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.

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”.

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 Ass Foods saga continues. Late last June, 2oceansVibe was forwarded a little but of spice by prominent Cape Town personality, Bartlett. Bartlett told us that he intended to lay a complaint with the Advertising Standards Authority of South Africa regarding the offensive (and frankly, traumatising) Ass Wrap packaging at the Steenberg Pick n Pay.
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.

Previously, Mussolini’s mistress, Claretta Petacci, claimed this wasn’t so. Mussolini’s youngest son however seems to know something that she didn’t.
Titled ‘ We Shall Never Forget 9/11: The Kids’ Book of Freedom’, this absolute joke is timed to coincide with the attacks’ tenth anniversary.

Despite topping the user charts with over 750 million users, social networking monolith, Facebook, is rolling out a range of new services to keep its users happily posting, perving and otherwise wasting valuable hours of productivity.
Given that we are currently tidying up a new series for 2oceansvibe TV (2oceansvibe.tv) called The Compound (inspired by The Office), it is quite cool to note that The Office creator, Ricky Gervais, linked to us from his blog.

Two weeks ago Precious Msibi was forced by her HR manager of all people to strip naked in front of colleagues, including males – during Woman’s Month!
