Sorority kicks out student for posting this bikini pic. What has the world come to?

Nips are in the news again.

A 19-year-old college student had to leave her sorority after wearing a bikini – the wrong type of bikini. Belmont University rising sophomore Lauren Forsythe posted an Instagram photo that showed her wearing a bathing suit top with fake nipples. 

 Forsythe told Cosmopolitan that she wore the bikini to fight double standards about women's bodies (specifically: men can wave their nips around in public; women can't). She told the magazine, "I know that had my boyfriend posted this photo, there would be no backlash whatsoever — even though it's the same cartoon nipple."

Forsythe's sorority, Phi Mu Theta, said she would either have to take down the photo, resign, or go through a disciplinary process when school starts. Forsythe stuck to her nipple beliefs and opted to leave.

The bathing suit Forsythe was wearing is called, perfectly, the TaTa Top.

TaTa Top founder (which must be awesome to have on a business card) Michelle Lytle told Cosmo in an email: "it's unfortunate that a sorority would shame a member for taking a stand for something they believe in especially when that stand is for women's rights."

It's crazy to think we live in a time when sorority sisters can't even post bikini shots. What has the world come to?

We finally got to hear from the Fat Jew in his own words. Here are the 8 most obnoxious things he said.

'Vulture' sat down with the Fat Jew to talk about stealing jokes, getting caught, and losing deals. 

https://instagram.com/p/0n-_YVDuPm/

In case you've been living under some kind of wifi-free rock, you've probably heard about the controversy surrounding the Fat Jew. Josh Ostrovsky, a "comedian" who goes by the Fat Jew on Twitter and The Fat Jewish on Instagram, recently got signed by a large Hollywood agency. In response, actual, not-in-quotes comedians took to the Internet to point out that he is a good-for-nothing joke stealer who does not deserve his success. (For the record, the Fat Jew does not consider himself a "comedian," just a "commentator.")

In addition to a strange fixation on hot tubs and jacuzzis, he seems determined in this interview to make excuses for his behavior. He "didn't know" where things came from and anyway "the Internet was a different landscape" back then and he just wants comedians to "shine." Jesse David Fox, the interviewer, makes a good faith effort to get Ostrovsky to admit he did something that was not just incidentally wrong but morally wrong, but Ostrovsky seems to think he is without blame, though he does repeatedly say that he'll never do it again. 

We deserve a deal with CAA for reading the entire interview, which was (ostensibly) in the Fat Jew's own words. Now that we've been subjected to so much of the Fat Jew's writing, we want him to go back to plagiarizing.

Here are 8 of the most obnoxious things he said:

1. "I want people to shine on social media, I always have."

2. "I was sitting in hot tubs full of pasta, and interviewing rappers about whether they liked sleepovers and making them uncomfortable." 

3. "Like Ben Parker, Spider-Man's uncle, said, “With great power comes great responsibility.” I can't believe I'm actually using that quote, but it really is true. I don't think I realized how much my voice was resonating."

4. [On his interns] "I need them to bathe me. I've got so many other things that I need them to do. [Giving credit] just didn't seem like something that was extremely dire."

5. "I've been sitting in hot tubs of guacamole for years."

6. "I'm sort of a Renaissance man of pop culture."

7. "You have to understand that the internet is like this giant Jacuzzi of insanity, and it's just filled with so much stuff. I would never take someone's name off something. That's not who I am or what I'm about."

8. "It wasn't a matter of diligence. I was drinking a daiquiri nude and looking at the internet, and honestly, I didn't know where it came from."

And 1 shining truth:

1. "I'm an idiot."

"Space: the final frontier." - Harry Styles

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jwgf3wmiA04

The music video for One Direction's who-needs-Zayn anthem"Drag Me Down" is here, and it already has over 3 million views since yesterday.

The boys are headed to outer space. We see the band members preparing for their new environment. We see them boarding the shuttle. We see them take off. We see them negotiate tensions that arise when Harry and Louis are acting cliquey aboard the ship. We see them run out of food, have to decide which person to eat, and obviously choose Liam. We see them land at their destination, an Earth-like planet in another solar system that might offer humanity a chance to continue the human race now that our home planet is dying. We see them run extensive tests on the atmosphere and conclude that the air is not breathable. We fade to black.

Well, some of those things happen. And lots of singing.

A guy won a bread sculpture contest with a baked lion. The Internet roared its meme-y approval.

