Their song “Paradise” has become the the unofficial anthem of the Games over the past 12 days. This year saw 4 200 Paralympians from 164 different countries take part. All the action inside.
Hustler publisher, and all round bad-ass Larry Flynt posted a full page advert in the Washington Post and USA Today over the weekend offering a bunch of cash for any information about Mitt Romney’s tax affairs. Not exactly classy, but exactly awesome.
I’m sure I’m not the only one who has given up with Cape Town’s various taxi services. I’ve tried so hard to avoid drinking and driving – so I book ahead and every single time they arrive late. Surely that’s not right? I call them (yes, ALL of them) 10 minutes later and the guy […]
As an obsessed Sunglass Hut follower and believer, it was with much excitement that I learnt of Georgia Jagger’s appointment as the new face of the brand. Those Bardot lips and that strategic gap – what more could you want? Check out these sexy pics from the launch.
We’ve all been there, the fasten-your-seatbelt sign is illuminated, the plane is taxiing, air hostesses line the aisles and everyone is asked to switch-off any electronic devices as they may interfere with the airplanes instruments, or some such drivel. But, how much truth does that bold statement actually hold, could a simple text message or something of the like actually have a severe, adverse affect on your flight?

Imagine your last memory being in 2005. It certainly was a different world back then – no black US president, no iPhones, no Facebook. This is what happened to Ayanda Nqinana, who was put into a coma following a late night crash on a lonely Eastern Cape road in 2005.

This week’s addition to the prestigious 2oceansVibe Boss Hall of Fame is a schoolgirl from Russia. You’ll notice from this clip that the teacher is attempting to teach her some English. He is also being an arsehole. So when she eventually kicks him in the cojones before running from the classroom, I actually felt like cheering.

With economies in shambles worldwide, the media is scrambling to try and find a reason for why things are so bad. But instead of actually asking people who know what they are talking about, we live in a world where we rely on the endorsements of celebrities.

There are even claims that people with red hair are incapable of possessing a soul. That is why many Ginganinjas head to Roodharigendag or Red Hair Day every year to meet up with like-minded, or like-haired, friends. So they can comfort each other.
The worlds most adventurous (read: propaganda loving) president is at it again. In the past he has tranquilised tigers, shot crossbows and flown fighter jets, but this time Action Putin piloted a motorised hang glider over an Arctic wilderness leading six endangered Siberian cranes toward their winter habitat.
