Walt Disney will be clicking his heels in his grave. Japanese scientists have, by promoting the miscopying of DNA from mice to their progeny, randomly produced a mouse that sings very much like a bird. So what are we aiming for here? Mouse servants? Mouse message couriers? No, not even remotely.
The Associated Press, bless them, voted Betty White as top entertainer of the year because she starred in a Snickers ad and stays on longer than an iPad. Look, I love tannie Betty but if you put entertainer and 2010 in the same sentence you kind of want to throw these names in there too.
Richard Hardiman managed to squeeze a lunch meeting with Jacques Kallis yesterday afternoon following reports that he had crashed his Audi R8 into his neighbours’ front gate at 02h30 on Tuesday morning. An obviously fatigued Kallis was kind enough to give us a few minutes to chat.
Another Actor Injured In Broadway ‘Spider-Man’ Musical – After an actor performing in the Broadway musical “Spider-Man: Turn Off the Dark” was injured during a performance Monday night, the show will postpone its scheduled matinee on Wednesday and resume performances on Wednesday night, according to a statement from a spokesman for the production. The actor, […]
Let’s be honest – you don’t read this website all day. Half a day, tops. So how else do you keep entertained? Not by watching DStv, that we know. They’re showing Jetsons: The Movie and we’re smack in between two cricket tests. Desperate times, indeed. Here’s help.
This is a cautionary tale. You get new hair, and your life will change. This is the news: Jacques Kallis crashed his Audi R8 (excellent taste, JK) supercar into his neighbour’s gate at 02h30 this morning. Now let it be known, hair implants will increase your self-confidence to dangerous levels.
Irish people are generally funny. And I’m allowed to say that, because my mother is Irish. So when someone tells you that you have funny irishmen on your hands, you know that something special is in the offing. Presenting the Rubberbandits, an irish comedic duo from Limerick. And they have a horse outside.
I think we can safely say that the Howard Centre in Pinelands is as exciting as waiting in the queue at Home Affairs, so when this old chap appeared infront of me at Pick n Pay I was stunned. Have we found the hive leader?
Man, I don’t want to sound like your grandpa complaining about saggy pants, the violent youth and how terrible television is now that they don’t have sexist cigarette advertisements anymore, but god damn I am not a fan of saggy pants. It’s like walking through soup. Made of pants.
Our readers send a ridiculous amount of rubbish, some of it newsworthy, some of it funny. Some of it just lame. But when a reader sends a link, with just the words ‘You’re Welcome’ – you kind of take notice. That takes confidence – he or she is putting their balls on the line head on a block.
Such was the case of one David K.
He did good.
Watch this video. As a complete sideshow, it features Jessica Alba. No spice.
Ernst & Young To Be Prosecuted – Ernst & Young faces being charged with civil fraud by New York prosecutors for allegedly helping Lehman Brothers Holdings to mislead investors, reports said yesterday. The state’s attorney-general was ready to file the charges, which were based on alleged transactions by Lehman meant to make the bank’s liabilities […]
Checkers have made well-known South African socialite, fashion designer and aspiring chef (that’s kok in Afrikaans, I’ll have you know), Nataniel their go-to guy for meat-product advertisment. As you can see, they like to push it pretty hard.
Afrikaans has been the du jour global parody language of 2010, sonder a doubt (we’re looking at you, Die Antwoord).
So it’s only fair that we round out the year with an Afrikaans parody of The Lonely Island’s beloved Dick In A Box SNL skit.
First she tries to bite his head off but her flimsy little jaw can’t manage then she puts him under her stiletto and rams his fluffy head into the stage. Getting emotional here. Everybody’s cheering then the Gaga woman screams ”I hate the Holidays!” at the top of her lungs. Full on tears now. I’m crying.
American reality TV and sex-tape star Kim Kardashian poses for fans at the Rand Club in Johannesburg. Kim and her sister Khloe are in the country for the launch of Brutal Fruit’s new flavour called ‘Cherry Porn Cranberry.’ (Photo by Gallo Images/City Press/Lucky Nxumalo)
I have feared this for years. What happens if one day you switch off the television, but the McDonalds logo is still burnt into the back of your corneas, and it won’t go away until you buy the Biggest Mac that there ever was? Well, that day is today friends. Sort of. Once in a theatre in Germany.
