Following on from the news that Albert de Wet’s track, “Bikin’ RSA” was initially sent to media as the official song of the Cape Argus Pick n Pay Cycle Tour, and then sternly rejected by officials from the organisation, we suggest that bikers across the country rally around this song ahead of the big race […]
So it turns out that “The Jasonator” from that SMS and that Facebook page is actually the lead character from a new book. They tried to sneak that past us here at 2OV, but the readers were far too quick for it– they caught him out right away. He admitted this to me over twitter […]
Dove are ready to announce their shiny new brand ambassador for the Dove Men+Care range. We’ve kept a sharp eye on this one. I mean, we all love a clean, well groomed guy, but a brand ambassador for a minimal fuss, absolutely-does-the-job product like Dove Men+Care needs to be manly, too, you know? So who […]
That house where Macaulay Culkin got stranded over Christmas in that one movie back in 1990 was sold yesterday, according to real estate agency Coldwell Banker. Which means the buyers – a family new to Winnekta, Illinois – are already having to deal with tourists showing up daily and posing for photos with both hands clapped to their face.
How’s this for pretty sweet – Cape Town International Airport has been voted the best in Africa by the Airports Council International. Not too shabby, eh? I of course remember it from when it was still the humble DF Malan, but it’s nice to see that some progress has been made.
Another year, another tepid re-make. This time, Hollywood mega-producer Jerry Bruckheimer has teamed up with veteran director, Gore Verbinski, to revive the tale of Texas’ most mysterious hero, ‘The Lone Ranger’ for release in 2013. But wait, what the hell is that on Johnny Depp’s head?!
This week the world was shocked by the case of the road rage taxi driver in Bloemfontein. But who is the pedestrian this maniac struck twice with his vehicle before kicking him in the face? The guy’s name is Isaac Moalai, and the 52 year-old spoke on camera for the first time yesterday. Hear what he has to say after the jump.
Humans and animals don’t always get along. But on occasion one species helps the other out in a remarkable way. When it comes to dolphins, it’s often the animal coming to the rescue of the human, but in this dramatic video, it is beachgoers in Brazil who lend a hand to the dolphins. Heartwarming stuff.
Whitney Houston’s Will: Ex-husband Bobby Brown Doesn’t Get A Cent – Whitney Houston’s will and estate leave no room for confusion.

Shani Krebs has been living in a (reportedly revolting) maximum security Thai prison called Bang Kwang Central – lovingly referred to by inmates as the ‘Bangkok Hilton’ – since before South Africa became a democracy. Krebs is the longest-serving farang or foreigner in the institution, for which he’s earned a rather tragic reputation. He’s at last been released and will soon return to the ‘new’ SA.

This morning I taught you about mantyhose, rather unfortunately. Those are at least worn under jeans, mostly. Something much worse has been brought to our attention by a reader – Alpha Nail. You know, nail polish for the alpha male. I am absolutely horrified.
Yesterday, the internet was all about Invisible Children’s #stopKONY campaign and video, but while Americans get themselves into a froth about a country they don’t even know the location of, and a man they only know through rumours, we take a closer look at the organisation behind the hype. And as a number of commentators look closer, the cracks in Invisible Children’s premise, promises and their presentation become anything but invisible.
Our newer readers will probably not know about the TBG (Tall Blonde Guy). Or rather, they wouldn’t be aware of the name. Everyone has felt great moments of upliftment and sensational visions when in public – but perhaps didn’t know what to put it down to. Indeed, the TBG may well have been in the […]
Public art has always been part of who we are on this continent and in this country. The interconnectedness of the African “us” has often been impeded however, throwing people apart and far away from each other, creating a physical and psychic separation. Infecting the City is a small attempt at igniting this interconnectedness through […]
I’m not quite sure what to make of all of this and the best I can do is deliver it to you as I receive it. Most of you would have caught the article yesterday about an iPhone SMS chat, featuring a very thick-skinned individual, who signed off as “JB.” We don’t know much about […]

Thanks to PopYaCollar for doing the right thing and putting together this sensational photo gallery of the Cafe Caprice Volleyball Tournament. 2oceansvibe entered and didn’t win.

After two rounds of 2012 Super Rugby action, who would have guessed that the Blues and Sharks would be winless and that the Highlanders and Chiefs would be heading up the New Zealand conference? That, you see, is the beauty of the Super 15 and as we head into Round Three, there are – once […]
Because that’s EXACTLY what you’re doing when you don’t buy tickets to the overseas lotteries. We only play them when they go over a billion Rand. Which is now. The Megamillions lottery has rolled over again and Friday’s draw is now sitting at R1.13 Billion. It’s literally thirty bucks for one ticket. That is literally car […]
Over the past couple of days, CCTV footage of a taxi driver (number plate: DHK506FS) from Bloemfontein assaulting a pedestrian went viral. Aggrey Mojanaga has since been arrested and appeared in court. Hooray, right? No. He has been released and is on the streets again, scot-free. Click through for a mind-boggling police statement.
English heavy metal band Motörhead has launched a line of bottled alcoholic beverages, because that’s just what you do when you’re a band of a certain age. There’s Motörhead Vodka which, sure, heavy metal, makes sense, and they’ve also released Motörhead Shiraz. Because I guess that’s heavy metal too.
Fashion is known for being a little ridiculous, but this is just plain absurd. A new designer has branched out their range in response to a demand, of all things, to create a pantyhose specifically aimed at men.

A reader sent in this epic iPhone SMS conversation screenshot. My personal favourite is at the end – he still doesn’t get it, and tunes her “I know I picked up a vibe you little flirt!” Whaah! What a beaut! Quality. Good luck with that, buddy 😉
