Here’s a snippet of ‘interesting’ news out of the Tottenham Hotspur’s camp involving two of our local lads. It just so happens that our Bafana Bafana reps have really connected. Despite the fact that Bongani Khumalo reportedly mistook Stevie P’s head for a ball, ‘Arry Redknapp has praised BK’s stellar vibes. True Saffa.
With the Radlantic continuing its game of lake-lake as far as Windguru will forecast (7 days ahead, actually), rumours of your plastic water bottle causing cancer are bound to peak. No doubt reaching for a sun exposed bottle of warm water will be met with upturned noses and precautionary words. So, hit them with the truth.
Wow. I’m not sure what the appropriate response is here. Finnish folk referring to themselves as the ‘Food Liberation Army’ have ‘kidnapped’ a statue of Ronald McDonald, and are threatening to execute within a week if their questions concerning the quality of McDonald’s food production are not answered.
The Daily Maverick reports that the IEC will be going on a massive registration drive this weekend, in a bid to get our apathetic youth to the polls . That’s you, bru. They want you to get off the couch and go register.
Jim W. Hawkins is just one of those guys who is either an eccentric with a love for school-girl cheerleading or a paedophile or a bit of both. But let’s give Jim the benefit of the doubt and say his is just one in a vast sea of crappy public-access TV shows.
In November ’09, Aids activist group Treatment Action Campaign (TAC) launched a campaign to remove an ad on ETV by the Christ Embassy church. In the ad the church claims they cure Aids. This week, finally, the Advertising Standards Authority (ASA) managed to force ETV to pull the ad. A little too late as it turns out.
A 16 500 year-old cemetery was discovered a decade ago in Jordan and some of the findings are very interesting with regards to our bond with domesticated animals. It was discovered that, before cats and dogs, the red fox might have been man’s best friend.
We’ve been deceived! By somebody on the internet! My god, but I feel so used. It turns out that Craig Rowin, that guy who put up three separate videos asking millionaires for money and then apparently getting it was totally lying to us. It was all a big ol’ ‘look at me I’m a comedian’ hoax.
Here is a tip for becoming a successful politician: When you write newspaper columns criticising your own political party, they will be upset and invite you to a disciplinary. Logging onto Facebook and calling them “dickheads” will only make the situation worse.
There is lots of footage of shootouts between cops and the bad guys on the net, but none quite as harrowing or shocking as the events in this video.
If you see powder falling from your roses this Valentine’s Day don’t assume it’s pollen – it’s probably cocaine. Smugglers in South America are head over heels about this time of year when they can hide their product in tons of roses heading for the overseas market. Border Control is trying to keep up but it’s tough – those roses have thorns.
Sumo Wrestling Match-Fixing Skandaal – The ancient sport of sumo wrestling was today bracing itself for a fresh assault on its reputation, after police said they had found evidence of match-fixing on several wrestlers’ mobile phones. Text messages showed the wrestlers had gone as far as agreeing which winning moves would be used during bouts, and […]
Francois van Coke. A mouth full of blood. A lifeless groupie. Watch the video.
Well it looks like the new Durex six-pack falls way short for a sexually active syndicate operating in Indo. A group of sex hungry thieves pounced on a container in Malaysia en route to Tokyo, busted the lock and made off with, I would say, more than enough merchandise. Then again, who am I to speak on the libido of people in the Far East?
Yemen is situated on the southernmost tip of the Arabian peninsula, neighbouring Oman and Saudi Arabia, and is a geographer’s spitting distance across the Red Sea from one particularly troubled Arab state – Egypt. With revolution standing a fair chance of spreading to Yemen, WikiPedia has stepped in to nail a prediction.
According to a leading Italian art historian, the model used for the ‘Mona Lisa’ was in fact a man. Apparently, the man in question was da Vinci’s apprentice and possibly even his lover. What, da Vinci could have been a gay artist? How shocking.
Regular 2oceansvibers will be aware of the term ‘Lake-Lake,’ which is a game the Radlantic Ocean plays from time to time. What it does is it pretends to be a lake – ie. dead still. The photo above was taken this morning from The Safe House (using our iPhone 4 from Digicape and photos stitched […]
We’ve already seen those Dawkins inspired bus campaigns, now get ready for a university campus campaign that offers free porn in exchange for religious materials in a controversial “Smut for Smut” campaign.
I’ve been storing these images of our very own Victoria’s Secret supermodel, Candice Swanepoel on my desktop, waiting for the right occasion to publish them. Readers keep sending me more, and I keep adding them to my desktop collection, holding back from publication, over and over again. When will I realise that I don’t need […]
In an era of fickle Spaniards it seems appropriate to hail Gary Neville as a model professional. Jamie Carragher is a similar figure at Liverpool: a man you loathe unless you support the club he plays for. Either way you cannot help but admire his allegiance. Here’s to that cursed excuse for a moustache.
I mean, yes, making dominos that trip each other without touching is probably a useless application of technology, but I figure this puts us one step closer to that weird hologram game from Star Wars, and I am for it.
World Wide Worx, the research company with their fingers on the pulse of SA’s cell phone data usage habits has ascertained, with careful research and tireless data sifting that, yes, Twitter is the next big thing. They estimate that at least 1 million South Africans are “using the service”.
A Gay awards show in the US has apparently not nominated certain TV shows for any prizes because said shows depict gay characters doing gay things. Such as being bitchy to each other, wearing make-up, talking about their sex lives, and being incredibly narcissistic.
Because it’s basically here. I mean come now. The third installment of the hugely popular Castle Cape Town Tens is set to get underway this Friday and Saturday 4 and 5 February 2011. And even better, three of you lucky fishes can win a double ticket each, as well as your first two beers at […]
Up The Creek Festival takes place this weekend, on the banks of the Breede River outside Swellendam. Judging by this photo from last year, a lilo and plenty of sunscreen are essential items. Full line up and details after the jump.
My god, but I love this town. An entirely trustworthy-looking cardboard sign appeared on the M63 over the weekend, advertising ‘THERAPutic Herbal Weed’ which I haven’t called because chances are that the entirely whimsical sign will be made weird and uncomfortable by calling that number.
Murdoch’s The Daily Launches – In its first editorial, Rupert Murdoch’s iPad “newspaper” the Daily proclaims that “new times demand new journalism”. Murdoch has bet $30m (£18.6m) of News Corp’s money that his team can create that new journalism and steal a march on every other publisher. The Daily also represents a radical bet: that people […]
If you still haven’t registered that long planned imtheshit.com address, I’m sorry. You’re shit out of luck. All available internet addresses are down to five blocks of 16 million each. These are expected to run out by September. Billions worldwide still haven’t registered internet addresses. We live on the southern tip of Africa. You do the math.
It’s been one of the most terrible winters on record in many parts of the US, so it came as no surprise that many people were very apprehensive as to whether or not Punxsutawney Phil would see his shadow.
