This incredible video was shot recently during the Independence Day riots in Warsaw. Someone used a camera, attached to a remote-controlled helicopter, to get a birds-eye view of the action.

Well done to Keet van Zyl and three other colleagues for being a little bit spicy.
Indonesians and Malaysians don’t like each other very much.

To say that today’s addition to the 2oceansVibe Boss Hall of Fame is skilled at playing dodgeball is an understatement. This boss-ninja is so crafty that this video needs to be watched in slow motion. The average human eye simply cannot keep up with his skill.
Philip Hammond, Liam Fox’s replacement as the UK’s Defence Secretary, announced to MPs that ground-to-air missiles would be deployed “to protect” the 2012 Olympic Games in London if deemed operationally necessary.

Barack Obama will visit Australia tomorrow, and the US President isn’t taking any chances with those fearsome Aussie crocs.

At 2am this morning the NYPD started violently clearing out Zuccoti Park, where the peaceful Occupy Wall Street protestors have been camped out. The cops are using pepper spray, they are using LRAD sound weapons, and they are actively preventing any official media from reporting on their violation of OWS members’ constitutional rights. Shit’s gotten real.
On Saturday night, someone held up a picture of Kurt Cobain at a Courtney Love concert. She saw it and went into a tirade about having to live with both Kurt’s ghost and his kid every day of her life. She then zapped the audience and left the stage – only returning after the crowd chanted: “The Foo Fighters are gay!” Video after the jump.
I got the latest V Magazine on my iPad 2 (I have a US iTunes account – which you can get here) and I was pleasantly surprised when I turned the page and found a stunning little shoot of the world’s #1 supermodel, our very own Candice Swanepoel. It would be rude not to show […]

The Blue Route is just that, blue, and depressing. You probably think you’ve got the better of it by taking Rhodes Drive. The only problem is that you have to deal with that queue that’s longer than the line at Home Affairs. Seth shows you where to bang a right, to avoid the fifteen minute […]
For centuries, people have been looking up at the night sky, admiring beautiful constellations and pondering the meaning of things greater than themselves. As beautiful as the view is, this video shows what things look like from the other side, and it’s pretty amazing.
There is a good chance you will have come across, or heard about, a cat meme. Either in picture or video format, they can be rather amusing. Or not. This isn’t an actual cat meme, but rather a lewd take on the phenomenon of cats and the internet.
Whenever anybody talks about viral advertising, something deep inside me gets a little closer to breaking. So please understand that when I say that this campaign by Innocent Foods, which lowers its prices the more social media exposure it gets (“the more people that tweet, the cheaper you eat”) could go nicely viral, I mean it.
“Humphrey’s like a son to me, he’s just like a human. There’s a special relationship between me and Humphrey”. These words were uttered by Klerksdorp farmer, Marius Els earlier this year.

From security guard, to dodgy taxi boss, to even dodgier mine boss – Khulubuse Zuma’s weight has exploded upwards recently. Nouveau riche, and all that.

You’ve got a passion for photography. Look, who doesn’t. But you’re afraid to commit. You’re afraid to take the plunge. You’re even afraid to mention the very fact that you have a strong interest in photography, lest some douchebag photojournalist-cum-free-to-have-music-magazine editor corners you into a conversation about shutter speed and aperture. What you need is […]
Why? Because, amongst a gaggle of other awesome features is an interview with German Wunderkind and youngest ever F1 Weltmeister (that’s World Champion to you, Englishman), Sebastian Vettel.

With much confusion surrounding the names Kloof Street, Kloof Road and Kloof Nek Road, the lower portion of Kloof Street couldn’t be a better candidate for a new neighbourhood name. Forming part of the expansive Gardens suburb, this flurrying node of Cape Town’s city includes such popular haunts as the Mount Nelson Hotel, vida e, […]
