A million dollars? Please. That’s not cool. Helicopter rides. THOSE, those are cool. “But Helicopter rides are so expensive!“, I hear you whinge. That is true, but you and I both know that it’s not a matter of price when it comes to experiencing the wonder of flight as a homo sapien. The price doesn’t […]
The video you are about to see is in one word…brilliant. It chronicles the last 100 years in fashion in 100 seconds.

It’s not just feature films that are receiving the re-make treatment these days, but also classic TV series. This week we take a look at the latest outing for crime-busting trio (or should that be ‘busty’?), Charlie’s Angels.
This yacht is called ‘Latitude‘ and it rents at R2 million a week. Rihanna recently paid that price for a couple weeks which is pretty cool for her, but even cooler for the guy that owns the yacht. And that is why I must ask the question, do you play the local South African lottery, […]
The cleanup of the oil spill at Bloubergstrand continues, and City of Cape Town Disaster teams are still assessing whether the beach can be re-opened this afternoon.

This coming Sunday marks the 10th anniversary of the attacks by al-Qaeda on the United States of America, and New York especially. Many iconic images depicting the terror of that day sit steadfast in all of our minds, but what is wrong with a photographer portraying a different kind of moment on that day?
Van Halen first sang about the rite of passage in 1984, but every schoolboy (and girl) will be able to remember when they were hot for teacher.

In just under four days the Rugby World Cup kicks off in New Zealand. And, as you’ll see inside, people are finding all kinds of creative ways to show their excitement! Treat yourself to a very impressive “haka flash mob” as well as a rugby remake of “Living Next Door To Alice” after the jump.
I know, I know; can you really steal art from somebody as dangerous and transgressive as Banksy? Two of his pieces, put together during his 2007 project on the West Bank, Bethlehem Santa’s Ghetto, have popped up in a show called Banksy: Original Street Works, at the Keszler Gallery. In the Hamptons.

Low stress levels are an essential part of living the holiday. That is why Seth spent months on the road in Cape town and Johannesburg, outsourcing the best possible short-cuts (MINI Routes!) for you to save time and avoid traffic. We did six in Johannesburg and six in Cape Town. Some of these secret routes are […]
You can imagine the New Mexico police chief was shocked when a security video of the officer and the woman surfaced. The irony here is that the officer, known only as ‘Lopez’, was recently given the title of 2009’s police officer of the year. He was also awarded a ‘challenge’ coin for going over and above the call of duty. That’s what she said.

Previously known as the breakthrough company for holiday reviews, TripAdvisor has come under attack for false reviews quite a bit recently, and been sued quite a bit too. Now the British advertising watchdog, the Advertising Standards Authority, has launched a formal investigation into the hugely popular travel review website because the company is probably in breach of the advertising code.
Being a teen mother is tough! especially if you’re also having trouble finding an outfit to wear for later when you go out with your friends. The solution, according to Jessica Callaway from the US, is to blow marijuana into your ten month-old baby girl’s mouth to “calm her down”.
Sleek, compact design, leather seats, carbon fiber chassis. This is what a baby needs in a stroller today, right? This is the future? Swedish designer Dawid Dawod thinks so, having collaborated with Porsche Design to put together the P’4911 for parents with their fiscal priorities in order.
Relations have never been better between the media and ANCYL followers. With supporters threatening journalists with comments such as, “We are going to beat you all by the end of the day because you are writing lies,” and rumours this morning of people gathering stones to throw at media reporting on the Malema discplinary hearing, the vibe between league supporters and journos is just awesome right now.
I love Postsecret. I’ll just put that right there. It’s an ongoing community art project that started in the States in 2005. Now, after almost seven years of receiving the secrets, Postsecret are releasing their very own app for iPhone.
The National Disciplinary Committee has dismissed comrade Julius Malema’s application to have the charges that have been brought against him dropped. In what represents yet another blow to the embattled youth league leader, he’ll probably be staying in and drinking some hot chocolate this evening, contemplating what life holds in store for him next.
A new game show in the Netherlands features contestants who are currently seeking asylum in the country. The format is that of a quiz show, and the prize is a not-too-shabby R40 000. The only problem is the winning contestant has to move back to his or her own country to go spend it. Nice one, Netherlands.
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 president and CEO of Texas Armoring Corporation wanted to put potential customers’ minds at ease about the efficiacy of his company’s bullet-resistant glass. So, like any other sane person, he got one of his employees to shoot at him with an AK-47 while he stood behind the glass.
The Ass Foods saga continues. Late last June, 2oceansVibe was forwarded a little but of spice by prominent Cape Town personality, Bartlett.

The device, which is due to be released shortly, was supposedly lost in a San Francisco tequila bar and then sold to Craigs List, an internet listings company. Apple engineers were reportedly franticly trying to get it back. Duh. This isn’t the first time a prototype has been ‘lost’, in April last year the iphone 4 was ‘found’ in a beer garden and sold to Gizmodo for $5000. Sneaky.
Following the enormous success of What’s The Vibe with the US Debt Crisis and What’s The Vibe With Rupert Murdoch, our host Lindsay Williams tackles the biggest headline of the day – Libya. What exactly is the vibe with Libya? Click video below to check it out on 2oceansvibe TV.
