NIGERIAN POLITICIANS – NOT KOSHER
21 May 2010 by Jasmine Stone / No Comments
Nigerian politicians are pretty colourful characters, if news reports are anything to go by. If they haven’t got two kilograms of coke (NOT the kind that fizzes with Mentos) in their political tummies, then they’re off marrying Egyptian 13 year-olds.

“INTRIGUING” IS ANOTHER WORD FOR “WEIRD”
21 May 2010 by Jasmine Stone / No Comments
Sorry about that, it’s kind of bright, I know. As you can see, London have gone for a bit of an intriguing vibe for their 2012 Olympic logo. And by intriguing, I might actually mean, “epilepsy-inducing”. So, in a intriguing strange kind of way, it’s kudos to London’s Olympic organising committee (queerly named Locog) for […]

COOKING YOURSELF – A NATIONAL SPORT IN FINLAND
20 May 2010 by Jasmine Stone / No Comments
ESPN is a great repository for sporting news. Especially news from the Baltic states. Take Finland, for example. Finland is the home of Sauna (that’s right, with a capital “S”). This relaxing past tie has been exported in various forms and varieties the world over, such is humankind’s love for a good, cleansing sweat. But […]

SAVE YOUR CHILD FROM A LIFE OF LAME
20 May 2010 by Jasmine Stone / No Comments
Everyone knows how cut-throat childhood can be, right? The playground politics, the snide remarks, the vengeful love triangles, the grief-induced crayon-eating binges. Right? Well, maybe not me. Know why? Because when I was a kid, my parents made damn sure that their offspring would never, ever, have the label “loser” pasted on them. How did […]

“DEAR ENGLAND, YOU’RE BROKE”
19 May 2010 by Jasmine Stone / No Comments
OK, so I don’t claim to know a heck of a lot about macro economic policy, national Anglo trans-administration fiscal health, or even the projected recovery gradient of the British economy over the next five years. But two things, I know for sure. 1) The English ruling classes are humour gods, and…

DO THE MACARONA – PROVENCE STYLE
18 May 2010 by Seth Rotherham / No Comments
A few weeks ago I mentioned my excitement at the way macarons had become not only Cape Town’s favourite treat, but also our favourite gift! In an article entitled, The Cookie Connoisseur Cookie, I was admittedly ignorant as to the name of the little bundles of magic. Needless to say the 2oceansvibe community rallied round […]

US NEWS STILL FAILING AT GEOGRAPHY
18 May 2010 by Jasmine Stone / No Comments
With the Soccer World Cup just 24 days, four hours and 20 minutes away, it’s so comforting to know that our beloved RSA is getting the accurate international press coverage that we deserve. I mean, take this, for example, courtesy of Chicago’s WGN news.

IT IS NOW SAFE TO REMOVE GENE’S FLASH STICK
17 May 2010 by Jasmine Stone / No Comments
Besides being at the age where his main desire should be trying to play online bingo for free, KISS bassist and all round grand daddy of rock, Gene Simmons, was recently accused of dry-humping an ESPN make-up artist, as some of you may have heard. After said make-up artist demanded $185 000 from Gene for […]

THINGS ARE GOING PRETTY WELL WITH CHARLOTTE HAWKINS
04 May 2010 by Seth Rotherham / 1 Comment
Yeah, thanks for asking. Look, I’ll be honest, things are going pretty well. I basically made the first move with the “piece” I wrote the other day about SkyNews anchor, Mark Longhurst, and the terribly awkward crush he has on SkyNews presenter, Charlotte Hawkins. You can read up on that here. Naturally the story was […]

My beautiful babies, Daddy has snuck out of town for a month. I know I should have told you properly before I left, but if I had done that, you wouldn’t have let me leave. Everyone knows that an “Eagle Claw,” when performed by a model, is infinitely stronger than a Pit-Bull’s lock jaw. I […]

UKRAINE PARLIAMENT MAYHEM
28 Apr 2010 by Jasmine Stone / 1 Comment
On Tuesday, while millions of South Africans were celebrating Freedom Day, Ukrainian parliamentarians were expressing patriotism for their country by throwing eggs at the speaker of parliament, detonating smoke bombs in the upper chamber, and generally engaging in fisticuffs. As you’ll see in this video, the jolly lawmakers are engaged in the ancient Ukrainian tradition […]

Are YOU ready? If you’ve been toying with the idea of defaulting on your home loan or joining a Russian acrobat troupe for a while now, go for it. Last week, students on UCT’s upper campus were the victims of random and ferocious pamphlet bombings by people wearing “May 21, 2011” T-shirts. Naturally lured in […]

IT WAS “POT DAY” ON TUESDAY
22 Apr 2010 by Seth Rotherham / 4 Comments
A lot of people are asking me why I haven’t spoken about “420 Day,” which is basically the most exciting date in any weed-head’s calendar. And it’s not some rubbish made-up day. Oh no, my friend, this celebration has been going since 1971! Hmmm…I wonder why I would only surface two days later? Let me […]

I simply cannot carry on much longer without doing a post about this goddamn volcano. When I first heard about it I thought I would tip-toe around the issue and wait for it to go away. But then it got worse. Then flights were cancelled. Then everyone was talking about it. Then my own friends […]

STUNNING REPORTS IN THE BRITISH PRESS
07 Apr 2010 by Seth Rotherham / 15 Comments
This is the vibe the UK press are going for, in one of the tabloids consumed by the masses. And you get two papers for the price of one! Baking! Nice! Exellent. That’s just stunning! Great timing, this whole vibe of ET’s murder vs Malema’s song. Take that, combined with the British press’ propensity for […]
