The South Africa Police Service – a bastion of efficiency, and relatively humourous accents. Ever tried calling 10111? No answer, right? Exactly. Because every South African police service man or woman is out on the STREETS. Bam. Chew on that rubber bullet, critics. But in all sincerity, we’re pretty lucky to have a decent police […]
Part-time-model, unruly brat and general pretender, Shaun Oakes, chirped me the other day in the comment section of an article, after I revealed that I was in matric in 1994 (it happened to be Freedom Day and I was discussing the 1994 election). He was going for the tried and tested, “are you that old” […]
Roman’s Duckie The Biggest Private Yacht In The World – Russian billionaire Roman Abramovich’s new yacht, measuring nearly 560 feet long, is the biggest private yacht in the world. The yacht, named Eclipse, reportedly features a missile defense system, an anti-paparazzi laser shield and at least one mini-submarine. The Eclipse is also said to have […]
Not content with being a “reputable” and “upstanding” news source, the Mail & Guardian has joined the likes of 2oceansvibe and Naspers’ News24, in an unprecedented move, featuring the word “fuck” in a news headline. Fucking hell! (article here) With 2oceansvibe being banned in the likes of Nedbank, Macqaurie and Virgin Active gyms (even though […]
Got a little cash lying around lately? Maybe you came into a small tax windfall, or scooped an inheritance lump-sum (my condolences). Or maybe you’re a cocaine drug lord with a pile of money as obscene as your company’s human resources manifesto. You’re gonna get the itch to blow all that nose candy profit on […]
I am getting pretty excited about my new iPad which will be in my hands in a couple of weeks. With that in mind, I found myself browsing the net for accessories. Needless to say, Louis Vuitton have come up trumps with their range of iPad covers. Just LOOK at these beauties! I would probably […]
Morning boys and girls. By golly, do we have some fun for you this morning. Ever been the victim of camera theft? Ever thought a retrieved photo of your sun burnt gluteus maximus might pave the way for you recovering your camera? Well, you can think it now. We got this email from a truly […]
Yeah, thanks for asking. Look, I’ll be honest, things are going pretty well. I basically made the first move with the “piece” I wrote the other day about SkyNews anchor, Mark Longhurst, and the terribly awkward crush he has on SkyNews presenter, Charlotte Hawkins. You can read up on that here. Naturally the story was […]
The June 2010 issue of Vanity Fair I’m so stoked I came up with this whole World Cup Football idea, because now even Vanity Fair, the greatest magazine on earth, has joined in the vibe! Their latest cover (click on the left menu to subscribe) features both Didier Drogba and Cristiano Ronaldo, photographed by Annie […]
The last time I sat you down and had something important to say, it changed your life. Right? Of course it did – because I love you, and you love me, my pretties. Turn the TV off. Yes, turn it off. And bring your loved ones to the screen, they need to hear this too. […]
Thanks to everyone who submitted entries to the Sony Ericsson / 2oceansvibe competition to win an all-inclusive trip (plus a pair of tickets) to the 2010 Football World Cup Portugal vs Brazil game in Durban. We were well impressed with the effort you all put into your answers, as well as the creative you set […]
My beautiful babies, Daddy has snuck out of town for a month. I know I should have told you properly before I left, but if I had done that, you wouldn’t have let me leave. Everyone knows that an “Eagle Claw,” when performed by a model, is infinitely stronger than a Pit-Bull’s lock jaw. I […]
I can imagine the students getting quite excited about this – hence the brands decision to enter the market in Rondebosch – UCT’s stomping ground. Like you, I too am wondering how glitter for your ass would differ from normal glitter. Or, more to the point, why is The Cartridge Factory Shop in Rondebosch selling […]
If you get a suspicious email from someone named “Mike” in reply to an advert you posted online, DON’T EVEN REPLY. That is, of course, unless you want the world to laugh at your expense. A sort of consumer-watchdog version of our beloved David Thorne‘s 27bSlash6.com, DontEvenReply.com is subtitled “Emails from an asshole”, and is […]
Boom! Someone Tried To Blow Up Times Square – A failed car bomb smoked, popped and shut down Times Square, causing panic, evacuations and confusion Saturday on one of the tourist spot’s busiest nights. Most of the streets in the area were reopened Sunday morning, though a heavy police presence remained in the area. And […]

So the poster for 50 Cent’s new movie is out. Before I say anything, I think it’s best if you just bask in its glory. It’s almost too beautiful for words. I’m having trouble breathing. “One gun, many lives lost.” GUN. Like, singular, right? You think maybe the one on the left is called Gun, […]
Regular readers will know that I’ve worked on all sorts of campaigns over the last eight years – with most of them being very unique and different and fun in their own way. I have been working with the Smirnoff Experience “Mashup Street” with Tiesto vibe over the last few weeks and I can categorically […]
See, we told you it was the era of the instanet. Mweb offers cheap uncapped ADSL, and all of a sudden businesses everywhere are freaking out, losing their heads in acts of reckless generosity as they bring South Africa up to speed with the global village. Like Skyrove, who’ve gone and hooked Capetonians up with […]
People are surprised when they find out how strict I am when it comes to seat belts. Much like Nick Goldblatt (Golders), I refuse to drive or let passengers join me without them wearing one. Even when the Cape Royale chauffeur drives me around, I buckle up in the back seat. Some people forget to […]
Last week we gifted you an article about those beer-can stickers that allow you to have a sundowner on the beach without getting arrested. Very cool. But not cool enough, for the serious beer-drinkers out there, it seems.. The more laddish lads out there will be enthused at the suggestion of this new beer aquapack […]

It’s always a pleasure to see 2oceansvibe Weather Girls killing-it on the instanet. Take Lyndall Jarvis, for example, who joined Julz for the debut “On The Couch” episode for Car Magazine’s website. “CARtv’s Juliet McGuire chats to her friend Lyndall Jarvis, who was voted FHM’s Sexiest Woman in the World, about her motoring adventures, what […]
When it comes to headlines as incredible as that, I don’t think it’s right to mess around talking about nonsense. You want me to get to the point, right? Simply put, Sony Ericsson and 2oceansvibe have put together an EXCLUSIVE competition starting RIGHT NOW and ending on Monday, May 3 at 10h00. Portugal vs. Brazil […]
Well it really is all the rage now, isn’t it? Models without Photoshop and now models without makeup. In five years from now the big brands will be bowing down again to further pressure and will be using the ugliest girls they can find. You know, to show how “real” they are. Not that I […]

We’ve covered the Swedish royals on the pages of 2oceansvibe before. You will recall the heartwarming story of Princess Victoria who took a shining to her fitness trainer and went on to marry him. Not exactly what King Carl and Queen Silvia had in mind, but hey, you can teach him to use a knife […]
Our more trippy readers might know that the Afrika Burns festival, South Africa’s newest excuse to get totally baked in the desert, wrapped up on Tuesday after five brightly-coloured days of parallel universes, flying dragons and fire. And lets not forget the odd bout of “let’s chain the 11 year olds to the front of […]
