The conceit of HBO's The Young Pope, which premieres Sunday night, seems so ridiculous that it's become something of a running internet joke: Jude Law plays a ruthlessly ambitious and altogether sinister pontiff who promises to affect radical change in the Vatican and beyond. Weird! Also, that title... yeah.

It remains to be seen whether we're seduced by this particular drama, but in the weeks leading up to its first-season run (yes, a second is already being developed), Twitter has been on fire with memes about it—to the point where Jude Law found out about the existence of memes. So here's your last chance to savor the very best before the (probably bad) show sucks the fun out of them.

So yeah, don't miss this—it's bound to be the television event of the year. Even if you're scrolling through Twitter for most of it.

Despite Trump's tweets to the contrary, Donald Trump's presidential inauguration is looking like more and more of a disaster with every passing minute. The B-StreetBand, a well-known Springsteen cover band that played the last two inaugurations, is bailing on their performance at Thursday's Garden State Presidential Gala, out of respect for Springsteen himself, who has called Trump a "moron" and a "flagrant, toxic narcissist."

Speaking to Rolling Stone, Will Forte, the band's manager, publicist, agent, and keyboard player (but not the same guy from SNL), said,

We had to make it known that we didn't want to seem disrespectful, in any way, shape or form, to Bruce and his music and his band. I don't want to upset them. We owe everything to him and our gratitude and respect to the band is imperative above all else. It became clear to us that this wasn't working and we just had to do what we thought was the right thing to do and that was to pull out.

The band had signed the contract for the gig back in 2013, but recently found themselves in the middle of a whole lot of controversy, due to the current political climate. "As time went by, the complexity of the situation became real immense and intense. The band was caught in a hurricane. We didn't see this coming, of course," Forte told Rolling Stone.

Springsteen himself hasn't said anything about The B-Street Band's scheduled performance, but the E Street Band's original bassist, Garry Tallent, tweeted, "Please tell me this is more fake news. Or at least a joke."

And Steven Van Zandt, the E Street Band guitarist, tweeted, "Nice guys. Met them. I wouldn't say right or wrong. Up to them. But it's naive to think one can separate Art and Politics. Art IS Politics."

The statements from band members, along with Springsteen's outspoken criticism of Trump, helped the band make up their mind to cancel their appearance at the inauguration. As Forte explained,

All this stuff made it clear to us that this event is not worth it. It's just a job to us. We're just trying to hold up a contract. We're not trying to prove anything. We're just a fun band!

Former Hot Chick Rob Schneider celebrated Martin Luther King Jr. Day by getting ruined on Twitter. It started after the former SNLplayer waxed moronic on King's civil rights message as a way to, apparently, condemn Representative John Lewis for his recent comments on Donald Trump.

"Rep. Lewis. You are a great person," wrote Schneider, who also wroteDeuce Bigalow: European Gigolo. "But Dr. King didn't give in to his anger or his hurt. That is how he accomplished & won Civil Rights."

Representative John Lewis, as you know, is himself a civil rights icon, who marched and worked with Dr. King. Lewis had told NBC News that he did not see Donald Trump as a "legitimate president" due to Russian interference in the election.

Schneider's message was met with the same critical response as the aforementioned Bigalow picture.

Honeymoon is over! Newlywed Margot Robbie is back to work and is practically unrecognizable as Tonya Harding on set of the new biopic ​I, Tonya.

On Monday, the first images of Robbie as Harding surfaced and showed the Australian actress donning one hell of a wig, some classic mom jeans and a totally '90s blue sweater. Marie Claire also notes that Robbie appears to be wearing a padded body suit and facial prosthetics to make her look that much more like the former Olympic figure skater.

I, Tonya focuses on the life of Tonya Harding while training for the 1994 Olympics, prior to the hit put on her rival and teammate Nancy Kerrigan by Harding's boyfriend. We all know how that story ends— in a "Whyyyyyy, whyyyyy!?" heard around the world.

