Information wants to be free, man! So says Julian Assange and his WikiLeaks geeks. Info wants to be free! The internet is free! Don’t police it! It’s a nice idea, isn’t it? The internet being the last place on earth that is unpoliced. Well, that may be about to go away.
Big wave surfing is not for the feint of heart. That amount of water carries a hell of a lot of weight, and one slip up can lead to a terrible encounter with a wall of watery death. Garrett McNamara, a big wave surfer from Hawaii has just broken the world record for the biggest wave ever surfed. Video after the jump.
Big Cheeser Bob and I were fortunate enough to have lunch with an Ozzie fella, JC – one of the founding members of Movember. We chowed at my buddy Luke Dale Robert’s new restaurant at the Biscuit Mill, called “The Test Kitchen.” Awesome, simple cuisine aside, I was intrigued by JC’s clarification with regards to […]

Orion Cold Storage, a Cape Town-based food distributor, has been caught red-handed lying about an extensive range of food products destined for shop shelves. Undercover footage recorded by an employee on his cellphone between February and August this year shows an employee “blessing” food as Halaal when it clearly isn’t.
I love tawny port. The flavours of sweet raisin, black tea and earth make we want to shout and dance around singing, “I’m Tawny, Tawny Tawny Tawny tonight.” I finished half a bottle last night in preparation for this column. It made me happy. But not as happy as I was the last time I drank it – and that’s the rub.
The Advertising Standards Authority in the UK has ruled that a new ad for perfume, created by designer Marc Jacobs, sexualizes children. The campaign features teenage actress Dakota Fanning posing with an oversized bottle of perfume between her legs.

Mayor of Denver, Michael Hancock, has been pressuring members of the Occupy Denver movement to pick a leader, “to deal with City and State officials.” So the protesters, in the most benign shove-it gesture imaginable, elected a three-and-a-half-year-old border collie. Named Shelby.
Laughter is the best medicine, but cancer and comedy don’t mix – unless your name’s Mike Birbiglia or you’re watching 50/50. Disambiguation: we’re reviewing 50/50, the comedy-drama about a 27-year-old guy struggling to beat the odds after being diagnosed with cancer and not 50|50, the hard-hitting 27-year-old nature conservation show. There is a difference.
Apple recently showed a St. Louis, USA-based app developer a red card, giving him a one year ban from their App Development Programme, all because he tried to prove a point.
I always find it quite hilarious that when a new hot hatch is launched it is almost immediately compared to the VW Golf. I don’t know when the Golf became the undisputed king of this segment, but what I do know is the last time I drove a hot Golf, it was without doubt one of the best cars I had ever driven. It was the all-wheel drive Golf R, and it’s going to take some beating. Enter the 2012 Astra OPC.
Some organisation by the name of “The Central Drug Authority”, is here to tell you how bad you are. Or, in the words of the authority’s acting chairman, Dr Ray Eberlein, “If we had a boozing world cup, South Africa wouldn’t even have to practise.” Duh, Dr Ray, we already had one. And I’m still hanging from it.
A former policeman-turned private detective says he shadowed 90 people, including Prince William for News of the World.

Harold Hackett doesn’t use Facebook, LinkedIn or any of the vast array of dating platforms to make friends – he goes the Castaway route by tossing messages sealed in bottles into the surf near his home on Prince Edward Island, Canada. And it works.
You probably remember watching Absolutely Fabulous – the show about two drunk, over the top, excessively crazy bitches. It may be the very place Amy Winehouse got the inspiration for the beehive, and possibly her bad behaviour as well. BBC Films has now jumped on board, and a film is on the way.
Strokes can have massive effects on the body and mind, and are known to be occasionally transformative. Perhaps none more-so than the stroke experienced by Chris Birch during a rugby training incident in Wales. Birch,26, claims to have woken up after suffering a stroke feeling very different, and that the incident had turned him into a gay man. He was engaged to his girlfriend at the time.

We all love egg-fried rice, but it is an incredibly tedious job for those who have to make it. But not for today’s addition to the 2oceansVibe Boss Hall of Fame. You’ll have to be patient, because the video starts out slowly. But believe me, its all worth it when you get to the part of the video where he dishes up the rice.
Russian historian, Anatoly Moskvin, has been arrested after Russian police discovered 29 mummified bodies in his home. The remains were dressed in brightly-coloured clothes and arranged in doll-like poses, making up a “gruesome tableau.” Moskvin has been charged with desecration of graves, because it turns out being insanely creepy isn’t a crime in Russia.
Afrikaans zef rap sensation, Die Antwoord, have released a statement on their website indicating that they have parted ways with their record company, Interscope – and that’s putting it diplomatically.
American mother and pillar of the criminally insane community, Wendy Werkit, identified a gap in the junk food market and took a leap of faith. “Why has no one thought of this yet”, she thought, as she put the finishing touches on her Facebook ad. “Fifty dollars isn’t bad for a ‘pox’ infected sucker”, she thought, as her brain fell out of her ass.
