Readers of Rolling Stone magazine have voted Starship’s “We Built This City” the worst song of the 1980s by a huge margin. The online poll asked readers of the mag to rank the most noxious music of the decade that brought us leg warmers and Sony Walkmans, among other things.
If the thought of waiting until the 2015 Rugby World Cup to visit Japan is less appealing right now, consider going there sooner, and for free, courtesy of the country’s tourism agency.

The companies jointly announced in a statement released a few hours ago that they have scraped the widely anticipated October 11 San Diego launch of the Nexus Prime, Samsung’s Android-based smartphone running the new Ice Cream Sandwich operating system.

Here in South Africa, we suffer some of the worst excesses of violent crime. But don’t think for a minute that other countries are spared the onslaught of criminal masterminds.
This shitcrazy group of extreme jacuzziers have just made your Friday. The group, who are members of the organisation, jacuzzi.ch, suspended themselves 153 metres in the air from the Gueuroz Bridge in Switzerland, with naught but cables and ropes keeping them up. They then proceeded to set up a special platform where they chilled, ate cake and drank champagne in a mid-air jacuzzi. Definitely bucket list material.
My friends look at my work and the cars I get to drive and they are generally jealous. Sure, it is a privilege to drive so many cars from so many manufacturers and never have to worry about fuel or insurance or tyres or any of that bothersome nonsense that comes with car ownership. Typically, everybody remembers that time when I had the brand new Audi R8 for a week, but nobody remembers when I had to drive a bog-standard Chevy Spark for 9 days. Yeesh.
After having recently bought Fosters, fresh rumours surfaced yesterday that SABMiller might itself face a takeover from Anheuser-Busch InBev, the biggest brewer in the world. SAB shares soared 7% to their highest gain in almost three years as a result.
It’s Nobel Prize Week! Which is when regular people get their egos crushed under the weight of the giants of literature, chemistry, physics, economics, and “peace”. Which sucks. But click through, and you can wow your friends with your knowledge of this year’s Nobel winners, and give that ego a little boost.
If you’re planning to be around to watch the final of the Rugby World Cup this year, then can I suggest you get your sinner on toute suite- something light should do, because Harold Camping has returned with a new prediction for the start of the Rapture. In two weeks time, to be precise: October 21st, 2011. Sorry, rugby fans!
Refugee rights groups are not happy with the South African government right now, since it has quietly begun deporting Zimbabwean refugees again. The Zimbabwean Documentation Project (ZDP), which Home Affairs has been working on for two years, meant that Zim migrants have been shielded from deportation from this country for the last two years.
Tutu’s Birthday Celebrations Begin – Archbishop Desmond Tutu is turning 80 on Friday, with festivities scheduled to take place at St George’s Cathedral in Cape Town.

So, if you thought we had energy problems, there are now con artists selling fake ‘biofuel-producing plants’ in Kwa-Zulu Natal. That was the warning from the KZN provincial government today. The province has urged people to beware of buying alien plants from people claiming they will buy back the vegetation’s by-products to be used as fuel. They are lying.
There has been a mild outcry from some of the five million BBC viewers who tuned in on Tuesday night for The Great British Bake Off finale. They’re not that impressed that they had to witness a relatively prolonged close-up shot of a squirrel that had quite a large package.
This morning we told you that Peter Davies has become the second Supersport Rugby World Cup anchor in as many months to be taken off air.

According to several news sites, Davies allegedly exposed his genitals and masturbated in front of a 15-year-old boy.
Because it’s important to learn about economic disparity from an early age, Sesame Street will introduce an indigent Muppet named Lily, who will educate Elmo and the rest about the millions of starving families in America during an hour-long special episode. The letter of the day will be H.
News of Steve Jobs’ death resonated around the world this morning. A sad day for many, but Steve’s death has put tremendous momentum behind the move to have 14 October named as “Steve Jobs Day”.
In another case of “Why didn’t I think of that?”, a Belgian record label that goes by the name of SonicAngel, identifies future stars by tracking trends on Facebook, Twitter and YouTube. Not only that, they also allow fans to invest in the artists’ success, with a six monthly return on their initial investment. Brilliant.
British politics is theatrical at the best of times. They’re dealing with cat-gate at the moment, so it just became even more theatrical. A judge has actually ruled that an illegal immigrant could avoid deportation partly because the judge feared separating him from his pet cat and partner risked “serious emotional consequences”.
India’s most famous tourist attraction, the 358-year-old Taj Mahal, will collapse within five years unless something drastic is done. The wooden foundation is becoming brittle and disintegrating due to a lack of water. This is because the river crucial to its survival is being blighted by pollution, industry and deforestation.
One of 2oceansVibe’s most celebrated Weather Girls, Genevieve Morton (see her award-winning Weather Girls video here), has been chosen as the cover girl for the latest Sports Illustrated swimwear issue. I can’t say I’m overly surprised, but I thought we’d interview Gen for the 2oceansVibers out there. Click ‘continue reading’ to read the interview and […]
That’s right folks – we’re not mucking about here.
