I consider national napping day a religious holiday.

5. Kellyanne Conway, because she thinks microwaves work for Obama.

Kellyanne Conway is currently the butt of jokes around the world, which can only mean one thing—she said something in public.

During an interview on Sunday night at her home in Alpine, New Jersey (which features New Jersey-themed pillows—yikes), Conway was asked about President Donald Trump's evidence-free claims that President Obama had wiretapped Trump Tower to spy on him. Ignoring the question, Conway started listing methods of surveillance, including "microwaves that turn into cameras." She added, "We know this is a fact of modern life."

Once again, she inadvertently turned herself into a meme.

Pressed on the issue during a spate of media appearances on Monday morning, Conway admitted, "No, of course I don't have any evidence for those allegations." She clarified, "I'm not in the job of having evidence."

At this point, she should be happy she's in a job at all.


4. Regis Philbin, because he forgot he hosted America's Got Talent.

Somewhere, there's a painting of Regis Philbin with an appropriate amount of energy for his age.

Regis Philbin is a man of many talents—rapping, hosting talk shows, hosting game shows, tolerating Kathy Lee, aging gracefully… but after approximately 120 years in show business, you can't blame him for having a hazy memory of his own resume. Cornered at LAX by TMZ goons, Philbin was asked what he thought about new America's Got Talent host Tyra Banks. He couldn't figured out why they were asking him, until they (and his wife Joy) reminded him that he hosted the first season of the show way back in 2006.

Of course, once his memory was jogged, Philbin was more than willing to wish Banks and the whole AGT team a hearty good luck. His greatest talent has always been feigning enthusiasm.


3. Ivanka Trump, because SNL got her good.

Why is she supposed to be off-limits again?

Compared to most of the members of her father's entourage, Ivanka Trump has it easy. While they're constantly being raked over the coals for their inability to defend the president's wildly paranoid and offensive outbursts, she gets to ride above it all. Even when she does become the brunt of the internet's jokes, it doesn't usually stick in the way "Obama spying through microwaves" does.

But leave it to Saturday Night Live to ask, "Why?" In a commercial spoof this past weekend, guest host Scarlett Johansson introduced Ivanka's new fragrance, Complicit.

Seriously, she's one of her father's closest advisers. Stop acting like she's the Princess Peach held captive in Bowser's castle.


2. This lumpy-legged bandit who was caught trying to smuggle 10 pounds of cocaine into New York.

On March 4, U.S. Citizen Juan Carlos Galan Luperon was stopped by Customs and Border Protection at New York City's JFK Airport after a flight from the Dominican Republic. According to CPB, "Mr. Luperon exhibited numerous signs of nervousness and his pants appeared to be rather snug." When they removed his suspicious pants, they found something truly bizarre.

While it may look like he's just some sort of lumpy mummy or Michelin Man, those are packages full of cocaine taped around his legs. All in all, his thunder thighs contained 10 lbs. of the illicit drug, with an estimated street value of over $164,000 (maybe a little less because of the B.O.).

Luperon was turned over to Homeland Security on federal narcotics smuggling charges. In addition to serious jail time, he faces the greatest punishment of all: having all that tape ripped off his legs.


1. Whoever owns this house on Lake Ontario.

This is why you build a retaining wall.

After five days of powerful winds and bitter cold, the people of upstate New York are starting to wonder when March will go out like a damn lamb already. But one homeowner on the shore of Lake Ontario has it especially rough, because their lack of a retaining wall meant there was nothing to protect their home from the freezing lake water.

Images and video of the ice-encased home went viral after being shared by Twitter user @john_kucko. It's pretty entertaining, as long as it's not your house.

While it might not seem like an ideal piece of property to most of us, it would serve Superman very well as a new Fortress of Solitude.

Church accidentally promotes atheism with poorly-designed sign. Internet goes nuts.

A post to Reddit's "Mildly Interesting" community has the internet salivating over one of its favorite categories: poorly-spaced writing disasters. It's classic internets, this time in the form of a church sign.

You see it, right?

"God is nowhere," the result of letters jammed together like subway commuters, was likely meant to read "God is now here." That's probably a little more appropriate for a church sign.

Or as Reddit prefers, you could read it as "god, I snow here." Or"Go dis nowhere."

