Normally, when one goes to rehab, it’s to break the cycle of abuse and addiction, not to test out some hallucinogenic drug for a week to see if it distracts you from your other addictions. But, if you’re Charlie Sheen’s ex-wife, you probably still have that mindset that you only have one gear: go.
As proud Springbok supporters, South Africa’s leading online radio station, 2oceansvibe Radio, is flattered to learn that the Springbok Squad have been tuning in to 2oceansvibe Radio whilst overseas on tour. Full-time 2oceansvibe Character, and part-time Springbok rugby captain, John Smit, sent through a tweet to Morning Show host, Ian F (ex-5FM), to clear up an […]
Russia’s Prime Minister Vladimir Putin seems to be loved by the ladies. So much so that a new online campaign urges young women to take off their clothes in support of his presidency. In this strange video, a sexy blond can be seen scribbling “I will tear my clothes off for Putin” on a white top in red lipstick before starting to undo her clothes.
Whistleblower found dead Phone Hacking Scandal Whistleblower Found Dead – A former News of the World journalist who made phone-hacking allegations against the paper has been found dead. Sean Hoare told the New York Times the practice was far more extensive than the paper acknowledged when police first investigated hacking claims. [bbc] The Sun Hacked – […]
The world of ridiculous internet trends is a highly competitive one. There’s photo bombing, fail videos, planking, and most recently owling – all highly popular in their day, but now quickly becoming old news. I’m told the current meme flavour is called “leisure diving”, and involves jumping into a body of water whilst striking a “leisure pose” in mid-air. Examples inside.
By now you are probably familiar with the chaos surrounding Rupert Murdoch’s empire of media companies, including the hacking scandal that has seen “The News of the World” shut its doors after more than 150 years. So it’s only a matter of time before someone makes a movie out of the whole debacle. This is what it would look like.
We’re pretty tight with Jack Daniel, here at 2oceansvibe. By now you should be fully aware that we have been liberating people on Friday afternoons – kidnapping people from their offices and generally enforcing Jack Daniel’s (and our) belief that people should not be working on Friday afternoons. But we’re not the only ones doing […]
If you think that owning an iPhone is a waste of money, think again. An American company called Health Discovery Corporation has invented an app, called MelApp, that uses mathematical algorithms and image based pattern recognition technology, to detect early stage melanoma. What’s that? Can’t get an American iTunes account? Oh yes you can.
This will be the last time you will get to witness this phenomenon as it’s been reported that Atlantis will undock earlier than planned from the International Space Station tomorrow. This will earmark its return from its final mission into space ahead of the start of privatised space courier services next year.
Like bootleggers from the olden days, three American girls recently set up an illegal lemonade stand. They actually had the audacity to try and pawn their goods off to the unsuspecting public WITHOUT a city food and beverage permit! Luckily, good police work took care of that and the girls’ illegal and dodgy activities have now been brought to an end.
This is the latest Mastercard ad, running on New Zealand television at the moment – ahead of the 2011 Rugby World Cup. Pretty cool that they talk about the 1995 World Cup without mentioning anything about food poisoning. Follow the link to check it out.
The image of Jesus has appeared on some very random items in the past including a piece of bubblegum, a Kit Kat Chunky, and even an iron. But, according to an American couple, JC has now appeared on a discarded Walmart shopping receipt. What’s even freakier is the fact that they first saw the image just as they came home from church one morning!
I was checking out the Name Your Hood website this weekend and must say, the 200+ names that have already been put forward for the the first two neighbourhoods in the project (Hood 1: the area above Saigon on Kloof Street & Hood 2: the area around Heritage Square between Buitensingle and Strand) are just […]
Today the DA will ask Sars to investigate the fearless ANC Youth League leader, Julius Malema’s finances. According to the party’s police spokesman, the DA has information that points to Malema building a 16 million Rand mansion, complete with panic room.