The film will also star Sebastian Stan and Allison Janney, but casting for Kerrigan is not yet announced.

All right, Spencer's, this time you've gone too far. Spencer's Gifts is selling a gross T-shirt reading "Grab America By The Pussy," a riff on Donald Trump's admission that he liked to, well, "grab [women] by the pussy." A classless shirt for a classless act, right?

A woman named Mary Numair tweeted about the shirt (and posted it on Facebook), which resulted in the offensive piece of crap being pulled from the Lloyd Center Spencer's front window (but still displayed in the back of the store) after her tweet went viral.

Speaking to KGW, Bob Dye, the manager of the Lloyd Center Spencer's Gifts, said of the offensive shirt, "I find it equally as disturbing as everyone else. Regardless of which side of the political aisle you're on, it's extremely upsetting and it's wrong on every level." He added, "The assistant manager at Spencer's spoke with me this morning and she agrees with me that it's offensive. We'd love to see it out of the store completely, but if it's been moved to the back, where it's barely visible, that's a plus."

The description for the shirt reads,

He's done it again. The Donald grabbed America by the pu$$y this election, now you can too with this hilarious political tee! This laugh out loud Spencer's exclusive shirt is perfect for reminding everyone that Trump's in charge.

Right, also for reminding everyone that our soon-to-be president likes to sexually harass women.

We get it, Spencer's is supposed to be irreverent, but that t-shirt doesn't represent light-hearted humor, it's not hilarious, and it's not even political. Sexual assault shouldn't be considered funny by either Trump haters or Trump lovers.

But that's not the case, of course, because apparently plenty of people either think women being grabbed against their will is funny, or at least jokes about it (like this T-shirt) are. And Mary Numair, the woman who first posted the shirt on social media, says she's getting rape threats. Maybe people could try grabbing some decency.

The President-elect's obsession with his daughter Ivanka is creepy and disgusting, but his fixation with her does not extend to knowing her Twitter handle. Donald "If Ivanka weren't my daughter, perhaps I'd be dating her" Trump was manually retweeting a compliment from a rando about Ivanka, and in sending it out to his 20.1 million followers, tagged the wrong person.

He was trying to give Ivanka a pat on the butt.

Instead of tagging Ivanka Trump, who's Twitter handle is the easy-to-remember @IvankaTrump, Donald complimented Ivanka Majic, a digital consultant from the British seaside town of Brighton.

Inundated with replies, Other Ivanka took the opportunity to bring some good to the Ivanka name and respond.

Majic told CNN that she viewed this mistake as an opportunity. "The interesting thing about my being dragged into a Twitter conversation with Trump is that my politics are very different than his," she said.

Twitter was all for Other Ivanka's perfect response.

While it was initially @DrGoodSpine who tagged the wrong Ivanka, Trump didn't bother fixing it while he was impulsively tweeting on the toilet.

CNN repots that the tweet was retweeted over 6,000 times, favorited over 32,000 times, and got over 8,000 replies.

This was all after Trump promoted a CNN puff piece about the Ivankster, which, as Trump would say, was probably just Fake News.

Donald Trump called his "grab them by the pussy" comments purely "locker room talk" with no basis in reality.

But an incident from Connecticut is bringing the comments to real life again as a "well-known Greenwich Republican" from that small, affluent town has made national news for grabbing a woman's groin after a political argument.

Christopher von Keyserling, 71, reportedly had an altercation with an unnamed 57-year-old woman. When she said it's a "new world politically," he responded: "I love this new world, I no longer have to be politically correct."

The conversation devolved to the point where Keyserling allegedly called the woman a "lazy, bloodsucking union employee," to which she apparently tried to end the conversation with a curt "fuck you."

That's when Keyserling followed her into her office on the pretense of talking to her coworker. When the victim made to follow her colleague out of the room, Keyserling "reached between her legs from behind and pinched her in the groin area," according to the warrant for his arrest.

