Watch a pollster eat a bug on CNN for failing to predict Trump's win.

Earlier in the election, expert pollster Dr. Sam Wang, founder Princeton Election Consortium, made a bet on CNN that he "would eat a bug" if Trump exceeded 240 electoral votes. We all know how that turned out.

No one predicted a Trump win, but CNN made Wang eat his words.

"This is a can of gourmet style crickets... gourmet from the point of view of a pet, I should say," says Wang, preparing to meet his fate.

"Before I do this, let's chat for a second. I think that the eating bug thing is in itself sensationalist and keeps us off of important policy issues, such as Supreme Court appointments," he continued, clearing trying to build the suspense for his upcoming sensationalist act.

"There are things that can happen to bring the country together." says Wang, "I think the bug thing is not one of them. I wanted to point that out."

He asks CNN anchor Michael Smerconish if he is really going to make him go through with this, and not to deny the Fear-Factor ratings potential, Smerconish holds him to his bet.

True to his word, Wang douses the crickets in honey and somberly eats a spoonful, remarking, "A lot of people were wrong, but nobody else made the promise I did."

How did it taste?

"Kind of mostly honey-ish, a little nutty."

Huh, same could be said of cable news.


Not surprisingly, Americans ordered a lot of booze on election night.

Last Tuesday night, America held its breath waiting for the results of the 2016 presidential election to come in. As the night went on, stress apparently got the better of a lot of us, because America started ordering booze. A lot of it.

Yes, America took to their delivery apps to order beer, wine, and anything else that would ensure they were anything but sober when the new president was announced. Basically, we were all watching those election returns like:

Delivery app Postmates saw a huge spike in alcohol orders on election night. A spokesman for the company told Eater that demand for alcohol was "through the roof" at 97% higher than it is on a typical Tuesday.

Postmates' competitor, Door Dash, saw a similar spike. Compared to other Tuesdays in October and November of this year, they saw 90% more orders from liquor stores and 50% more from wine bars on election night.

Postmates also saw a smaller peak in alcohol sales during the lunch hour on Wednesday, presumably from a lot of sad Clinton supporters.

Something tells me the spike in sales may last for the next four years.

The 'Nutella Burger' has arrived at McDonald's and it's surprisingly not that gross.

Select McDonald's locations in Italy have introduced the brand new Nutella burger because, to quote Alfred Pennyworth in The Dark Knight,"some men just want to watch the world burn."

Fortunately, this isn't hamburger with chocolate-hazelnut spread smeared all over the meat—it is specifically a dessert item. But hey, if it were just Nutella that came as a condiment alongside your standard pickles, lettuce and tomato, it probably wouldn't even be that bad—Nutellla is good on everything and you know it.

#NutellaBurger

A video posted by 🇪🇬 (@rim_gzl) on

The item is called "Sweety con Nutella," and appears to be a layer of Nutella spread between two buns made of soft, sweet bread. The item is served in a tradition hamburger box.

Sounds like one vegetarian burger that everyone could get behind.

The nightmare of parents on Facebook has yielded hundred of embarrassing moments for the parents, and thousands of embarrassing moments for the children.

But Kalista Adams recently discovered the horrors of having parents on Twitter, a platform that is still too confusing for most moms and dads, getting some insight into how she was conceived.

The tweet went insanely viral, with over 23,000 retweets and 64,000 likes as people contemplated the nightmare, and also applaud the couple for their passion.

People are calling it #relationshipgoals.

While Kalista is embarrassed, she does applaud her progressive parents for their sex positivity on the internet.

Vicky and Larry are not ashamed.

To quote @arianajmg, "get it vicki and larry!"

No, a list of immigrant-owned restaurants is not going to happen, says food blog.

Now that the initial shock of the election results has worn off a bit, most of us are adamantly scrolling on our screens looking what we can do to help.

In an attempt to support immigrant-owned restaurants, many people have reached out to the food blog Eater asking for a guide or a map directing them to immigrant-owned businesses within the food industry. Sounds like a great idea, right?

In a statement, Eater has denied this request for fear that it would put these businesses, their owners, and their employees all at risk. The site wrote:

"We feel that it would be irresponsible to publish guides to restaurants owned by people whose lives and livelihoods may right now be threatened, because of the very real possibility that they would double as cheat sheets to help intolerant actors find new people, businesses, and families to target. In this chaotic moment, we believe it would be indefensible to widely broadcast the cultural affiliations or immigration status of any individuals or their families without their explicit permission."

