The reports […]
Taxi Violence will be paying yet another visit to 2oceansVibeRadio.com this evening on The Rock Dimension, hosted by Gary Cool and The Passion. And in their own words, “shit will be talked.” The chatter will be especially interesting, given that last month’s confusion over the alleged announcement of Taxi Violence as the official support band […]
This morning Kylie Minogue got down with the Soweto gospel choir, who welcomed her on her arrival in Johannesburg a few hours ago. She tweeted this rather festive picture of herself dancing with the singers, obviously having a great time. Wonder who’ll greet her at CT International next week. The possibilities are endless.
There is a lot you can do with an iPhone these days and there is a lot that Australians will do for a beer or two. Not too long ago those clever buggers even invented a pair of slip slops that could open a beer. Naturally, they have now merged their love of beer with their iPhones.
They never thought it possible.. I mean how could a jackpot ever go over the previous biggest EuroMillions lottery winner’s jackpot? We all remember the anonymous ticketholder who scooped a £113million prize last October. But it has gone bigger, with ongoing rollovers breaking records on a weekly basis. Friday’s jackpot is now sitting on an […]
A Dutch TV show looking for the “worst driver in the Netherlands” has found a clear winner. During filming of the last episode, this guy had to accelerate up to speed, apply the brake and swerve to miss a giant obstacle. Instead of breaking, he opted for accelerating – ploughing into the camera crew set up, hitting two people, including the host, and one parked car.
Shell Fracking Ads Banned – Anglo-Dutch energy giant Shell was ordered on Wednesday to withdraw claims about controversial shale gas drilling in an advertisement carried in several South African newspapers.

A massive sand storm, called a “Haboob”, wreaked havoc in Phoenix, Arizona when it came roaring through the desert like an apocalyptic nightmare on Tuesday night. The massive storm resulted in absolute chaos, delaying flights and causing power outages across the city.
That’s right fellow civilians, superheroism is no longer reserved for super-babies in rockets from other planets. The days of microwaving spiders, trying to recreate Spidey’s powers are over! Behold, now you too can slip out during your lunch break and save the world, and all it will cost you is a ticket to the Big Apple.
Moscow’s mighty 10-lane Ring Road is famous for rather large volumes of traffic, and this morning was no different, except that this morning, fake money was responsible for the chaos. Russian radio station Echo Moskvy reported that scores of drivers hurriedly left their vehicles during peak hour traffic to gather what looked like 1000-ruble notes.
Love or hate them – horror movies have become ingrained in popular culture to the point that spine-tingling one-liners like “Hi, I’m Chucky, wanna play?”, “Heeeeeeeeere’s Johnny!”, “I see dead people.”, “It’s alive! It’s alive!” and “They’re heee-re.” have become jokes. How else do you explain another Scream sequel?
One of the things that makes wine stand out in the world of beverages is its ability to age and develop. It is a miraculous thing, tasting something older than you are (frustratingly, this gets more difficulty and expensive as you shuffle along the mortal coil). To taste a living thing formed by the elements […]
After what seems like an eternity, my good friend Mikhail will finally have to stop bitching about the fact that Sharks forward, Jean Deysel, has been left out of the Springbok squad.
“When it snows in East London” is a bit like saying “When hell freezes over”. That is, it never happens (not what you thought I was saying). But this week, the windy city has experienced unusually low temperatures coupled with unbelievable snowfall. Click through for photos of Vincent Park shopping centre in the aftermath of flooding and snow yesterday.
Just when it appeared that American moral fabric couldn’t get any worse, it did. Donna Simpson already holds the honour of being the Guinness Book Of Records’ fattest woman to ever give birth. Now she’s after the record for the world’s most obese woman. Did we mention she gets her daughter to feed her? Can you say child abuse?
You know how sometimes football players take off their shirts after the game and swop them with other players or fans? That happens at the FIFA Woman’s World Cup too. The only difference is that when it happens there, former pin-up models, like Josefine Öqvist, are the ones stripping down…
While the rest of us have been wondering whether or not people are born gay, India’s Health Minister has know all along: that it is in fact a disease from the West. The only thing he is still struggling with is identifying sufferers from this illness as it is “difficult to find them because you don’t know who is doing it and where they are.”
Monkey Steals Camera And Takes Pics Of Himself – A macaque monkey in Indonesia took a camera from a wildlife photographer before snapping himself in a variety of poses.

This article is not about pediatric math equations. Promise. It’s about an Australian study that shows a link between gum disease and poor fertility, with a little comparison to obesity thrown in as well. Read on if you forgot to floss this morning ladies.

Anyone can take part, there’s lots of prizes to be won (iPods, iPads, bucketloads of BOS) and it’s fun, silly and very interactive. Rob van Vuuren and Louw Venter (of Corné & Twakkie fame) showcase the art […]
You know how this one goes, right? There is a house in Orange Grove. They call it The Radium… The Radium is reputedly the oldest surviving beer hall and grill in Johannesburg, and unlike places like The Brazen Head, it genuinely has that aged feel. The chairs and tables creak ominously under the weight of the patrons and the food. The pavement outside is littered with ash and the odd beggar. The only things they seem to have added in the last 20 years are a stainless steel urinal and the big TVs. It is exactly my type of place to hang out.
Would you trade the ability to produce children in exchange for the cheapest car in the world? In an attempt to curb high birth rates in India, a “competition” has just been launched: any male or female undergoing sterilisation procedures will stand the chance to win a Tata Nano. They are hoping to attract 30 000 entries – problem is there is only one car.
The 2011 Tour De France didn’t start very well for a number of competitors on Saturday, after an over-eager spectator leaned in too close, causing a massive pile-up that brought down dozens of competitors.
Not many true guitar gods have walked this earth. In the hands of these rare beings, the guitar is more than a six stringed musical instrument; it is a source of immense power, a weapon of mass destruction, a light saber, the most magical of wands, capable of removing a groupy’s panties with a single […]
Bafana, Benson and Moses are a threesome who really love the finer things in life. Particularly, pricy watches. It appears this Johannesburg trio of thieves will pick up a stray Rolex whenever they get the chance, really. So they were thrilled when their case was struck off the roll in the Pretoria Regional Court yesterday.
