The fourth season of True Blood kicks off in America on Sunday night, and it has a South African cast member! No, they haven’t written the tokoloshe into the plot (yet). But they have created a “French-speaking supernatural” who will be played by our very own homegirl, Nondumiso Tembe! And it is not just a once-off appearance…
Did you see that video of Donald Trump’s new private jet? It cost him $100 million. Check it out here. I’ll be buying one if I win tomorrow’s Euromillions lottery which is sporting a €101,000,000 jackpot. You might also be able to buy one if you win. But you need to get a ticket first. […]
Professional Barack Obama impersonator Reggie Brown was invited by the Republican Party to speak at their Leadership Conference in New Orleans over the weekend. Classy birth certificate references and borderline racist jokes ensued, until he was pulled off the stage by a conference official. Come, observe democracy at its high point.
Those of you who read the daily Morning Spice headlines, will remember that on Friday last week, we told you about a posh brawl which broke out at this year’s Royal Ascot, the most famous of English horse racing events. Apparently okes were taking each other on, with table legs and R1,000 bottles of bubbly. […]
It’s not clear exactly what Amy was on when she performed in Belgrade on Saturday night, but whatever it was, it was a lot. During her 90 minute performance, Winehouse managed to mumble mostly and may have even hallucinated a few times too. The next few legs of her European tour have obviously been cancelled.
Surgeon Shits On David Cameron In Hospital [Video] – A senior surgeon interrupted a hospital visit by David Cameron and Nick Clegg to complain that the TV crews filming them were not observing strict hygiene rules.. David Nunn left the Prime Minister and Deputy Prime Minister stunned with his angry outburst during the walkabout at […]
Muammar Gaddafi’s government are in contact across Europe with members of the Libyan rebel army. Earlier this week the head of the World Chess Federation, a man with direct Kremlin links, took Gaddafi on in a ‘diplomatic’ chess game. Maybe his persuasion has helped.
Boy, those Russians are tough! Take this 36 year-old scientist for instance – swimming naked with Beluga whales in minus 1.5 degrees Celsius! Natalia Avseenko wants to explore the possibility of taming them before they are transported to dolphinariums around the world. Why naked? They do not like to be touched by artificial materials such as diving suits, duh!
When we said that we were going to revolutionize the South African work place by lobbying for shorter (read: “nonexistent”) Friday working hours, we weren’t kidding around. Proof? Thanks to the help of our friends at Jack Daniels, and the marvelous Last Word hotel group, we got ourselves a yacht. The Princess Emma, to be […]
If you’re a parent, you’ll know the pain of trying to get children to sleep. It starts by having to give them copious glasses of water. Eventually, after the fifth bedtime story, you’ll end up pleading and begging. But now there’s a bedtime book for you called “Go the F**k to Sleep”, read by none other than Sam Jackson.
We’ve been covering the rise of Ass-Flavoured Products for a while now – and I think we’ve just found the first restaurant to start dealing in this surprisingly popular new flavour with their delightfully picant, ‘Ass Cake Sitdown.’ Please, click through & and be amazed.
Here’s a quick Facebook 101 tutorial. It’s not smart to include hate speech in your conversation with other FB users. Especially if you are, say, a budding journalist. Mail & Guardian intern Ngoako Matsha, who apparently has some pretty strong anti-Semitic views, learned that the hard way this week.
Yes, English security guard Sean Murphy thought it was a good idea to blast off his wart with a shotgun, and in the process, his own finger too. Murphy decided to use a 12-bore Beretta at a Doncaster garden centre to consign the wart to history, along with most of the middle finger on his left hand.
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 […]
Sometimes, the truth really is stranger than fiction. This video – filmed at a wedding in China – features a bride, her groom, and… his boyfriend. The latter basically rocked up to crash the wedding. And crash it he does. High-pitched screeching from all involved ensues, until the groom is forced to make a decision. I promise you won’t be able to guess how it ends!