This statement brings up a very important point: While the desire to support immigrants right now is very thoughtful, we have to really think everything through before taking any immediate action. Be aware that a helpful guide for you could also be a helpful guide to someone with hateful intentions.

To be clear, though, Eater is in no way attempting to discourage people from supporting immigrant-owned businesses that surely need our help right now. The statement continued:

"That said! There's an easy way for all of us to find our local immigrant- and minority-owned businesses: Go out and look for them. In virtually every city in America, there are dozens — if not hundreds or thousands — of restaurants, bakeries, coffee shops, bars, diners, ice cream parlors, food trucks, corner stores, and street carts run by people who could use our support right now, both social and financial. Say hello, introduce yourself, and make sure they know that you're glad to have their restaurant — and them — in your neighborhood and your nation."

The statement ends with the option for immigrant- and minority-owned business owners to fill out a form giving their permission to be included on a possible list for the future.

Dr. Pimple Popper digs deep to rid this guy of his mountain range of cysts.

Looking for something satisfying to get you through the rest of the day? How about something satisfying and also gross? To fill that particular need, we turn to the internet's favorite dermatologist, Dr. Sandra Lee, a.k.a. Dr. Pimple Popper. She's got some patients with cysts that are so plentiful, or simply so large, that they take a few sessions to extract. Like this Hawaiian man/cyst-host, whose lumps are very old, and very unwilling to leave his body. Sort of like the demon in The Exorcist.

These cysts are, according to Dr. Lee's caption on YouTube, epidermoid cysts which are common, benign, and usually found on the face, neck, or trunk. They are also the most common type of cutaneous cysts, caused by multiplying skin cells that are trapped within the skin. They consist mostly of "macerated keratin" (wet skin cells), which Dr. Lee describes as having a "cheesy consistency" and "pungent odor." MMMMMM.

Please note, she is going to go to lunch right after this. Hopefully nothing with cottage cheese.

'The Simpsons' feel bad about correctly predicting President Trump back in 2000.

The Simpsons must have some psychics on staff because they have eerily predicted the future many times, including that time they called a Trump presidency back in 2000.

Hopefully signifies that we will have a woman president some time after President Trump.

Now that their prediction has come true, the show used their iconic opening sequence to address how they feel about being right. They even shared the clip in a tweet from the show's Twitter account saying, "The Simpsons updates its 2000 prediction of a Trump Presidency."

Hey Simspons, can you also do us all a favor and predict chocolate bars falling from the sky or an NSYNC reunion tour? Thanks.

7 things on the Internet you should pretend to know today.

$

Hey! How was your day? Yeah, me too. Classic case of the Mondays. But leave it to the Internet to gift us with some much-needed distraction from the horrors of reality. Here are seven things you should absolutely pretend to know about today, only two of which are related to Trump!

1. A dad's recreations of his daughter's selfies have twice the success, proving the people do love a Dad Bod.

Burr Martin, comedian and self-proclaimed "Selfie Dad," has turned his recreations of his daughter's photos into an enterprise more popular than the originals.

With Joe Biden leaving office soon (sniff sniff), Selfie Dad just might be America's Next Top Dad.

He has his balloon boyfriend to serve as Second Lady.

2. The Simpsons was right about a President Trump, and they don't feel good about it.

In their infinite, clairvoyant wisdom, The Simpsons foresaw a future in which Donald Trump was POTUS, way back in 2000. Nate Silver, The New York Times and your mom couldn't have foreseen this, but The Simpsons did. Rather than gloat and say "I told you so!" like many of the Bernie Bros out there, writers feel beyond guilty. Being right sucks.

3. A Chili's manager snatched a veteran's burger on Veteran's Day because they didn't believe the veteran was a veteran.

Chili's had a nationwide promotion to kindly thank veterans for their service with some complimentary baby back ribs (or anything else on the menu...but what else would you get at Chili's if you don't keep kosher?). When U.S. Army veteran Ernest Walker arrived with his service dog Barack, a racist manager didn't believe all of his IDs.

He even had his discharge papers. Chili's response was not as it should be.

4. Revel in the glory days with the #FriendsIn5Words hashtag.

It hasn't been you day, your week, your month, or even your year.

Travel back into the 90s, when Donald Trump was simply sexing Marla Maples and the haircuts were dictated by Jennifer Aniston.

