It has been confirmed that the Hawks and the South African Revenue Services have raided the home of the controversial Durban tycoon Sbu Mpisane and his wife Shaun on Wednesday morning. You’ll know the guy that I’m speaking about. The dude who’s wife bought him a Maserati GranCabrio for his 40th recently.
So you’re a mutant… Shame. Genetic anomaly, vat of green liquid goo or ninja turtle – it’s not your fault. You could blame your genes, your father’s tight jeans, the nearest nuclear power station or your mom for dropping you on your head one too many times. Just remember you’re special. No, not “Valentine’s Day” […]
So Joshua Kaufman had his MacBook stolen in March. Which sucks – he reported the crime to the police, but they couldn’t help, due to lack of resources. Except Kaufman has the Hidden app on his MacBook, which lets him remotely stalk and photograph the thief – and put them online. Thanks, Internet.
The moment was like that of a bedraggled and thirsty bandito stumbling across a well in the middle of the Mexican desert. Or Henry Stanley finally finding Dr. David Livingstone. It was catharsis. It was all I could do to stop myself from sinking to my feet and sobbing gently, right there on the sidewalk of 14th Street. I was standing in front of a bona-fide, American issue 2010 Chevy Camaro SS. Click link for rest of article.

UPDATE: Blake’s rep have denied these images are real – more here. The first thing one feels when becoming a big star, is the overwhelming desire to photograph or film yourself nude or having sex. From there, the pics are “leaked” and the press publishes them. TV’s Gossip Girl actress, Blake Lively is the latest […]
The Mother Of The Year title so far for 2011 has to go to this young lass from the UK. She just gave birth to a premature and underweight baby, who also endured carbon monoxide levels SIX TIMES higher than the level considered safe for a baby before birth. Why? Because mum smoked 3 500 cigarettes during pregnancy. Read her priceless reasoning behind it inside.
The Pentagon is due to publically release it’s first formal cyber strategy next month, and the understanding is that it’s going to be classifying some kinds of computer sabotage as acts of war; apparently, a serious enough computer attack could be interpreted as a “use of force” that would warrant physical retaliation.

Multiple news sources reported today that a senior Egyptian general has come forward to confirm that forced “virginity checks” had been performed on women arrested during demonstrations.

We featured pics of Kimbo arriving at LAX Airport the other day and although those sights might have satisfied some of the girls out there, I don’t think it fully gave you what you wanted – which is this – an ultra-zoomed in hi-res pic of the $2million rock in question. Put your sunglasses on […]
There comes a time in any man’s life when he is faced with a difficult moral decision. I was going to attempt to outwit The New York Post’s photograph, headline, and strapline on Tiger Woods, but I won’t. Instead I’ll present it as is, in all its symphonic brilliance. I’ll also give it the official 2oceansVibe stamp of approval for best Tiger Woods-related headline to date. It’s a pleasure.
In my humble opinion, Formula One is a sport unparalleled in prestige, tradition, wealth, gamesmanship, sportsmanship and simple, old fashioned bravado. Sure, it’s had its low moments over the years, but name me a sport which hasn’t. The thing is, all this doesn’t automatically mean good entertainment. However in 2011, they really have got it right. Here’s why.
The concept for a Marlboro cigarrette-swapping smartphone app has been making the rounds – the idea being that social smokers would be able to trade digital cigarettes for real ones using bump technology, and ‘hardcore smokers’ would be able to redeem the digital smokes for real ones once they’d accumulated enough.
Proctologists world-wide get thousands of people every year wandering into their offices with things lodged in their asses saying, “Doc, I really don’t know how it got up there. I just sorta fell on it.” But I really don’t know what to make of this one: A New Zealander very nearly exploded after literally falling on a high-pressure hose.
My extensive collection of sunglasses is well documented, and I can tell you right now, without hesitation, that this new pair of Persol “Steve McQueen‘s” from Sunglass Hut is EASILY one of my favourites. They are the epitome of ‘classic’ and the contrast of the light tortoiseshell frames against the blue lenses make me so […]

Thanks to China, I am officially never complaining about the state of our roads in South Africa ever again. A lorry (pictured) has fallen down a massive fracture in the road which opened up as the truck drove over it. Scary.

Some people will just always be cool. Take this guy for example – when it comes to making an exit, he’s pretty much nailed it. I love how he manages to hold his beer steady, climb THROUGH the car window one leg at a time without failing, and then drive off nonchalantly into the distance. Now that’s a real boss – respect!
You guys remember that shipwreck they found last year in the Baltic, with the 168 odd ancient-but-preserved bottles of champagne? Well I do. And they did. And now two of those fancy old champagne bottles are going on auction because why not?
