Don’t know about you, but that’s where I’ll be killing it, as I ease into Johannesburg for a couple nights. I’m sure you will agree, it’s not the END of the world. And besides its appeal as a year-end function venue, the corporate rates are pretty damn good. It’s also pretty reasonable for families – did you know under-18s stay free? No spice!
Lee Westwood – The World’s Number 1 Golfer Tiger Woods Loses World Number 1 Status After 281 Weeks – England’s Lee Westwood has become world number one for the first time, ending American Tiger Woods’s 281-week reign at the top of the golf rankings.

The thing about the future that excites me the most, besides the talking monkeys and the sexy robots, is the cure for the hangover. Some mornings I wake up and I just want to pry out my liver with a spoon and get myself a new one – and thanks to the researchers at the Institute for Regenerative Medicine, that dream is a possibility.
Just in case you needed more evidence that Snoop Doggy Dogg is awesome. This pic, taken from his Twitter account. [thanks james]
In response to the NFL ‘pick me’ ad, the All Blacks Cory Jane, Piri Weepu and Rene Ranger wowed viewers with their skills whereas the CA Technologies Brumbies have responded with a few class skills of their own.
Diego Maradona kicked off his 50th birthday celebrations yesterday in style, as selected guests were invited to his house in Buenos Aires to mark the occasion. PUMA presented Maradona with a giant cake in the shape of his favorite football boot, the PUMA King, and presented him with items from a new collection dedicated to one of the greatest footballers ever to have played the game.
More after the jump.
Die Antwoord’s frontman, Ninja (or Waddy Jones, depending on how old you are), has posted a scathing attack on former band photographer and film maker Sean Metelerkamp and the company he works for, Harry & Co. I smell a publicity stunt.
In a shockingly innovative move, Dutch clothing company Suit Supply has released an ad campaign showing ruggedly handsome men wearing suits while in the company of half-naked women. Now everybody’s buzzing about how sexist the campaign is, which I’m sure has Suit Supply’s advertising department terribly upset. Maybe they’ll ask some half-naked women to calm them down. Careful, it gets quite steamy after the jump…
I was not aware that muffin’s had an ass, let alone a tail, or any other body part for that matter. Sure, humans do get ‘muffin top’ when their jeans are too tight, but I had never imagined it the other way around. Nonetheless, the Spar on Regent Road, Sea Point seem to be ahead of all of us and are now selling just the ass part of a muffin. Amazing!
You might remember a post on The Oatmeal’s issues with phone calls? Well, following on from that, I give you their issues on emails. And I know that this is something that our 2oceansvibe readers will really appreciate.
It’s so nice that seasons change and that the year is broken down into different sections. Because with every section comes a new Victoria’s Secret photo shoot with South Africa’s very own Candice Swanepoel. God bless you, Candy x

A few days ago I saw a post on Gizmodo that asked readers to send in video clips of them saying “Katie, will you marry me?” The result was the single best use of crowdsourcing that we’ve seen to date.
Patrick Lambie hands off Schalk Burger 2010 Currie Cup Final Photo by Steve Haag / Gallo Images Lambie Earns SA Call-Up – Twenty-year-old Patrick Lambie played the match of his life on Saturday to earn a call-up to the 30-man Springbok team for their grand slam tour of the United Kingdom and Ireland next month.

What do you guys think of this? Jason Bateman and Will Arnett in brand-inspired skits. They do lack the laugh-out-loud moments I was expecting and it is rather random, but damn I love Jason Bateman!
Taylor Swift is a “country music sensation” who I have had the privilege of never having heard.
After initially achieving fame via Kanye West’s ego, she now also has the dubious honour of being the celebrity with the Madame Tussauds wax model that looks least like her.
Well, sort of. New Jersey has a pretty huge homeless population. I assume this is what that show, Jersey Shore, is about. And that noble institution, the New Jersey Homeless Management Information System, has introduced a finger-printing system so they can keep track of when homeless folk are using the government-funded soup-kitchens and spas. It’s weird.
Wow, people are still not happy about that chick's post on Marie Claire's website about fat people 'grossing her out'. So how do the public plan on displaying their distaste? Do the exact thing that grosses her out right outside her offices.

Parking is a well-known bugbear for the citizens of the greater Cape Town Metropole, some might even say the situation is reaching a critical mass. But the men and women of of the Northern Suburbs are putting on a masterclass of guile and smarts in the parking department. Thanks to Mike and Mike’s brother for sending in the evidence.
God, I love living in the future. Don’t you? Four driverless, electric vans arrived in Shanghai yesterday after a 13,000km ‘test drive’ from Italy. They had no maps, and they stopped to pick up a hitchhiker on the way.
Some might say he is a villain, to others he is a hero. Say what you want about Jordan Belfort – his story is phenomenal. Which is probably why ‘The Wolf Of Wall Street’ became a bestseller the moment it went to print. He was a multimillionaire at 26 and was in jail at 36. Fill in the gaps with yachts, jets, parties, drugs and high-class hookers. Catch him live on-air this morning! Follow link to tune in.

If, like me, you had a quick look at the local headlines online today and were inundated with the usual reports of systemic corruption, broken party politics and violent crime, enjoy this video of a baby monkey riding on the back of a micropig.
We promised we would get it to you first, and we weren’t lying! This video has taken things to the next level. I don’t know what the guy who made it was smoking, but it looks like it might be pretty expensive stuff! Ladies and gentlemen, I give you the new Goldfish music video – GET BUSY LIVING!
There are some products that offer depressing insight into the kind of marketplace we’re living in today. Sandwiches that use chicken for bread; drinks that give teenagers heart attacks; fixie bikes. But every now and then a product comes along that tells you it’s all going to be okay – and this, friends, is that product.
It’s one more sleep till the weekend and I know that if you are feeling anything like I am, it just cannot come fast enough. So I thought I would pick you up a bit and give you some awesome inspiration – either that or you are just going to feel even more like shit after this video, realising you will never be this awesome. But, I am willing to take that risk for this video.
2oceansvibers and norms alike will be aware of the term ‘prawn’ which is the ‘affectionate’ term used to describe cyclists. The term stems from their similarity to the aliens in the movie, District 9 – where the aliens were referred to as prawns. The defining feature is clearly the shape of cycling helmets, which mimics that of an alien’s head. All of that is set to change..
I wonder how long this fellow had been wearing his nice green T-shirt around his village, without anyone batting an eyelid. Years, I’d say. And they probably still don’t know that old Xqa! on the drums is wearing a very humourous Irish T-shirt. Better yet, a T-shirt with the foulest of words written on it..