Friends fans are reminiscing with the hashtag #FriendsIn5Words, a trending topic that sums up ten years of sitcom magic into single sentences.

It'll be there for you.

5. These thirsty parents will make you glad your folks still don't get "The Twitters."

Twitter user Kalista Adams's parents are particularly tech savvy, using the site to arrange their latest rendezvous.

There's nothing like logging into to Twitter to tweet about your lunch only to gain insight into how you were conceived. It could be happen to anyone.

6. Wanda Sykes was booed off stage for bashing Trump during her standup set. The healing's got a long way to go.

People at a Boston fundraiser did not want to hear ill words spoken of Chairman Trump, booing Sykes as she spoke her mind during her standup set this weekend.

The crowd started booing before Sykes flipped 'em the bird saying, "F*ck you, motherf*cker, fuck all of y’all," before leaving the stage.

Check out her hot takes.

7. The moment Ryan Reynolds felt that Blake Lively is "the one" was straight out of a Nicholas Sparks novel.

Perhaps the most blindingly attractive couple Blyan/Livenolds/Reyely have a storybook romance despite meeting on the set of Green Lantern.

In an interview with GQ, Reynolds told the tale of the moment he truly fell in love with the gorgeous superstar:

We were hanging out at this little restaurant in Tribeca that's open really late, and this song came on and I was just like, "Want to dance?" No one was in there, so it was just totally empty. And it was just one of those moments where halfway through the dance, it was like, "Oh, I think I just crossed a line."

We all know that Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds are an adorable celebrity power couple that makes everyone around them believe in love. (Taylor Swift cried looking at their Instagrams, for crying out loud.) I mean, come on, just look at these two.

Now Ryan Reynolds has revealed the exact moment that he fell in love with Blake Lively. In a recent interview with GQ, Reynolds described the night he realized he'd found "the one." He said he fell in love with Blake while they were on a date at a restaurant.

No, we were hanging out at this little restaurant in Tribeca that's open really late, and this song came on and I was just like, "Want to dance?" No one was in there, so it was just totally empty. And it was just one of those moments where halfway through the dance, it was like, "Oh, I think I just crossed a line."

He wouldn't say what song it was.

Needless to say, their date went pretty well. After that, Reynolds walked Lively home. "And, uh, you know, I don't really need to go into what happened after that."

Alright, you two crazy kids. Keep on being adorable.

People are freaking out about how different this woman looks when photographed at different angles.

Anyone who has ever chosen from a million selfies before picking a Tinder pic knows that angles are everything, but its never been more clear than this side-by-sude pic posted by Ashlie Molstad. A couple days ago she posted to her Intagram account what looks like a before and after pictures from a serious weight loss campaign, but were actually taken the same day, just from different angles.

Damn, posture really is everything.

Ashlie left a lengthy post, saying that if she was going to get all the likes from her posed pics, she was going to offer up her unflattering angles as well. Ashlie explains that she wants to empower people to feel good about their bodies, and that even though we all have flaws, our bodies aren't "broken."

If I'm going to show you the posed, put together, professional sides of me, I'm gonna make damn sure you see the not so flattering sides too. Because, contrary to what society has taught us to think, our worth isn't measured by how many belly rolls we have, or how many dimples on our booty, or how much jiggle hangs out on our arms. .
.
Loving ourselves exactly as we are is hard. Because we've been told for years that we're not good enough until we {insert any of the thousands of ideas of perfection that have been fed to us over the years}. But I call BS. I say that the real magic happens when we embrace who we are, at every angle and size. .

This doesn't mean I don't also struggle with embracing this body I was given, but it does mean that I understand working on loving me is the most important job I will ever have. .
.
Our bodies aren't broken. The message society is trying to tell us {by airbrushing everything, erasing dimples and rolls and fluff} is. .
.
So even though its really hard, lets remember we are worthy and beautiful and special and ALIVE. Go on and love yourself today, because THAT shit is whats inspiring. .

#StopFixingBodies#StartFixingTheWorld

It's a huge risk, but is paying off because her fans are so grateful for a little honesty.

  • watchmewheywhey - "Thank you so much for posting this"
  • angiepangie.92 - "This is awesome! I have been struggling with loving myself these past few weeks .."

So, who's ready to post one of these side-by-side pics to their Instagram?

Jimmy Kimmel asks little kids about Trump and their reactions are all of us.