The Great British Bake Off contestant Paul Jagger was asked by the judges to make a bread sculpture. So he made this incredibly detailed and artistically amazing lion, no big deal.

Aslan is risen! Because he's also lion, and this is a bread lion, right? (via Twitter)

If you're British or a weird American who uses the dark web to watch overseas cooking shows, then you know it's Great British Bake Off season, which seeks the best amateur baker in the U.K. The theme of this week's show was bread, and one of the challenges was to construct a 3-D sculpture made entirely of bread. Paul Jagger, a prison warden from Wales, made a lion that has as much character as a real lion.

Judge Paul Hollywood gave a special commendation to Jagger, never before done in six seasons of GBBO, calling the lion the best bread sculpture he's ever seen. Random people on the Internet were also blown away. Naturally, the volume of memes has risen more than, uh, bread.

Somebody found Josh Duggar's fake Facebook profile he used for cheating. The man had a system.

Duggar had a Facebook account under the incredibly fake name "Joe Smithson."

This looks like a bot's profile, except Duggar's not as smart as a bot.
(via Facebook)

This Josh Duggar story just keeps getting deeper and deeper. If you haven't been following it and need a refresher, don't bother. Just stop reading now – you'll be better off. But if you really want to go down this rabbit hole, I'll indulge you.

Josh Duggar, the former star of the TLC reality show 19 Kids and Counting and a political activist for Christian family values and not being gay and all that stuff, was exposed as a serial philanderer who had accounts on Ashley Madison and OKCupid explicitly for cheating on his wife. Then he came clean, saying what we were all thinking when he announced, "I have been the biggest hypocrite ever." Now that you're all caught up, I'll give you a minute to shake your head and stare at the floor.

I hope that was satisfying, because there's another development for you to absorb. Intrepid Internet sleuths have researched the email address Duggar used for one of his two Ashley Madison accounts and found it linked to a Facebook account under the same alias: the profoundly unimaginative "Joe Smithson." As Radar Online reports, evidence strongly suggests that this account was used by Duggar to get his alter ego laid.

Smithson has 31 Facebook friends, all women from the area of Arkansas where Duggar lived before he moved to Washington D.C. to become an Executive Director of the Family Research Council. The account also follows pages for an exotic dancer from Arkansas, as well as a lingerie model. The status updates are true works of art, showing the same commitment to vagueness and lack of personality as his dating profiles.

Very philosophical. Women should sleep with this man.

I'll bet he's having a crazy day today.

Ooh, what kind of car? He's so mysterious!
(via Facebook)

The updates span from 2004, four years before Duggar's marriage, to January 14, a year after he started working at the FRC. Was he using this profile to bolster his identity so he could sleep with more women he met on Ashley Madison and OKCupid? Probably. Is this a new low for him? Not really. This is just housekeeping. Don't forget this part of the story.

The best way to get your parents to stop bugging you about having kids.

Elisha Minnette, an Australian photographer, accompanied her married friends Abby and Matt on their way to go pick up a new puppy. During the trip, the couple talked to her about how they were sick of their parents pressuring them to have a kid. All of a sudden, something clicked. They realized they had the perfect ingredients for a response to their naggy in-laws. They staged an entire "new baby" photo shoot, but instead of a baby, they used their new dog:

While in labor with her second child, Yuki Nushizawa entertained hospital nurses at Brigham and Women's Hospital in Boston by doing the "Tootsee Roll" while her husband Connell Cloyd filmed. The dancing, while hilarious, also served the function of helping Nushizawa manage her labor pains and need to get funky. 

The Facebook video now has over 6 million views, which should help the baby get more followers on Twitter as he launches his post-natal web presence. 

Anyway, baby arrived healthy and appears to be totally chill.

A woman sent what is arguably the craziest post-date text rant in Tinder history.

And this was after just one date.

A guy who decided to break things off with a woman he met on Tinder shared a series of overkill texts she sent him in response. The man, who doesn't exactly come off like Prince Chris Pine in this story either, explained what happened on Imgur:

Messing around on Tinder for a bit of distraction during a crazy stretch at work. Match with this woman. Texted a little bit. Probably should've seen a few red flags (e.g., sending a 7:00 a.m. chasing text the next day because hers was the last message in the text chain from the night before, and I hadn't yet responded), but I like to give people the benefit of the doubt--particularly over text, as things can come across in ways other than as intended.

