OZZY OSBOURNE’S SAMSUNG AD
05 Jun 2009 by Seth Rotherham / 3 Comments
It’s a basic concept which I’m surprised they (brands) haven’t used before. Using ignorant famous people in an ad, who clearly don’t understand the technology on display, but, simultaneously, demonstrating it to the viewers/readers! Please enjoy Ozzy Osbourne with the new Samsung Alias 2 – whatever that is. Did you enjoy the second […]

One of the down sides about having Google AdSense ads displayed on one’s website is they have a mind of their own. And by “down” sides, I mean “hilarious” sides. How Google AdSense works, is the code which produces the ad actually reads your webpage and will publish an ad depending on the content – […]

REVOLTING KLOOF STREET STUDIOS STATUE FALLS OVER IN STORM
18 May 2009 by Seth Rotherham / 6 Comments
Whilst it may not contain as much symbolism as, say, the US army pulling down the statue of Saddam Hussein, I think this might be a silent victory for a number of people who work and frequent the area surrounding Long Kloof Studios , Kloof Street, Cape Town. This weekend’s storm was so big and […]

It’s common knowledge that access to 2oceansvibe has been restricted at various stuffy offices around the world.