Comedian Jimmy Kimmel hit the pavement to ask America's children, aka our future, for their thoughts on president-elect Donald Trump.“We’ve heard from pundits and surrogates and experts and anchors, but we haven’t yet heard from kids,” says the Jimmy Kimmel Live host before Friday's segment. Their reactions were hilariously real and on point.

In a time where most adults are yelling, crying and fighting on the internet, these little kids ironically seem to be handling this election like mature adults. Watch here and don't click out before the "Darth Trump" impression from a future SNL star:

I don't know what's more relatable, the little girl who sucks her teeth when asked to think of something "nice" to say about Trump, or the baby who just cries. And the kid who suggested our president-elect should have to clean toilets will hopefully grow up and run for elected office some day.

Maybe from now on, only children should be allowed to vote.

Marion Cotillard spills on what filming a sex scene with Brad Pitt was really like.

Filming a sex scene with Brad Pitt might sound like a dream, but it was actually more of a nightmare for Marion Cotillard, who co-stars with Pitt in upcoming thriller Allied. At an LA press conference yesterday, the French actress said filming their sex scene was "awkward" and described all the complex choreography and acting that went into it, US Weekly reports. Okay, but we need to be convinced.

"We rehearse and had a very determined choreography, and then it allows you freedom," she said. "When you know exactly what your body will do, then you can act and you can be free to give the emotions and give the feelings because you won’t think, ‘What am I going to do next? Am I going to go on top of him?’ It’s an awkward situation."

That actually does sound kind of horrible, even with Brad Pitt. “We laughed because you need to get it out because this is so weird," said the 41-year-old actress. "And so you get this time of looking at each other and saying, ‘OK, this is so weird.’ And then we go into this and then I’m going on top of you and then we are going to kiss.”

This firmly closes the already-closed door on the rumor that these co-stars had been canoodling (a word reserved entirely for sex-related rumors) on the set of Allied, leading to Pitt's split from Angelina Jolie. Which means we will have to find someone else to blame for the end of Brangelina. Because a simple divorce without any cheating rumors is not enough to get us through the winter.

Best-selling author and mommy blogger Glennon Doyle Melton, who is known for blogging about her Christian beliefs, parenting, divorce and addiction, announced in an emotional coming out post yesterday that she is dating two-time Olympic gold medalist and FIFA Women's World Cup champion Abby Wambach. Damn, talk about a power couple.

"Feels like the world could use all the love it can get right now," wrote Melton in a lengthy Facebook post, which she also shared on Instagram. “Oh my God, she is so good to me. She loves me for all the things I’ve always wanted to be loved for. She’s just my favorite. My person." She also described her girlfriend as "deeply sensitive and kind," "mushy and sweet," and "brave...not just with her words but with her entire being."

There is a lot more love (and a lot more words) in the post, which you can read in its entirety here:

Feels like the world could use all the love it can get right now. So today, I’m going to share with you my new...

Posted by Glennon Doyle Melton on Sunday, November 13, 2016

It seems like the internet really did need some positive news, because the post has been shared over a thousand times and received thousands of supportive comments.

Melton, 40, is the author of New York Times bestseller Love Warrior, who announced her divorce from her ex-husband a few months ago. Wambach, 36, announced her divorce from ex-wife Sarah Huffman in September.

Here's another pic of them from Instagram, in case you still doubt their love:

[[[LOVE WINS PART TWO, CONTINUED FROM PART ONE]]] How are we supposed to FEEL about this? My loves, here is the good news: You are allowed to think and feel WHATEVER YOU NEED OR WANT TO FEEL! Come close--because I need to explain this part well: It has been my job for so long as a leader in this community to care deeply about what you think and feel about me and the way I live my life. I have cared so much, for so long. It has been a great honor. Now we are entering a new time which calls for a different type of leadership. And now it is my job as a leader not to concern myself too deeply about what you think and feel about me- about the way I live my life. That is what I want to model now, because that is what I want for YOU: I want you to grow so comfortable in your own being, your own skin, your own knowing - that you become more interested in your own joy and freedom and integrity than in what others think about you. I want you to refuse to betray yourself. Not just for you. For ALL OF US. Because what the world needs -- in order to grow, in order to relax, in order to find peace, in order to become brave -- is to watch one woman at a time live her truth without asking for permission or offering explanation. The most revolutionary thing a woman can do is not explain herself. What I need you to know- and what I know you need to know- is that I am deeply, finally, FINE. Fine through my bones and soul and mind and just every fiber of me. You have the room to feel and react with your truth….because I am so unshakably certain inside of mine. I have officially become a woman who knows who she is and refuses to betray herself. So anyway. What I’m trying to say is. PRECIOUS WORLD: I LOVE ABBY. Love Wins. G

Yikes. Massive hack of adult hookup sites could put over 400 million users' data at risk.