But seriously, the series of tubes you call the internet is primarily powered by this poor spacing stuff. (And so is SNL. "I'll take Anal Bum Cover for $7000," Trebek.) Here's a few more gems from over the years:


PS: Our deepest apologies if this church sign was actually designed as a deep reflection on the nature of religion and the almighty, or put up by a disgruntled church employee fully aware of the message.

Chris Hemsworth shows off his Thor muscles in intense workout video.

We all know that it takes a little bit of work to maintain a superhero body, but if Chris Hemsworth's latest Instagram video is any indication, it's way more work than I'm willing to do.

Hemsworth posted a video to Instagram on Saturday showing the intense workout he undergoes to keep his Thor muscles in shape.

In the caption, Chris Hemsworth gave a shout out to "world's best trainer" (evil genius?) who designed his workout, Luke Zocchi. Zocchi worked with both Hemsworth and Cate Blanchett on Thor: Ragnarok. If Hemsworth's muscles are any indication, Zocchi seems to be pretty good at his job.

Well, watching Chris Hemsworth's workout has sufficiently exhausted me. I'm going to go get a burrito and take a nap.

Blake Lively just shared the best piece of advice she has ever received on CTV's eTalkand seeing that she is a successful actress, mother, and is married to Ryan Reynolds, we should probably listen to it.

He's definitely the cherry on top of the "perfect life" sundae.

The advice came from Lively's mother, further confirming that moms are infinite fountains of wisdom that we take for granted until we are adults.

"Whatever it was, whether I was doing a school project, I was doing something creative, she would always say, 'You can't mess it up'," explained Lively. "I mean, I could mess it up really severely, but just the fact that she told me I couldn't almost made me feel like I couldn't."

That's all it takes!

"I took risks and I would do things I otherwise would have limited myself with," she continued.

Yes, perfect advice to tell your children before they get old enough to realize that they in fact can, and will, mess many things up.

Last week, Peoplereported that Jenny from the Block is dating another Bronx hero. Jennifer "J.Lo" Lopez and Alex "A-Rod" Rodriguez are a match made in celebrity couple nickname heaven, henceforth known as J-Rod.

Many people were suspicious of the internet rumors, because they're, well, internet rumors. But Jennifer Lopez shared a snapshot on her Instagram story on Sunday that sure appears to have blown her cover with some sensual hair-sniffing. She appears cuddly with a man whose chin sure looks like Alex Rodriguez's.

Jennifer Lopez quickly deleted the picture, perhaps because she was getting too many requests about what exact shampoo it is that A-Rod likes so much. That, and the PDA.

Texas lawmaker proposes a 'satirical' bill that would fine men for masturbating.

A democratic lawmaker from Houston, Texas has proposed "satirical" legislation that would fine men $100 for masturbating and require rectal exams before vasectomies and prescriptions for Viagra. State Rep. Jessica Farrar said her bill, filed Friday according to the Huffington Post, is meant to highlight the struggles faced by women trying to get health care under Texas' strict GOP-led reproductive laws.

As it stands, Texas requires a 24-hour waiting period between a required consultation and receiving an abortion. Another measure requires women to have a medically unnecessary transvaginal ultrasound while listening to the fetal heartbeat before they can get an abortion, according to the Texas Tribune. Farrar says this measure just "messes with women's heads."

Although HB 4260 is satirical, there is nothing funny about current health care restrictions for women and the very real...

Posted by State Representative Jessica Farrar on Saturday, March 11, 2017

Farrar's bill, HB 4260, would legislate invasive restrictions on men, the same way Texas laws currently restrict women's access to safe healthcare. For example, there would be a fine for masturbating ("emissions outside a woman's vagina") which "will be considered an act against an unborn child, and failing to preserve the sanctity of life.”

Not only that, but if men persist in masturbating, they would also be required to store their "emissions" in order to make them usable for future conception. Can't waste any of that sacred baby-makin' sperm! Those are the seeds of life.

The bill would additionally allow doctors to make choices about men's healthcare based on their own "personal, moralistic, or religious beliefs," meaning they could refuse to perform elective vasectomies or prescribe Viagra.

HB 4260 also imposes a 24-hour waiting period on vasectomies, colonoscopies, and prescriptions for Viagra, along with "medically unnecessary" rectal exams.

