The beer, which has a slight honey flavour, will initially be marketed to homosexual consumers in Mexico, Colombia and Japan. The Minerva brewery […]
On Monday we ran a story about Hamad bin Isa Al Khalifa, the king of Bahrain, granting each family in his kingdom 20k in a brilliant attempt at reverse psychology. But apparently the people of Bahrain are bigger Tracy Chapman fans than he thought, as they are now also “talkin’ ’bout a revolution.”
I love the internet. So we told you last week about Detroit’s Mayor, Dave Bing, shooting down the RoboCop statue proposal, and the KickStarter initiative that was trying to build the thing anyway. Well, they’ve raised the necessary $50,000 in a little under a week, so you know. Your move, Bing.
In a masterclass for all students of subliminal advertising, ex-president (and convicted criminal) of Madagascar, Marc Ravalomanana (say it quickly) announced his imminent return from exile in South Africa to Madagascar.
Poor , Ezperanza Spalding- I don’t know who she is either, but apparently she’s won “Best New Artist” at Sunday’s Grammys, despite Justin Bieber being the overwhelming favourite. This has sparked outrage amongst Bieber’s fans or “Beliebers” as they are known, and they have called for her head.
Let’s get this straight; 3D is just another means of resurrecting a spluttering film industry by charging you double the price for films with half the plot. Hollywood’s done it before, and they’ll keep doing it. But, just in case you needed another reason to hate 3D, turns out that Nazis were watching 3D propaganda films long before Avatar.
We’ve received overwhelming interest in Russian model Irina Shayk, who is this year’s US Sports Illustrated cover model. Initial reports certainly made for interesting reading, revealing the fact that she is the daughter of a coal miner. But there’s more. Enjoy this – she also happens to be the girlfriend of Cristiano Ronaldo. Skinny wealth. […]
Our friends from the eastern side of the world have long been known to be rather enterprising with the way that they decimate the ocean to sustain their fish needs. A photographer has been able to reveal their latest shocking technique: cyanide poisoning free-divers.
* Note entry time has come and the finalists are listed below. Good luck on Friday! It’s weird to think that if you do the right thing between now and tomorrow, you might be playing with your brand new Netbook before the weekend – courtesy of MWEB and 2oceansvibe Radio! But it’s all up to […]
When it comes to the window business, double glazing seems to be a cut-throat affair. A UK company offering such services has been accused of doing pretty much anything from threatening old people with fines, “green taxes” and even “putting their head in a vice grip and watching them bleed to death.”
By which I mean, Banksy has been hitting various billboards and street-corners in Los Angeles with culture-bending graffiti. As ever. I mean it’s a little weird that the anti-establishment dude has been promoting his Oscar nomination, but on the up-side, we get some pretty cool art out of it.
It’s not every day that you hear a story as near to some seriously horrific fiction as this: A Durban woman has been accused of the murder of her boyfriend after throwing toilet acid over him.
So back in December, Kim & Khloe Kardashian came to South Africa and local blog Cape Town Girl was thrilled to be invited to go and chat to the two entrepreneurs. By all accounts Kim & Khloe were great fun, as they chatted about everything from blogging and Birkin Bags to a certain hilarious Ninja-turtle-themed […]
Eating out of dust bins has been all the rage here in South Africa for quite a while now and our rubbish is sorted by bergies long before it even reaches the recycling area back at the depot. Now, a certain Sasha Hall has been arrested in the UK for “theft by finding.”
This morning’s headlines: The Berlusconi case keeps getting creepier and Hustler announce they’re developing Harry Potter porn, entitled “This Ain’t Harry Potter”. Wow, the return of Beavis and Butt-Head sounds remarkably savoury. Yup, they’re back and they’ll still be watching Whitesnake tribute music videos. Oh, and Jersey Shore.