She told police: he "looked back with a really evil look in his eyes and said, 'It would be your word against mine and nobody will believe you.'"

The act was caught on security camera.

The woman decided to file a police report only after finding out about similar incidents involving Keyserling. He's currently out on $2,500 bail after being charged with fourth-degree sexual assault and will appear in court on January 25.

TheHow I Met Your MotherFacebook page paid homage to Martin Luther King Jr. in a completely inappropriate way on Monday by satirizing his famous "I Have a Dream" speech. The parody, written from the perspective of the fictional womanizer Barney Stinson, and is riddled with misogynistic jokes, turning Dr. King's renowned speech into a tasteless, unfunny farce.

In honor of Martin Luther King's famous "I Have a Dream" speech, Barney Stinson Would like to share his dream. #mlk#martinlutherkingday

"Today is Martin Luther King Day; he was a pretty awesome bro. He taught us to have dreams and stuff. So I thought I’d share with you mine:

I have a dream.

I have a dream that one day all bros will rise up and live out the true meaning of their creed: "We hold these truths to be self-evident - that all are boobs are created pretty good."

I have a dream that one day black and white chicks will come together in my bed.

I have a dream that all peoples of this great nation will suit up together and that polyester will be abolished forever.

I have a dream that one day, all tee-shirts will be wet and boob jobs will be free.

I have a dream that there will be a television network that shows only “Predator” 24 hours a day.

I have a dream that feels like I’m falling and then I wake up before I hit the ground. It happens a lot. Should I see a doctor or something?

I have a dream that babies don’t cry on planes, that men don’t wear Uggs, that “second base” replaces the handshake, that girls leave when you’re done, that there are no waits for cabs, that I can look at a woman’s chest area without getting a dirty look. Yeah, you wore that blouse because you don’t want me to look there.

I have a dream."

-- Barney Stinston

Dear God, read the room. Mixing the message of the esteemed civil rights leader with the casual sexism of a completely fictional character is a recipe for disaster, and while there were those who argued that the parody was funny, most of the commenters skewered the tactless post.

Although How I Met Your Mother and lovable sleaze Barney Stinson have huge fan followings, this is probably not the best way to revive the show that has been off the air for nearly three years. Plus, parodying the powerful words of a civil rights leader on a day meant to honor him (during this very turbulent time in America) is definitely unwarranted and unnecessary.

Neil Patrick Harris, who played Stintson on How I Met Your Mother, gave a much more fitting tribute to Martin Luther King on his personal Twitter page.

The internet is convinced that Lindsay Lohan is converting to Islam, but now a representative for the actress is denying rumors that she's decided to change her faith.

Speculation of Lindsay Lohan converting to Islam started circulating after she briefly returned from a social media hiatus to change her Instagram bio to "Alaikum salam," which means "and unto you be peace" in Arabic.

Lohan's mother Dina told Gossip Cop that her daughter had not converted to Islam and was simply taking a break from social media. A representative also confirmed that Lindsay had not changed faiths.

This isn't the first time rumors of Lindsay Lohan's religious affiliations have spread. Last year, she was pictured holding a copy of the Quran, and confirmed to The Sunthat she was studying the religion.

“I’m a very spiritual person and I’m really open to learning," she said. The Sun noted that Lohan had not fully converted to Islam.

I know what you're thinking, internet. "But she took a break from her social media detox to change her Instagram bio! That has to mean something!"

Well, I'm sorry to report that, at least according to Lindsay's representatives and mother, it doesn't mean anything. And even if it does, it's none of our business what religion Lindsay chooses to practice. It's her life! JUST LET LINDSAY LOHAN LIVE HER LIFE, INTERNET!

You know this toy.

This is Sophie the giraffe. It's the toy you've seen EVERY infant chewing on since before we evolved into humans. Turns out, it's disgusting.

Pediatric dentist Dana Chianese had been recommending this toy to the parents of teething infants for years. That is, until a month ago when she noticed something odd while cleaning the one she gives to her own sons.

