Well hello there, movie trailer. You’re looking pretty fine. What’s that? You’re a trailer for The Hangover: Part II? Well I guess that’s pretty — and you’re the first full length trailer? Oh, you’re a tease. That’s what you are. I guess that pretty much takes care of the rest of my Friday.
Jerry Seinfeld has over 40 Porsches. Ralph Lauren has a taste for vintage. Jay Leno had a car built with a helicopter turbine engine. I’m fascinated by car collections because it’s pretty much exactly what I’m going to spend my money on when I make my billions. After all, you can’t take Penelope Cruz’s sister on a date in a rare Picasso.
I know it is the northern suburbs, behind the boerewors curtain, and all that. But wrong is still wrong. The picture to my left is part of an actual logo for a toyshop in Tygervalley Shopping Centre. Yes, your eyes are not deceiving you – that is an actual Golliwog you are looking at.
How many of you caught the story, posted earlier in the day, about a Cape Town advocate who swore at a Cape Town High Court judge, and stormed out of the court room? Look, in no way do we condone his behaviour. Insulting references to another man’s female relatives, most especially The Mother, should never […]
Yesterday a little blue bird forwarded us a juicy document. That document is the full transcript of proceedings in a criminal case currently being argued in the Cape Town High Court. The transcript details an altercation between Judge Lee Bozalek and Advocate Nehemiah Ballem. And by “altercation” I mean a verbal smackdown. Enjoy this portion of the exchange.
This was not a very difficult prediction to make, but I did kind of predict that this would happen. Our glorious rugby union has seen it fit to move the Springbok emblem off the front of the jersey, and have relegated it to the left sleeve for the World Cup. And today it has been unveiled for an already miserable South African public to see.
We are very pleased to announce that our latest 30-day stats reveal a landmark record of sorts – in the form of 100,000 unique readers (430,000 page impressions). That’s pretty radical stuff and continues the massive upward trend we have seen over the last year. Further confirmation of what we thought all along – that […]
Good news, ye trodden under masses of South Africa! ‘Anonymous’ has finally taken note of your plight and you can expect deliverance from your daily misery as soon as before the Rugby World Cup ends! So rise up and conquer, People! What are you waiting for?
Long-time readers will have noticed that 2oceansvibe has undergone significant changes over the course of the last year. All of the change has had one goal in mind: to bring you better content, every day – you know, stuff that people really talk about. To that end, we’re happy to announce that Sipho Hlongwane will […]
You’ll have seen from the numerous banners on the site that we’ve embarked on a campaign here at 2oceansvibe to liberate the people of Cape Town from the tyranny of Friday afternoon work hours. A critical development has arisen, ladies and gentlemen, and we invite you all to read on.
We wrote earlier in the day that The New Age had engaged in a small but embarrassing bout of mistaken identity, having posted a picture of world renowned fashion mogul, Karl Otto Lagerfeld, above a story regarding the appointment of one Karl Otto, esq., to one or other lofty position at the Maritime Authority of South Africa. Enjoy the update after the jump.
Don’t know if you caught The New Age‘s recent article about our new pirate tracking satellite service. It seems they believe that fashion designer extraordinaire, Karl Lagerfeld, is heading up the SA Maritime Safety Authority. Something I was unaware of. Follow the link for more.
Donald Trump running for the American presidency might sound like a bad idea to some – just like his haircut. Say what you will about his political ambitions, but I actually think Trump embodies the American ideal, which is perfectly encapsulated in this reminiscence of how he screwed one Muammar Gaddafi over in a property deal.
It was a matter of time before the wristwatch had its biggest redesign moment since the croc-like invasion of the big-faced bling disaster that took hold and made hipster fashion designers rich. Smart watches are on their way, but there’s one feature we’d include in ours, if we designed these things, which we don’t.
