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.

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 Mostly it talked about don’t-ask-don’t-tell being repealed, which is splendid – but I was focusing more on what was being said about bikes.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..
826LA is an adorable store that probable has a real-world address in area-code 826, LA, but which also has some awesome, dare-I-say quirky goods on display online – ‘from another time.’ Their Dodo Chow, for instance, 1970s coffee cups, or their Viking Odorant. It’s not exactly tinned unicorn meat, but it’s pretty rad!
Zuckerberg Cracks TIME Magazine Person Of The Year – Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg is Time magazine’s Person of the Year, and, predictably, the internet has some thoughts about it. Many in the tech blogosphere say it’s hard to argue with the Time distinction, while others cited all the attention Facebook received this year for its […]
Pakistan’s relations with the U.S. were talked up pretty heavily in the latest Cablegate leaks; further, false leaks with heavy anti-Indian sentiment were spread around the country by major national newspapers. So it’s nice to see the Pakistani advertisers make the most of an awkward situation.
Well, it’s not like they had them explode from a cake and huskily sing ‘Happy Birthday, Mr. Jesus,’ but this comes pretty close. But hey, good thing they don’t allow gay folk to become Popes, right? Otherwise that creepy look on his face would be pretty hard to explain away.
Increasingly it seems like Assange is proving to be a bigger story than the cables he most recently to be released – HiLoBrow artist, Joe Alterio, tries to put that right with his series of illustrations paired with the more bizarre political activities revealed in the latest batch of Wikileak cables. Expect dirty dancing and ninja assassins.
Last week we brought you the first episode of Sex In The Mother City. Kitty Warner introduced us to our intrepid sex pioneer, Kira, and her exciting exploits around the Mother City. Kira enjoyed an after-dinner snack on on the wheel of fortune with the man of her dreams. But Kira has eyes, and sophisticated pallet. Will […]
If you’re tired of paying Top Rond for voice calls, you should definitely get on this bandwagon. The new Viber app for iPad and iPhone allows you to make free VOIP (voice over internet protocol) voice calls. It works swimmingly with a moderate WiFi connection, and is the bomb-diggity on 3G.
That’s right you crazy kids – Marshall is hosting a sale this very eve. The sale will be happening in the City and Constantia branches, but word on the street is that Constantia will be especially rewarding…Nudge nudge. Check out the flyer above.
The Hollywood Foreign Press Association went out of their way to market this year’s Golden Globe Awards as a showcase for stupidity. They nominated a guy who thinks Russia’s music unites the world and a movie that tanked at the box office. Then again, that’s what we’ve come to expect from the Oscar’s ugly cousin.
It seems that if you’re blue, you’re in vogue… well that’s if pop culture in 2010 is anything to go by with James Cameron’s Na’vi tribesmen in Avatar, The Smurfs feature film and now our giant blue-headed villain in Megamind. Perhaps Andy Warhol was really onto something with his colour transition duplications of Marilyn Monroe and John Wayne’s heads when he coloured […]
