The eternally-hunted Bugs Bunny nails this cover of 50 Cent's "Many Men."

Sometimes supercut covers make no sense, but like Miss Piggy doing "Bitch Better Have My Money," Bugs Bunny is the perfect artist to cover 50 Cent's hit "Many Men," about being faced with many enemies (in both Bugs and 50's case, heavily-armed men). Many men have wished death on Bugs, but he's the diamond in the dirt, dammit.

9 people welcoming in the fall season by wearing their pets as scarves.

The scarf is an essential fall accessory. The pet is also an essential fall accessory. People have combined them throughout history, but PETA threw blood on them. Luckily, these savvy fashionistas found a new way to utilize your pet as a fashion accessory in a much cuter, humane fashion. Check out your local animal shelter and try to find a pet in your size—you'll thank me come October. 

1. This scarf comes with a bonus kiss.

2. This celluloid feline star is rumored to be appearing in the next Lana Del Ray video.

3. "You got beer?! I said I wanted milk."

4. He can find a way to sleep anywhere.

5. This man looks, uh, nice....

6. You gotta make sure your shirt matches your dog.

7. She's going for a shag look.

8. Huskies naturally make great scarves.

9. Yes, that is Michael J. Fox. No, I'm not going to explain.

Wait, what the hell did the Dalai Lama just say about women only being useful when pretty?

The 14th Dalai Lama, famous amongst Buddhist and celebrities alike (the celebrities who have escaped Scientology, we mean), does a lot of interviews. He's genial, fairly articulate and gives a very lucid, thought-out answer to this BBC reporter in response to the question,"Could the 15th Dalai Lama be reincarnated as a woman?" Yet, after hearing it, we were like, "WTF?" The exchange starts at about 4:45 in the video below:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KxkYW74HUUs

The Dalai Lama makes what seems like a dad joke gone horribly wrong by saying, “Today in a more troubled world, I think females should take more important roles, and then I told that reporter[in another interview], if a female Dalai Lama comes, their face should be very attractive." The journalist interviewing him, Clive Myrie, tries to correct course by allowing him to clarify. Myrie asks, "So you can only have a female Dalai Lama if they’re attractive? Is that what you’re saying?”

But Dalai Lama don't play that! His message is that ugly women cannot be leaders and he is pretty insistent, adding, “I mean if female Dalai Lama come, then that female must be very attractive, otherwise not much use.”

“You’re joking, I’m assuming," Myrie tries one more time, "Or you’re not joking?”

The Dalai Lama is adamant, perhaps because no one has told him about the Internet: “No. True!” Well, he's right. We all love HIM for his body.

Milkshake squirrel proves all New Yorkers are now looking for food-stealing rodents.

Fresh off of Pizza Rat, the first viral sensation that is probably also carrying the bubonic plague, New Yorkers are keen-eyed for other food-stealing animals. And now, they have found a new champion: milkshake squirrel

YOUR NEW HERO.

Here are all of the milkshake reference jokes I am legally required to make about this:

  • My milkshake brings all the squirrels to the trash!
  • "I gotta know what a $5 shake tastes like after it's been thrown in the garbage." — Squirrel (wearing a suit)
  • "I drink your milkshake." — Squirrel (that is also an oil baron and had a falling out with his deaf son, right before he beats a man to death)

Stephen Colbert apologized to Trump for making fun of him, then made fun of him.

Donald Trump went on The Late Show last night to say crazy stuff and stress everyone out about the future of America. And for some reason, Stephen Colbert apologized to him. He offered:

I also want to apologize to you 'cause I've said a few things about you over the years that are, you know, in polite company perhaps are unforgivable. 

He then asked Trump, "Is there anybody you'd like to apologize to right now yourself?" Trump, of course, replied, "No." He went on to say more things that he should feel free to apologize for, like suggesting we build a 1,000-mile-long wall with a "beautiful big fat door" in it to keep out immigrants. 

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ns7ocpRhDD8

They also played a new game called "Trump Or Colbert." Colbert explained the rules by saying to Trump, "For years I played an over the top, like, conservative, you know, character. Not as long as you did, but for many years." Thankfully, he didn't apologize for that. Then Trump had to guess if a series of quotes were said by him or Colbert (or a special surprise option at the end).

