Twitter user @Msixelaa works as an Uber driver, but she could easily have a promising side careers as either a Twitter poet or a merciless spirit of vengeance. Recently, she picked up a seemingly normal fare from the airport. But once she had driven this woman to her destination, she realized that the Uber app had just directed her straight into the middle of her own love triangle. And she was pissed. She tweeted the whole saga, and of course, it went massively viral.

Hell hath no fury like an Uber driver scorned.

The original ending of 'Frozen' was a lot more twisted.

By now, we've probably all seen Disney's Frozen. The film skyrocketed to popularity when it was released at the end of 2013, and it hasn't looked back. As it is, the film is a heartwarming story about the bond between sisters, but it turns out the original version of the script had a much darker ending.

Kristen Bell, who voiced Anna in the film, has already revealed to fans that Elsa was a more straightforward villain in earlier iterations of the Frozen script. According to Entertainment Weekly, Anna and Elsa weren't related in earlier drafts of the script, nor were they royals. They were merely a pure-hearted heroine and an evil snow queen, respectively.

Originally, the film was supposed to open with a prophecy that warned of “a ruler with a frozen heart will bring destruction to the kingdom of Arendelle." Elsa was scorned when the man of her dreams left her at the altar, and froze her own heart so she'd never love again. (YIKES. Heavy.) So, both she and the audience are meant to believe that she's the villain the prophecy warns of.

In the original ending, Elsa creates an army of snow monsters to send after Anna and her love interest, Kristoff. The two-faced Prince Hans triggers an avalanche in order to stop Elsa's army, not caring that he's also put Elsa, Anna, and the entire kingdom in danger. Anna realizes that Elsa may be the kingdom's only hope, and convinces her to use her powers to stop the avalanche.

Peter Del Vecho, one of the film's producers, said that they decided to change that storyline when they realized it wasn't original enough.

“The problem was that we felt like we had seen it before,” Del Vecho told Entertainment Weekly. “It wasn’t satisfying. We had no emotional connection to Elsa — we didn’t care about her because she had spent the whole movie being the villain. We weren’t drawn in. The characters weren’t relatable.”

When the decision was made to make Anna and Elsa sisters, the script was reworked and the ending we know and love was born.

WHEW. I don't know about you, but I like the film the way it is. And if I may, I'd like to take a moment to salute Frozen's most underrated character, the shopkeeper who's holding a "big summer blowout" sale.

He is the funniest part of this movie. Do not try to fight me on it.

Twitter is roasting this horrifying statue of Cristiano Ronaldo that looks nothing like him.

Cristiano Ronaldo is a Portuguese soccer star who also happens to be really, really, ridiculously good-looking.

To honor his career and chiseled cheekbones, his hometown of Funchal, Portugal, recently held a ceremony renaming the town's airport after him, Buzzfeed reports. They also presented a statue in his honor. But don't say "awww!" just yet.

Because here's what the statue looks like:

What. The. Hell. Is. That. Thing.

The bronze statue has a face, which Cristiano Ronaldo also has. Other than that, I don't see the resemblance. Do you?

Hide yo kids. Hide yo wife.

This looks like a murderous robot with dental issues. Here's another photo of Cristiano Ronaldo to remind you what he actually looks like (purely for journalistic purposes):

It's all about the detail! My new @cr7underwear collection and campaign launches TODAY! www.CR7Underwear.com

Whoops, an underwear photo! I guess that's all I could find online.

Ronaldo was photographed next to his "likeness" and he looks like he feels the way we all feel when we look at this bronze bust: horrified, amused, confused. It's a roller coaster of emotion.

Twitter is having a field day roasting the statue.

This isn't the first time statue makers have gone off the rails in their depiction of an icon (remember this horrific Lucille Ball statue?).

It also isn't the first time a statue of Cristiano Ronaldo made headlines. Back in 2014, his hometown erected (tee hee) a statue in his honor that had one very prominent feature on display (hint: it's his penis).

I don't see a problem. Do you see a problem? This is a great statue.

Do statue-makers love or hate this guy? I just can't figure it out.

Here's one more photo of the soccer star IRL, just to refresh your memory:

Instagram model goes viral with photos of the 'least favorite part of my body.'

