This has been in the news cycle for about a week now, so it’s not exactly hot off the press stuff. Nevertheless, I thought you ought to know that a restaurant in Arizona is GRINDING UP OUR EFFING LIONS FOR BURGER MEAT. Didn’t any of those cruel bastards watch the lion king? I’m not feeling […]
News items like this only come around once every few years. They remind you of why Ian Fleming was such a genius, as he churned out the iconic James Bond novels – most of which featured extremely hot woman spies. With Kim Jong il as today’s real-life Bond villain, and this smoking hot Russian spy […]
Cape Town Woman Blows Too Hard – Any sexual innuendos in that headline were purely coincidental, as we learn about Yvonne, the Cape Town woman who got too keen with her Vuvuzela and ended up rupturing her throat. “Ripping her windpipe” is how they also described it. Check her pic out after the jump. I […]
Amazon sales of the vuvuzela have increased 1000% – did you know that? But that’s not all – The first vuvuzela was blown in Camps Bay by Christian Stewart in the late 50’s – did you know that? Ok, I was kidding about one of those statements. But which one is it? Check out the […]
I was feeling particularly generous this morning, so I decided to find a solution to Seth’s toast problem. Enter the personal flame thrower. How awesome is this? For just a thousand US dollars, you can have hard toast whenever, and wherever you want. And there’s an added benefit, Seth. Talking to the manager is effective, […]
It is a pity that successful breakfasts are so hard to come by in Cape Town. the two most important things, crispy bacon and hard toast, are still, clearly, too much to ask. The Muse and I made the fatal error of getting breakfast at the Waterfront on Saturday morning. Why were we not at […]
Angelina Jolie To Play Cleopatra – Claudette Colbert was divine as Cleopatra in 1934, but nothing can top Liz Taylor wearing ’60s style togas and makeup, croaking “Caesar, what’s boinin’?” Well, now, it’s been announced that Angelina Jolie will be the next Cleo, possibly with Brad as Marc Anthony. I have no doubt he’ll absolutely […]
A new study suggests that people prefer to travel South. Real-world experiences underlie avoidance of northern routes, Brunyé proposes. Young children learn that as objects and locations get higher, they become harder to attain. Examples include reaching for a toy on the counter, climbing the stairs and jumping. An ingrained notion that “up is difficult” […]
I enjoyed “An Inevitable Production” at the bottom. [thanks clinton]
There are a lot of iPhone apps out there and, as much as I would like to focus on all of them, my attention has been fully diverted to the new kid on the my block, the iPad. By the way, did I tell you that I subscribed to 12 issues of Wallpaper magazine for […]
You gotta give the Dutch credit – they certainly get A for effort in the fandom stakes. I’ve received a tumultuous load of emails with these pics and didn’t know where to start. Luckily I found a fellow blogger, blacknotes.co.za had done the necessary. Seriously – that’s nothing.. Crazy cars – crazy people.. Check it […]
The best thing about the Eyjafjallajokull eruption, besides its name, was the brace of rocking pictures that it produced. At the forefront of the photographic excellence was the Boston Globe. Luckily, the guys at the Boston Globe, in addition to being unbelievable photographers, also have a great sense of humour. So ask yourself, what’s the […]
Germany Destroys England – Send Them Packing – Teamwork – that was the difference between England and Germany on Sunday evening. The English relied on flashes of brilliance from their lavishly paid collection of stars, while Germany played as a unit, worked together and worked for each other. In the end, the 4 -1 routing […]
Remember the time when you were talking to that perfectly normal friend-of-a-friend at a braai? He was into futures trading or whatever, and didn’t have any abnormal ticks of any kind. A totally enjoyable human being. And then, WHAM, he tells you he’s crazy about Lego. Thirty years old, and still clinging to Lego. You […]
What a fun show it was this morning! We gave out a ton of Havaianas slops and Sunglass Hut vouchers, we celebrated the life of Michael Jackson on this, the one year anniversary of his death. And by celebrated, I mean we played two of his tracks on VINYL – because that is very much […]
Oh yes, he’s gone and done it again. In case you missed the previous David Thorne‘s, be sure to catch Party in Apartment 3, Logo Design, the incredible Spider Drawing Emails, Blockbuster Video, Protecting The Community, Nowhere in the Bible Does Jesus have a Sword Fight and Don’t Even Reply. Once you’ve done that, you […]
The number of small but pleasing World Cup software add-ons is growing by the day. Remember the little Google Maps vuvuzela man? Cool stuff like that. Of course they’re trivial gimmicks, but they’re official tips of the cap to our lovely country, so it gives me great pleasure to present YouTube‘s World Cup gimmick offering.
