Guy overhears racist women at next table and proceeds to murder them with kindness.

On Thursday, singer/songwriter Jarred Wall was grabbing a bite to eat at a restaurant when he overheard two racist elderly ladies talking about their distaste for "aboriginals" over a pot of tea. Wait—old ladies, tea, using words like "aboriginals"? Everything about this sounds like a set up for a teaching moment in a sitcom.

Well unfortunately this is real life, so instead of getting angry at the bigots, Wall decided to do something kind for them to prove a point. Wait, this is like a sitcom!

Went out for lunch today. Food was great but to our misfortune we inadvertently heard two elderly ladies, seated next to us, chatting about aboriginals. The conversation was less than distasteful with words like assimilation thrown around willy nilly. I could have unleashed a tirade of abuse but that wouldn't have helped. Instead, I did something nice and bought them a pot of tea and left a little note on the receipt. Maybe these ladies will be a little wiser and think before they speak. Hopefully there won't be a next time! #blacklivesmatter#englishbreakfasttea

Wall did not stick around to see how the two women reacted, but hopefully they learned something about 1. being racists 2. being racists loud enough for people at neighboring tables to hear you.


James Corden made a soap opera with dialogue consisting solely of Beyoncé lyrics.

On Monday night's Late Late Show, host James Corden presented another episode of his compelling soap opera The Bold and the Lyrical, this time starring Meg Ryan and Adam Scott and featuring dialogue consisting only of Beyoncé lyrics.

Hmm...not too bad, some good performances, but wouldn't call it "flawless" (sorry, I'm contractually obligated to include at least one Beyoncé pun in this article).

Samantha Bee humbly requests that Matt Lauer and other journalists do their 'f**king jobs.'

Samantha Bee is back on TV after a five week hiatus. Hooray! On Monday night's episode of Full Frontal, Bee caught up on last week's Commander-In-Chief Forum, which aired on NBC and was moderated by the Today Show's Matt Lauer.

Lauer has fallen under criticism for the way he handled the forum. Many people were angry that he spent a lot of time asking Clinton extremely tough questions (mostly about her emails) while allowing Donald Trump to get away with blatant lies.

Bee echoed the sentiments of many other comedians (like TheDaily Show's Trevor Noah) in her segment as she humbly requested that, when it comes to the election, Lauer and his fellow journalists start doing their "f**cking jobs."

Well, she ain't wrong.

Miley Cyrus suffered from guilt so extreme she broke out in rashes and couldn't sleep.

In the October issue of Elle, Miley Cyrus talks about breaking free from "the system," her word for the show business industry as a whole. The 23-year-old, who's now a coach on The Voice, recently fired her publicist and swears she'll never walk a red carpet again.

Why, when people are starving, am I on a carpet that's red? Because I'm 'important'? Because I'm 'famous'? That's not how I roll. It's like a skit—it's like Zoolander.

Cyrus toldElle that while playing a 60s revolutionary in Woody Allen's upcoming Amazon series, Crisis in Six Scenes, she felt so much guilt about her life of privilege that she got insomnia and stress hives:

I was covered in rashes because I was so stressed. Even today, I dropped my water on my hike and felt like such an (BEEP). There are children being sold into sex slavery; how can I go on a hike right now? So now I try to do as much as I can through Happy Hippie.

The Happy Hippie is a foundation Cyrus started that focuses on homeless LGBTQ youth.

You have to admit, Miley Cyrus has already spent more time thinking and worrying about serious stuff in her early twenties than half of Hollywood does in their whole lives.

A Vietnamese college couple found themselves in presumably horrible pain after the guy felt "too shy" to go buy condoms and used—no.no.no.no.no.—a plastic bag instead.

According to the Mirrorby way of news site Tuoi Tre, the man and woman both had "serious injuries," including "genital lesions, abrasions and bleeding."

The couple went to the hospital and are now recovering on antibiotics.

