During World War 2, a dead tramp from London was shipped to Italy, given an elaborate backstory by Ian Fleming (of James Bond fame), dressed as a British soldier and supplied with fake British invasion plans. What I’m saying is he was a zombie spy. So as it happens, zombies have been du jour since the mid 1940s.
I rocked my ass off on Friday night at the MINI Countryman launch in Cape Town. The Blonde and Baby Jesus from Goldfish were playing and everyone was pretty mesmerised at the vibes they were throwing on the “Roland MC-909.” It looked like some kind of invisible magic. Dom says it is called a D-Beam.” […]
Living in South Africa we are used to dodgy vehicles on the road. You know the kind. Hell, even our taxis are sometimes held together with ducktape, while a monkey wrench substitutes the all important function of steering wheel. But you might be safer in that than in any of these cars. Auto Shippers has listed the ten least safe cars of all time.
This weekend saw some rather unfavourable weather conditions. The South Easter unleashed her fury over Camps Bay yesterday, and so Clifton 4th it was. Still, it wasn’t ideal, as the gusts hit every umbrella on the beach, sending the ice-cream men running. But nothing could disturb these beauties…Check the earphones.
Kevin who? Kevin Laye – the guy who wrote Positive Drinking: Control The Alcohol Before It Controls You! We don’t know much about Kevin other than that he’s a hypnotist and the last time he had a jol was in 1962. In his book he runs us through a range of techniques of how to stay sober when you feel a party coming on. Here are some of the highlights.
Oh, internet. I love you. This little gem popped up over the weekend, and I thought you might like it. This guy repeatedly attempted to sell Cash4Gold ‘zip lock bag[s] of gold painted rocks,’ and eventually got an angry letter in response. Which he has framed. There are references to quadriplegic prostitutes. Click through for transcription.
The Italian Football side did it for D&G. Helen Mirren et al did it for a local hospital in the movie Calendar Girls. Now, UCT’s MC Marais XV have stripped off for charity and an annual tour. Ladies and Gentlemen (although this one is definitely more for the laydeez), I present the 2011 MC Marais Naked Calendar:
Two cricket enthusiasts are following the Ashes a little more closely than the rest of us. They’re using the power of social media and ‘vlogging’ (video + blogging) to promote their series, ‘Two Pricks At The Ashes’, where they travel around the stadiums, chatting to sweary fans, parodying the players and soaking up the vibe. Stellar idea. [VIDEO]
Kate Middleton Gets The Testino Treatment – He is known for his alluring photographs of supermodels and Hollywood stars, and for creating the most enduring images of Diana, Princess of Wales. Now, Mario Testino, the fashion and celebrity photographer, has turned his lens on a future queen. It can now be revealed that Testino has […]
I may have rushed to get to the moral of the story with the headline there. I’m sorry. It’s just that I got so excited because the HMS Invincible is for sale! The Invincible is big enough to carry 22 aircraft (not included), and is available second-hand, previously owned by a lovely old lady who only took it to war on Sundays.
The town of Celebration, Florida, the Stepford Wives-style community that Miley Cyrus’ parent corporation, Disney, built 14 years ago, has finally entered the big leagues after experiencing its very first, bona fide murder.
On the whole, I try and stay away from jokes that hinge on understanding two languages, because usually those jokes are goddamned awful and I mean hey, Leslie Nielsen died a few days ago, show a little class. That said, today is Friday, and there exists a product called the Mophie ‘Juice Pack Plus.’
Rarely has a Friday been so laden with goodies and elements of weekend happiness.
We’re talking models, Corona Beer, and of course, while we’re at it, Mini. The Mini Countryman, to be exact, but more of that after the jump.
Beyond R.E.M. sleep there’s the Nedbank Golf Challenge Coma. Both enjoyable. Both now available since with rugby season officially over (the Barbarians game is a circus) we’re all forced to venture into unchartered waters this weekend and tune in to golf. Or ‘Africa’s Major’ as they call it.
If you read between all the English dejection after they were foiled by Fifa for the second time in 2010, you’d have noticed that Qatar was cockahoop that they’d won the rights to host the World Cup in 2022. The proof is in the pudding: these guys have plans to create the most irie stadiums ever. Think Cape Town’s is awesome? Check these badboys out.
2oceansviber, Sugar, a regular on Cape Town’s bustling Kloof Street, spotted this Hitler t-shirt in the window of one of those shops where you might expect to see this sort of thing, if you know what I mean. Here we have an example of one man’s smug irony being another man’s reason to kick the former man’s ass. Check out the pics below.