If you watch the videos attentively, you might even notice a reference to Pizza Rat.

Amy Poehler and Nick Kroll have ended their relationship after two years, which is a true bummer because these two are both beloved in the comedy community. Their continued success made it tough for them to find time for each other between their busy schedules, according to a friend close to the pair:

Unfortunately, they just couldn’t make the relationship work with their schedules. They really tried, but it just wasn’t realistic anymore. They were spending more time apart than together. 

Dang.

Breakups are never easy, though Amy and Nick do have one huge advantage: they literally have the funniest friends in the world to cheer them up.

The 8 most obnoxious cops to ever get social media accounts.

To protect and serve up sick burns.(stock photo)

Cops and social media definitely make a weird combination. At best, it sounds like an OK outreach program, at worst it's a waste of taxpayer dollars. But regardless of how you feel about it, police departments around the country and beyond have taken eagerly to Facebook and Twitter, where they really seem to enjoy shaming criminals with sarcasm and cruel mockery. Don't believe me? Here are the best examples we could find of cops snarking crooks on the Internet.

1. Burglar taunts sheriff's department on Facebook; sheriff arrests him and responds with sarcastic poem.

https://www.facebook.com/polkcountysheriff/photos/a.475201096817.250184.50386446817/10153107130686818/?type=1

This Facebook post was shared by the Sheriff's Office of Polk Country, Florida to try and catch two burglars. One of the men, Logan Hale, saw it and started goading the cops as his bad boy alter ego "Finallyfree."

Is this a riddle?(via)
He's playing with fire here. (via)
You know cops are frustrated when they get snarky. (via)

In the end, Finallyfree didn't turn himself in or change his name, but he was caught. And Polk County Sheriff Grady Judd didn't think any ordinary post announcing his capture would suffice. He had to get poetic.

https://twitter.com/PolkCoSheriff/status/634516556840595456

Rhyming cops? We truly are living in the end times.


2. Woman tweets that she wants weed; cops tweet back at her.

This one started when a Florida woman tweeted a request to her friends:

https://twitter.com/Rosa_Sparkz/status/623585018087100416

The Palm Beach County Sheriff's Office quickly got back to her.

https://twitter.com/PBCountySheriff/status/623603261581365248

She played along in a surprisingly good-natured way.

https://twitter.com/Rosa_Sparkz/status/623625935326023680

And seemed to enjoy the fame.

https://twitter.com/Rosa_Sparkz/status/623695970778222592

It all worked out!


3. Mechanic tweets that he wants weed; cops get him fired.

A mechanic on the job at a Toronto-area Mr. Lube location got bored and tweeted an incriminatingly specific request for a re-up.

Real name: check. Real employer: check. Totally f**ked: double check.(via)

The cops saw it and responded with their own snarky tweet. Does this story seem familiar?

Don't be fooled. They don't really think it's awesome.(via)

Here's where it diverges from the other stories: His bosses found out about it and joined in.

https://twitter.com/mrlube/status/367436913021423616

D'Oh! He should have been more vague like that Florida woman. At the very least, he shouldn't have mentioned his job.


4. Journalist corrects NYPD tweet about a crocodile; NYPD responds with unnecessary sarcasm.

This story started when a large reptilian was photographed crossing a street in upper Manhattan. Only in New York!

https://twitter.com/NYPD34Pct/status/624336009933791233

A journalist corrected the 34th Precinct's zoology knowledge.

https://twitter.com/lizzieohreally/status/624338503699177474

The cops couldn't resist getting snippy in their response.

https://twitter.com/NYPD34Pct/status/624339941020016640

Mee-owtch! This officer's got claws! So did the crocodile, but it's dead now.


5. Burglar writes "catch me if you can" on Facebook, is caught 5 minutes later.

https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=445038292267435&set=a.380954725342459.1073741827.281015285336404

The police department of Rosenburg, TX posted this Facebook bulletin to help catch two brothers suspected of breaking into 17 cars in one weekend. One of the brothers saw his photo and was emboldened to taunt the cops from his own Facebook account.

I don't know if this counts as a plea.(via)

The police wasted no time in rising to his challenge.

The community loves to see punks get humiliated. (via)

Just think: if he had waited five more minutes to post the comment, he could have spared himself the embarrassment.