According to the doctor that treated them, the lack of "elasticity and lubrication" of a plastic bag makes it a terrible condom. According to common sense, of course.

This is clearly an issue of lack of sex education and excess of shame. Get these kids a condom vending machine before someone uses paper instead of plastic.

11 squads that are cooler than Taylor Swift's squad.

Taylor Swift and her infamous "squad" are pretty much like the popular girls at every high school: They exclusively hang out with people who are hot, act like they're always having more fun than you, and although part of you wants to be them, a bigger part of you actually kinda hates them.

Squad members include Selena Gomez, Karlie Kloss, Sarah Hyland, Gigi Hadid, Emma Stone, Martha Hunt, Hailee Steinfeld, Cara Delevingne, Jaime King, Lena Dunham, Kendall Jenner, and Blake Lively to name a few. But this girl changes friends like she changes her underwear, so it's tough to keep up.

🎉

Over the years the "squad" has gained and lost members, but through it all, Taylor reigned supreme as leader of the group, snapping bikini-clad selfies of them on yachts, dressed up for red carpet events, or dancing carefree at concerts. In short, they're the worst.

If a bunch of skinny white models is not your idea of a good time, here are 11 squads that are much cooler than Taylor's ... and they might be easier to get into.

1. Tina Fey, Amy Poehler, Maya Rudolph and Rachel Dratch.

These funny ladies are guaranteed to make you laugh harder than anyone Taylor hangs out with.

2. Kanye, Kim, Beyoncé, and Jay Z.

Kimye and TSwift are totally rivals, which makes this squad even more appealing. Plus, bonus Diddy!

3. The cast of Orange is the New Black.

These ladies spend a ton of time together on- and off-set because they're such great friends.

Look excited. Flash flash flash. #Wewerebeyondthat #torontopride2016🌈 #oitnb #netflix

Uzo Aduba, the actress who plays Suzanne/"Crazy Eyes," is known to spend time with Taylor and the squad from time to time, but we forgive her.

Ladies remember when we went to Berlin? @uzoaduba @sheisdash

4. The kids from Stranger Things.

Although most child stars seem like nightmares, these kids are the coolest.

5. The men from Full House

Dave Coulier, John Stamos and Bob Saget remained close since their Full House days, and you would want to chill with them for the dad jokes alone.

6. The So-called "Pu**y Posse"

Okay, the "Pu**y Posse" is just hardly better than Taylor's squad, but at least they give you major '90s nostalgia.

Lukas Haas, Leonardo DiCaprio, Kevin Dillon and Tobey Maguire.

It's basically a group of men you are ashamed to have had a crush on.

7. The Final Five

The U.S. Women's Gymnastics Team that competed in the 2016 Summer Olympics in Rio seem the like the funnest, coolest, bicep-iest group around.

8. Barack Obama, Justin Trudeau, and EnriquePeñaNieto.

Occasionally, the presidents of the United States, Mexico and Canada come together to create NALS, the North American Leader Summit. They talk about how to improve international relations, the environment and the economy.

What happens when Cara Delevingne, Taylor Swift and Sarah Hyland hang out? Probably nothing interesting.

9. The Rat Pack

Originally founded by Humphrey Bogart, the group of actors and singers continued to hang out after his death in 1957. It was comprised of Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin, Sammy Davis Jr., Peter Lawford and Joey Bishop.

Somehow they are still cooler than Taylor & Co., even though they called women "broads" and were drunk a lot.

10. The Brat Pack

The Brat Pack was essentially '80s teen movie royalty. Modeled after the Rat Pack, the core group consisted of Emilio Estevez, Anthony Michael Hall, Rob Lowe, Andrew McCarthy, Demi Moore, Judd Nelson, Molly Ringwald, and Ally Sheedy.

I need an entire day of the Brat Pack. . . . #80s #BratPack #PrettyInPink #TheBreakfastClub #StElmosFire

11. The Fellowship of the Ring

These characters are not even real and they're still cooler than Taylor's brood. Do you really think Karlie Kloss will travel to Mordor with you to destroy the ring, Tay Tay? I doubt it.