Anyway, we make plans to meet up for an afternoon drink over the weekend. Had a little walk through the local park, a couple of pints at a nearby pub, nice conversation, etc. (Again, probably should've picked up on a few signs, but she was clearly a bit nervous and--again--benefit of the doubt. And we had a nice talk and a nice time.) A quick goodbye kiss on the sidewalk at the end, but nothing more.

She started texting afterwards, and--apparently--wasn't pleased with the speed of some of my responses. (Was a busy weekend.) After a couple of further chasing texts--the last one of which was pretty snarky--it was clear to me that this wasn't going to work. (Insecurity, for me, is THE deal-breaker.) But we'd had a nice time, and she seemed like a nice woman, so I decided to send her a message explaining that I didn't think it was going to work and wishing her the best. The next morning, I woke up to this absolutely epic text rant.

Here's the response in its entirety, which has everything from a pretty hilarious Blake Lively-based burn to upsetting hate speech.

This video fits into both of our favorite genres: pimple popping and family togetherness.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gSOQLpqMN7w

This is truly a pimple popping video for the ages, and on such a young person. She's a prodigy. The video was taken by the girl's mother, Kris Honey, who posted it to YouTube. Here's what she had to say about it:

My 11 year old daughter had this ear zit for 6 years. We thought it was scar tissue...until her curiosity took over. Wish I'd have known a long time ago it was a cyst! She's been self conscious about it for years. She's so very happy it's gone!!!!

And we're so very happy they got it on film. Of course, not everyone is hip to the zit video trend. If you're one of those people, I've got bad news – you're in the wrong place.

Here's some more of the great pimple and associated gross-out/satisfaction content we've shared in the past:

Banksy's new theme park, "Dismaland," will teach you all about society's ills, but are there novelty popsicles?

Graffiti artist Banksy has unveiled his most ambitious takedown of modern life and consumer culture yet: Dismaland, a full-scale parody of Disneyland.

Situated in the rundown English seaside resort town of Weston-super-Mare, "the U.K.'s most disappointing new visitor attraction!" is the result of a collaboration between Banksy and 50 other like-minded performance artists and installation artists. There are 18 incredibly depressing and unsettling attractions that send up theme park offerings to force patrons to stare at society's ills unblinkingly and just, like, deal with it. 

The plane is carrying a banner that says, "Absolutely no refunds under any circumstances." It's the sarcastic motto of Dismaland and the real motto of Disneyland.(viaDismaland)

Attendees can visit"Mini Gulf," an oil caliphate-theme miniature golf course made out of an old field hockey field; "Water Cannon Creek," a water slide made out of an armor-plated vehicle once used to quell riots in Northern Ireland; "Guerilla Island" to take a workshop on how to hack billboards; and "The Jeffrey Archer Memorial Pit Fire," in which a large ceremonial fire keeps burning thanks to books written by the area's former member of Parliament who was convicted of perjury in 2001. Run the Jewels is also scheduled to play a show there.

https://vine.co/v/eDbHH0ngtDe


Dismaland, which Banksy calls both a "bemusement park" and a "festival of art, amusements, and entry level anarchism" is open from this weekend until September 27. Unlike the real Disneyland, admission is cheap (£3, or about $5), but like the real Disneyland there will be very long lines to learn about how people are horrible and society is collapsing. But if you've been to the real Disneyland, you already know that.

The desire for revenge may not be the most noble desire, but we'd be lying if we said it doesn't feel pretty damn good—just look at Carrie Underwood, or Medea. Letting a disloyal asshole know how much of a disloyal asshole they are is profoundly satisfying, and the more creative you can get with it, the better it feels. Let's all take a moment to honor those brave souls who refused to sit back and be disrespected.

The 10 colleges with the most Ashley Madison accounts give new meaning to 'academic cheating.'

Do you think you'd prefer a small liberal arts college or a steamy extramarital affair university?

https://twitter.com/JustinWolfers/status/634749830229852161?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw

According to Inside Higher Ed, the schools with the most .edu email addresses registered on Ashley Madison are Michigan State, Penn State, Kent State, Virginia Tech, Ivy Tech, Virginia Community Colleges, Ohio State, University of Minnesota, University of Michigan, and NYU. They charted the rankings and number of accounts per school, but noted a few caveats.

First of all, .edu email addresses could include any mix of alumni, employees, current students who married their high school sweethearts and already regret it, ruggedly handsome archeology professors looking for love in all the wrong places, and anyone else who snagged a sweet, sweet college-affiliated email handle.