My primary residence, the Cape Royale Hotel, has been nominated again for the World Luxury Hotel Awards! As with most things here on 2oceansvibe, we like to show our support for the brands we care about and who care about us. My love for the Cape Royale knows no bounds and you need only check […]
Today is the 17th of the month. Instinctively, you know that that means. The Petrol gauge is flirting with the wrong side of the half-mark. The improvised wine-collection is running dry. The packet of cigarettes is looking dangerously roomy, and the Salticrax are beginning to look more austere than opulent. And as the cash-coffers dry […]
South African’s just love their Blackberrys, and annoyingly rave about how cool they are, and constantly put their Blackberry pins up on Facebook, saying, “Just got my BB. Add me guys!” But RIM, the company that makes the annoying device, seems to be in quite the spot of bother.
And they’d been doing so well with the ‘not evil’ thing. Apple’s new patent is for software that would sense when people are trying to film concerts or events with their iPhone, then automatically disable the camera. It’d be nice to see a concert without a thousand iPhones blocking the way, but Big Brother much?
Vancouver Riot ‘Kiss Photograph’ Goes Viral – Lying in the street and seemingly locked in a kiss as chaos erupts around them, a young couple appear oblivious to the charging crowds and baton-wielding riot police. The photograph, taken amid Vancouver’s hockey riots, has been tweeted around the world. But the photographer who took it is still […]
We’re big on tech and progression, here at 2oceansvibe Media, and that is why, 10 months ago, we launched South Africa’s first mainstream internet radio station, 2oceansvibe Radio – with content, talk and music you can actually relate to. Imagine that, a radio station made for YOU! Pandora internet radio in the US is also […]
While the rest of South Africa spent last night enjoying the lunar eclipse, Cape Town was battered by a storm that dropped as much as 50mm of rain in the space of a few hours in places. The storm was accompanied by gale force winds and lighting that have caused widespread damage in parts of the city.
There are people in this world who really do not have very important things to do with their time, as is proven by this woman who called 911 because the Chinese restaurant she was at got her order wrong.
There seems to be no shortage of farmers, businessmen, snake charmers, off-shore call centres and Bollywood movie stars among the world’s second most populous nation of 1.2 billion people. But, they don’t have a single professional hangman left in the whole country who is able to carry out the capital punishment.
This sensational video captures a stolen Team Japspeed Subaru Imprezza weaving between traffic on London’s M25 motorway. The Imprezza was stolen by thieves after being put on display at the Santa Pod Raceway, who managed to find a way of starting the engine, despite it being disabled by engineers.
Source Code is a Duncan Jones movie. Jones is David Bowie’s son, but judging from the critical acclaim generated from his first two movies, he’ll probably be more famous for being a director with Moon and now Source Code under his belt. If Moon was inspired by Solaris and 2001: A Space Odyssey, Source Code […]
Being a paying customer is not as safe as you might think – especially if you aren’t “authorized” to enter a place where you wish to spend your money. Take Cash Converters in Balfour Park, Joburg, as an example. They’ve had so many unauthorized customers in their shop that they’ve now had to invest in some toxic gas, capable of “immobilizing humans.” You’ve been warned.
Australian TV presenter, Karl Stefanovich found himself interviewing the Dalai Lama, as one does, and decided that the best thing to do would be to try that “the Dalai Lama walks into a pizza shop” joke. Take a look and see how well that worked out for him.
An accident has left a woman in a critical condition after musician and Idols presenter ProVerb, whose real name is Tebogo Thekisho, knocked her over on Wednesday morning while driving home from his early morning show on a local radio station. Details of the cause of the accident are yet to emerge.
A man from Hoquiam Washington, carrying a dead weasel, burst into an apartment and assaulted the occupant. As the weasel-wielding attacker burst into the room, the victim said, “Why are you carrying a weasel?” to which the attacker replied, “It’s not a weasel, it’s a marten,” and then punched him in the nose and left the weasel behind. Of course.