I wanted to ease off telling you about all the amazing things my new MINI Countryman can do, as I didn’t want you to get MINI-lash. But damnit it’s hard to do that when a music video started playing on my iPhone (I had it on random) and it appeared on the dashboard. Come on […]
The Silly Season is no better on display than in the hub of silliness, Camps Bay. Our brothers and sisters from the north have arrived, with their vests and muscles and costume jewelry. It’s quite beautiful to watch, my china! I took a little video clip of the action and you just won’t believe what I caught on tape, cycling past.
Kim and sis Khloe were stranded in Cape Town on the weekend and tweeted about it throughout their ordeal. There were talk of peeing, cries for help and a surreal tubular reference.
A Christmas reunion on someone’s dad’s side hanged in the balance as sad faces flew all over the place. It was a wild, wild ride.
Well, obviously. It does most weekends. Mostly it talked about don’t-ask-don’t-tell being repealed, which is splendid – but I was focusing more on what was being said about bikes. Bikes and cars. Bikes and cars and pedestrians, and their relationship to one another. The word ‘prawn’ was implied, but not quite stated.
Never before has a Twitter account been so celebrated. For a man who has spent generations creating happiness and joy throughout the world, it makes absolute sense that The TBG should allow his legions of believers this unprecedented access to his divine and magical ways. What better way to get closer to the great man, […]
Paris Hilton’s Christmas Card Goes Out – Paris Hilton’s Christmas cards went out this last week and as could be expected, it wasn’t all about Santa and the elves. Unsurprisingly, the card shows Paris Hilton herself, making reverse-love to a throne of sorts. No snow. No tinsel. No Santa. No red. No reindeer. No elves. […]
We quietly dominated Dunes in Hout Bay for Ard Matthews and Just Jinjer’s ninth-year-in-a-row performance on Saturday afternoon. And what a killer day it was. The mussels were great, the babes were awesome, and band was just sublime. They played all the hits – new and old. Including one of my faves, Like You Madly – check the video!
Independent Newspapers has been providing us with little gems of unintentional wordplay for years now. And when they’re not reporting that X politician has been fingered by Y investigative body (how many times could you withstand that kind of interrogation before you cracked?), they’re making pictorial gaffs. Please enjoy this little piece of joy.
So most of us, in fact all of us, will never ever be able to afford a Bugatti Veyron, but a man and in my case a woman, can dream. Bugatti have realised this dream and have loaded a Bugatti Veyron configurator online, just for you and me.
What are you doing this Sunday? Sleeping? We thought as much. In the interest of fun and good health, we urge you to head down to the Heineken Five A Side Soccer Challenge at Hamiltons Rugby Club tomorrow. That’s right, we’re urging. Anyhow, the afterparty is likely to be rather good, what with the country’s […]
There are some shopping malls in Cape Town that are not very much fun to visit. Retail and culinary quarters, on the other hand, are packed full of celebrities, and the Cape Quarter is one of them. But they’re not content with providing you with eye candy, they want to give you free Boschendal bubbly, too. Click through for details.
I know – it’s December, you’ve got this big pseudo-Christian consumerist monolith being forced down every available orifice imploring you to spend more money on This New Shiny Thing, and maybe you’re a little sick of that right now. I understand that. But believe me when I say that this is a freaking awesome advert.
Recent comments under the flurry of McHugeLarge videos have called for an investigation into the characters that star in the web series (here, here and here). One reader suggested we get them into the 2oceansvibe Radio studio, which we’re working on (promise). But for now we managed to get you these pics of the two […]
It’s common knowledge that I claimed Natalie Portman when she was a lightie – back when she played the role of Matilda in The Professional (AKA Leon). Sure I was ridiculed for backing someone so young, but kyk hou lyk hy nou! She has blossomed into an absolute murderer and no-one can take her from me. Why? Because I claimed her first. Enjoy this vid..
