McHugeLarge Beach Video – Hysterical!
13 Dec 2010 by Seth Rotherham / No Comments
If you haven’t seen this hysterical ‘McHugeLarge’ beach video doing the rounds, I strongly suggest you press play (above). It’s got all the elements that make a great video – hot women, a geek, beach, sea, sand and a dwarf. What’s more, the geek gets punished at the end. Looks like it was filmed at […]

Brendan Venter Is A Genius
13 Dec 2010 by Jasmine Stone / 10 Comments
This is teetering on a hellish crossroads of genius, insanity, chemically-altered states of being, and too many concussions in the space of one life time. Brendan, what are you doing? What’s your secret? How? Why? As you’ll see from this video, these are all very good questions. Very good, very good, good questions.

News24, Is This Entirely Necessary?
09 Dec 2010 by Jasmine Stone / 1 Comment
The face of news is changing on a daily basis. It really has to. For as long as people have communicated, the basic premise of news has been one person asking another, “Tell me something new and interesting.” One person’s “new and interesting” may not be another’s news. News24 is very aware of this fact.

Album Review: “Brothers” By The Black Keys
06 Dec 2010 by Jasmine Stone / 2 Comments
The thing about music, or any art form, or anything that human beings do for that matter, from inventing something to being nice to strangers, is that it has an effect on the quality of our lives. If someone does something brilliant, like ending world poverty, or serving a beer at the perfect temperature, they are in some way making the world a better place.
If you were a hippy, you could put it down to simply putting out good vibes. On the other hand, you could get more specific and say that by doing something excellent, you are furthering the cause of humanity by adding quality to lives and in turn inspiring people to also do something excellent.
This is why bad music should not be taken lightly. If we let people get away with it, then other people may start believing that it’s okay to have zero talent and not bother trying to do excellent things. If we don’t watch ourselves, the standards of the world will drop even lower than they already are and we will start devolving – that’s right, I’m talking about humans getting stupider and the world going backwards. Are you listening Paris? Any more flirtations with music (or any form of entertainment for that matter) will be dealt with in a zero-tolerance manner. Not quite sure what “zero-tolerance” implies exactly. Murder is clearly over the top. Any suggestions are welcome. Confiscate her Bentley? Something unbearable.
The Black Keys are the kind of band whose existence makes the world a better place. They are influenced by Hendrix, The Doors and Led Zeppelin, as well as the original Chicago bluesmen like Muddy Waters and Howlin’ Wolf and the old time delta bluesmen like Robert Johnson and Lightnin’ Hopkins. All of these musicians shaped modern music in some way. They all attempted do something magical and thankfully they all had the God given talent to pull it off.
This is the Black Keys’ sixth album. They’re the kind of band that many people are glad to have around, but this hasn’t necessarily translated into cementing them into our collective conscience in the same way, say, The White Stripes have been. Some people compare the two and say The Black Keys wouldn’t exist without The White Stripes, but the fact is they’ve been around for just as long and it’s clear they would be making their music whether their counterparts existed or not.

Qatar’s Stadium Plans Are Mind-Blowing.
03 Dec 2010 by Jasmine Stone / 3 Comments
If you read between all the English dejection after they were foiled by Fifa for the second time in 2010, you’d have noticed that Qatar was cockahoop that they’d won the rights to host the World Cup in 2022. The proof is in the pudding: these guys have plans to create the most irie stadiums ever. Think Cape Town’s is awesome? Check these badboys out.

Stodels Selling Ass Succulents
03 Dec 2010 by Seth Rotherham / No Comments
With the Ass Flavour and Ass Food explosion experienced over the past year or so, it was only a matter of time before people would want to grow some ass at home. It would be dangerous to use your own ass to create different foods and drinks, so a big round of applause goes to Stodels nurseries who have stepped up to the plate.

