We’ve been following the developments of the Greek financial crisis closely here at 2oceansvibe. What’s more is that dogs have been absolutely killing it this year and so we bring you, Loukanikos, who has hated Greece’s austerity measures, corrupt politicians, and the plight of the Greek people since 2008.
Some people, like Jason Valdez, are just natural multi-taskers. This loco ‘ese held a woman hostage for 16 hours in a stand-off with SWAT teams. During this time he also updated his Facebook status, posted pics of him and his hostage, and added at least a dozen new friends – some even tipping him off about police activities outside. Valdez responded: “Thank you homie. Good looking out.”
Sometimes talent is just so gobsmackingly obvious that you cannot prevent the inevitable from happening. This talent will rise to the top, similar to the best cut of steak at a braai – everyone will notice it and make a comment. The young lad made this appearance after winning the World Junior title in the under-10 division 12 years ago.
This unusual occurrence happened during the Promosport Championship race at Magny-Cours. Two guys fall off their bikes, the motorcycles lock wheel bars and then spin impressively for nearly a minute. Watch as the hapless riders comically try to grab onto the handlebars while both machines continue to pirouette on the ground. Bonus points if you can guess what the one rider keeps shouting.
Oh this is just mean. And yes, okay, by mean I probably mean amazing. Prior to the 60th annual Miss USA pageant, held last Sunday in Las Vegas, delegates were asked to field a couple of debate questions – like this one, where they share their views on teaching evolution in schools. Cruel.
A new club that opened in Jakarta, Indonesia, this weekend, is encouraging women to be totally obedient to their husbands and focus on keeping them sexually satisfied. Predictably, the new branch of the 800-member strong organisation has generated a chorus of disapproval from activists and academics alike.
Professional Barack Obama impersonator Reggie Brown was invited by the Republican Party to speak at their Leadership Conference in New Orleans over the weekend. Classy birth certificate references and borderline racist jokes ensued, until he was pulled off the stage by a conference official. Come, observe democracy at its high point.
It’s not clear exactly what Amy was on when she performed in Belgrade on Saturday night, but whatever it was, it was a lot. During her 90 minute performance, Winehouse managed to mumble mostly and may have even hallucinated a few times too. The next few legs of her European tour have obviously been cancelled.
Sometimes, the truth really is stranger than fiction. This video – filmed at a wedding in China – features a bride, her groom, and… his boyfriend. The latter basically rocked up to crash the wedding. And crash it he does. High-pitched screeching from all involved ensues, until the groom is forced to make a decision. I promise you won’t be able to guess how it ends!
Australian TV presenter, Karl Stefanovich found himself interviewing the Dalai Lama, as one does, and decided that the best thing to do would be to try that “the Dalai Lama walks into a pizza shop” joke. Take a look and see how well that worked out for him.
I need a cooler hobby. Over the weekend, Zane Whitmore, a 34-year-old from Seattle, attached himself to a hot air balloon with four piercings across his shoulder blades, and took to the air for a little more than an hour, cruising at just under 3 000 metres. No, I don’t know why either, look at the video.
As rebel forces march further west toward the Libyan capital, Tripoli, and Germany declares its support for the rebels, Muammar Gaddafi took on Kirsan Ilyumzhinov, president of the World Chess Federation in a game of chess on Sunday. What do they have in common? They’ve both been in powerful leadership positions for a long time.
It was the Le Mans 24 hour race this weekend and somehow the Le Mans 2008 winner, Allan McNish, survived one of the most horrific motor accidents ever witnessed. Needless to say the video went viral. We will now add to this viralness and give it to you right here, right now. Follow the link […]
Perspective-based art is usually a little lame – ‘look, guys, I’m holding up the Leaning Tower of Pisa!’ – but this dude pulls it off. Erik Johannson, Stockholm street artist, set up this bottomless pit illusion called ‘Mind Your Step’ in Sergels torg, and let passers-by play around with it. It’s cool.
All this newsreader had to say was, “more teens are having luck finding summer jobs”. Instead she managed to replace “luck” with another word. This one starts with a “F” and rhymes with “luck”, as well as “buck” and “duck”. Trying to keep her composure whilst realising her EPIC FAIL, however, is even more priceless. If you are at work, keep the volume down.
