A mom has been capturing her darkest fantasies in these twisted family portraits.

"Toy." (all images via Susan Copich)

Susan Copich is an actress, dancer, and devoted mother of two who suddenly realized she "was missing from every family photo." After putting her family first for years, she woke up to find herself middle-aged, with an agent who never called, kids "with their own opinions and attitudes," and a marriage that "no longer felt shiny and new."

In a desperate attempt to find balance in her life, Copich started taking photography classes. After a class on Cindy Sherman, Copich came home and started taking photos of herself. Eventually, her work resulted in this darkly funny series, "Domestic Bliss," which was exhibited last month at Umbrella Arts in Manhattan.

Sugar Rush

Anger Management

The photos show familiar scenes of home life with small and slightly scary changes. In one, titled "Happy Days," Copich serves her family breakfast in 1950s style, while a noose hangs in the background. In another, "Anger Management," Copich looks wild-eyed at the camera while strangling the family dog.

While the images are sometimes disturbing, the themes of feeling trapped and juggling multiple roles as a mother are clearly resonating with a lot of people, since these photos have gone viral over the weekend.

Here are a whole bunch of dogs who are the absolute WORST at playing fetch.

This is like a human missing a really large beach ball that was aimed directly at their chest.

In general, dogs are really good at being dogs. There are, however, major exceptions to this rule, and a lot of those are in this video from Tastefully Offensive. These pups are cute, sweet, and eminently pet-able, but they're just not very good at playing fetch, and in many cases, staying upright. It doesn't matter, though, because in the end, being a derpy goofball is an essential part of being a dog. So, ironically, their complete lack of dog skills makes them the doggiest of all.

Chris Rock talks Ferguson, Hollywood, and calls Bill Clinton "a dick."

It was a tough year for comedy. As Chris Rock points out in a new Vulture interview, "We lost Robin, we lost Joan, and we kind of lost Cosby." But the long, winding conversation with Frank Rich is a reminder of why he's considered among the best comedic minds of his class.

It's one of the reasons people don't always embrace Chris Rock in movies. He's so great at being Chris Rock that watching him dealing with mundane problems in a breezy rom-com is like watching Beyoncé in a movie where she plays a struggling contestant on American Idol.

Rock is out promoting his new movie Top Five, but wound up discussing race, politics, kids and Hollywood. He mentioned that he'd like to cover the events in Ferguson as a journalist, but "with no black people," because it would be considerably more revealing:

Here's the thing. When we talk about race relations in America or racial progress, it's all nonsense. There are no race relations. White people were crazy. Now they're not as crazy. To say that black people have made progress would be to say they deserve what happened to them before.

So, to say Obama is progress is saying that he's the first black person that is qualified to be president. That's not black progress. That's white progress. There's been black people qualified to be president for hundreds of years. If you saw Tina Turner and Ike having a lovely breakfast over there, would you say their relationship's improved? Some people would. But a smart person would go, "Oh, he stopped punching her in the face." It's not up to her. Ike and Tina Turner's relationship has nothing to do with Tina Turner. Nothing. It just doesn't. The question is, you know, my kids are smart, educated, beautiful, polite children. There have been smart, educated, beautiful, polite black children for hundreds of years. The advantage that my children have is that my children are encountering the nicest white people that America has ever produced. Let's hope America keeps producing nicer white people.

When Rich asks him where else he'd like to interview white people, Rock mentions he'd like go to liberal places, "because you can be in the most liberal places and there's no black people," which led to a discussion about Rock's relationship with Hollywood:

I don't think I've had any meetings with black film execs. Maybe one. It is what it is. As I told Bill Murray, 'Lost In Translation' is a black movie: That's what it feels like to be black and rich. Not in the sense that people are being mean to you. Bill Murray's in Tokyo, and it's just weird. He seems kind of isolated. He's always around Japanese people. Look at me right now.

RICH: We're sitting on the 35th floor of the Mandarin Oriental Hotel overlooking Central Park.

ROCK: And there's only really one black person here who's not working. Bill Murray in 'Lost In Translation' is what Bryant Gumbel experiences every day. Or Al Roker. Rich black guys. It's a little off.

But the thing is, we treat racism in this country like it's a style that America went through. Like flared legs and lava lamps. Oh, that crazy thing we did. We were hanging black people. We treat it like a fad instead of a disease that eradicates millions of people. You've got to get it at a lab, and study it, and see its origins, and see what it's immune to and what breaks it down.

After Rock mentions that he was stuck on the George Washington Bridge, courtesy of Chris Christie's political feuds, Rich asks him about Hillary Clinton's chances in the upcoming presidential election:

It's still not a done deal with Hillary. Remember, she was ahead last time. She had all the black people. And she lost to somebody she really shouldn't have lost to.