With the Ass Flavour and Ass Food explosion experienced over the past year or so, it was only a matter of time before people would want to grow some ass at home. It would be dangerous to use your own ass to create different foods and drinks, so a big round of applause goes to Stodels nurseries who have stepped up to the plate.
Russia And Qatar Triumph At World Cup Vote – Russia and the tiny Gulf state of Qatar were awarded the 2018 and 2022 Soccer World Cups on Thursday after an acrimonious bidding war marred by allegations of corruption and illegal deal-making. The bombshell conclusion to two years of frenzied lobbying saw world football supremo Sepp […]
We noticed that Goldfish hadn’t made a music video for their tune “Show You How,” so we thought we would have a bash at doing one ourselves. Ladies and gentlemen, I give you the 2oceansvibe Radio Music Video! SPECIAL THANKS: Directed and Edited: Genevieve Akal Soundtrack: Goldfish ‘Show you how’ Shot and Post Production: New […]
It’s no wonder that the South African government, and, by implication, the ruling ANC party wants to pull the plug on Press Freedom and curtail reporting of the facts, dragging the country back into the Dark Ages of Apartheid. Last Sunday’s Sunday Times (UK), listed some remarkable – and appalling – statistics on the members of […]
SA Uber-DJ and ex-Good Hope FM Friday night DJ, Dean Fuel, has joined the 2oceansvibe Radio team. His first show was last week and you can catch him every Friday from 5pm to 8pm (just after DJ Sox) on 2oceansvibe Radio, getting you pumped as you head into the weekend! Be sure you tune-in! Follow the link for more details on how to listen and more info on Mr. Fuel!
It’s Thursday. Look at this video. It’s partially a rant on nanny-state politics, so you can watch it and act like you’re smart and politically engaged, and it also has footage of ladies in lingerie playing American football, which is relevant to the debate at hand, but also good for its own sake. SFW
If you’ve read 2oceansvibe or visited a vida e over the last month or two, you’ll know all about Car Free Friday! We trust everyone will be doing their bit on Friday morning? Personally I’ll be heading through to the 2oceansvibe Radio studio for my Friday breakfast show, on my Vespa. Now whilst the radio […]
The seventh annual Wavescape Surf Film Festival is upon us, girls and boys. To avoid missing out on the event that will undoubtedly set the scene for a most successful summer, click through. We promise you good news, and very, very pretty pictures.
South Africa has it’s fair share of crazy weather conditions. Hell, right here in Cape Town we could be having a braai in Camps Bay watching the sunset, while Newlands is enjoying a monsoon and closing the curtains at 5pm. But I have a feeling only a few of you have ever experienced a hail storm this severe. Follow the link.
UPDATE: Apparently this was actual filmed in Arizona. Same thing..
Spotting a prawn in full attire with a helmet on, in a public place, will alarm even the most relaxed individual. But imagine how it felt for Nick H, as he wandered through Media24’s reception area and was presented with THIS! In his own workplace! Poor thing. The irony of the ‘No Firearms’ sign (a […]
Holiday party photos are boring. imgur user Everet Hiller make them more fun with fake celebrities! “My wife and I have a holiday party every year and every year when I send out the photos I add famous people to the images,” he says. Which is great, because now I have a legitimate reason to look through a complete stranger’s holiday photos on the internet.
Snoop Dogg To Perform At Prince William’s Bachelor Party – Rap royalty, meet British Royalty. Snoop Dogg has announced that he has recorded a special song for Prince William’s upcoming nuptials – and will perform it at the Prince’s bachelor party.Snoop’s PR team called the song, titled ‘Wet,’ (via Vulture) the, “perfect anthem for Prince […]
It was just the other day that someone sent out a tweet, asking the difference between the L’Ormarins Queen’s Plate and another event involving horses. I scoffed at the notion, adding that it was akin to comparing chalk and cheese. But not just any cheese – I was referring to a rich blue stilton cheese […]
I love Twitter. You know why? Because some sportsmen and women speak their minds instead of regurgitating cliche’s from the “Sportsmen and Women’s Book of Hackneyed Ways to Respond to Interviews”. KP once referred to the ECB as a bunch of muppets in a tweet. Now he is having a go at the Adelaide groundsmen ahead of Friday’s second Ashes test.
