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 […]

It comes with the iPhone’s beautiful, crisp Retina display, an A4 chip, a gyroscope, an HD video recorder on the back, and a […]
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 […]
It takes a lot to impress the tribal council, here at the 2oceansvibe Lair, and we have to give it to the people who worked on this bit of Mercedes Benz exposure. Check it out – spotted in Cavendish Square: Something wrong with that picture, right? Remove the car, and this is what you get: […]

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. But we thought it was worth the time to point out, on record, that Putin only spends part of his time shooting sea behemoths from rubber dingies, swimming in frozen Siberian lakes, hunting Brown Bears with […]
Paul Allen’s yacht, “Octopus” Microsoft’s Paul Allen Sues Everybody – Microsoft’s co-founder Paul Allen has filed suit against nine companies over patent violations, including Apple, Google, AOL, Facebook, ebay, Netflix, Yahoo, and YouTube. The claims involve patents which cover integral parts of how those companies do business. Eg. one patent allows site suggestions for consumers […]
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’ve already had that conversation about how we don’t make phone calls unless absolutely necessary, right? We text first. Okay? Okay. But some of you came to me recently, with […]
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 […]
Sumos…Big hands = big slaps Anyone who knows a thing or two about the intricacies and nuances of life as a Sumo Wrestler (pfft, who doesn’t?) will understand that the Sumo is a creature bred for power, weight, and a surprising degree of flexibility. But they’re definitely not bred for texting, or email, or any […]
I found myself absolutely killing it outside the vida e in Green Point this weekend, and I realised that I still haven’t told you about my new toy, the Vespa GTS 250 i.e. And that “i.e.” at the end doesn’t mean “id est,” as you often see in english sentences, it refers rather to the […]
Unbelievable scenes this last week as the latest wave of TBG (Tall Blonde Guy)hysteria hits Cape Town. The revelation that The TBG was the inspiration for the recent Roger Federer Gillette commercial, really did own topical conversation this last wee. It was only a matter of time before another TBG sighting was made. This time […]
Word is spreading like wildfire through 2oceansvibe headquarters that a British photographer, by the name of Nick Gleis, managed to sneak onto the private jets of a number of Seth’s closest confidants, who also happen to be the steward’s of many of Africa’s most glorious revolutions. These hallowed men include the likes of Bob Mugabe, […]

All I’m saying is 2oceansvibe Radio are broadcasting from the new MWEB store in Canal Walk on Friday! Can you imagine the chaos? And I will add to that by saying there will be a stink-load of celebrities pulling in to keep the momentum going as we keep the vibe pumping and give away prizes […]
Singapore – Doesn’t suck We’re already living in a global village. So the idea of national borders is becoming increasingly strained. Gallup has released data describing where in this big village respondents would re-locate if exorbitant costs (i.e. Visas and travel fees) and international borders weren’t part of the process. “Sulplise!” Most people said they’d […]
You know when you think of something one day, then you suddenly get reminded of it everywhere you go? Like to other day I was in a sports shop looking for toys and very nearly bought badminton racquets and a shuttlecock (try not to laugh). I decided not to, but the next day on iol.co.za […]
Harry Potter and The Sorcerer’s Stone ripped off Walt Disney’s Fantasia… well, at least the title of that famous 10-minute symphonic clip of Mickey Mouse and his magic shrooms brooms. Seventy years later we have the live-action The Sorcerer’s Apprentice, which has taken revenge on Harry Potter with a knock-off adventure. It’s a vicious cycle […]
