So some of you may have tried out the Kinect for the Xbox 360. It’s pretty damn awesome, if you don’t mind flailing around like a lunatic in front of the TV. But sometimes the Kinect can go horribly wrong, especially when your kids get in the way…
When Tunisians marched en masse a few weeks ago, their long-serving president fled the country. The success of the popular protests have since set off a wave of dischord across North Africa. Yemen is fast following Tunisia’s lead, while Egypt is reportedly on its last legs, parliamentarily-speaking. Shit, as they say, is going down.
At an undisclosed location in Hawaii, this guy called Devin Graham – who is known for doing odd things in interesting places, and placing videos on the internet – took an abandoned water reservoir turned it into the world’s most coolest Slip ‘n Slide.
Acting President and official Deputy President Kgalemo Mothlanthe held a press conference regarding the health of Nelson Mandela on Friday afternoon at 12h30. Mandela was admitted earlier in the week to Milpark Hospital in Johannesburg under a veil of secrecy for a collapsed lung.
I’m a huge fan of The Office, both Ricky Gervais and Steve Merchant’s original and the American rendition. Steve Carell’s recent announcement that he will no longer resume his role as Michael Scott genuinely forced moisture from my face. I was immediately cheered up by an awe-inspiring clip: a meeting between Michael and David Brent.
Well, ladies and gentlemen. Here we have demonstrable proof that Google Street View is a technology that a) makes our lives better, and b) provides canny insight into the daily habits of the human being. In this instance, it is one particularly special character from 40 Stella Road (corner of Dick Burton), Plumstead.
Even I, most cynical man alive, am pretty choked up about this recording. It’s from an unknown soldier in Afghanistan who’s calling his pregnant girlfriend. In the 90 second call he tells her that one of his fellow soldiers had just been killed and that he misses her terribly. Then… he asks her to marry him.
Unrest in the Ivory Coast is making it impossible to live there let alone farm cocoa. Now, half the world’s cocoa comes from the Ivory Coast. Which means half the world’s chocolate comes from the Ivory Coast. We can absolutely not get by with half the world producing the whole world’s chocolate. Absolutely not.
I can only assume that Will Smith is doing this to punish me for not watching Hitch. I mean, he remade The Karate Kid with his son as the lead, which was fine (awful) except for the part where there was no karate. And now he’s remaking Annie, with Jay-Z’s help. Look out for the ‘Hard Knock Life’ rap.
I knew I wasn’t alone in my misery. Well that’s not true, I thought I was alone in my misery. But according to a new paper in the January issue of Personality and Social Psychology Bulletin, so do many other people.
The new Larry King and TV’s most famous petrol head are at it again trading blows in public. Piers cordially invited Jeremy to join him for a chat on CNN. Jeremy said no ways not even if they record the show in his back garden. Piers hit back and called Jeremy an “ageing pot-bellied Brit”. It’s a middle-aged slam down.
The iPad Finally Comes To South Africa – Officially! – Finally the first OFFICIAL Apple sanctioned iPads are available in South Africa.

You gotta love the happy clappy church. They’re happy and they’re clapping about it. Sometimes they get so happy they hit the floor and convulse. That’s a lot of happy. Now watch what happens when you take all that happiness and put a funky drum ‘n’ bass beat underneath it. Who’s willing to go crazy? Is everybody readyyyyyyy!
If you’re feeling like a dose of good, solid live performance, head down to the Fugard Theatre to catch Neels van Jaarsveld and co in Athol Fugard’s ‘Die Kaptein Se Tier’. That’s Afrikaans for ‘the Captain’s Tiger.’ But don’t worry too much if you barely scraped through tweede taal Afrikaans, the performance comes complete with subtitles.
A supermarket in Arkansas has caused a stir by placing a ‘family shield’ in front of the US Weekly cover which features Elton John and his partner, David Furnish, cradling their adopted baby boy. NSFW if your screen is within the vicinity of small homophobic children.
Whoof. So they’ve recently released the promo for Clifton Shores, a show about “an American cast coming to live and work in Cape Town where we follow them seeing how interesting their lives get.” So far as I can tell, this is an attempt at placing the Jersey Shore in Cape Town, and it is The Worst Thing.
Christopher Nolan has been ignored yet again by the fickle American Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences for a “Best Director” nomination, and plenty of people are peeved about it, including renowned film-score composer, Hans Zimmer.
You’ve got to hand it to these Mexican drug smugglers. They spent a lot of time building and testing a drug-launching catapult, only to have the National Gaurd and Mexican cops take it all away from them.
Building on the solid foundation laid by her meat dresses, Lady Gaga will be launching a fragrance that captures the essence of blood and semen. Yup, blood and semen. Those two. In a dark and sweaty club I can see this working. It’s edgy. In the workplace? No. Go wash man, you smell like a crime scene.
Can I be the first to say awwwww yeah? Would that be okay with you guys? I mean, I don’t want to step on anybody’s toes or anything, but Isaiah Mustafa and his striking brown eyes are back to peddle Old Spice at me, and it just feels right. Okay? Here I go. Awwwww yeah.
Everybody loves guns. My proof: Ask a child aged 7 what he’d like for Christmas and he’d say: “An AK-47 please”. Ask a Nigerian drug dealer what he’d like for Christmas and he’d say the heads on his enemies, a brick of coke and a gold-plated Desert Eagle. Now simply extend my evidence to include all the people in between my two examples.
Two of the players participating in the Neo Africa Tri-Series, Anton van Zyl and Doppies Le Grange, will be popping in to the 2oceansvibe Radio studios this afternoon to shoot the breeze. There is a strong possibility that we’ll get on to the subject of rugby, what with Anton’s recent titanic performance for the Barbarians […]
No News On Mandela’s Health – As dawn broke over Milpark Hospital in Johannesburg on Thursday, journalists camping outside the facility had no clue about former president Nelson Mandela’s health condition.

Well, ladies and gentlemen. That’s what we call a “success”. Weather-wise, Cape Town served up a typically stunning Friday evening.

They’re Spanish, they’re called FLO6x8 and they don’t seem to like Capitalism. To demonstrate their contempt for the free market this group of radicals engaged in a flash-mob style “Rumba Rave” in a branch of Santander bank.
On Sunday residents in Manenberg Avenue started hearing voices coming from the ground. Initially it looked like nine boys made a drain their new home. That quickly changed to three boys and a girl. At one point 15 kids were believed to be in the drain. Currently no one knows what’s going on down there.
In it’s 2011 Traveller’s Choice Awards, Lonely Planet has named Cape Town the second best beach city in the world. Who was first? Barcelona. So we don’t feel too bad. We’ll take second, ahead of Rio, Sydney and a whole bunch of US cities.
