We all have our lapses of judgment. But some of us make such horrendously poor decisions that one simply has to ask, “What were they on?”. Every week we bring you three contenders in what can only be described as a battle of small wits. So, with great pleasure we present this week’s three La […]
The last time the Euromillions lottery rolled-over as many times as this, it went a little further – right up to R1.8 Billion. It was won by a fairly plump couple in Scotland. We bought tickets to that one, and will without doubt be doing the same this time! After all, the chances of winning are […]
Steven Soderbergh’s upcoming film, ‘Contagion,’ needed some promotion because apparently Marion Cotillard’s presence isn’t enough. So, reasonably, Warner Bros hired a couple of microbiologist and immunologists to create billboards filled with growing bacteria and fungi that would spell out promotional messages. Please save your ‘viral marketing’ comments for after class.
The NBC network in the States has greenlit a pilot for a series about a straight woman and her gay female best friend who are “navigating life and love in Los Angeles” called… wait for it… ‘My Best Friend Is A Lesbo’.

Ex-Dior designer, John Galliano, has been found guilty of racism, following remarks he made in a bar.

I was bewildered to hear this afternoon that the Western Cape Community Safety Department managed to misplace more than 2,500 firearms, all within a single year between 2008 and 2009. The department said today, quite rightly, that it was ‘concerned’ that too many police officers were just kind of, losing, their guns.
Lacoste is having a bit of an Abercrombie and Fitch moment and has asked the Norwegian police to prohibit terrorist and mass murderer, Anders Behring Breivik, from wearing their clothes during his court appearances. Breivik seems to consistently wear his red Lacoste sweater with the distinctive crocodile logo on his trips out of prison.
Former Ekurhuleni metro police chief Robert McBride has been sentenced to two years in prison for drunken driving. As you know, he was found guilty in April for drunken driving and defeating the ends of justice. He crashed his government-allocated car on the R511 near Hartbeespoort Dam in Pretoria.
The “commuter pain survey” was undertaken by IBM and is designed to rank the emotional and economic toll of commuting in each city into a pain index. Mexico city came in first, with Nairobi, Beijing, Bangalore and Moscow trailing behind. Jozi came in fourth, with commuters spending an average of thirty-six minutes commuting to work and school every day. When not being hijacked.
Awesome. The Upper Atmosphere Research Satellite (UARS), NASA’s defunct, 60 000 kg baby, will be re-entering Earth’s atmosphere sometime later this month or in early October, and NASA doesn’t really know when or where it’s going to happen. What they do know is that it’s going to leave a 800km-wide debris footprint, somewhere. Heads up.

Horsemanning, Owling and Planking are like, so last Tuesday. The art of Batmanning is simple, hook your feet onto an object and hang upside down. The trick? Don’t die. It seems a group calling themselves the Batman Broilers is claiming responsibility. Lets take a minute to laugh at that name. Okay cool. They did however, make a pretty cool video, check it after the jump.
It looks as if 2oceansVibe was right when we thought that Old Spice was going to start using multiple spokespersons for the continuation of their viral campaign. Isaiah Mustafa versus Fabio came and went, but the show must go on for how ordinary guys can be transformed by the brand’s scents. Introducing: Sea Captain.
You gotta love it when local companies beat Telkom not only on speed, but also undercut them with line rental prices. I mean seriously, how do you do that? It’s hilarious! We just received word from our official hosting partners, RSAWEB, that they have launched the cheapest ADSL line rental in South Africa. That is […]
Bakkies Botha’s chronic Achilles’ tendon problem flared up once again at training earlier this week. It now looks like he will almost certainly miss South Africa’s rugby World Cup opener against Wales on Sunday. There is also an injury concern over winger Brian Habana, who also had not taken a full part in training this week.
In the aftermath of last Friday’s plane crash off the island of Robinson Crusoe, Chile, officials have stated that no effort would be spared in the rescue/recovery of the 17 passengers. This apparently includes using the Find My iPhone app to isolate the coordinates of one of the passenger’s last known whereabouts before the crash.
Film geeks have unearthed India’s first sci-fi film, Hindi space adventure Trip to Moon, made in 1967. And, since it’s unlikely to take Netflix by storm anytime soon (though I fully expect an American re-make by end 2012) they’ve uploaded it to YouTube in full.

As the ten year anniversary of the Twin Towers tragedy looms, a number of previously unpublished photos by Nachtwey have just been released.
OK, so, this is a pretty horrific story, but it has a happy ending. After a 14-year battle, these Chimpanzees have been set free from captivity after being taken from their mothers shortly after their births. They’d been kept in a research facility in Austria, undergone medical testing, been injected with HIV and hepatitis. But, at least they’re happy now.
Drugs are great. Don’t listen to those naysayers who offer hugs instead. Silly. Whoever heard of a hug that produced art, ideas, conversation and discovery? Some may have led to sex, sure, but then I reckon ecstasy wins on that count. Of course, drugs kill people and ruin lives. So do guns, politicians, earthquakes, religion, airline food, ignorance, baseball-bats, well timed punches, badly timed racing drivers, and a host of animals. But none of these things gives us the sheer pleasure while hastening our demise that drugs do. Wine is my drug of choice.
Final Destination 5 – the franchise has come a long way – relying on a tried-and-tested roller-coaster formula that brings audiences back for a thrill ride. The Final Destination, or fourth installment of the series was a serious low – delivering extra cheese with a gimmicky aftertaste that just ruined whatever credibility Final Destination had […]
We know 2oceansVibe readers are world jet-setters with zero time for hassles. Being robbed in your hotel room is a hassle. Most rooms come standard with a safe as seen in this video. You simply punch in a new pin, and hey presto, your belongings are supposedly protected. But are they? It seems most of them also have a “reset” code consisting of five zeros.
