Break-ups can sometimes turn very nasty. Take this guy for instance – he appeared on a billboard slamming his ex.The featured photograph shows him holding the outline of an infant, along with text that reads, “This Would Have Been A Picture Of My 2-Month Old Baby If The Mother Had Decided To Not KILL Our Child!” That’s pretty harsh! See pic inside.

In an exemplary case of ‘Stand By Your Man’, Stacey Giggs has dismissed allegations that her footballer husband Ryan conducted an eight year affair with his brother’s wife. The Manchester United star has denied sister-in-law Natasha’s accusations that he cheated on his wife repeatedly with her. And apparently Stacey believes him. Let’s see how long that lasts.
Jet-packs are a big deal for us. We’ve talked about “the jet-pack issue” before, and you should bend your ears to listen. The term “jet-pack issue” could easily be substituted for a term like “the freedom issue”, or “the liberation from the constraints of our bodies issue”. The latest development is that a feasible jet-pack […]
To all the overworked and swamped scholars in South Africa, we’d like to say please hang on a little bit longer – help is on the way! The education department has announced that students will now also get June 17 and August 8 off from school. This is due to the those dates’ “proximity to public holidays”.
One of the many perks of writing is the freedom to grace an article with the headline it deserves. Many media outlets have covered this story, but nobody has called it what it is. Every single one of us who buys a new car in South Africa today is being screwed. It’s called a Green […]
It is important that you watch videos like this, because it will give you ideas for when you win one of the overseas lotteries. Donald Trump has just bought himself a new Boeing 757 Private Jet for $100 Million. So with some of the big overseas lottery jackpots (they go up to $250 Million) you […]
Acclaimed comedy group, The Brothers Streep, made an appearance on The Mark Bayly Show on 2oceansVibe Radio yesterday afternoon, which is a significant upgrade from their appearance on BBC’s Graham Norton show (that’s a joke). In between gulps of wine and pieces of chocolate, Simon and Dylan managed to crack out excellent acoustic renditions of […]

A man who suffered from both Leukaemia and HIV seems to have been cured of HIV, after he received a unique type of bone marrow transplant.
Seriously. Check it out…
With Digicape taking care of the vibe since 2008, it’s a given that the 2oceansvibe Media compound is Mac ‘verskrik.’ It is for that very reason, and the fact that the world agrees with us (Apple is now worth more than Microsoft and Intel combined) that we wish to give you this video and full […]
Wow. How something like this even happens, I’m not even sure. But, it is both hilarious, and an epic fail. During a Fox News report on 2012 American presidential candidates, Fox News displayed a picture of Tina Fey playing Palin on an episode of Saturday Night Live instead of showing an actual picture of Sarah Palin. Awkward.
Apple Launches iCloud: Data In Forefront, Devices In Background – The long, strange trip that has been Apple’s implementation of cloud computing seems to have finally hit the road Monday with a full-throttled embrace of a paradigm one might not expect from a hardware manufacturer: Your computing life is merely enabled by the devices you […]
With Gary Kirsten named as coach and AB de Villiers as skipper for our ODI and T20 sides, you’ll be happy to know that they’ve got more than enough decent support behind them. Hashim Amla was appointed vice-captain, while Alan Donald and Russell Domingo got drafted as assistant coaches. Graeme Smith remains captain of the Test side.
I shall not for a moment attempt to feign journalistic integrity here. This is the kind of thing the public loves. Allegations that King Carl Gustaf of Sweden has been visiting strip clubs and having affairs has the media baying for blood and the public frothing at the mouth.
You guys remember photographer Sacha Goldberger and his depressed grandmother, right? He took photos of her dressed as a superhero to cure her depression. And it seemed to work! Which is why Goldberger and Mamika have released another round of pretty rad faux-superhero photographs. There’s a superdog now, too.
Ryan Giggs is back in the media doghouse, and with good reason, it seems. Following yesterday’s news of the football star’s alleged eight year affair with his sister-in-law, his brother Rhodri has called off his marriage to wife Natasha. According to reports, Rhodri is devastated and can’t get over the extent of his very public humiliation by both wife and brother.
Fuck pub quizzes and all who go to them. I’ve been holding on to that thought for as long as I have been in Johannesburg, which is as long as the Barclays Premier League season of 2010-2011 has run. And now that the season is over, I feel the need to tell pub quiz enthusiasts where to get off.
Evolutionary biologist Richard Dawkins, along with 13 other professors is planning to open a new university in London at the end of next year. All of the professors will teach and their aim is to offer the “highest-quality” education to “gifted” students. For those hoping to obtain anything other than a BA – sorry. They are only offering humanities degrees.
I know this isn’t the worst thing to happen to French civil liberties by a long shot, but still; the interpretation of a law prohibiting ‘commercial advertising’ – which, in effect, will mean that newsreaders may no longer mention Facebook or Twitter, unless the story is about Facebook or Twitter – makes total social media sense. Total.
I can’t help it. I have to write about this. It’s too good not to write about. Insanity is always funny. In this case the insanity comes once more from the king’s jester, Julius. He said yesterday that he didn’t drive white people away from voting for the ANC, because they never voted for the ANC in the first place.
UN Declares Internet Access A Human Right – A United Nations report said Friday that disconnecting people from the internet is a human rights violation and against international law.

Gary Kirsten was announced as the Proteas cricket coach early this morning. Kirsten lead the Indian team to a ICB Cricket World Cup victory earlier in the year, and was hailed by players and administrators in that country as one of the greatest coaches ever to walk an Indian change room.
For once, news that seems to be too good to be true, actually is true. The ANC has done a little back-peddle today and called for an extension to the June 24 deadline to complete the drafting of the Protection of Information Bill. Jimmy Manyi must be beside himself at the moment.
We were blown away with the ferocity of the competitions in this week’s Jack Friday giveaway, so much so that there are a few honourable mentions, namely @wickedjon, who has the best boardroom chair we’ve ever seen. And then of course, @thelawry stunned us with his cunning use of technology to a) show us that he’s […]
