charge. These are the results, and they are amazing.
Regular readers and longtime citizens of Cape Town will be familiar with the Mill Street Engen garage, AKA “Club Orange”. A reader sent this photograph in this morning. Says Dean Delaney: Hey Seth, just wanted to share this little piece of brilliance with you. Stranger things have happened at the 24 hour Woolworths, I know, […]
Remember that Mavericks billboard over at Kloofnek Road? The one with the half-naked lady advertising some or other fragrance for men, that people have been getting a little upset about? Well it was subtly edited by some enterprising soul last night. Take a look at the billboard-bomb after the jump.
A new bit of legislation has just come into force in Hungary, in an attempt to deal with the large number of homeless people in Budapest. The regulation makes it a punishable offense to be homeless; the offense is punishable by a fine just under ZAR 5 000. Because, you know, that makes sense.
This picture was taken in Weltevreden Park, Johannesburg, earlier today. The events leading up to the picture being taken are not known, but I think it is safe to assume that the driver did not pass his or her K53 test.
In a discovery that seems more at home in the script of a B-grade crime drama series, it was alleged that drug lords in Miami’s Federal Detention Center were receiving visits from pole-dancers.
Nearly 10 000 people dressed up in zombie gore and wandered through Mexico City this weekend, in a bid to set the new world record for zombie walks, which is a thing. Once verified by Guinness, the walk will blaze past the previous record of 4 093 zombies, set in New Jersey last year.
Here’s a little Friday frivolity for you. Bloemfontein businessman, Chris Snyman shows the ticket he was issued with when a traffic cop flagged him down. Please note the offence: “Drove motor vehicle while driving”.