This is going to get very, very messy. AdultFriendFinder, one of the world's most popular "sex hookup sites," has been hacked in what is being called the biggest hack of 2016, and one of the largest data breaches ever recorded, the Guardian reports. Bad news, Adult Friends and Friend Finders.

Back in October, email addresses, passwords, browser information, IP addresses and other information from billions of users was stolen from various sites operated by the company "Friend Finder Networks" (it's not actually for finding "friends" per se). Data on nearly 340 million users was leaked from AdultFriendFinder, plus 62 million more from video chat site Cams.com, another 7 million from Penthouse.com and millions more from several other sites.

In total, more than 412 million user records were leaked. For perspective? This is more than twelve times the size of the 2015 Ashley Madison hack, in which 33 million user accounts were stolen. The only larger data breach was Yahoo! in 2014 (the leak was announced this past September).

Leaked Source, a data breach monitoring service, blamed the Friend Finder Networks hack on the company for failing to protect passwords. “Passwords were stored by Friend Finder Networks either in plain visible format or SHA1 hashed (peppered)," they said, in a language I do not speak. "Neither method is considered secure by any stretch of the imagination.”

Friend Finder Networks was hacked before, in May 2015, when personal details on almost four million users were leaked, including login details, emails, birth dates, zip codes, sexual preferences and whether they were looking for extramarital affairs. Yikes.

Friend Finder Networks vice president, Diana Ballou, told ZDnet that Friend Finder Networks was investigating the hack and would keep customers up-to-date. It is unclear who is behind the hack. Meanwhile, Adult Friends everywhere are breathing into paper bags right now.

Watch people defend Trump's non-existent White House renovations.

In yet another hilarious and depressing segment of Lie Witness News on Jimmy Kimmel Live!, civilians shared their feelings on Trump's totally fabricated White House renovations. From Trump's proposed White House food court (complete with a Cinnabon) to a champagne fountain, people are willing to believe that President-Elect Trump is going to overhaul the most famous address in America—probably because he said so many crazy things at this point that anything seems possible.

Perhaps the one thing Trump is certain to bring back to the White House is that bigger tree for Christmas. The bigger tree will be back in a bigly way, and it will really be tremendous.

Also, would anyone really be that surprised if he painted the White House gold?

Bernie Sanders explains the best and worst case scenarios of a Trump presidency.

Bernie Sanders stopped by The Late Show with Stephen Colbert on Monday to rapturous applause. Promising Colbert he still felt "optimistic" about the country after an election season that sent him to 46 states (which sad four states did he snub?), Sanders laid out the best case scenario for Trump's America. And the worst.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=331&v=vf_XrfpdOsM

"What you do now is get involved heavily in the political process. When millions of people stand up and fight back, we will not be denied," Sanders told Colbert.

"The best case scenario is that Trump is not an ideologue... his views are all over the place. The good news is, that when millions of people say to him, you know, 'Mr. Trump, what you're talking about is nuts, let's not move in that direction,' he may actually hear those things."

As for the worst case, Sanders laid out a reality that might terrify loyalists from both parties, in which a Trump White House and a GOP controlled House, Senate, and Supreme Court unite to "change the rules of the game" so they cease to lose elections.

At this, a pall fell over the crowd, as Bernie described a way for the Republicans to "control this government indefinitely."

The vibe from the crowd seemed to be: "Shh, Bernie. Don't give them any ideas."

Sanders also spent much of his conversation on an autopsy of the Democratic Party and "where do we go from here?"

"Hillary Clinton ended up with two million more votes than Donald Trump. So don't see this as a massive success for Trump, he lost the popular vote," he began. Still, said Sanders, changes to the party are necessary.

"The truth is, Democrats should not be losing to a candidate who insults so many people, who wants to give huge tax breaks to the top two tenths of one percent, and who rejects climate change."

Note here that Sanders and Trump share one thing in common, and it is their pronunciation of the word "yuge."

"How are we losing these elections? Something is fundamentally wrong and what I'm trying to do right now is bring about structural changes in the Democratic Party so it becomes a grassroots party."