You’ll recall the awesome ad that my buddy Colin Jeffery in the States (The Advertising Guy) did with Goldfish (The Blonde & Baby Jesus). Remember, it’s the one where the hamsters drive a KIA car with Goldfish playing on the system. Check the commercial out here. Incidentally, the same Goldfish tune Colin used in the […]
What was is essence a Pumaunity art exhibition, showcasing world-renowned painter, Kehinde Wiley’s football masterpieces, turned into a ripper of a party on Wednesday night. I found myself settled with a good gaggle, including Passion from Dirty Skirts, Stormers center Morgan Newman, e-TV weather stud Derek Van Dam (with new haircut), DJ Richard Hardiman, funniman […]
The King Of Pop Died A Year Ago – Today is the one year anniversary of the death of Michael Jackson. I trust I won’t be the only one wearing white socks today, in silent tribute to the King of Pop. Shimone! [peace] Italy Are OUT! – Slovakia survived a late onslaught to beat Italy […]
You are absolute right for thinking that there is another live 2oceansvibe Radio broadcast tomorrow from 8am to 10am, as we move closer to our debut in the Cape Quarter – which is soon to be the new full-time home of 2oceansvibe Radio. Just to keep you in the loop, what we’re doing is we’re […]
A lot of people have had their hearts broken in this world. What’s your tale? Maybe it’s the guy in your office, he’s perfect, and you’re invisible. Maybe your wife wakes up after 30 years of blissful marriage and tells you that from here on in, her name is Gerald. Or maybe you walked in […]
I’ll be honest, I’m settling into the iPad quite nicely and starting to incorporate it into everyday life. I genuinely find typing on it (in portrait) an absolutely pleasure, typing at virtually the same speed as I do on a normal keyboard. Look at me, being all detailed and informative, like I’m not on my […]
Celebrities Boycotting BP – Lady Gaga, Justin Bieber and the rock band Korn are just some of the celebrities coming out against BP and protesting the oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico. Lady Gaga is joining Korn’s Jonathan Davis in a boycott of the troubled oil giant British Petroleum (BP). In a statement issued […]
ThinkGeek.com, one of the greatest online stores ever to have existed in the civilisation of humankind, is selling Canned Unicorn meat (“a great source of sparkles!”). Let’s just enjoy that for a moment. Unicorns, as we all know, frolic all over the world, pooping rainbows and marshmallows wherever they go. What you don’t know is […]
“She’s out of my league”… those crushing words have been uttered many times in a variety of awkward social situations ranging from slurred bar speak to side-by-side urinal talk. That phrase may be damning, ego-deflating and self-deprecating, but somehow it still doesn’t stop 10s from locking arms with 5s. Come on be honest… when you […]
Aah yes, finally! The de facto home of Cape Town’s cool, Café Caprice is loved by a band of loyal fans from locals to international stars and sportsmen, and its unique events and initiatives never fail to impress, with the Soccer Babes Calendar shoot being no exception. 1 X angel After gathering up some of […]
Wow. You know when an entire society grows up with a certain ultra-influential cartoon character, and that cartoon character subtly peddles cocaine to other cartoon characters, and then suddenly in the 1970s, when all the guys and girls who grew up with that character become the first generation to vigorously export cocaine around the world? […]
I featured the all new Google Maps Street View vibe the other day (on the iPad nogal), and, whilst I was able to show you some of 2oceansvibe’s favourtie landmarks, I’ve been DYING to get some roadside funnies captured by the Google Street View cameras. Finally, 24 Apollo Road in Ocean View, just outside Kommetjie, […]
