Haters gonna hate… On Tuesday Andy Roddick, the current darling of United States tennis, reminded everyone who might have begun to believe otherwise that he does indeed have the temperament of an infant.

Occasionally, when I’m not rocking out to AC/DC, I look around and realise that there’s more to life than three-chord, blues based hard rock. There are also bands that don’t seem to conform to any particular genre, bands that invade our collective consciousness through their sheer force of creativity – their sounds so fresh and […]

It’s been a while since we caught up with South Africa’s only Victoria’s Secret supermodel, Candice Swanepoel. And once again we are reminded why, in fact, we like her so much. The answer is simple – It’s mainly because there is no quibbling with her. She just gets on with it. Like in the picture […]

Hahaha! This is pretty funny – sent in by all sorts of people and has clearly becoming a bit of a hit on Twitter and other “social medias.” Well done to thatmandie, who posted it on YouTube. “Hitler is disgusted to find out that his blog did not crack enough nominations for the 2010 SA […]

As we continue the crusade.. I hope everyone noticed the spice headlines on Monday and, in particular, the article about phone numbers being extinct in five to 10 years – something I have been banging on about for quite some time now. Or, more to the point, I simply believe unexpected or unplanned phone calls […]
China is suffering under the weight of a societal malaise. And this time it’s not due to the influence of the Great Western Devil. In the sweltering heat of summer, when the refreshing breezes desert the city, Hu Lianqun absent-mindedly reaches for a solution: He rolls up his shirt to expose his belly, often fanning […]
Salt was originally written with the intention of becoming an espionage action-thriller with Tom Cruise as the lead. However, when Cruise backed out of the production… Jolie substituted the big name Mission: Impossible star and the script was rewritten for a female lead. Salt’s loosely modeled on the Bourne series with short, sharp bursts of […]
It’s Spring Day. Wonderful, isn’t it? Sure, depending on where you are in the Southern Hemisphere, the weather might not be very Spring-like. But such is life, and the meteorological musings of our planet. The good news is that the days are getting longer, the sun is shining more regularly, animals are copulating left, right […]

Those of you connected to a neat little trick called the internet (I hear it’s getting quite big) may know that the 62nd annual Emmy Awards went off without nary a hitch last night. At least, that would be the opinion of everyone besides the event’s host, Jimmy Falon. Much to Jimmy’s chagrin, Ricky Gervais […]

Some of you studied at UCT. Some of you may have even been forced to make forays to UCT’s Hiddingh Campus, AKA Hipster-Central. I remember those brief, but terrifying outings. The Hipsters. They’re so, so much cleverer than us. They talk about Nietzsche and Kant, and judge me when I reply by telling them not […]

There’s a cess-pit of bad football films out there. Of course, the discerning viewer will recognise that Any Given Sunday rises above the sentiment and excrement that makes up 90% of the movies in this drama. It’s a great film. There’s plenty of old-school Pacino filth and grit in there. And there’s that one, iridescent […]
We chatted the other day about this new concept in the East, which presents uncaptured TV news in animated form. A good example would be the scene where Steve Slater grabbed two beers and jumped out the plane. None of this was caught on camera but apparently in China they got a good idea of […]
It’s often said that moment captured with the TBG (Tall Blonde Guy) is harder to come by, than a EuroMillions Lottery Jackpot win. That said, one can only imagine the emotion and tingling felt by one Barry Cocks, as he found himself face to face with one of the world’s greatest mysteries. Let’s see what […]
Similar, much? 2oceansvibe was abuzz in Friday afternoon with news that Russian statesman, Vladimir Putin, had cross-bowed a whale.

Are you underpaid, undervalued, and sidelined at work? Are you feeling brave? Then QUIT! QUIT I TELL YOU! Everyone else is striking, why not one-up those public-sector amateurs? But if you’re going to do it, you absolutely have to do it in style, like (yes, we know it’s fake), or this. But writing, photography, and […]
My children, you know that every now and then I like to treat you with helpful hints and tips that will make your lives easier.

We were chatting about Heather Graham and her “Roller Girl” character from the movie Boogie Nights (starring Mark Wahlberg) the other day on 2oceansvibe Radio and, more to the point, the fact that her parents no longer speak to her. They’re very religious, you see, and apparently that is somehow linked to their disapproval of […]
