Ha. Last night, someone in control of the Red Cross Twitter feed accidentally posted “Ryan found two more 4 bottle packs of Dogfish Head’s Midas Touch beer…when we drink we do it right #gettngslizzerd. ” Then the internet found out & made a meme of it, resulting in a flood of Red Cross blood donations.
I can’t believe it’s been a year since I last took my kit off for Marie Claire! And boy is this year’s issue an absolute corker – all in support of the SPCA! Not only will you see my fine mound, but I will be with the rest of the 2oceansvibe Radio crew – on a […]
Well, well, well, children! With gates opening at 16h30, and the main act kicking off at 21h30, most of you are probably wondering just how the heck you’re going to get to the Cape Town U2 gig this evening. As ever, 2oceansvibe is here to provide a list of road closures and associated logistics as a public service to you, our beloved.
In a touching display of celebrity-on-politician action, Bono delivered a bright red iPod to his new best friend, Jacob Zuma, at the presidential home in Genadendaal. Zuma looked visibly nervous at the specter that is Bono, so much so that he could barely manage to complete a sentence, and as one wasn’t written down for him, who could blame him.
It’s one thing to be forwarding a funny email on to those that you feel might benefit from the humour you found to be present in said email. But what happens when you’re a big cheese at a major construction and infrastructure development company and the joke is politically incorrect, and you get caught?
A cop in America has been asked to apologise for suggesting women rather don’t dress like “sluts” if they didn’t want to be sexually assaulted. According to his boss, they have no idea where get gets this from as “officers are taught that nothing a woman does contributes to a sexual assault.”
World’s First Gay Beer World’s First Gay Beer Launches In Mexico – A small Mexican brewery has produced what it claims is the world’s first beer specifically targeted at the homosexual community. 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.’ […]