RICH: Obama came out of nowhere, basically. At which point Bill Clinton started making public statements that often seemed one step away from knifing Obama.

ROCK: He's a dick, but you're talking about a guy who's embarrassed his wife. So he had a choice, and I couldn't judge him. I had to choose between pissing off all the black people in the world or having my wife mad at me? Then the hell with the black people, because he doesn't live with all the black people. He lives with his wife.

This sleeping dog wakes up in the back seat just in time to sing 'Let It Go.'

0

Seriously, let it go.

Whether you see this video as a case of "too cute overload" or animal abuse depends on how sick you are of hearing Let It Go. The YouTube description says the song from 'Frozen' is this Australian Shepherd's favorite, so much so that he wakes up from a back seat nap to sing along. Though it's just as likely his howling is out of distress because his owners won't stop hounding him with it. He's not saying "go," he's saying "booooooo!"

Little girl's letter to Santa explains she really only cares about the puppy.

Thank you IF the box has holes and the puppy isn't dead.

Emily, the niece of redditor orangeworker, wants to be perfectly clear in her letter to Santa. She has requested "nine (9)" other items in her letter to her "father (dad)," but none of those other gifts matter. The only gift worth Santa's time is the "one little puppy" she listed. Is one little puppy—"perhaps a Labrador, German Shepherd or a husky"—so much to ask?

Just forget about replacing the puppy with the other stuff unless you want Emily to get "sadder and sadder." If you do your job and she does get a puppy, you'll have her thanks.

But that's a pretty big IF based on your puppy-getting track record, Santa (dad).

St. Louis cops fail to force NFL to punish players who did the "Don't Shoot" gesture.

0
0

They're practically screaming "KILL! KILL! KILL!" aren't they?

The NFL has declined to issue any kind of disciplinary action against the five St. Louis Rams players who put their arms up on the field before Sunday's game against the Oakland Raiders. The NFL had been under pressure to hand out punishments when the St. Louis Police Officers' Association wrote an open letter calling the gesture "tasteless, offensive and inflammatory," since a grand jury failed to indict former police officer Darren Wilson for shooting 18-year-old Michael Brown, and therefore no one can say anything about it ever again. Plus, the police would like to remind the players in the NFL that it's the right kind of people who spend money in this town:

"I'd remind the NFL and their players that it is not the violent thugs burning down buildings that buy their advertiser's products. It's cops and the good people of St. Louis and other NFL towns that do. Somebody needs to throw a flag on this play. If it's not the NFL and the Rams, then it'll be cops and their supporters."

So, since the NFL won't act, cops will now apparently "throw a flag on this play" themselves, whatever that means. Certainly seems a tad bit more threatening than putting one's hands up.

Besides the "don't shoot" gesture, which clearly called for public violence against all forms of authority, what kind of cop-hating, rabble-rousing message did the players give to the press after the game? Let's take a look.

Wide receiver Stedman Bailey, one of the players who made the "hands up, don't shoot" gesture, said of their message, "Violence should stop. There's a lot of violence going on here in St. Louis. We definitely hear about it all, and we just want it to stop." That's some radical stuff right there.

Tight end Jared Cook went even further, saying "It's dangerous out there. None of us want to get caught up in that. We wanted to come out and show our respect to the protesters that have been doing a heck of a job." So, he pretty much called for the overthrow of the government.

None of that holds a candle to the kind of insane rhetoric spewed by wide receiver Kenny Britt when asked about cops' upset reaction. "We are here making sure something positive comes out of it. I'm not here for the police. I'm here for a great cause that could come out of this if people come together." Someone call 911!

Do you guys know how low NFL players rank on the current list of public role models? Pretty friggin' low (see the recently-reinstated Ray Rice for an example). If you'd like to rise above them, please consider a different plan of action.

Christian Bale says George Clooney needs to "stop whining" about the paparazzi already.

It seems like Christian Bale is having a hard time letting go of Batman. Last week, he was talking about how he "stared into nothing for a half an hour" after learning that Ben Affleck was taking his old job for the upcoming Batman v Superman movie. Now he's taking shots at George Clooney, whose turn as the hard-nippled Caped Crusader should've killed the franchise nearly 20 years ago.

In a new WSJ Magazine story to promote Exodus: Gods and Kings, Bale said Clooney's ongoing battle with the paparazzi is "boring."

It doesn't matter that he talks about it. It's like, come on, guys, just shut up. Just get on with it and live your lives and stop whining about it. I prefer not to whine about it.