Speaking to the Texas Tribune, Farrar said

What I would like to see is this make people stop and think. Maybe my colleagues aren’t capable of that, but the people who voted for them, or the people that didn’t vote at all, I hope that it changes their mind and helps them to decide what the priorities are.

Kim Kardashian gets emotional in first public comments about her Paris robbery.

Since being robbed at gunpoint in Paris this past October, Kim Kardashian has kept a relatively low profile, especially when you compare her to the selfie obsessed PR-machine she used to be. For the first time since the scary incident, Kim is opening up and getting very real about the horrifying robbery that changed her life.

In this preview of next week's episode ofKeeping Up With the Kardashians, Kim recounts her terror as she goes through the details of the night of October 3rd to her sisters Kourtney and Khloe.

"I was like, I have a split second in my mind to make this quick decision ... am I going to run down the stairs, and either be shot in the back -- like, it makes me so upset to think about it," recalled Kim, breaking into tears. "But they're either going to shoot me in the back, or if I make it and they don't, if the elevator does not open in time or the stairs are locked ... there's no way out."

In January, 16 people were arrested and 10 were charged in connection to the robbery that left Kardashian bound and gagged. According theLos Angeles Times, charges include robbery, kidnapping, conspiracy and possession of a gun, ammunition and fake documents.

Comedian destroys racist audience member who just had to bring up 'brown people.'

Scottish comedian Janey Godley is no fan of racists.

So when, during a show at Glasgow's Wild Cabaret on Thursday night, an audience member visiting from Canada told her that he liked Scotland because it had no "brown people," she wasn't afraid to lay into him. Godley, who went viral last year for greeting Trump to Scotland with a sign saying "Trump is a c*nt," is pretty fearless.

After the "brown people" comment, she roasted that racist punk over an open fire, and invited the rest of the comics on the bill to do the same. And then, just to sweeten the justice, she shared the story on social media, where it's going viral.

Of course, Godley was quick to point out that the incident is not a reflection on the people of Toronto or Canada.

Meanwhile, her fans are lining up to pat her on the back.

But as always, a few trolls came out to criticize her. But do you think she backed down?

When are people going to learn not to challenge her? And not to be racist either. That would be great.

Boaty McBoatface's namesake is setting sail for Antartica this week.

Good news for anyone who loves scientific research vessels with ridiculous names: Boaty McBoatface lives!

In case you're unfamiliar, Boaty McBoatface became a household name last year when researchers at Britain's Natural Environment Research Center had the brilliant idea to hold an internet poll to name its new polar research vessel. While the name Boaty McBoatface (obviously) dominated the poll, scientists weren't too excited about giving their £200 million research vessel such a silly name. So, the internet poll was ignored and the vessel was named after naturalist and broadcaster Sir David Attenborough.

However, not wanting to be total party poopers, the NERC didn't completely ignore the poll results. According to the BBC, a trio of underwater robotic submarines will carry on the Boaty McBoatface legacy. The submarine that will kick off the "adventures of Boaty" will set off on its journey to Antartica this week.

People on the internet were delighted to hear that Boaty was back.

Bon voyage, Boaty McBoatface. Make us proud.

This teen runner's epic "promposal" is going to be pretty tough to beat.

High school "promposals" seem to get more elaborate every year. But this one is going to be tough to beat this year. Joran Fuller, local hero, managed to turn a cardio workout into a highly creative and romantic way to ask his date to prom. His date, Claire Short, shared photos of the "promposal" on Twitter where it has gone viral. Clearly, she said yes.

"But did your prom date run 5.5 miles to ask you," she wrote.

No, Claire, he did not. In fact, I asked him. But no hard feelings, Claire!! Super happy for you!!

As this person noted, Joran is not only creative, he's also really, really fast.

Damn! I was hoping Twitter would be "swooning" over this sweet gesture (I mean, I don't usually advocate for teenagers to get married, but put a ring on it, Claire!!!). And at least a few people were:

But most people were either skeptical or unimpressed. Teens!

This guy is feeling the weight of the modern world.

Some are pitching their own "promposals."

Very funny, teens!!!!!

And this grown up has some solid advice:

When I was in high school, we used our disposable time and energy to smoke pot out of household objects. So maybe we all need to stop complaining about teenagers being on their phones all the time. Clearly, they're busy being better than us.

The best tweets from Trump supporters who thought this fake anti-Nazi radio station was about them.