Surround yourself with Sams, not Boromirs.

Couple with insane amount of patience waits 9 years to open a wedding present.

Kathy and Brandon Gunn got married on September 1, 2007, but there was one wedding present they still hadn't opened until this past May. It was from Kathy's Great-Aunt Alison, who has been married 50 years and evidently doesn't give a damn about registries. On the outside of the plain white box it read: "Do not open until your 1st disagreement."

Despite many disagreements over the years, including some that nearly ended their marriage, they never opened the box. Opening it "would have symbolized our failure," Kathy wrote in a post on the Love What Matters Facebook page. Instead, the prospect of opening the box forced them to learn to compromise and move past disagreements.

So what was inside? Some wine glasses, bubble bath, and notes telling them each to get some yummy food for dinner and chill out. Not exactly earth-shattering, but as Kathy writes, it wasn't about what was inside the box.

Posted by Love What Matters on Monday, August 29, 2016

Tonight, we tucked our kids in bed and my husband and I enjoyed a glass of wine on the deck. We were talking about how excited we were to attend an upcoming wedding in Kalamazoo (where we met and went to college) and discussing what would be the perfect gift for the newlyweds. So, I thought back to our wedding day (nearly 9 years ago) and tried to recall the gifts that had meant the most to me. The funny thing? The gift that meant the very most was still sitting in a closet… unopened.

On our wedding day, my husband Brandon and I received a gift from my Great Aunt Alison. On the plain white box was a card that read, “Do not open until your 1st disagreement.” Now, there had obviously been plenty of disagreements, arguments and slammed doors throughout our 9 years. There were even a couple of instances where we both considered giving up… but we never opened the box.

I honestly think that we both avoided turning to the box, because it would have symbolized our failure. To us, it would have meant that we didn’t have what it takes to make our marriage work – and we’re both too stubborn and determined for that. So, it forced us to reassess situations. Was it really time to open the box? What if this isn’t our worst fight? What if there’s a worse one ahead of us and we don’t have our box?!? As my Great Uncle Bill would say, 'Nothing is ever so bad that it couldn’t get worse.'

All along, we assumed that the contents of that box held the key to saving a marriage – an age old trick – unbeknownst to us rookies. After all, my Great Aunt and Uncle had been married for nearly half a century. So, we thought the box would save “us” – and in a way it did. That box went beyond what I believe my Great Aunt had intended. It was by far the greatest wedding gift of all.

For 9 years (and three moves) that box sat high on a shelf in various closets gathering dust, yet it somehow taught us about tolerance, understanding, compromise and patience. Our marriage strengthened as we became best friends, partners, and teammates. Today, we decided to open that box, because I finally had a realization. I realized that the tools for creating and maintaining a strong, healthy marriage were never within that box – they were within us.

Next time you're debating whether to drop $150 on a single Kate Spade frame from someone's registry, consider a gift like this. You'll save some dough, and by the time they open it they won't care anymore that you stiffed 'em.


I asked millennials what they actually remember about the 90s. Oh, the innocence of youth.

According to the internet, millennials yearn to relive the fashion, accessories, and entertainment of the 1990s, probably because they were too young to experience it the first time. With pop culture still obsessed with the end of the millennium, I asked young people what they can actually recall, firsthand, about the period we romanticize so much.

What I remember about the 90s: I remember feeling really excited about the turn of the century, still slightly too young to realize the ramifications of what people expected out of Y2K. To me there was just a charge of excitement in the air, but I think what I was picking up on was actually widespread panic. Anyway, people in our neighborhood were freaking out, but I was all pumped cuz my dad bought me glow-in-the-dark glasses that spelled out 2-0-0-0 across my face. That night I tried to stay awake, but just like on that episode of Arthur, I found it way too difficult to make it to midnight. Woke up the next morning and there was no technology apocalypse and I still had some sweet glowy glasses, so overall it was a pleasant memory.