Bale is a notoriously hot-headed dude. He was arrested for assaulting his mother and sister, and delivered one of the all-time great psycho monologues after a crew member made the mistake of walking into his sightline during a scene. Still, it's rare for an A-list celebrity to call out one of the most popular movie stars in Hollywood. Especially while defending the paparazzi, one of the few groups almost everyone can agree to hate.

He even points out how awful they are in the same interview:

I was in Italy for a while, home of the paparazzi, right? I was in Italy with my wife. I would go to work; she would leave the hotel. There would be a man who stood outside of the hotel, and he would say the most obscene things imaginable to my wife. Now, that happened a number of times. I know what he's after; he has a strategy there. Am I able to say I'm not gonna give him that satisfaction of angry Christian Bale coming after this man? But equally, he's killing my humanity and my dignity as a husband if I do not, and he knows this. So you've got a choice.

It sounds like the choice Bale had made is to get the paparazzi on his side by going after the bane of their existence, everyone's least favorite Batman.

Christian Bale may not care what Clooney thinks of him, but he certainly cares about generating press for the new Moses movie. And considering his history, taking a swipe at someone in the press is at least a step in the right direction.

Someone's aunt is printing out memes and sending them to her family in the mail.

Gee, I wonder what the reason was.

Redditor Shade1453's Aunt Julie may not understand much about the Internet—she printed out and mailed Grumpy Cat memes to her niece and nephew, after all—but she does understand one key thing. The best way to subtly take a dig at someone is to send them a link (or in this case, a printout) and say, "This reminded me of you."

Whether it's an article about entitled millennials, a BuzzFeed list called "10 Things Everyone Who Disrespects Their Parents Knows," or simply an angry cat who can't get along with others, all you need to do is tag someone in a public post to send a direct message (so to speak).

Don't think you're getting off that easy, Ian.

Aunt Julie also knows the way everyone online makes it seem like their criticisms are all in good fun: saying "That's so me."

Great, now I'm imagining a mashup of their legs. Gross.(via Buffalo Bill Gates)

Celebrity face mashups. Where would the Internet be without them? Nowhere, that's where. Along with stupid pet videos and images of actresses without teeth, it's part of what makes the Internet the Internet. Who would have thought that in the way-out year of 2014, there'd still be something new to bring to the table? The creator of the blog, "Buffalo Bill Gates" (i.e. illustrator and designer Kalle Mattsson), that's who. This Swede has cut and pasted his way into Internet history with these images which will sear themselves into your brain and forever ruin the images that celebrity culture has worked so hard to get you to memorize.

These 4 construction workers have turned sledgehammering into an art form.

Nailed it!

Watching these four construction workers sledgehammer a post with the precision of a Marine Corps drill team is oddly fascinating. You have to wonder how long it took them to get their timing down. And how would you like to be a new guy on that crew? Talk about pressure. The first day on any job can be tough, but it has to be especially difficult knowing that if you make a mistake, you're messing things up for three beefy dudes who swing sledgehammers for a living.

I like to think that when they're done, the four guys head to the bar and pound beers with the same precision.

This guy dancing to 'Push It' has moves that are real, real good.

Regional Manager of the Dance.

At the beginning of this clip, it looks like this guy dancing to Salt-N-Pepa's "Push It" might pull something. But it quickly becomes clear that the dude is a seasoned veteran of the dance floor. He not only pushes it real good, he gets down pretty low, and swings it so hard you think his cell phone holster will pop off. The video description says "This is the way it's done in WV and these wasn't his best moves." If the guy did manage to bust out better moves than these, it's easy to see why the guy filming would want to set his phone down in order to free up his hands to applaud.

38 bratty kids being owned by their parents on Facebook.

Please mother, think of more. We're all behind you on this. (Via)

We complain about the parents posting their pics of their kids all the time, but one day those same parents will serve an important role. When those kids grow up and stop being adorable, we need their parents to smack them down when they start smearing their bratty, self-obsessed crap all over our feeds. Here are some moms and dads who are making Facebook a better, and more entertaining place for the rest of us.

That's one stylish newborn. (via Lisa Dart on Twitter)

Today's entry in Parents Who Are Cooler Than Yours comes from Queensland, Australia, after a Courier-Mail birth notice "retraction" was photographed in its print version and started making the rounds on Twitter:

Full text:

A retraction - Bogert
In 1995 we announced the arrival of our sprogget, Elizabeth Anne, as a daughter. He informs us that we were mistaken. Oops! Our bad. We would now like to present, our wonderful son- Kai Bogert.
Loving you is the easiest thing in the world. Tidy your room.

That's journalistic integrity. Even if you're just a family and not a news organization, you still need fact-checkers to get this stuff right so you can preserve the trust with the public.

Welcome to the world, Kai. You're taller than most babies.