The imaginary #ResistanceRadio station caused a very real uproar on Friday with Trump-supporting accounts seeing the hashtag trending and railing against it on Twitter. Now before you applaud or denounce this "Resistance Radio" station, you should know it has nothing to do with Elizabeth Warren.

Here's the thing, Resistance Radio is just Amazon promoting the latest season of The Man In The High Castle. They created a fake radio station that rails against Nazis—Nazis in the most literal sense of the word—because again, this is a promotion for a TV show imagining the Nazis prevailing in World War Two and taking over America.

But here's the other thing—Twitter trolls saw the hashtag and took the concept seriously, protesting in earnest against a fake radio station that denounces the Third Reich.

Here's an especially ironic tweet railing against a fake radio station.

It's easy to imagine the people behind these conservative Twitter accounts did not actually listen to the material on the fake radio station. More likely, they saw the word "resistance" and freaked out about a supposedly liberal media outlet. If you visit the link for Resistance Radio, it's clearly just a promotion.

Our voices will be heard. Resistance Radio is broadcasting LIVE now: http://bit.ly/ResistanceRadio

Posted by The Man in the High Castle on Monday, March 6, 2017

But for the record, AV Club characterizes the fake radio chatter as "talk about standing up to Nazis [and] urging listeners to keep the fight alive in a nation that's been overrun by fear, oppression, and authoritarian rule."

Do you think that might trigger any of the following accounts?

On the other side of the spectrum, #ResistanceRadio has, indeed, become a rallying cry to highlight anti-Trump sentiment. These people have also ignored the idea of a TV promotion, and are now just enjoying a new hashtag.

So it seems like, really, everyone's politicizing something that's all about a TV show, giving it endless promotion and free publicity. The real winner here... is clearly Amazon. The Man In The High Castle does sound interesting.

Adele is gorgeous, ethereal songstress, who stays humble by speaking frankly about beards, Beyoncé, and gets transported to the stage in a giant box.

Adele, chillin in a dark and enclosed space that may or may not be a box.

To get from her dressing room to the stage at huge venues such as London's O2 Arena, Adele wheels up like the precious cargo she is, literally in a box meant for equipment.

Fans but this observation earlier in her tour, following the Adele Box make it's grand journey to the stage.

Adele's supposed-to-be-sublte entrance has become as beloved a moment in her live shows as "Rolling in the Deep" or "Hello."

She has it all, AND she's rolling in a box.

She is a bit afraid now that the secret's out.

Sing it with me: It's Adele in a box!

Urban Outfitters tries to call this piece of fabric a 'shirt' but Twitter ain't buying it.

Everyone's favorite "urban" clothing store Urban Outfitters has finally pushed the limits of what is considered "clothing" too far. Even for them.

The “Extreme Crop Tank Top Shrug” by Out From Under is the perfect garment for people wishing to cover their clavicles, and only their clavicles, while letting their boobs and full torsos remain unencumbered by fabric. This "clavicle napkin" (my words) costs $16.

The "shirt" has since disappeared from Urban Outfitters' website. But not before screenshots made the rounds on Twitter.

And people have questions.

A few imaginative souls have theories about what it is and what it's for.

Ohhhh, it's for "brave souls." That explains everything!The company themselves offered up this description, before it was taken down, according to Allure:

The ultra-sexy way to layer with this teeny cropped tank top by Out From Under. Cropped above chest for the coolest layered look featuring a crop neck and thin shoulder straps.

Do you love the flattering looseness and butt-elongating of Mom Jeans, but wish they showed off a little more knee?

fashion reactions white mom mother

Well, Topshop does, and is selling these new Clear Knee Mom Jeans™️️ at Nordstrom to help you flaunt those sexy 'caps.

"Slick plastic panels bare your' knees for a futuristic feel in tappered and cropped high-waist jeans," the description reads.

Clear Knee Mom Jeans™️️ are real pants, for real people, with real knees, and people have real feelings.

But, why?

To many, this a sign of the end times.

Some people want to show off some more skin, but few want to highlight the knee skin.

But this is the breakthrough in kneeless chaps people have been waiting for since regular old holes won't do.

As one tweeter pointed out, it's important to put the travesty that is Clear Knee Mom Jeans™️️ in the context of Topshop's other crimes.

They're still better than Ivanka's stuff, though.

I got up early so I could celebrate National Napping Day.