The Springboks customarily receive a flurry of questions from Australian media, and a warm welcome from South African expats, when landing in Sydney. Not so much yesterday, when they arrived at around 8pm local time to be greeted by green and gold wearing…crickets. “Where is everybody?” joked captain John Smit.
Yesterday, the Sunday Times carried a story about a dog attack. A four-year-old girl was mauled by a Rottweiler in the upmarket Hyde Park shopping centre last Monday. But what was unique about this? The dog’s handler is a dog whisperer and also claims to be “Africa’s number one dog expert.”
Cape Town Fashion Week 2011 Jenny le Roux’s Habit collection was a hit [popyacollar] Cape Town Fashion Week 2011 – Fashionistas collapsed in a heap this Sunday, as Cape town Fashion Week 2011 came to an end. By all accounts it was a raging success. 2oceansvibe’s first choice in online fashion, PopYaCollar was there and […]
I do feel sorry for the people out there who didn’t play the EuroMillions lottery over the last couple of weeks, as it rolled over and over, resulting in a jackpot of R1.8 Million (EUR 182 Million). They bitched and moaned about how stupid it was to enter the lottery, while we discussed buying $100 […]
On Thursday, the Mexican Defense Department reported that soldiers have found the largest weed plantation ever detected in Mexico. The huge field covers an astonishing 300 odd acres (120 hectares), and would have been worth about $160 million if it had been harvested and brought to market.
Michael Wolff is a very influential American journalist who has lately been doing a lot of television interviews. This makes sense, seeing as he wrote a biography of media mogul Rupert Murdoch two years ago, titled “The Man Who Owns the News”. But see what happens when the BBC wrongly introduces him live on air as Ben Walker, baseball editor for the Associated Press! Awkward.
Quick on the draw, as usual, Nando’s has had a little dig at the ex real Cell C CEO. Lars Reichelt, who announced his sudden and immediate resignation this week, will return home to Switzerland to spend more time with his family. He’ll be watched though.
Many of you may know the frustration of having your video removed from YouTube, simply because you used some insignificant part of someone else’s song. Now Lady Gaga knows exactly how you feel, even worse, she’s had her entire account suspended by YouTube.
When opening a sex museum in a country where, publicly, sex almost doesn’t exist, you had better make sure that it’s as offensive as possible, since controversy is sure to follow. I’m pretty sure naming it Tochka G, meaning G-spot in Russian, and covering the walls with images of Putin sword-dick-fighting Obama, should do the trick.
Most pre-season preparation has begun for northern hemisphere football teams that will shortly start their new seasons. Coincidentally, Spanish soccer club Real Madrid are in Los Angeles to face LA Galaxy on Saturday. They decided to train on the UCLA campus in preparation for the match. And drive golf carts around, into someone, with perfect timing.
The pressure finally got to the fiery red-headed Rebekah Brooks. In the last few minutes news agency Reuters has officially announced that News International CEO Rebekah Brooks has resigned and will be replaced by Tom Mockridge. This comes after a scathing attack in an apparent four-page letter from Elisabeth, and the second biggest NI shareholder declaring “she has to go.”
I was chatting about this with a good acquaintance last night who used to own a Mercedes AMG, and had since toned his taste down a bit because he had had a massive crash and didn’t want to own fast cars anymore. He said he’d kill himself yadda yadda. That logic is ridiculous, and I told him so.
Fox News’ Eric Bolling recently decided that one of the guests on his show was being too mean to George W. Bush. So he spoke up in defense of the weapons of mass destruction eff up. Try spotting the slight error in this statement: “America was certainly safe between 2000 and 2008. I don’t remember any terrorist attacks on American soil during that period of time.”
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 […]
Yesterday we received this harrowing report from Europe by a brave 2oceansViber. Before you continue, note that we indemnify ourselves from any angst or emotional complications that you may suffer as a result of reading the following letter.
When he’s not letting us know that he’ll be on holiday, President Jacob Zuma harnesses the power of the presidential twitter feed to promote the dramatic accomplishments of his progeny. Sweet, man. Check out the tweet after the jump.