Also if you didn't have Lisa Frank school supplies you might as well have stayed home on the first day.

This is why an all-female cast performed Shakespeare totally naked.

A production of ​Shakespeare's The Tempest in Prospect Park, Brooklyn this past weekend was not your grandmother's Shakespeare in the Park: The all-female cast performed completely naked to spread a message about body positivity. I'm going to go out on a limb and say Shakespeare (who may or may not have actually been a woman) would have been on board.

The free production of The Tempest, which completed its second set of performances this past Saturday, was produced by the Torn Out Theater company of New York in collaboration with The Outdoor Co-Ed Topless Pulp Fiction Appreciation Society (a real society that exists and we all should sign up immediately).

Gina Marie Russell, the actor who played Prospero, told Reuters that for her the performance was about "making a statement as a woman about female sexuality, female nudity and really trying to normalize that and make it non-sexual and non-threatening."

The director, Pitr Strait, said the show drew huge crowds (not surprising) and few people were "a little weirded out" (also not surprising). "We knew that the show was going to shake things up and make people question certain things," he said. "Even I was kind of nervous the first rehearsal and then within minutes I was like, this is normal—so normal that when we had an actor come on in clothes, she looked strange."

Fun fact: the original productions of Shakespeare plays did not allow women to act and had men play all the female roles. Times are changing! See you all at the next meeting of The Outdoor Co-Ed Topless Pulp Fiction Appreciation Society.

Sex ed sucks, according to kids everywhere.

A study published in the BMJ Openshows that kids between the ages of 12-18 in the US, UK, Ireland, Australia, New Zealand, Canada, Japan, Iran, Brazil and Sweden all have one thing in common—they think their schools suck when it comes to teaching sex ed.

The study was conducted from 1990-2015. Over the 25 years, it found a plethora of issues with the ways sexual education is being taught in schools. Students have complained about the "clinical feeling" of the way the material was presented, while others have said that schools teach nothing about sex-same relationships. One student even revealed that their teacher was so uncomfortable during her presentation that she cried through it.

Not a great intro to sex for preteens and teens.

According to Time, researchers were able to pinpoint the two biggest problems when it came to teaching sex ed: 1. Schools don't acknowledge that teaching sex ed is different than teaching something like math or science, and it needs a little finesse in order to be taught effectively. 2. Schools are not acknowledging that some students are already sexually active, which made the information "out of touch with reality, irrelevant and overly skewed toward heterosexual intercourse", according to researchers.

Make sex like this kids. Okay lesson over, time for lunch.

Combine those facts with the cringe-worthiness of listening to your English teacher talk about difference between labia majora and minora and you've got yourself a super embarrassing environment where students are afraid to ask questions, participate in discussion, or take the conversation seriously.

When you have questions but decide to save them for Google.

Study author Pandora Pound, a research fellow at the University of Bristol, told Time that the best way to improve sex ed is to let the teachers sit it out and to outsource a professional to take over.

“[It] needs to be delivered by experts who are sex positive, who enjoy their work and who are in a position to maintain clear boundaries with students,” Pound told Time. “We need to get the delivery right — otherwise young people will disengage.” An expert would also easier navigate the subjects of pleasure, same-sex relationships and consent, which are tricky subjects that are sometimes avoided.

No matter what, sitting through an awkward sex ed class is practically a right of passage for students, but maybe it is about time that sex ed actually teaches you something besides that you hate being in the same room as your classmates when your teacher says the words "penis" and "vagina."

Malia Obama's 'friends' snapchatted her playing beer pong. Time for some new friends.

A member of Malia Obama's social circle apparently sold a Snapchat photo of her presumably playing beer pong at a party in Maryland on August 23 to the Daily Mail, making one wonder: is it time for her to rethink her "friends" policy?

First of all, the eldest Obama daughter, 18, is not drinking or even holding a drink in the picture, she's standing near an ongoing game of beer pong and maybe has a ping pong ball in her hand. Wow, she sure is caught in a serious downward spiral, huh?

