Look, I’ve talked extensively about this […]

We love a good mug shot here over at 2oceansvibe. Paris Hilton’s array still being amongst our favourites, admittedly, but this dude is rolling with quite a mesmerising vibe. Half a ‘fro actually. We’re sure there’ll be a couple of guys on the inside having a good laugh at his expense.
He might have been competent enough to run a major theatre in South Africa, but someone forgot to mention to Matjamela Motloung that when you type anti-Semitic rants on your Facebook page, other people can also read the statement.

A 2oceansviber sent me this clip from The Other Guys. I thought it might be the opening five minutes of the film, which is arguably the most awesome first five minutes of a film in cinematic history. Alas, it was not. But my God I completely forgot about this PEARLER of a scene! Please enjoy..

Links between these two high rollers have been gossiped about and reported on before. It’s no big secret that shortly after his 2006 arrest on rape charges, JZ made a shimmy over to Tripoli for five days where he met with Colonel Gaddafi. Now JZ and the Colonel have had a little phone conversation.
Have you ever walked on a road with your bare feet in summertime, and noticed how much heat the tar holds? That heat is an expression of solar energy, received from the sun, held in the conducive asphalt, and radiated back on to your toes. We’re wasting that energy, but hopefully for not much longer.
Politicians cheat on occasion, and I don’t just mean at cards. Sometimes they sleep with people that they’re not married to. Sometimes politicians condemn their peers for adultery, only to be caught in the very same act some time later.
Well, I mean not totally – it’s the evidence found on Facebook as grounds for the dissolution of marriage which causes 20% of all divorce cases in the US, but still. Big number.

I first heard about their new music video on News24, but that story was to do with the fact that Die Antwoord’s new music video, ‘Rich Bitch,’ could not be viewed in South Africa.

Aside from hunting, interbreeding and kicking back in caves, looks like our ancestors were totally into hallucinogenics. Researchers have been analysing cave paintings in Spain, and have come to the conclusion that our long lost relatives weren’t adverse to dabbling with ‘magic mushrooms’ from time to time.
Everybody loves a little bit of sensationalism, especially when the majority of news starts becoming rather bland and repetitive. Take for example the way The Sun headlined this piece: “Disaster as moon closes in” – awesome vibe. Fact is though, that no disaster should technically happen and surfers should actually be getting amped for a mission, bru.
Is it a bird? Is it a plane? Is it Superman? It’s Wednesday – so it must be an alien invasion. In Hollywood, alien invasions have become even more commonplace than UFO sightings. Just over the last few years, there’s been a resurgence in alien interest – spurred on by the success of movies like […]

Because the Swedish word for ‘eco-friendly’ also means ‘traumatic’ and ‘awesome.’