There also is a theory that a significant amount of these accounts could be from sociology professors doing research. Probably just on, like, contemporary dating habits and who they wanted to have an affair with.

You'll never guess which conservative Christian celebrity was caught on Ashley Madison now.

He's an Internet celebrity, so it doesn't totally count. But it's so hypocritical, we'll allow it.

Forget everything you knew about this couple you learned about two weeks ago.
(via YouTube/Sam and Nia)

Do you remember Sam & Nia, the Christian vlogger couple who went viral earlier this month with their surprise pregnancy announcement video? I hope so, it just happened. Later, they made another, much sadder, video to announce that Nia had lost the baby. But then, Internet investigators started doubting whether either of the videos had been real, or just an elaborate put-on to improve their YouTube fame. It was a whole thing.

Well now, that whole thing is becoming a whole other thing. Perez Hilton reports that Sam Rader may very well have had an account on cheating website Ashley Madison. Among the millions of users whose personal information was leaked by hackers is one who certainly seems like Sam.

We'll explain what this means.
(via Perez Hilton)

The user is identified as "Samuel Rader" of Terrell, Texas, where Sam and Nia live. The email address, which has since been deleted, was associated with Sam's website, and his organization was listed as "Lasting Flash," the name of Sam's defunct photography company. This is pretty incriminating evidence – suspiciously incriminating. Who lists their organization on any website they sign up for, let alone one they're going to use to cheat on their spouse? I'll tell you who: an earnest Christian vlogger.

If Sam really was on Ashley Madison, it make a lot of his claims on his vlog seem pretty hypocritical. He's generally deflected all criticism by saying that people were persecuting his family for their faith. It's also coming right after the revelation that 19 Kids and Counting star Josh Duggar, another noted Christian figure, was also on Ashley Madison. It's a bizarre pattern. Then again, both families have young children, so it's hard to enjoy the irony. This really isn't a feel-good story. Have a good weekend though.

A bear and her cubs decided to invade a family's backyard in New Jersey and take a swim in their pool. The mama bear looked a lot like a human mom at the pool, paying little attention to her kids as they roughhoused, ran, and destroyed pool toys that belong to others. But they sure are cute and fun to watch.

The family called the authorities, who informed them there was little they could do to help. So basically bears in New Jersey operate much like the mafia in New Jersey, having their way with your hard-earned property as they see fit. The bears played in the backyard for another hour, even making use of the swings and the slide. They left on their own, and she probably took the cubs to a restaurant where they continued to be loud and run around recklessly.

Seinfeld has been recut and reborn as a Lifetime movie. And the main character is one George Costanza, who seems to have it all, before he is struck down by tragedy. The most remarkably hilarious thing about this faux Lifetime trailer, beyond the fact that you can make Seinfeld seem dramatic when you remove studio audience laughter, is that George appears to be a blessed, lucky individual.

Yes, they even found ways to make George seem like he cares about love, women and children. Plus his ambitions to do the opposite of what he normally does are driven by a desire to lead a purposeful life, like a phoenix rising from the ashes. Notably absent from the engagement scene is Jerry's confession that he broke up with the woman he was dating because she eats her peas one at a time.

It's just a friend. A friend named Kris Jenner.

Jennifer Lawrence celebrated her 25th birthday without Coldplay front man Chris Martin, and instead opted for a small, classy gathering that included Kris Jenner. It sounds like this will be the final split after a few bumps in the road for J-Law and Chris, so she decided to celebrate in style. After you've won an Oscar and dated a rock star before the age of 25, you get to have your pick of reality stars come to your birthday party.

Breakups are never easy, but it's safe to say that Jennifer will find new suitors as quickly as she finds new film roles. After all, your twenties are for dating every type of person on the spectrum. May the odds be ever in her favor.

Let's hope bad luck does not happen in threes.

Jimmy Fallon managed to chip his tooth while tending to his finger injury he sustained earlier this summer. He did it while trying to open a tube of scar tissue repair gel, which is truly unfortunate because you need both hands and a winning smile to deliver bulletproof monologue jokes and play whacky games with celebrity guests. Hopefully he can keep his upper body and legs out of harm's way.

Luckily, this is an easy fix that won't sideline him from any broadcasts. Jimmy's life is however beginning to resemble an episode of The Three Stooges with all these compounding injuries. If he's learned anything from these experiences, he won't attempt to open his tooth medication with his feet. Stay healthy Jimmy, and be sure to keep an eye out for any falling pianos or anvils outside Rockefeller Plaza.