First it was a joint at Lollapalooza, then a bong at a party, now beer pong? My lord, it's almost like she's a college-age girl doing completely normal, college-age things. What's next, keg stands?

And second, what kind of narcing jerks is she hanging out with? Because selling a picture of someone underage and very, very famous playing a drinking game is horrible, unless you want said famous person to hate you, which, according to the look on her face in the snap, she clearly does.

Twitter also has some stuff to say about Obama's so-called "friends."

And third, what does it matter if she is playing beer pong? What does it matter if she's WINNING beer pong? (She's probably winning. She's good at everything she does.)

The trailer for Fifty Shades Darker, the sequel to Fifty Shades of Grey, just came out and it's safe to watch at work while also inspiring uncomfortable sexual feelings at your desk.

The new film, released Valentine's Day 2017, reunites Dakota "wow she's going there" Johnson as innocent submissive Anastasia Steele and Jamie "damn you fine" Dornan as messed-up dominant Christian Grey. IMDb describes the plot of this latest BDSM-lite flick as, "While Christian wrestles with his inner demons, Anastasia must confront the anger and envy of the women who came before her."

The trailer shows how Anastasia and Christian deal with those demons.

Actually, let's focus on a certain part of that last demon therapy.

Thanks.

Johnson previously told Interview Magazine that she's over filming sex scenes.

Well, we’re not having actual sex. But I’ve been simulating sex for seven hours straight right now, and I’m over it.

We'll gladly film those scenes for you Miss Johnson. Like, for free.

Yes, we're so ready for these fireworks! (Which are a metaphor for, you know, we can't say, but it feels really, really good.)

On Monday, Katy Perry took a chill break from laying down tracks in the recording studio—not to unwind with some Fiji water on a gondola like pop stars do, but to help deliver her sister's baby. Like, to moonlight as midwife. What? Cool!

As the popular meme goes, get ya a girl who can both record a platinum record and clear out the placenta.

The Daily Mirror pointed out that this wasn't Perry's first rodeo/delivery room. Perry was crowned honorary doula at her sister's first crowning as well.

Perry can add baby-delivering under the "special skills" section of her resume, which also includes motivational speaking, teenage dreaming, and roaring.

Welcome to the world, Baby Perry!

Maybe the next baby she'll help delivers will be her own? We know that her bf Orlando Bloom has the equipment.


This idiot cannot stop accidentally proposing to his GF and she's not happy.

Sometimes men do things we can't understand. It's not their fault. Their brains work in mysterious man ways. One lovable idiot, Reddit user sesto, keeps getting himself into situations that look like he's about to propose to his girlfriend, even though he's actually not. Why he thought this wouldn't seem like a proposal is beyond us:

Last week my girlfriend and I went on vacation in Stowe, Vermont. We decided to go for a walk. As we were walking, we came across this large open field with a stage in the middle of it.

ME: Oh they must have weddings here. This is really neat!

She points to a bunch of flower petals on the ground

HER: Oh yeah! Cool!

I start humming that classic wedding tune as we walk hand in hand down the field

ME: da-da-DA-DA da-da-DUH-DA!

We finally get to the stage, which is empty aside from two chairs and a small box.

ME: Woah, a ring box! Someone must have left it here.

I bend down to pick up the box. My girlfriend stands in COMPLETE SILENCE looking shocked. On one knee, with a ring box in my hand, I open the box facing my girlfriend to reveal-- an empty ring box

ME: See? Huh, too bad it's empty! Still pretty neat though.

HER: ...

I suddenly realize everything I just did and what it must have looked like

ME: Oh....Oh...Shit. Sorry.

HER: I hate you.

Oops. I ended up keeping the ring box though...it was pretty neat.

Okay, it's an honest mistake. It could've happened to anyone. And surely this is the first time he's ever accidentally proposed to this girl, right?

EDIT: To make matters worse, this is literally the fourth time something like this has happened.

