Fantastically funny ad campaign by Arab Dairy for their Panda Cheese, which doesn’t have anything to do with pandas, but don’t let that get in the way of enjoying these videos.

Cao Ni Zu Zong Shi Ba Dai
12 Nov 2010 by Jasmine Stone / No Comments
Cao ni zu zong shi ba dai. It’s probably about time I learned to speak Mandarin. According to research just published by the Conference Board, a highly respected research institute, the Chinese economy will overtake that of the poor old US by 2012 in terms of output.

The TRON: LEGACY Trailer
10 Nov 2010 by Jasmine Stone / No Comments
Have I explained why you should forget about everything else being released this year and get excited about Tron: Legacy? I haven’t? Jeeze, I’m sorry, that’s my bad. This movie has Jeff Bridges and Olivia Wilde in it. It’s also the sequel to the film that defined your childhood’s idea of how ‘cyberspace’ worked. Daft Punk is doing the soundtrack. Do you need more time?

Your Sperm Hate Phone Calls
10 Nov 2010 by Jasmine Stone / 1 Comment
Phone calls are, by their very nature intrusive, and downright offensive for the majority of the occasions that you’re determined to suffer them. But we won’t go in to that in too much detail right now. All you need to know is that your sperm are on our side, and they hate you for all that calling you’ve been getting up to.

Family Man, Sword Assassin, Jedi [VIDEO]
09 Nov 2010 by Jasmine Stone / No Comments
According to bladefighting.com, what we have on the left hand side here is “A triangle of Pekiti-Tirsia Kali generations.” And what a wholesome collection of obscure Philippino martial art generations it is. Thus, please enjoy the backyard demonstrations of simulated knife murder, as suffered by cardboard cutouts.

Tuesday Toke: California Votes On Proposition 19
02 Nov 2010 by Jasmine Stone / 7 Comments
Assuming the stoners of California remember to leave the house today, they’ll vote – successfully – to pass Proposition 19, which will legalize marijuana in the state. If this passes, the next Golden Globe will go to a daytime cartoon, obesity rates will triple and the hacky-sack industry will become an economic powerhouse.

New Jersey Hobo Migration Patterns Are Being Tracked
29 Oct 2010 by Jasmine Stone / No Comments
Well, sort of. New Jersey has a pretty huge homeless population. I assume this is what that show, Jersey Shore, is about. And that noble institution, the New Jersey Homeless Management Information System, has introduced a finger-printing system so they can keep track of when homeless folk are using the government-funded soup-kitchens and spas. It’s weird.

Robot Vans Get From Italy To China On Autopilot
29 Oct 2010 by Jasmine Stone / No Comments
God, I love living in the future. Don’t you? Four driverless, electric vans arrived in Shanghai yesterday after a 13,000km ‘test drive’ from Italy. They had no maps, and they stopped to pick up a hitchhiker on the way.

Cross-Cultural T-Shirt Humour
28 Oct 2010 by Seth Rotherham / 1 Comment
I wonder how long this fellow had been wearing his nice green T-shirt around his village, without anyone batting an eyelid. Years, I’d say. And they probably still don’t know that old Xqa! on the drums is wearing a very humourous Irish T-shirt. Better yet, a T-shirt with the foulest of words written on it..

Quidditch Now A Real Sport; Writer Too Astonished To Joke About It
26 Oct 2010 by Jasmine Stone / No Comments
‘Muggle Quidditch:’ A bunch of dudes and ladies run around in capes and goggles with broomsticks between their legs while throwing balls at mounted hoops. This is an official sport, with a World Cup in November. Feel free to take a moment to weep now.

Well now I’ve seen it all. Seriously? A 5-year-old proposing to a 3 year old? I just wonder how this made the news, who would take it seriously?

22 Oct 2010 by Jasmine Stone / 1 Comment
The End Of The Line is this year’s most vaunted environmental documentary. Brought to South Africa by Investec, the internationally-acclaimed film is a stark and uncompromising look at our systematic pillaging of our oceans, the effects of which will hit us harder and sooner than we anticipated. 2oceansvibe Radio will be chatting to the film’s producer and author of the book by the same name, Charles Clover, as well as giving away ten tickets to the film. Details after the jump.

21 Oct 2010 by Jasmine Stone / No Comments
Two French students, calling themselves the ‘Niqabitches,’ have posted a video of themselves strolling through Paris wearing the niqab with hot pants and high heels, in protest of France’s recent burka ban. They seem like very nice young ladies.

