This is it – the footage from SKYNEWS that everyone is talking about – showing the most insane visuals of the tragic March 2011 earthquake in Japan. Starting with a solid wall of water out in the ocean, crashing into land and destroying everything in its path; visuals include entire villages getting flattened, aerial views […]
Initially instituted as a service to monitor the safety of our local and surrounding shorelines during the World Cup last year, the Long Range Identification and Tracking (LRIT) system is a welcomed spin-off from a successful local concept for maritime protection.

News is depressing today, so let’s look at this. GM commissioned the construction of a life-size replica of their Chevrolet Orlando, soon to be launched in the UK; they used about 1000kg of clay to build it over a course of two weeks. It’ll be on display in Essex for a couple more days.
It’s one thing to be a billionaire in say, Zimbabwean dollars. It’s quite another to be a billionaire in US dollars. The 2011 Forbes list of wealthiest people, released this week, includes four South African US dollar billionaires out of a total of 14 Africans on the rich list. Here’s the line-up of our wealthiest locals…
Angry Birds is probably the most popular mobile game at the moment and I am entirely hooked. I have stopped shaving and I don’t bath anymore. I am literally covered in my own filth and surrounded by empty McDonalds Happy Meal boxes. But I finally did take a break when I saw Conan O’Brien’s life-size version of the game. Enjoy.
On this the official hour of the application of the Cape Town Friday Rule, we thought we would spoil you a little. Yes, he’s doing a cooking show because he’s winning television right now. And with lines like: “I killed this cow myself, winners stalk and kill their food without earthly weapons,” get ready for some winning recipes.
I think this might be the best excuse ever. No, really. A Canadian man claims that he only visited child porn websites in order to gather information to send to the authorities. He also downloaded 4 400 images in an attempt to prevent others from doing so – because, you know, once you download something from the internet no one else can.
The response to the initial recruitment drive was phenomenal. It seems quite a lot of peeps out there want to learn how to use their cameras on manual mode. And so you should!

Gang, we’re facing a serious problem. It affects our daily happiness. It affects our ability to be effective human beings. I’m talking about the creeping, evil tendency for wolves among us to insist on work commitments on Friday afternoons. Or on Fridays at all. Don’t these people value life? Look, I’ve talked extensively about this […]
Saeed Yare is a dollar multi-millionaire and I am not. The difference between us: I am but a lowly writer and he is a pirate.

This is just pure class. Sit back and enjoy as Jimmy Kimmel presents the true story of George W. Bush and his lifelong battle with the English language. An uplifting tale of how an inept president overcame his disability thanks to one unlikely speech therapist.
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. And they can make screenshots of the rant, which can be emailed to news outlets in a heartbeat. Read the quote that got him fired inside.
In a press conference in Dharamsala, India, His Holiness the Dalai Lama announced that he’d be stepping down as political leader of the Tibetan government in exile, to make way for an elected representative. He will be retaining his position as Tibet’s spiritual leader.
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..
In typical Pakistani/ Bangladeshi style, the good people of Bangladesh have seen it fit to stone the house of their captain Shakib Al Hasan, after their humiliating defeat to the West Indies in the World Cup.

South African band aKING will rock the Fugard Theatre in Cape Town tonight as they launch their third album, “The Red Blooded Years”. The album, described by the band as “effortless and balanced”, is included in the ticket price of R150. How’s that for effortless?
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. Even though it is on YouTube, a message appears, stating ‘blocked for territories outside of the US and Canada.’ Thankfully 2oceansvibe’s […]
Top management in our extremely effective police force were asked yesterday in Parliament how they happened to lose 20 429 weapons. Click through for facepalming disappointment.