Dude....

Time #1: Last Christmas I made her a DIY kit and individually wrapped all of the parts (yarn, glue, stamps, glitter, cards, etc...). I wanted her to open up the smaller gifts first because I was really excited about some of the big stuff. She asked me what she should open first, so I grabbed the smallest box I could find (it was just a rubber stamp...the size of a ring box) and jokingly said something like "I know it's what you've always wanted"...Oops.

Seriously, how are you coming into contact with so many random jewelry boxes?

Time #2: Our friend had just returned from the International Space University in France (it's a real thing). He graduated at the top of his class and they gave him a medallion in a jewelry box. I called my girlfriend into the room with the box closed and said something stupid and yeah...Oops.

Oh my God, you have to stop.

Time #3: My girlfriend started an etsy shop so I had a custom stamp made of her logo. I was excited to surprise her with it and ended up texting her the day it came in: "I have a big surprise for you when you get home!". When she finally got home I told her to close her eyes and put out her hand...Oops.

Honestly, just the fact that this guy and his girlfriend are still together after all of this is amazing. It must be true love. Here's hoping you get an actual proposal with an actual ring soon, girl.

So apparently Geri Halliwell (Ginger), Emma Bunton (Baby), and Mel B (Scary) are looking for two honorary Spice Girls to join them for a reunion concert in place of Mel C (Sporty) and Victoria Beckham (Posh), who are apparently busy with their non-Spice Girl jobs. Honestly, good riddance to them—you'll be a better Spice Girl. What name are you going to pick? Dibs on "Slutty Spice!"

According to the International Business Times, the Girls are planning to find replacements in a reality TV show format, much like America's Got Talent, for which Mel B is already a judge.

By the way, when I was growing up, all the girls on the playground wanted to be Sporty Spice. Now I see that this is ridiculous, and that you're a chump if your favorites aren't Ginger or Scary, the linchpins of the whole group and also the ones with the best hair. Baby is important for pure idiotic attitude. Posh was always obviously disposable except as a wearer of tiny dresses, and Sporty mostly just did flips I think? So yeah, if you're cast you'll get to perform with the three best Spice Girls. Audition!

Seminal cartoon South Park is back for it's 20th season, and thanks to us living in truly stupid times, it looks like the show has plenty of material to draw upon for its upcoming 10 episodes.

Help us, Matt Stone and Trey Parker.

This teaser for the new season takes on the Colin Kaepernick controversy. Last month, Kaepernick chose not to stand for the National Anthem because he, "is not going to stand up to show pride in a flag for a country that oppresses black people and people of color."

Colin Kaepernick is great.

Oh, no, I just said cops are pigs.
Who’s gonna help me get my stuff?
Why did I listen to Colin Kaepernick? He’s not even any good.
Oh, I just got all my stuff back
Cops are pigs again, cops are pigs.
Colin Kaepernick’s a good backup.

According to other recently released photos and clips, this season will also take on the Presidential election (this would be a good time for the giant douche/turd sandwich metaphor to make a reappearance) and Black Lives Matter.

South Park previously announced its 20th season with this hilarious teaser that looked back on 19 years of fart jokes, children cursing, and killing Kenny.

For those of us waiting patiently for South Park to parody what seems like an un-parody-able several months, the new season premieres September 14th at 10/9c on Comedy Central.

Congratulations! It's a Baldwin! Late Monday night, Hilaria Baldwin, wife of Alec, posted a picture on Instagram of herself cradling their tiny new son, named Leonardo Ángel Charles Baldwin (because the richer you are, the more names you can have). He's so little he hasn't even grown that Baldwin hair yet.

This is the third child for the Baldwins, who also have a son named Rafael Thomas, 14 months, and a daughter named Carmen Gabriela, 3. Alec also has daughter Ireland, who's now 20, from his previous marriage to Kim Basinger.

Nothing goes better with pregnancy than a pair of four inch heels.

Congrats, Baldwins!