The 2011 L’Ormarins Queen’s Plate Horse Race
01 Dec 2010 by Seth Rotherham / 3 Comments
It was just the other day that someone sent out a tweet, asking the difference between the L’Ormarins Queen’s Plate and another event involving horses. I scoffed at the notion, adding that it was akin to comparing chalk and cheese. But not just any cheese – I was referring to a rich blue stilton cheese […]

Another Candid KP Tweet
01 Dec 2010 by Jasmine Stone / 3 Comments
I love Twitter. You know why? Because some sportsmen and women speak their minds instead of regurgitating cliche’s from the “Sportsmen and Women’s Book of Hackneyed Ways to Respond to Interviews”. KP once referred to the ECB as a bunch of muppets in a tweet. Now he is having a go at the Adelaide groundsmen ahead of Friday’s second Ashes test.

How Does Shazam Work?
30 Nov 2010 by Seth Rotherham / No Comments
Many of you will be aware of the mobile application called Shazam, which allows your phone to identify nearly any song playing in close vicinity. Incredibly, we often get into deep chats about how Shazam works, never actually doing the obvious and asking Google. That’s why I’ve finally gone and done it – I’ve found […]

The Best Thing About Wikileaks: Putin and Berlusconi’s ‘Bromance’

So a bunch of new information came to light with the recent Wikileaks release, blah blah everybody’s a spy, they’re planning on reunifying Korea, the U.S.is failing to prevent Syria arming Hezbollah, big deal. But apparently Russia’s badass PM Vladimir Putin and Italy’s pimp-daddy PM Silvio Berlusconi are fist-pumping bros!

The Ashes Twitter Confusion
29 Nov 2010 by Jasmine Stone / 2 Comments
An American woman has unwittingly become the talk of the town on Twitter. Or should I say, the talk of thousands of Ashes followers. Of course we all know that the Ashes pits Australia against England in a 5-test match series; unfortunately this poor woman doesn’t even know what a wicket is. Tweedicament.

Nando’s Punishes Cell C With 5G Chicken
27 Nov 2010 by Seth Rotherham / 2 Comments
Nando’s have taken things to the next level this time, with the appointment of their new “CEO.” His name is Kagiso and the whole ad rips off every ounce of the Trevor Noah Cell C ads. They mention 5G (rather than Cell C’s claimed 4G) and they even play with the Cell C ‘logo’ at the end. Full marks!

24 Nov 2010 by Jasmine Stone / 3 Comments
Hearken, The Cape Town Festival of Beer approaches. A lot of people have asked, does Cape Town really need another beer festival? We’d like to point out that what Cape Town is getting is a Festival of Beer, not a beer festival. What’s the difference? The former is sophisticated and fun. The latter never is. Now, would a certain 2oceansviber like a 2oceansvibe Festival of Beer special? You would? Click through for details.

45% Off At V&A Puma On Tuesday 23rd!
18 Nov 2010 by Seth Rotherham / No Comments
One of the advantages of being in the Puma ‘stable’ is they do sometimes make the mistake of letting me invite my friends to shop for nearly half price. But they forget that this would include 60,000 2oceansvibers out there, like yourself. So, that said, move your ass and email 2oceansvibe@puma.co.za with your name and […]

Our Dear Leader – Now In HD (Finally)
15 Nov 2010 by Jasmine Stone / No Comments
Come on, be honest, the old footage just wasn’t doing it for you. You needed something new, something fresh. Well I tell you what, Kim Jong il has done it for us. He basically brought in a whole squadron of professional videographers and the result is right here – the most MIND-BLOWING video (set perfectly to music) of Kim Jong il’s army – with rockets and everything.

Hidden somewhere between the not-yet-sticky pages of 200,000 issues of this Friday’s edition of Playboy are 10 ‘Golden Tickets’ to the annual Midsummer Night’s Dream Party at the Playboy Mansion, in a move inspired by Willy Wonka. We have yet to confirm whether or not there’ll be orange midgets at this party too.