Kenzie Brenna is a 27-year-old Instagram model and actress in recovery from an eating disorder and body dysmorphic disorder. She has become known for sharing "realistic" photos of her body as a kind of therapy, and for promoting self-love and body positivity, which tbh we need way more of in this world.

She recently went viral with a post she shared about the "least favorite part" of her body—her stretch marks—and how she has learned to accept them.

In the caption, she wrote:

Here are my thoughts when I look at my least favourite part of my body.
-----------
"They're not usually this noticeable."
"If you only had the money to get rid on them."
"They actually look kinda cool."
"Sorta like a the beginning of a story."
"More like the beginning of a LONG story."
"Would I erase my story to not have these?"
"You'd probably be more comfortable without them."
"Would I truly though?"
"Okay ask yourself the question."
"I don't wanna."
"Just do it."
"Does this affect the quality of who I am?"
"No."
"Would it make you a better person if you got rid of these marks?"
"No."
"Would it make you kinder, more generous and a better lover if you had the money to erase them?"
"No."
"Then you're perfect."
"I don't feel perfect."
"That's cause perfect isn't a feeling."

I love this. Because I've totally had this kind of conversation with myself, but it usually ends up with me covering myself in a tarp and staying home. But it doesn't have to!

Brenna followed up with this realistic pep-talk about self love:

you guys get it 💞 you don't have to be in love with yourself everyday, but I PROMISE if you practice self love you will have more loving moments with yourself than you could ever dream of. ☁️💫
KEEP DREAMING.
KEEP LOVING.
KEEP AT IT.

In another post from a month ago, she also showed some love for her tummy:

Most people can relate to hating some part of their body, whether it's stretch marks or love handles or wide feet or bushy eyebrows or whatever else you have decided is "wrong" or doesn't live up to society's standards. But this is an important reminder that we can change the conversation in our heads, and flip the switch to self love anytime we damn well please.

President Trump asked a room of women if they knew who Susan B. Anthony was. Bad idea.

Today at a women's empowerment panel at the White House, President Trump (who let him in there?) jokingly asked the room of women, "do you know who Susan B. Anthony is?" But here's the thing about being able to joke with us about Susan B. Anthony. We have a couple basic requirements:

1. You shouldn't have a history of joking about sexual assault, or saying lewd, degrading things about women.

2. We should be able to feel confident that you know who Susan B. Anthony is.

Unfortunately, Trump fails to meet both of our requirements :( So, I'm sorry, but we can't really find his joke funny, or even give him a pity laugh on this one. Some people thought that the overreaction to Trump's obvious sarcasm was too much:

But it doesn't seem like people were actually taking the joke at face value, as Buzzfeed's David Mack supposes in his tweet. They're upset because they don't really want to hear a sarcastic remark, especially one that hinges upon a patronizing tone that Trump has employed when talking with women before, at an event meant to celebrate Women's History Month. (Seriously, who let him into that room?!) This moment was so ripe with irony that it didn't require much commentary, but you better believe there were some Frederick Douglass jokes in there. Here's what women (and a few good men) were saying about Trump's very bad joke:

DRAG. HIM. LADIES.

The original Aunt Viv from 'Fresh Prince' posts brutal NSFW rant about the recent reunion.

Janet Hubert, the actress who played Aunt Vivian on the Fresh Prince of Bel-Air for three seasons before she was replaced, was apparently not invited to the cast's recent reunion. But she was "not offended" in the least, according to a trash-talking Facebook rant she posted yesterday that would suggest otherwise.

In the rant, Hubert took shots at the whole cast but mostly at Alfonso Ribeiro (you may know him as Carlton), after he posted a photo from the recent reunion on Instagram with a sweet caption in memory of the late James Avery (RIP Uncle Phil😭).

This is pretty adorable. But apparently Janet Hubert didn't think so. The actress, who has been beefing with Will Smith since 1993, posted a short clip from the show along with this rant, which has since been deleted but lives on the internet forever:

I know the media hoe Alphonso Ribeiro has posted his so called reunion photo. Folks keep telling me about it. He was always the ass wipe for Will (Smith). There will never be a true reunion of the Fresh Prince. I have no interest in seeing any of these people on that kind of level.

OUCH.

