Prince William seems like a decent bloke. Genetically though, he’s been dealt a difficult hand by life, in all her ruthless vagary. His father, Prince Charles – on the occasion of his painful press conference to mark his engagement to the fragrant, dim-witted, but virginal Lady Diana Spencer – so infamously replied to the question […]
“A sergeant came around from the charge office and walked out of the station. He didn’t say anything, but walked to her passenger window. He shot her upper arm and it looked like the bullet went through her breast and out of her chest.” Sipho Baloyi, car guard and witness to the fatal shooting outside the Kempton Park Police Station.
South Africa is a pretty awesome place. Where else in the world could a new life form be discovered in a truck stop wall, for instance? The green guy to my left is called a Mantophasmatodes. He has a face similar to a praying mantis and a body similar to a stick insect.
South African author Lauren Beukes’ novel Zoo City has won the 2011 Arthur C. Clarke Award, awarded to the best science fiction novel of the year published in the UK. This is a sort of huge deal – past winners of the award include Kuzuo Ishiguro, Iain M Banks, and China Mieville.
Police had to step in yesterday when a group of ANC supporters attempted to stop a DA rally from taking place in the Mamelodi Township in Pretoria. This is just a blip on the South African political radar that will quickly be forgotten, but it gave me pause for thought.
Sony Playstation Network Hacked – Credit Card Details Lost – Sony has warned users of its PlayStation network that their personal information, including credit card details, could have been stolen.

What ever happened to the old adage, “If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it.”? The original Arthur is a Dudley Moore comedy classic with that hauntingly beautiful theme tune, Arthur’s Theme by Christopher Cross. So why spoil it by camping things up with Russell Brand?
SpaceX – the guys who last year became the first to launch a private spaceship into orbit and bring it home – are planning on sending humans to Mars within 10 to 20 years, according to a Wall Street Journal interview with CEO Elon Musk. These guys have an X in their name, so we should take them seriously.
Don’t you just love a good small town monster story? If any of you drove through the Karoo over the Easter weekend, you may have been lucky enough to catch a glimpse of the shape-shifting creature which has reportedly been terrorising the town of Steytlerville since the end of March.
This new feature will be available to all Facebook users and it’s been designed to make sharing easier, and a little more private. Its social networking architecture will work best with Facebook’s Groups function that was introduced last October, but don’t expect it to make streamlined advertising any harder either.
It’s definitely the bigger Murcielago, and judging by this new side-view of the car on the flatbed, I’m also guessing its the convertible version.
Photographer Frank Marshall has been shooting Botswana’s metal scene for his upcoming “Visions of Renegades” show in Johannesburg. Meet some of his subjects, Dead Demon Rider and Maximum – two of the fiercest (and most fashionable) Botswana men around – and see them strut their stuff inside.
We heard a rumour that a Lambo ended tyres-up after an accident on De Waal drive. The Twitterverse has been kind to us and we have a picture from the scene of the accident. We sincerely hope everyone involved walked away unharmed!
A couple of videos of young women dancing without shirts at a traditional Thai festival have gone viral – and despite the fact that this festival is one honouring Thai goddesses that are often depicted dancing without shirts, authorities have condemned the act, fining the dancers and threatening the photographer with jail time.
When Cleo Australia decided to name their 50 most eligible bachelors, they thought that it would be a good idea to have a man standing next to two hot women, with his bulging tackle only contained by a pair of gold pants. The only problem is that what was created was a “vagipenis”.
So the royal guest list has been announced and I am pleased to report that South African born pilot, Charlie Strachan, has been invited. Charlie, who works for Kenya-based Tropic Air, befriended the prince two years ago, when William went for a hike in Kenya.
The success of ass flavoured foods and products sweeping the nation has clearly led to complacency of sorts. Here we see a local Spar confidently selling ‘yesterday’s’ ass cake! THAT’S how good it is. Will it replace the all-time leftover food winner, pizza? Only time will tell..
Two Sunday World journalists reported on Sunday that they saw a church leader, and self-styled prophet, Paseka Motsoeneng, insert his fingers into the vaginas of two female congregants as part of a ritual he performed to expel the demons that had allegedly possessed their “biscuits”. The pastor also has a television show on Soweto TV on DSTV channel 150.
A rumor is floating around the physics community that the world’s largest atom smasher may have detected something called the Higgs boson. Also known as the “God particle”, it has long eluded physicists who believe it could explain why objects have mass. It was apparently crucial to forming the cosmos after the Big Bang took place.
Human Cannonball Dies As Safety Net Fails – The accident happened during a show put on by Scott May’s Daredevil Stunt Show at the Kent County Showground in Detling on Monday. The 23-year-old man was flown by air ambulance to Maidstone Hospital, but later died from his injuries. A Kent Police spokesman said: “A man taking part […]
I wonder how many people asked that question on Sunday, when presented with that morning’s Sunday Times front page? I certainly did. But once my eyes had zoomed-in on the photo caption, I was reassured that the man was not Jay-Z’s new son-in-law, but rather the jeweler who sponsored her diamonds for the day. Good […]
It was at 02h33 just this morning when Dead American Writers cut through my sleep. I reached out to grab my ringing cellphone, my senses still dulled and drugged by the heavy slumber I had been so rudely pulled out of. Who the hell would call me at that hour? Was it my colleagues, about to breathlessly announce that we need a story chop-chop? Were the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse upon us? Had Nelson Mandela finally passed on?
Botanists around the world must be giggling excitedly at this truly once-in-a-lifetime event. The Titan Arum plant, also known as the Corpse Flower, has unfurled its leaves and is in full bloom for the first time in 75 years. Its smell is described as “a pungent odour of rotting flesh.” Lovely. More pics inside.
Walking train-wreck Lindsay Lohan got sentenced to 120 days in jail for violating her drunk driving probation. This is just a sideshow, as the real reason everyone was in court was to see if her trial for stealing a necklace will be going ahead. Which it will, on May 11. She got out on bail […]
Please enjoy this little vibe that Her Majesty, Queen Elizabeth rustled up, in order to give William and Kate’s marriage the go ahead. She refer to Kate as ‘trusty’ and peppers it with words like ‘realm’ and ”reign’ and ‘defender of the faith.’ All the bells and whistles. Check it out.
The blonde in the middle of that group-shot is cricket legend Allan Lamb‘s daughter, Katie-Ann. It was from a fundraiser shoot she did a couple years back, to raise awareness for breast cancer. Nice. Katie-Ann flew into Jo’burg from England especially to audition for Supersport’s new ‘Lady Rugga” vibe – in search of a female […]
What’s in my bag? Free songs by new Cape Town band Holiday Murray, some fierce guitar sounds courtesy of The Pretty Blue Guns, and a remix of Jack Parrow’s “Cooler As Ekke” that will make you want to bust a move. Yes kids, Easter is here.

This is surely a holiday this poor lady will never forget. After taking ill on a cruise ship exploring Norway, paramedics were called in to take Janet Richardson from Britain to a hospital on the main land. But in the process of transporting her they accidentally dropped her into the minus three degrees Celsius North Sea. She is 73.
2oceansvibe had to turn down business from two different brands this last week. A lot of the haters out there don’t realise that. They don’t think it happens. It does. Constantly. That is why the lovers keep coming back here – because any exposure for any brand is genuine and they don’t mind the advertising. […]
