Chris Nolan, auteur behind the no-longer-embarassing Batman franchise, has started gearing up for the third installment of the rebooted series – The Dark Knight Rises. Apparently Nolan wants two female leads this time, just to rub it in Katie Holmes’ face. Potential candidates and gallery after the jump.
Have you ever had a sports coach that berated you even if you conceded just one try/goal/point, but still won? I found there was always one coach who demanded perfection that was a bit beyond his/her team (particularly if they were coaching the U16C hockey side). It appears China women’s football coach has some pretty high standards.
If you missed out on the Goldfish show yesterday at Central Park, all I can say is shame. There was simply nothing more important happening yesterday in Cape Town.
The weather – hot, the beer – cold, the bikinis – plentiful, the moustaches – outstanding.
Jeremy Clarkson and the Top Gear team give us an exclusive look into what really goes into the making of The Stig. Come and take a tour around the Stig farm and get to see what really goes on behind the scenes as they reveal The New Stig.
Come on, be honest, the old footage just wasn’t doing it for you. You needed something new, something fresh. Well I tell you what, Kim Jong il has done it for us. He basically brought in a whole squadron of professional videographers and the result is right here – the most MIND-BLOWING video (set perfectly to music) of Kim Jong il’s army – with rockets and everything.
Fantastically funny ad campaign by Arab Dairy for their Panda Cheese, which doesn’t have anything to do with pandas, but don’t let that get in the way of enjoying these videos.
Gwyneth Paltrow gave her first live country music performance at the CMAs, singing the theme song for her upcoming movie, ‘Country Strong’. Is it just me, or does she look a tad nervous? There’s a lot of blinking going on. And let’s not mention the unplugged guitar. Strum it hard, Gwyny!
It was with a great sense of pride that I watched the Springboks grind out the most narrow of victories against the Welsh on Saturday. While blood streamed down Huw Bennett’s face, the victorious Boks held their exhausted arms aloft. The next time we meet will be in Wellington on September 11 next year. We have a lot to look forward to.
If you’re trying to sell air tickets, it’s a very, very bad idea to have the words “death” and “holiday” in the same advertisement. 1Time Airlines, who have apparently taken up the mantle from Nationwide as South Africa’s scariest airline, have done just that with this delightful email campaign. Your Monday morning dose of badvertising, after the jump.
A genius new website has launched which seems to be in full support of a cause that 2oceansvibe has championed for many years. PleaseShutUp.com clearly and humorously outlines the grossly antisocial, selfish and ridiculous behaviour found in modern day society – that of making and receiving random unplanned and unexpected phone calls.
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: drunk Facebooking ruins lives.
Thankfully the good people at Webroot Software have seen the urgent need to curb this scourge of humanity.
Rachel Green and Paul Chandler – Free at last [photo:AFP] Somali Pirates Release British Couple After More Than A Year – Somali pirates on Sunday released the British couple Paul and Rachel Chandler, who had been kidnapped more than a year ago as they slept on their yacht 800 miles off the East African coast.Their […]
Ok I’m not kidding you, there is some quality humour here. Jack Daniel would probably turn in his grave if he knew, but I simply had to get into character and experience Jack Daniels in the way that some of his more wild fans have done (think Guns & Roses..). And so we cruised around […]
As an iPhone fanboy I must say I did find the cries for a 2oceansvibe Radio Android app overwhelming. Fair play to you guys 😉 And so finally it is here – Making 2oceansvibe Radio now available on iPhone, Blackberry, Facebook, Android, Tivoli Radios and the new MINI! And for those of you clever enough […]
Celebrity chef and master of self-expression, Gordon Ramsay, just cannot catch a break. After recently having his Cape Town restaurant shut down, he was then going to be litigated by Sol Kerzner. Now, weirdly, after sacking his father in law, Chris Hutcheson, his wife’s family are not very agreeable.
Cao ni zu zong shi ba dai. It’s probably about time I learned to speak Mandarin. According to research just published by the Conference Board, a highly respected research institute, the Chinese economy will overtake that of the poor old US by 2012 in terms of output.
Rockstar Games have released a debut trailer for their latest open-worlder: L.A. Noire. The game is set to be released in American Spring 2011 and will offer a different experience for those who enjoy blundering about a virtual map shouting obscentities, while waxing lyrical with a friend about bashing an elderly bystander’s head in with the back of a stolen car.
Earlier today we told you about Paul Chambers, the nice young man from Ireland who has been convicted of “menace” after joking on Twitter about airport security.
The message was clear. Don’t joke about airport security. Unless, of course, you ARE airport security.
Paul Chambers, a 27-year-old UK accountant has been charged with and convicted of making “menacing” Teets. He had hoped that the case would be dismissed as the stupid prank that it was – and angled for a knocked down £1,000 fine. Instead, Judge Jacqueline Davies had his appeal dismissed on every count. Sorry, what?
Tivoli, the world’s most popular radios, have added 2oceansvibe Radio to their listing on their ‘Networks’ Internet Radios.

Smirnoff brings the world’s leading club brand, GODSKITCHEN, back to South Africa with their massive Boombox production and world No. 4 DJ act; Above & Beyond. Previous years in SA have seen sold out tours with DJ superstar David Guetta in 2008 and with world No.1 DJ Armin van Buuren in 2009. Two mind blowing […]
Researchers at the University of Manchester’s mobile biometry project have put together a demo application that allows people to use voice and face recognition to log in to Facebook, Twitter and Gmail accounts, which is going to be hell for people with a forgettable face.
The Other Angelina – Vogue have absolutely nailed it here, girls (and boys!) as they bring you an interview like know other – delving deep into the life of Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt. Jolie opens up about her life and her family. And how she melts for Brad when he is with the kids. […]
Oh shame, are you turning into a spoilt little brat? Oh shame is that now NORMAL for you to get Goldfish, two of SA’s biggest musicians and one of the world’s top big wave surfers (AND this year’s Mavericks Winner) on the same radio show? Don’t panic, we’ll walk on water next week 😉 Tune […]
This will come as a major surprise to Chelsea supporters. The former Chelsea and Manchester United footballer Ray Wilkins, has vacated his post as assistant manager with immediate effect. The timing of his decision is surprising and it will certainly test Carlo Ancelotti as a manager over the coming weeks.
Every time I hear about a new search engine that has come to market, I think the same thing: what’s the point? A new search engine aims to change that, claiming that it brings back far more relevant results by adding a human bias to the search algorithm.
David Thorne needs absolutely no introduction. While we’ve dealt at length with Dave (we’re on a first name basis now) and his hilarious approach to communication, his latest assault on Robert Schaefer over missing businesscard artwork is absolutely outstanding.
Zack Snyder, the man behind 300 and Watchmen, has released the trailer for his new film – Sucker Punch. Judging from the trailer, this is a movie about crazy & attractive ladies, dragons, robots, guns, swords and cabaret. My pants just got a little tighter.
The more awesome of you out there will be aware of the biggest whisky festival in the world, which took place in Cape Town last week. It’s called the Whisky Live festival and I was there. I also had a hip flask and enough Jack Daniels to keep me busy for quite some time. Three […]
