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 […]
Sort of. HP recently released a study looking under the hood of Twitter’s ‘Trending Topics’ function – revealing (gasp) that most of the time, popular topics get broadcast by major media twitter accounts, then amplified by their followers, rather than some wanky cloud-based news system.
A new record for the longest kiss in history has been set by a married Thai couple, Ekkachai and Laksana Tiranarat, who were one of 14 couples to take part in a “kissathon” in Pattaya, Thailand.
It was certainly an ironic sight to see Gennaro Gatusso with a captain’s armband and a ‘respect’ badge on one sleeve, while the other arm was firmly clasped around Joe Jordan’s neck.
SA’s Charlene Wittstock set to become Princess Charlene of Monaco Charlene Wittstock Talks Royal Life – South African swimmer Charlene Wittstock, who is engaged to Prince Albert of Monaco, has revealed that Giorgio Armani will be designing her wedding dress. Wittstock made the announcement during an interview with Talk Radio702 and said that Armani is the […]
If you missed today’s Financial Report on 2oceansvibe Radio, you’re in luck! Our in-house financial guru, Lindsay Williams discussed the V&A Waterfront sale with Angelique de Rauville, Investec Asset Management’s Property Portfolio Manager – LIVE from London. Lindsay has the very rare ability to talk finance in layman’s terms. Never before has financial chatter made so […]
A Constantia Uitsig Wine Estate development application to extend the commercial nature of the business it conducts is being opposed by the Constantia Property Owners Association (CPOA). Why? Because 30 new residential houses and 12 new hotel rooms being built will result in, like more traffic. And like, effect the environment and, like, its World Heritage Site chances.
What is even more shocking is the fact that this teacher has more than 20 years worth of experience. And if you are wondering why the headline reads “curry” and “Asian kids” instead of “rice” and “Asian kids”, remember Pakistan and Bangladesh is also in Asia.
What did you get for Valentine’s? The Colombian Navy got a submarine built by drug smugglers in the Timbiqui shipyard. Well I mean the seized it. It wasn’t a gift. Authorities say the sub was meant to transport about 7,000kg of cocaine into Mexico. So there were some pretty disappointed Mexican Valentines, I guess.
If you’ve been charged with rape, it’s best that you don’t post on your Facebook profile that you need a hitman, ASAP, to help sort out the victim of your alleged crime. It’s especially a bad idea if that person can see your Facebook page.
I’m terrified of motorcycles, and this video just reminds me why. Anyway, the biker in question decided it would be a good idea to attach a helmet-cam to his or her head and take their new ride out for a spin. But sometimes, as you know, goods times, they go bad…
But not by Julian Assange. This American Life reports that the recipe was published as a photograph on page 28 of the Atlantic Journal-Constitution newspaper in 1979 as part of an inconspicuous historical piece on the Coca-Cola company, but the small size of the newspaper, the poor placement of the article and a complete lack of the World Wide Web meant that the historical leak went unnoticed. You can see it after the jump.
As you’re all well aware by now, it’s just not our prerogative here at 2oceansvibe to support brands that don’t follow the ethics and values that we uphold. Once again something unnecessary has been brought to our attention that we need to tell you about – “force field” insect repelling plugs for your home or flat.
The South African Film And Television Awards (SAFTAS) honours the top performers and creative minds behind all the locally made shows you see on our television screens. Yet, in an ironic turn of events not one of the local channels will air these awards on an actual television.
