It took me an embarrassing amount of time to figure out that the lady on the left is a robot. It’s the futuristic version of accidentally chatting up a mannequin, except like a million times more unsettling. Because mannequins don’t have powerful robot arms that can crush a man.
How many times have you heard, “Not tonight, I have a headache.”? It is possibly one of the greatest cliches of all time…probably due to the fact that every single person has experienced this in one form or another.
But do not fear my fellow lovers, it seems that there is hope after all, well maybe not hope, but rather an explanation.

Everyone’s favourtie SKY News anchor, Charlotte Hawkins, will be joining the 2oceansvibe Radio team LIVE on Thursday morning, towards the end of the breakfast show. You might recall we first made contact with Charlotte earlier on this year, via a tongue-in-cheek article about her newsroom crush..
Obama Hip-Hop Video Causes Outrage – A very well put together music video parody called ‘Head Of The State’ by impersonator James Davis is causing a bit of drama over the water. The music video includes quite a bit of, how you say, cussing – and also features “Obama” smoking pot and hanging with his […]

The annual list of most corrupt countries in the world has been released by Transparency International, and South Africa didn’t do all that badly, as these things go. I mean, 54th out of 178 countries? It’s not the kind of thing you put up on your fridge or anything, but it’s not bad.
How’s that heading? Well it is the heading that was given to an article written on Marie Claire’s website. And man oh man has it caused some fat people to get really really angry.
Piranha 3D is best described as a blend of Jaws, Girls Gone Wild and Joe’s Apartment and falls into the so-bad-it’s-almost-good category of films. Now depending on your taste in film that could be a fantastic or horrible combination, because there’s no fence-sitting on this one – you’ll either love or hate it.
If any of you spend even a mild amount online and have a Facebook and/or Twitter account, the new MINI ‘Connected’ system which is built into the new MINI Countryman (launches late November I’m told) will blow your head off. So 2oceansvibe Radio in the car is one thing, but how can you watch news feeds whilst driving? Not to worry, the car reads it out for you! Video after the jump!
I went to bed the other night and suddenly realised that I hadn’t seen my iPad for a couple of days. It wasn’t in the Safe House, so I got out of bed, went to the garage and searched my car and my Vespa – nothing! It gradually dawned on me that I might not have seen my iPad since the Tuesday of that same week – on a flight from Johannesburg to Cape Town (a Kulula flight, no less). Oh my good Lord, what had I done?
Really. I know that the internet is full of videos of cats doing interesting things or babies falling over or hilarious local news networks, but these are five minutes that will be better spent than making photocopies or getting the Jenkin’s report done or whatever it is you employed people do.
Positioning themselves as “A Porthole To The Model World” I was very impressed when I came across the Gemini Models website, when strolling through the internet the other day. Praise should certainly be given to the owner, Frieda (of Gemeni Solutions) who has not only targeted a specific niche in the market, but is absolutely nailing it too! These guys could teach the Cape Town agencies a thing or two..
Halloween is approaching and although most South Africans don’t really take part in this weird holiday, it is still necessary to showcase some of the most insane constumes ever.

Excerpts From Keith Richard’s New Book In Rolling Stone Magazine ‘Life’ Excerpt: Keith Richards On The Debaucherous 1972 Rolling Stones Tour – The 1972 tour was known by other names – the Cocaine and Tequila Sunrise tour or the STP, Stones Touring Party. It was the beginning of the booking of whole hotel floors, with […]
With the help of modern technology, I was able to jet into the future and conduct an interview with SA celebrities, Jeannie D and Loyiso! This interview should only be for publication in 2050, but I thought I would give you a taste anyway! And my goodness, have things changed around here! It seems Jeannie […]
‘Muggle Quidditch:’ A bunch of dudes and ladies run around in capes and goggles with broomsticks between their legs while throwing balls at mounted hoops. This is an official sport, with a World Cup in November. Feel free to take a moment to weep now.
A long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away, I sat in a mid-priced family car outside a pub. Having read the AA Guide to Southern England, and finished my bag of crisps and bottle of Coke, I waited patiently for my parents..
Thousands of politically-minded Kiwis have come out in protest to prevent production of the Lord of the Rings prequel, The Hobbit, from moving out of New Zealand. I understand completely – I went through the same thing when my parents made me stop wearing my wizard outfit to school.
It has been made pretty public that Mel is not chuffed that he lost is role in The Hangover 2 to Liam Neeson. But just how many roles have the big names lost without us knowing about it?
It kills me to admit this, but I was not aware that The Hoff had covered a Madonna song! And not just ANy song – he covered La Isla Bonita – possibly one of her more hilarious tunes! The entire spectacle and magic that David Hasselhoff offers the world is so great that I doubt we will ever be able to fathom it in its entirety. Enjoy this mere drop in the ocean that is The Hoff!
World renowned acoustic comedy duo, Brothers Streep, will be in the studio today – a far cry from their previous starring guest roles – including the Graham Norton show and Funny Or Die (you did catch their song about Anna Paquin, right?). So be sure to tune in and see what they’re up to today, as they let loose at 2oceansvibe Radio! Follow the link to tune in.

Farewell, dear Walkman.. Sony To Stop Producing The Walkman – Time to retire those tapes. Sony has said that it’s stopping production of the Walkman, due to lackluster sales of the outdated music player. According to the company, the last round of the portable cassette player was produced in Japan in April, and once that […]
Here we have Galifianakis getting interviewed by radio host Gordon Keith to promote It’s Kind Of A Funny Story – and the awkward pauses and non sequiturs should be familiar to those of you keeping up with your 2oceans assignments.
PORT ELIZABETH, SOUTH AFRICA – 23 October 2010: 905 bikini-clad women formed a heart shape while taking part in the Nashua Largest Ever Bikini Photo Shoot at the Nelson Mandela Bay Stadium in Port Elizabeth, South Africa, on 23 October 2010. The bikini paraders broke two world records to raise awareness of cancer. (Photo by […]
With The Hangover 2 being filmed I thought it only appropriate that we get to know a bit more about the main actor Zach Galifianakis. Meet his twin brother, Seth Galifianakis.
There is a lot of 3D talk at the moment and, personally, I don’t know if these 3D TV’s are gonna fly. I just can’t get into the vibe of sitting in The Safe House with silly 3D glasses on. Especially watching TV! But looking at a book, now that’s different. That’s probably why one man’s entrepreneurial spirit has manifested itself into the most useful of 3D offerings. I give you 3DD – a 3D book of boobs! (NSFW)