End Of The Line
19 Oct 2010 by Jasmine Stone / No Comments
Remember An Inconvenient Truth? You watched it, right? This may shock you, but the vast majority of the planet we live on is constituted of aquatic environments, and inhabited by aquatic species. A new film premiering in South Africa later this month, The End Of The Line, is An Inconvenient Truth for the ocean. [VIDEO]

Is The D’oh Catholic?
19 Oct 2010 by Jasmine Stone / No Comments
The Simpsons have been hiding a religious agenda, apparently. Sunday’s edition of L’Osservatore Romano, the Vatican’s daily broadsheet, declared that ”Not many people know it, and he does everything he can to hide it. But it’s true, Homer J. Simpson is Catholic.” I guess drawing conclusions from nonexistent evidence isn’t entirely new to the region.

15 Oct 2010 by Jasmine Stone / No Comments
While many sportsmen spend their time in the run up to a major event practicing, James Hunt spent the 2 weeks prior to his famed 1976 win in Japan on a “round-the-clock alcohol, cannabis and cocaine binge”.

Sky Sports’ Favourite Son On 2oceansvibe Radio
15 Oct 2010 by Jasmine Stone / No Comments
Ed Chamberlin is Sky Sports’ elite football presenter. That’s right, he’s a pretty big name on British telly. Funnily enough, we can’t shake the memory of him as the beloved stooge of Founders House, Bishops, in 1994. We chat to him about the Currie Cup, the Liverpool shenanigans, and the state of English rugby, live on 2oceansvibe Radio.

Dutch Man Needs Toilet On TV [VIDEO]
14 Oct 2010 by Jasmine Stone / No Comments
The Dutch are an interesting bunch and certainly do have a unique sense of humour. In this case it is hard to tell whether the guy needing the loo is a prankster or not. He’s either a legend or an idiot. Either way, it doesn’t matter – the result is hilarious. Check out the video after the jump.

Die Antwoord’s Interwebs Site Hacked
13 Oct 2010 by Jasmine Stone / 4 Comments
Either Yolandi and Ninja are writing a Die Antwoord-esque love letter to a friend named Dirk, or their website has been hacked. Lines of text stating, “Dirk F*cks Whores” cover the screen, and the source points to a hacker named “poesgesig”. Really? You hacked Die Antwoord’s website and you couldn’t post the eff word in it’s entirety?

Can I Get The Gnocchi And A Red Vespa To Go Please!
12 Oct 2010 by Jasmine Stone / No Comments
The more trendy of our London ex-pats will know of Carluccio’s Caffès – a great place to meet over a drink and simple well-prepared Italian food, made on the premises. Although one extra thing seems to have been added to their New Bond Street Carluccio’s menu – something that certainly is Italian and hand-made, but not right there on the premises!

Solid Gold – Banksy Does The Simpsons
11 Oct 2010 by Jasmine Stone / No Comments
Famed and cultishly-revered British street artist, Banksy, has struck gold. He story-boarded and animated the intro for this Simpsons episode, and it is appropriately entertaining. What a lot of people don’t know, though, is that he used the 2oceansvibe HQ as a real-world inspiration for some of the intro scenes. Guess which ones. [VIDEO]

Just Look At This Video Of Kids Tripping Out
11 Oct 2010 by Jasmine Stone / 1 Comment
Just look at it. Kids, music, drugs, concerned parents, American news networks, middle America – it’s all there. This report cries foul on i-dosing (not an Apple product), whereby ne’er-do-well teenagers whittle away their misspent youth getting high on binural frequencies. I’m calling BS on this one. [VIDEO]

Google Street View – Finding Penguins And Corpses
08 Oct 2010 by Jasmine Stone / 1 Comment
The Great Tripod on a Prius has made it’s way to Brazil, not long after wizzing by 2ov’s HQ in the Cape Quarter, I’ll have you know. But, as inevitable as portraits of maniacal bergies on the Cape Town records of Google Street view, corpses have begun popping up at an alarming rate as the Street View car chugs through Brazil, and specifically, Rio de Janeiro.

High Fives – Migrating Upwards
07 Oct 2010 by Jasmine Stone / No Comments
Have you heard? High-fiving is so very generation Y. Generation Z face-fives. That’s right, ‘face fiving.’ Specifically forehead-fiving.
I know you think I’m making this stuff up. But I’m not. Seriously, I wouldn’t fib about something called ‘face fiving!’ How could I make up something like that? [VIDEO]

Death By GPS
06 Oct 2010 by Jasmine Stone / No Comments
Technology has claimed its second victim in as many weeks. Not long after the Segway Company owner plummeted to his not-so poetic death (he was attached to a Segway at the time), a Spanish man has perished after plunging his Peugeot into a reservoir, at the instruction of his GPS. Maybe he had the Yoda voice activated?

Yes, Advertising To Kids Is Important
04 Oct 2010 by Jasmine Stone / No Comments
Marmite, Mrs Balls Chutney, Iron Brew, and Tropica. These are the flavours of my childhood, and every now and then, a craving hits, and the inevitable binge ensues. I know, I disgust myself. Happily, I’ve been vindicated by science. Get a child hooked on your product in their formative years, and you’ve got them for life.
