Just as Twitter was cooling off from last Friday’s Jessica Leandra furore, another South African model (and also actress, apparently) called Tshidi Thamana (@tshditee) set the infernos of South African outrage blazing once more with a tweet she fired off in response to the Leandra debacle this weekend. But the biggest question on our lips is, who the hell is Tshidi Thamana?
Fed up with the damage that piracy is doing to the local music industry, Lords Fire Recordz have planned a march against digital piracy, scheduled to happen in Pretoria today.

47 Ethiopian men were rescued on the weekend from being sold into slavery by a human-trafficking syndicate in Limpopo. Snatched for ransom, those whose families can’t pay, have their relatives unwillingly sold into slavery in SA. The United Nations now estimates that there are more than 27 million slaves in the world.
Making predictions is a fools game, but I feel as though I can see a corner in the distance. It’s a corner that local wine producers are turning, or at least preparing to turn. The big, overworked and oaked wines are on their way out. We present a few wines that demonstrate this turning point, and most importantly, you can afford them.
You will be pleased to know that GQ’s new ‘Style’ magazine hits shelves today. I think the guy on the cover is absolutely killing it. Look at him. Just dishing out fistfuls of napalm, willy nilly. Check this vibe out: It is with great pleasure and excitement that GQ South Africa announces the launch of GQ […]

You guys have heard of Kickstarter – that site that lets people pitch their projects for funding to the internet at large, and which has led to new apps, art projects, and a Robocop statue in Detroit. All of which stopped mattering when Amanda Palmer raised $500 000 in four days on the platform – with 24 days of funding remaining.

Wow, this story (which 2oceansvibe broke) is really doing the rounds. For those of you who aren’t aware, The British Daily Mail’s online news site is the World’s number one news website, with over 5 million unique readers a day. To make the front page is quite a big deal – usually for all the […]
Fury broke out across social networks today after FHM model Jessica Leandra dropped the K-bomb on a “gentleman” in a shop last night. In an attempt to explain where “her anger boiled from”, she updated her blog, also saying she is “apologetic”. FHM, however, has since publicly distanced themselves from her. Read the full statement by editor, Brendan Cooper, after the jump.
Jessica Leandra isn’t going to have the best of weekends this weekend. Although, given her apparent ignorance, she might be none the wiser. Not only has most of SA’s twitterverse punished her online and FHM stripped her of her title, the Democratic Alliance has stepped in as well! Wowsers! Check it out – this just […]
Last year Stimorol rolled out a series of ads to promote their Infinity range, in the TV spots gum-chewers were caught in an infinite loop of increasingly bizarre situations. In their latest radvertising venture we’re taken to even more bizarre heights, featuring an anthro-dog, a bouncer in a tie-dyed one piece and a creepy man in a polo-neck.
For a political party that prides itself on being squeaky clean, it was only a matter of time before something emerged. It’s not the Arms Deal, but having child p0rn on your office computer is probably not the smartest thing to do – especially if the p0rn involves kids.
Dominique Strauss-Kahn, along with three other Frenchmen, have been accused of gang rape. Judges in charge of the investigation into a prostitution ring involving Dominique Strauss-Kahn now face two options: dismiss the new allegations, or bring charges of gang rape against them. It’s likely that the charges will stick.
With her name trending on Twitter, and most of the major news outlets having picked up the story, Jessica Leandra is having a pretty crap Friday thus far. Last night she tweeted a little bigotry that she may regret for a lot longer than it took her to respond to the backlash on her website. Her full apology, after the jump, but is it enough?
Mark Zuckerberg officially filed its IPO with Securities and Exchange Commission yesterday afternoon, announcing its intention to sell 337 million shares at between $28 and $35 a pop – in the biggest Internet stock offering since Google went public in 2004.

You cannot make this stuff up. FHM model and self-described “glamorous blonde of Mediterranean nationality, born and bred in South Africa” dropped a K-bomb on another shopper during altercation in Spar last night, and then took to Twitter with her bile. More of Jessica’s online foolishness, after the jump!
It’s here people. The D is back. We broke the news last month that Tenacious D was training with Josh Groban and Dave Grohl, and the fruits of their labour has arrived. Here is the first video from the band, as well as details for the ENTIRE album on Soundcloud.
When you’re a student, popping out to the shops in your slippers is not a crime. In some sleepy SA beach towns, it’s positively de rigueur. But when you’re in military uniform, this is a big fat no-no. Lt-Col Ruth Ndayi has the SA Air Force up in arms about a photo taken of her wearing pink slippers to a Pretoria shopping mall, while dressed in military regalia.
Step right up, boys and girls! The New iPad is out, and you can get it at our Apple retailer of choice, DigiCape. Why should you get one? We thought you might ask, so we made this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y_tw7bb09kM Wham. Now that you’ve made your choice, click here to find a branch near you. Or shop […]
I’ve wanted Bluetooth headphones ever since Rob Stokes raved about his pair, during our lunch at the Mount Nelson. He uses them to ‘get in the zone,’ whilst handling emails and planning his next barefoot run – whatever that is. I did some shopping around and fear that the ones on offer were a bit […]
Well at least we know where we are doing our shopping this weekend.
Thanks Richard.
If you are one of those douchebags (or know such a douchebag) who text while driving, then you need to check out this video. Potential drivers in Belgium were told they had to pass a “mobile phone test” in order to get their driver’s licenses. See how they did, inside.
Because what last year’s homage to excessive, overblown action movies needed most of all was a sequel. Starring even more overhauled action heroes – like Chuck Norris and Jean-Claude Van Damme, Bruce Willis and Arnold Schwarzenegger – and, at a guess, more slow-motion explosions and weapon puns, it looks like something you guys should probably watch.
Photo: Brian Witbooi – TimesLive UK Couple’s Cheetah Horror – A Scottish couple will return home with a different version of happy holiday snaps when Archibald D’Mello and his wife Violet look at photographs of her being attacked by a cheetah. As Violet tried to stop one of her children from running away, the cheetah […]
With two weeks in a row not coming through for us, we’ve tried to make sure this time! At 20 to 1, these odds are very likely to come through! I was chatting to someone the other day who is kicking himself for not putting money down on the famous 100 to 1 multiple we […]