"I decided to cut into Sophie out of curiosity and discovered a science experiment living inside," Chianese told Good Housekeeping. "Smelly, ugly mold living in my infant's favorite chew toy!"

THIS. HAS. BEEN. IN. YOUR. BABY'S. MOUTH.

It looks like the shower floor of a hostel in there, and it's the most popular infant teething toy in America.

What's happening is Sophie the giraffe has a small hole on the toy to make it squeaky, and that is how moisture is getting in and causing the mold. The instructions say to not submerge it under water, but if it's going in your baby's mouth, it's gonna get some drool.

Other parents are noticing it, too. Almost a year ago, Stephanie Oprea discovered the same problem and left this review on Amazon.

"The entire inside is coated with black mold."

Beware!! If you have a drooly baby, moisture will get in the hole and you'll end up with mold! We've had ours for two years and the entire inside is coated with black mold!

Go ahead and cut open your child's Sophie giraffe to see for yourself. And get ready to take some gnarly pics.

A spokesperson from the makers of the toy recently sent out this response:

First of all, it's important to know that Sophie la Girafe [Sophie the Giraffe] is composed of 100% natural rubber, so the cleaning instructions have to be carefully respected. As indicated on the packaging and in an explanatory leaflet inside the packaging, we recommend to clean the surface of Sophie la Girafe with a damp cloth. It should not be immersed in the water nor rinsed off, to prevent water from getting inside, as she may become damaged. We thus would like to emphasize on the fact that is it important, while cleaning the product, that no water gets inside the whole. As of now, we have not been contacted by Mrs. Chianese nor Mrs. Opera and were not aware of the situation before reading your article. It is thus difficult for us to comment on the current situation, as we haven't had the chance to examine the products. Please know that each complaint received is taken very seriously and that the return of the product is always asked for further examination. Furthermore, please know that the safety of children and satisfaction of their parents is our main priority. For the past 55 years, we have always strived to exceed security standards and all of our products comply with the most stringent global standards.

But what about the drool factor? To be safe, throw away that giraffe, and let your baby teeth on something that doesn't have a hole.

Not only can't Trump get many performers for his upcoming inauguration, he also can't seem to get many attendees. At least, that's the way it looks from this video Mike Pence posted on his Facebook wall of Donald Trump basically pleading with folks to come.

Oh, boy. Maybe Mike Pence and Donald Trump could get someone who knows how to use Facebook to teach them how to disable the comments, because ouch! There are some serious burns happening in the comments section.

She has to cheer up the 89-year-old inauguration announcer Trump fired.

She's unable to escape her burning inner city home.

He has has other, more enjoyable plans.

Laughter really is the best medicine. Besides maybe penicillin.

Yes. Yes, you did.

She'll be polishing the medal of the civil rights hero Trump dissed.

Put her down as "maybe."

Lol, senate investigation! Good one.

Paid seat-fillers are a perfect example of Trump's job creation skills.

Hasn't she heard that SNL is terrible? (Well, according to Donald Trump.)

Can't spell Streep without "pee."

Oh, right, that event the following day that's going to be so much more popular than the inauguration.

This is actually a great idea.

But don't feel too bad, fellas! There are tons of folks who are very excited to attend your inevitable impeachment hearings.

A redditor recently found himself in the middle of a stinky conflict between the students and administrators at his school. And like most passive-aggressive battles of will, this one was carried out through snippy signs. It started when someone (possibly an authority figure) locked the men's room door, and posted a sign to explain why. Then one of the boys read it, got pissy, and posted his own sign below it in response.

After the photo was shared on Reddit, it immediately sparked outrage. Commenters pointed out that whoever decided to lock the bathroom had really stepped in it.

If I were them, my top concern would be a "student shitstorm." But thankfully, this seems to have remained a #1 situation.