Here’s what you’ve all been waiting for: an intriguing eye witness description of the alleged fight that resulted in Brian Chaplin being maced in the face by police officers, also featuring a video of the aftermath of the widely-reported fight. Check it all out after the jump.
Look, I don’t like to court contradiction, least of all on the web, but I think I may have accidentally lied to you guys yesterday. I told you that this beer advertisement was the best beer ad that there ever was, and I meant it. I did. But then the internet showed me this.
Footage of a bunny born without ears has emerged from just outside the exclusion zone, near Japan’s crippled Fukushima plant. Thanks to help of local media and Japan’s online community, the inhabitants of this area now fear the possibility of one day bearing kids with no ears.
moonage3, who uploaded this advert by Hahn Brewery, called it the ‘Most EPIC beer commercial EVER.’ Now, the word ‘epic’ is getting a little stale, and nobody likes too many letters in upper case, but just this once I’m in agreement with moonage3. Please. Let Hahn Brewery show you how they put awesome in a bottle.
There’s a lot of that volcano business going down at the moment. Over 3,500 people have been evacuated from the area surrounding the Chilean volcano Puyehue, active for the first time in 50 years. Volcanic ash, stirred up by the activity, has spread across the border into Argentina, shutting down businesses and airports.
It is important that you watch videos like this, because it will give you ideas for when you win one of the overseas lotteries. Donald Trump has just bought himself a new Boeing 757 Private Jet for $100 Million. So with some of the big overseas lottery jackpots (they go up to $250 Million) you […]
With Digicape taking care of the vibe since 2008, it’s a given that the 2oceansvibe Media compound is Mac ‘verskrik.’ It is for that very reason, and the fact that the world agrees with us (Apple is now worth more than Microsoft and Intel combined) that we wish to give you this video and full […]
Taxijam.tv involves filming well-known local bands playing a song inside, well, a taxi. Normally this involves a set of instruments as well, but for the first time ever a band has performed an song entirely composed on iPads. LIVE in the taxi! Big-ups to the boys from Holiday Murray for pulling this one off. See their nifty achievement inside.
A stray collie named Star has managed to survive despite being bound and shot in the head 40 times before being buried alive. She managed to wriggle her way to the surface of the shallow grave she’d been left in to die. It is near impossible not to judge the kind of “people” responsible for this, but at least the story has a good ending.
The Global Commission on Drug Policy has released a report stating that the ‘war on drugs’ has failed. Like Dame Judi Dench and Sting, the 19-member panel – which includes Sir Richard Branson, Kofi Annan and former leaders of Brazil and Mexico – is urging for the decriminalization of drugs. The USA is not amused.
There is a certain type of man that will always be destined to stand out of the crowd. The kind of guy that will pretty much OWN everything he does – whether he is the CEO of a Fortune 500 company, or a bag packer in a shop like my man right here in this video. He is most certainly living the holiday.
There has been a plethora of articles across the net relating to the World Health Organisation’s latest report on cellphones and their possible link to cancer. If you don’t look slightly deeper than the headlines you’d think that you’re literally frying your brain. So, should you ignore this video by Funny or Die as pure fiction? Yes, probably.
Richard Heene, father of “Balloon Boy” and creator of a hoax that saw global TV coverage in 2009 (and eventually got him and his wife arrested), wants to sell the infamous “flying saucer” balloon for $1 Million Dollars to aid the relief effort in Japan.
Some people will just always be cool. Take this guy for example – when it comes to making an exit, he’s pretty much nailed it. I love how he manages to hold his beer steady, climb THROUGH the car window one leg at a time without failing, and then drive off nonchalantly into the distance. Now that’s a real boss – respect!
“But this is CYCLING!”, I hear you blurt, rusk crumbs embedding themselves in your computer screen. “You guys don’t LIKE cyclists!” That said, Danny MacAskill is no prawn. He’s a stylish, skilled athlete, and he makes the infrastructure of our beloved city look oh-so-fine.