Hear ye, hear ye! Today is Friday. You know what that means. That means that we knock off at 12h00. Do you know why we knock off at 12h00? Because we’re not lying to ourselves. “I”M NOT LYING TO MYSELF.” You shouldn’t either. No one is working productively after 12h00 on a Friday afternoon. The […]
This is it – the footage from SKYNEWS that everyone is talking about – showing the most insane visuals of the tragic March 2011 earthquake in Japan. Starting with a solid wall of water out in the ocean, crashing into land and destroying everything in its path; visuals include entire villages getting flattened, aerial views […]
A lot of people said that it would be hard to top last year’s Vibe party – but that was obviously before we pulled out the little ace up our sleeve, in the form of The Grand Cafe And Beach who will be presenting this year’s Vibe party. And for those of you trying to […]
Popped into Giovanni’s last night to grab some snackaroos, following an epic evening at Cape Town’s Design Indaba (loved the MINI stand – which let’s you design your own MINI). So La Muse and I picked up some cold meats and salads, as you do, and headed to the counter to pay. Lo and behold, […]
After winning the award for best show in its category, you’d think M-Net would buy All Access a swish advertising billboard next to the N1, urging us all to watch this “award winning show!”. Instead rumours are surfacing that All Access and its demographically-flawed presenters might be cut.
Yesterday 2oceansvibe published a photo of what the ISS confirmed to be an armoured personnel carrier being loaded on to a vessel in the Cape Town Harbour, shown above. NCACC spokesperson, Tlali Tlali, has confirmed to 2oceansvibe that South Africa has sold arms to Libya. Click link for more..
Just yesterday a friend of mine who recently quit his job to live the holiday said this to me. “You know, it’s amazing, I actually have time to get things done now. I can actually complete admin tasks.” I knew what he was getting at. The majority of us are roped in to 9-5 jobs. […]
Witnessing U2 in concert was a big deal for a lot of people, but spotting Ryan Reynolds (in town shooting a film with Denzel Washington) at the concert may well have increased the blood pressure of a few young ladies! We managed to get hold of a few pics of Ryan Reynolds at Friday’s concert. […]
Adriaan Bergh has done the unthinkable, the unbelievable, the improbable, even. Adriaan Bergh has been crowned Mr South Africa, 2011. Can. You. Believe. It. Click through for the road to glory.
There was like so much drama (insert nasal whine) at the Joburg Fashion week. David Tlale’s finale on the Nelson Mandela Bridge started two hours late, which lead to many people leaving before it started, and several sad little schmodels. See, Derek Zoolander was right; life’s hard, even when you’re really, really, ridiculously good looking.
You’ll recall just last week we chatted about the atrocious conditions our Joburg friends are having to put up with as a result of what can only be described as the complete and utter mismanagement of local jozi municipal services. Well, finally they have heeded their consciences’ advice and done the right thing by charging their rogue sheriff.
I can’t believe it’s been a year since I last took my kit off for Marie Claire! And boy is this year’s issue an absolute corker – all in support of the SPCA! Not only will you see my fine mound, but I will be with the rest of the 2oceansvibe Radio crew – on a […]
In a touching display of celebrity-on-politician action, Bono delivered a bright red iPod to his new best friend, Jacob Zuma, at the presidential home in Genadendaal. Zuma looked visibly nervous at the specter that is Bono, so much so that he could barely manage to complete a sentence, and as one wasn’t written down for him, who could blame him.
By which I mean, Banksy has been hitting various billboards and street-corners in Los Angeles with culture-bending graffiti. As ever. I mean it’s a little weird that the anti-establishment dude has been promoting his Oscar nomination, but on the up-side, we get some pretty cool art out of it.
Would you cut your own arm off to save your life? That’s what it all boils down to in 127 Hours, an adventure-thriller and spirited drama starring James Franco and directed by Slumdog Millionaire’s Danny Boyle. The film is an adaptation of Between a Rock and a Hard Place, a biographical account of now famous […]
We take a break in our broadcasting to thank you, the 2oceansvibe readers out there, for making the last 30 days another record breaking month. 2oceansvibe enjoyed just under 70,000 unique readers and 330,000 page impressions for the last 30 days (according to Google Analytics).