If you follow Fresh Prince behind-the-scenes drama, and personally I live for it, you already know that this is not Janet Hubert's first public shit-talking rodeo. In 2016 when Will Smith and Jada Pinkett-Smith said they would be boycotting the Oscars, Hubert posted a lengthy video on Facebook in which she basically called them both privileged hypocrites.

Did she cross a line this time? Yes. That's what I love about the original Aunt Viv: the woman follows no rules. In a world where a lot of people claim to "tell it like it is" and then don't, she is the real deal.

Original Aunt Viv for President 2020!

Ivanka Trump has a brand new job, and boy does it sound thankless. The New York Times reports that the eldest daughter of Donald Trump would be joining him down in the White House as the newly appointed "Assistant to the President." Also, it's unpaid. Woof. This news has everybody spiraling back to the days of their first unpaid internships, when they used too many exclamation points in emails and wasted time making trips to and from the snack cabinet because they didn't actually have any work to do.

Is Ivanka nervous for her first big day? Does she know if jeans are okay at the White House or if she should wear chinos? And do people bring there lunch from home there or will she get laughed at if she shows up with a paper bag? Soon enough we'll find out, but for now, here are some of the funniest tweets about Ivanka's big new job at her dad's office.

Were you planning on getting a good night's rest tonight? Well, I'm sorry to do this to you, but the trailer for the remake of Stephen King's It is here, and it's gonna freak ya good.

Here's the deal: It's about a creepy ass clown, and as EW describes it "tells the story of a group of young outcasts in the small town of Derry who rise up against a shapeshifting evil that feeds on fear and has claimed countless lives over the ages." Basically it sounds like The Goonies except less treasure and more scary clown? (TRUTH BOMB: I grew up down the block from Stephen King in Bangor, Maube and should know more about his books, but the truth is I have only read On Writing, which isn't a scary book it's just about the craft of writing and nobody wants to talk to me about that.)

The movie is based on a book by the same name, but this is the second film inspired by the book (you might recall the first film version of It from 1990). In the story, "It" is a supernatural force that often takes on the form of a terrifying clown named Pennywise. The whole story takes place in a small town in Maine, and yes it is weird to grow up in a place that apparently is creepy enough to inspire dozens of Stephen King novels. Anyway, this new version is updated to take place in the 1980s instead of the 1950s, as in the original reason, and, hell who cares the whole point is it's scary and you should watch it. Please enjoy the spiraling thoughts and creepy creaks that keep you up tonight after watching this:

'Archaic' school quiz asked 7-year-olds to match the names with religion. What could go wrong?

Malaysian actress Sarah Lian took to Facebook in a fury, posting a homework assignment her friend's seven-year-old daughter had failed at school. The controversial homework was to match four conventional names to their places of worship based only on stereotype. See if you can figure out where they wanted her to send "Steve," "Kamal," "Hock Lee," and "Devi."

My friend's 7yr old daughter apparently scored badly. And you wonder who makes kids racist and stereotypical??? Well,...

Posted by Sarah Lian on Tuesday, March 28, 2017

Promoting multiculturalism with the most blatant stereotypes obviously backfired. Sarah Lian's post about the school's homework assignment went viral, with commenters arguing about whether the controversy was much ado about nothing or institutional racism.

To those who were fed up over the "huge fuss," Sarah Lian replied simply: "Sometimes a bit of fuss allows change to happen."

She's right about that, since even the Malaysian government is getting in on the discussion. As the post went viral, Malaysia's Minister in charge of national unity argued that the teacher should be punished.

"The teacher who came up with such a misguided notion should be disciplined for such misleading and plain wrong teaching of our kids that one can just assume one's religion by merely looking at one's name," said Tan Sri Joseph Kurup, according to the Malay Mail Online.

The father of the child in question, however, disagreed. He told Mashable he thought "my girl's innocent answers were spot on, but as far as I'm aware [this question] was part of [the school's] syllabus and they're doing their job, it's a good school."

Most can agree, the seven-year-old should not have failed the assignment.

Morgan Freeman is so sick of doing this one thing people ask him to do.

If there is one thing Morgan Freeman is known for, it's his silky smooth, perfect voice. The actor was a guest on Late Night with Seth Meyers on Wednesday night, where he told the story of how he lost a bet with Zach Braff and had to record his voicemail greeting. And it turns out that Morgan Freeman is really, really sick of recording other people's outgoing voicemail messages for them.