While the live action Beauty and the Beaststarring Emma Watson does not come out until March, Imgur user jel2930 has blessed us with a version of his own.

The ever-romantic jel2930 proposed to his now-fiancée Cara with a proposal that brought her favorite scene to life.

"This is Cara, my best friend and partner in crime," he wrote, "She grew up admiring Belle from Beauty and the Beast. Wanting to recreate the famous scene, I decided to make her the dress to coincide with my proposal."

Jel2930 got to work, and sewed a version of Belle's iconic gold dress himself.

He wrote, "This is how the project began, in a basement with a cheap sewing machine and a dream. And coffee. Lots of coffee."

That looks quite familiar.

Belle, I mean Cara, then met her prince in the periodical room of Iowa State University's Parks Library, where he got down to business by going down on one knee.

Actress Jessica Chastain expressed her disappointment regarding the Senate's "first big step" to repeal Obamacare and the effect it could have on women's access to birth control.

Then, an unlikely opponent rose its beast-like head from the Twitterverse to roar its disapproval at Chastain. It was the rarely seen abstinence monster! Summoned to the corporeal world by the smell of Twitter beef. And by its master, Milwaukee Brewers pitcher Matt Garza.

People found Garza's take slightly hypocritical. For one, Garza once told another baseball player that his wife had no business criticizing him about baseball, a "mans game." Now here's this man, Garza, talking to a woman about her healthcare.

But most people just made fun of the fact that Garza has six kids but loves abstinence.

Applying self tanner could be a messy job, especially if you are left to get those hard-to-reach places without any assistance. Some are lucky and have a partner like Matt Edwards, a 24-year-old man from Australia, who is all too happy to help his fiancée by tanning her back for her, but there is one big issue: the tanning mitts are too hand small for his manly man hands.

As a way to remedy this problem, Edwards wrote an open letter to cosmetic company Bondi Sands urging them to ditch the tiny tanning mitts for something more substantial.

Dear Bondi sands,
My fiancé, much like many other women out there enjoy your tanning products and she has no complaint whatsoever. But I do...
I, and what I could assume that many other men out there, must assist our lovely partners in their tanning procedure and this includes applying your tanning foam to places they are unable to reach.
My only and one complaint is that your application mitt is not suitable for my hands. I am, what could be assumed as average size, and can only think that this mitt does not fit many other mans hands out there.
I am sure, much of my displeasure, that my gorgeous fiancé will continue to use your lovely products regardless of my issue.
But please, in future make the mitt bigger or include an extra mitt for those men out there that must assist the women they love.
Thank you for your time.

Cue Salt 'N' Pepa's "Whatta Man."

Edwards told The Daily Mail that writing the letter showed him that he was definitely not the only dude out there who has experienced this problem.

"The amount of people to comment and the amount of guys out there that are in the same dilemma was very surprising," remarked Edwards. "Unfortunately my fiancée Sheridan suckers me into doing it for her once every couple of weeks - which I'm more than happy to oblige. But this was the last straw and I was wondering if there were any other men out there facing the same problem, and I found out they are."

Seriously though, anyone who has ever attempted self-tanner sans an applicator knows the plight of having stained orange hands for a week, and that is just no fun. Eventually Bondi Sands got back to Edwards, and offered a simple solution that will keep his hands from turning the color of Donald Trump's (though his would probably fit in the mitt in the first place.)

Hello Matt,

Thank you so much for your feedback.

We understand the issues with boyfriends/husbands/partners/BFFs when it comes to tanning, so you may be pleased to know that we have a back applicator in our range. This may eliminate you from the situation all together? We are not sure if that would make you happy or sad, as we are all about loved ones bonding over tan when they can!

We will be taking your feedback on board, along with the likes and comments in this post. This year you might see your dream become a reality. Only time will tell ...

On another note, we have a men's product that is coming out very soon that does not require a tanning mitt at all. So this may be an option for the Edwards house hold.

Thank you once again Matt.

The team at Bondi Sands x