Muammar Gaddafi – Next to go? Libyan Riots – Is It Gaddafi’s Turn Now? – Hundreds of protesters have reportedly torched Libyan police outposts in the eastern city of Beyida, while chanting: “People want the end of the regime.” Demonstrators gathered in the early hours of Wednesday morning in front of Benghazi’s police headquarters and chanted […]
We’ve basically spent the whole day crashing around the office in a state of glee, playing Intern Skittles (we’ll explain the rules at a later stage), Intern Pinata, and Pin The Tale On The Intern. And it’s all in aid of celebrating a special boy’s birthday!
We bring you this week’s installment of Sex In The Mother City! Kira and the girls head out to a party, and, for the first time in a long time, Kira finds herself in the position of designated driver. But with all the ex trouble she’s experiencing, she may be jonesing for a cocktail sooner […]
An old man has virtually done the impossible and survived a five day ordeal in the Arizona Desert near a little spot they call Cave Creek, which is rather ironic. Hank Morello managed to do this by eating his left-over pasta and drinking his windscreen wiper water. Did I mention he also has mild dementia and diabetes?
We cannot choose how or when that limousine from heaven gets sent down to fetch us. But I sincerely hope that a) I’ll be wearing clean underwear at the time, and b) that I don’t end up like this woman – she died at work, and her slumped body just sat there in the office cubicle for another day before anyone noticed.
The great thing about this business conference (coming to Cape Town on 18 and 19 February) is that it a) is not a thinly veiled pyramid scheme hazing ceremony b) is not a thinly veiled cult hazing ceremony c) is not boring beyond your capacity to sustain life.
Check out the details of an exciting upcoming Cape Town entrepreneurship conference after the jump.
Would you cut your own arm off to save your life? That’s what it all boils down to in 127 Hours, an adventure-thriller and spirited drama starring James Franco and directed by Slumdog Millionaire’s Danny Boyle. The film is an adaptation of Between a Rock and a Hard Place, a biographical account of now famous […]
Yes, I know, me and everybody’s grandma used ‘there’s an app for that’ as the headline, but that’s because me and everybody’s grandma have an awesome sense of humour. New York’s Health Department released a smartphone app for finding free condom distribution points via GPS on Monday.
It’s quite full-on, this one – and it certainly doesn’t need any explanation. I mean, you GET the humour, right? It would have been one thing if the label was on a 6-pack of eggs. Because a male chicken is a cock, and it would kind of make sense that the eggs are ‘cock’s fresh.’ […]
If you think about it, music is simply data ordered in a specific way by a clever human and then executed by either man or machine. So why not take some existing data from a very clever machine and see if it makes music? Well that’s what the very very clever people at CERN have done.
We take a break in our broadcasting to thank you, the 2oceansvibe readers out there, for making the last 30 days another record breaking month. 2oceansvibe enjoyed just under 70,000 unique readers and 330,000 page impressions for the last 30 days (according to Google Analytics). That’s a helluva lot of upwardly mobile high-LSM peeps! Follow […]
A new Thai airline, P.C. Air (appropriate that), is set to become the first airline in the world to employ openly transsexual flight attendants. Thailand is known for its tolerance of transvestites and transsexuals, known locally as ‘katoeys’ or ‘ladyboys’. But, up till now, the only jobs available to them have been in the beauty and ‘entertainment’ industries.
Somehow, Steven Krumholz of West Hollywood managed to sneak a large amount of drugs aboard the MS Allure of the Seas (that’s not a joke name) for what was billed as the world’s largest gay cruise. Authorities discovered his on-board party shop a little too late, though.
Wow, this kid in America is pretty hardcore! And not only because he probably OWNS Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas. No, he actually killed his own mother while she was sleeping because she punished him by taking his PlayStation away.
According to our archives, the last TBG sighting was on the 29th of December 2010. That makes THIS the very first TBG sighting of 2011. And how befitting of the year’s first sighting, to be one filled with so much glory and awesomeness. And going to hand over to 2oceansviber Mike S, who will run […]