"It gets exhausting," Morgan Freeman said to host Seth Meyers. "I can't tell you how many times I've said, 'Hello, this is so-and-so, he's not willing to come to the phone right now.'

Seth Meyers kindly offers to record Morgan Freeman's voicemail greeting, but Freeman declines, explaining that he's got the "perfect" voicemail greeting right now—the guy who set up his voicemail system, "a Southerner with the most Godawful Mississippi drawl you ever heard." Apparently he was testing the system and left a simple greeting saying, "Hello, leave a number." And Freeman decided to stick with that greeting, because people think they've reached the wrong number, and it discourages them from leaving messages, which he "ideally" doesn't want them to do. Just like the rest of us.

See, stars really are like us. Sort of.

Politician says he'll encourage Ohio to leave America just to spite Donald Trump.

In light of Donald Trump's support for Brexit, European Commission President Jean-Claude Juncker reportedly joked that he'll support the succession of Ohio and Texas.

"The newly elected president is delighted to see Britain leave," said Juncker, as the UK prepared to follow through on their vote to separate from the European Union.

"If he carries on, I am going to promote the independence of Ohio and Austin, Texas."

Yahoo News reports that the crowd of European People's Party delegates laughed at the remark, but Donald Trump's support of Brexit has surely infuriated supporters of the European Union. Trump's been anything but subtle about the issue.

Back in August, Trump made the statement that he should be called "Mr. Brexit," for his place as an underdog in the polls.

After the vote took place, Trump erroneously praised Scotland for "taking their country back." Scotland was overwhelmingly against the decision to secede from the European Union.

So here's to a new nation—a union between the great state of Ohio and the single city of Austin. We'll call it O'Austin. It'll have great tacos and LeBron James. The state flag will be LeBron James dunking a taco. Everyone will get free healthcare.

Lamar Odom confesses he was using cocaine, cheating on Khloé Kardashian during their marriage.

Khloé Kardashian and Lamar Odom finalized their divorce a few months ago (which Khloé celebrated with a weird cake), and now Odom is opening up and giving some insight as to what went wrong. He revealed in an interview with Us Weekly that he used cocaine and cheated on his wife, and she knew about it.

Odom told Us Weekly that Kardashian once found him doing drugs in the "man cave" she had made for him.

"I was in the man cave she had made for me and she caught me," Odom told Us Weekly. "She was disappointed. So was I. The sad thing about it is, I don't know if I was disappointed because I was actually doing the drug or because she caught me."

“She knew I was doing cocaine the whole time after that. It was my drug of choice. I’m not going to say she accepted it because that would be the wrong word,”Odom continued. “Tolerated would be a better word.”

Odom, who says he's sober now, told Us Weekly that his drug use wasn't the only thing Kardashian had to put up with. She was also aware that he cheated on her multiple times.

“Bitches and Thots came out of the woodwork. If there is one thing I regret when I was married, it was having multiple affairs with different women. That wasn’t the stand-up thing to do. I wish I could have kept my d–k in my pants,” Odom said.

Lamar Odom recalled a time when Khloé Kardashian actually caught him cheating on her with another woman.

“She caught me in a sleazy motel room in LA, getting high with this one girl. It was atrocious. Looking back, I’m like, ‘What are you doing?’ That was like sticking a knife in her heart and twisting it. She didn’t deserve it. She always tried to help me with the drugs,” he told Us Weekly. “I rejected the help.”

Odom told Us Weekly that he and Kardashian no longer speak after their divorce was finalized in December, but he still cares about her and her family and is working to get his life back on track.

“Living sober, meaning no drugs, is a great feeling. Being in the moment is important — how you react, respond, create. If I would have done coke last night, you would have gotten some d–khead here trying to get out of here fast,” he said. “But you’re getting Lamar now.”

In addition to battling a poncho at Donald Trump's inauguration, Bush also provided some colorful commentary.

According to three people who were present, Bush gave a brief assessment of Trump’s inaugural after leaving the dais: “That was some weird shit.” All three heard him say it.

People confessed their weirdest, most irrational childhood fears. You're not alone.

$

Kids have some crazy fears, and they can develop in the strangest ways. I watched Carrie with a babysitter as a kid and for years I was convinced my mom was trying to kill me, just like Carrie's mom did at the end of the movie. If she offered me hot chocolate I would suspect attempted murder. And to make matters worse, my mother's curly hair looked a lot like Piper Laurie's did in that movie. Now that I'm an adult I've of course outgrown that silly fear…mostly.

Collected here are some of people on Reddit's most irrational and funniest childhood fears. Don't worry, these probably won't keep you up at night if you're over the age of 10.

1. Sporxable must have hated shopping.

That if I lost my parents in a store or something, that's it. No more parents for me, I'm an orphan now.

2. A lot of fears had to do with toilets, like PM-SOME-TITS' here. This one's not that irrational.

There's a spider in my toilet and it's gonna climb in my ass.

3. But Dr. Doorknob's toilet-fear makes a little less sense.

If I sat on the toilet too long (like 5 minutes long) my body would grow onto the toilet and I would be attached on the toilet for the rest of my life.

4. To be fair, a lot of people dislike seaweed, but few were as afraid of it as chillyfeets.

Seaweed. I saw it as a giant sea spider. Even just seeing a clump of washed up seaweed 10ft away was enough for me to start screaming. I refused to play in slightly murky water because if I stepped on the sea spiders I'd die.

... I still freak out if I feel seaweed brush against my leg.

5. But why be scared of seaweed when you can be scared of those terrifying swimming pool sharks like Crazysnowwolf?

Angel sharks in swimming pools.

Any discolorization in the concrete at the bottom of the pool? Clearly the outline of a shark that has evolved to camouflage itself in chlorine filled pools to snack on unsuspecting six year olds.

6. It makes sense to be scared of sharks in the ocean, but Ephemara's scenario probably doesn't happen too often.

I was always afraid of swimming in my backyard pool because I thought that a helicopter would come by my house while I was swimming and drop sharks in it. Looking back at it, I don't know what the hell made me think that or where I even got it from.

7. Okay, no joke, I don't know if we all grow out of GregTheGreat's fear.

I could never look out the windows when it was night, as I was always afraid that I'd catch some monster looking back in.

8. Life seemed very dangerous for adults to go_fer_it_Rock.

That if my parents got fired from their job that they'd actually be set on fire.

9. Azazel_the_Fox fear is no longer relevant now that everything's on disc. OR IS IT?

I had a VERY realistic dream my brother got eaten by our 1989 era VCR. I was pretty scared to put tapes in for a while. It flattened him in my dream :(

10. Platyviolence was probably not a big fan of smooth jazz.

When I was a little kid I was deathly afraid of saxophones.

Edit: for those who have been PMing me, no I am no longer afraid of saxophones. No, I don't know how the fear developed.

11. Titty_burger's not so off base—they are a little creepy.

I had an overwhelming fear of cantaloupes. I found a box of them behind the garage and thought they were brains.

12. Manila_girl22 also had a fruit-related fear, but a lot of kids actually see this as a goal.

That if I swallowed the seeds of any fruit (like oranges), it would germinate in my tummy and a tree would somehow sprout from my belly.

Mike Pence's crazy rules for interacting with women spark fierce debate on Twitter.

Mike Pence, Vice President and Soon-To-Be President of the United States is sparking discussion over the internet for his strict views of the relationship between fidelity and food. An illuminating Washington Post profile of his wife Karen Pence reveals her husband's rules for interacting with other women:

In 2002, Mike Pence told the Hill that he never eats alone with a woman other than his wife and that he won’t attend events featuring alcohol without her by his side, either.

Mike Pence, an adult man, cannot be trusted to be alone with another woman if there's—gasp!—food involved. This indicates that the Vice President exclusively views women as thirst traps and seductresses, not other humans you could simply work with and speak to.

In true Internet fashion, people were disturbed and angry by these facts, and other people were angry that people were disturbed.

Election 2016 mike pence offended vp debate 2016 hurt feelings GIF

The first set of the #discourse was people pointing out why this so-called righteousness is actually problematic.

The points were also made in joke form, of course.

And then there was a backlash, by people defending Mike Pence for his retrograde way of viewing interacting with women. For many other people, fidelity also includes a ban on unsupervised dining.

And a backlash to the backlash.

This is the Internet. Stay tuned for the next tidbit as this cycle continues forever.