6. Another burglar writes "catch me if you can" on Facebook, is caught and mocked with Monopoly reference.

A man named Sam Greenwood from Greater Manchester, UK, was locked up for four months for driving drunk without insurance. When he was released, he decided to keep it real by not attending any of the required meetings with his probation officer. The Greater Manchester Police posted his picture to their Facebook page, at which point he decided to get involved in the comments. The thread, presented here in descending chronological order, tells the whole story:

They tried to be nice, but he left them no choice but to go Parker Brothers on his ass.(via)

The Monopoly reference just adds insult to injury. If his life continues on the path it's on now, he'll never be a real estate mogul.


7. Man shares his own "Wanted" post on Facebook, then falls for the most obvious sting of all time.

Does that look like the face of a man who would assault you? Yes.(via)

When Anthony James Lescowitch saw this post on the Freeland, PA Police Department Facebook page, he was tickled pink. So much so that he had to share it for all his Facebook friends to see.

I'm glad his friends and family were on board.(via)

Minutes after he shared the post, Lescowitch received a mysterious Facebook message from a stranger with an attractive female profile picture. Presumably entranced by his bravado, this siren invited Lescowitch to get a drink, but he was too smart for that. When she asked him to get a cigarette, however, he agreed. She had found his weakness.

When he showed up for the rendezvous, he was met by officers. Duh. He was immediately arrested, and the Freeland PD shortly commemorated the successful sting with (how else?) a Facebook post.

We promise this is the last time you'll see his face.(via)

Mentioning how he got himself caught is extra humiliating. But at least they didn't describe the cigarette date. He'd never live that one down. 


8. Cops burn criminal on Facebook over lame excuse for having weed.

26-year-old Richard Relliford tried to do some quick thinking when cops caught him in St. Marys, GA with a comically large bag of marijuana. Unfortunately, quick thinking isn't the forte of the stoned. His excuse was so bad, the cops felt the need to make fun of him in a viral Facebook post about the incident.

It might not be a salad, but it's still more edible than kale.(via)

That's right. He said it was a salad. The kind of salad that you keep in a ziploc bag and doesn't have dressing and is made of weed. Of course, mercilessly mocking Relliford on Facebook opened up the SMPD to questions from the public about marijuana policy:

Solid cop answer. These guys know PR.(via)

I hope their open-minded attitude comes as a comfort to Richard Relliford in jail.


This lady's racist rant from 30 years ago went viral and she has a lot to say about it now.

A woman named Angela Moss was interviewed when she was 18 years old about the poorer populations of Brazil using the public beaches of the richer part of Rio De Janeiro, because there's nothing a teenager has opinions about like chilling at the beach. In it she calls them a "sub-race," and rants about how seeing them horrifies her because she can't believe they're from the same country. In the video below you can tell how passionate she is about her opinions, even though she's speaking in another language. Warning: the YouTube subtitles for this are like word soup.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mwe1tQIY5MI

The video was posted to a Brazilian Facebook page called Mariachi, with the caption "nothing has changed." People reacted angrily in the comments with gems like these:

"Pity she isn't dead."
"This video gave me cancer"

But then something pretty bizarre happened. Angela Moss saw the video of herself and commented too:

AS PESSOAS MUDAM, EVOLUEM! A menina do vídeo da Praia da Barra hoje é uma mulher de 47 anos, ativista. As pessoas...

Posted by Mariachi on Monday, September 21, 2015

It reads:

Yes, this video is partly true. Unfortunately, this is me when I was 18 years old. I was a stupid child, with little knowledge. Although I was formally educated, I was alienated. Nowadays, I’m 47 years-old and a lot has gone by…

Am I ashamed? Today, almost in my 50s, I’m not exactly embarrassed. I’m proud of having my mind changed. I’m glad you posted this video, it is important to bring up things that society is not willing to admit.

I always spoke my mind, one way or another. I’m not a hypocrite. I’m happy that people are outraged by the video, what upsets me are the ones who are sending me messages of support (for what I said back then). I ask, therefore, that you keep the video, but, if possible, post this statement too.

Moss told BuzzFeed News that she's now a lawyer and philosophy teacher, and has learned a lot about the world she didn't know at 18, essentially. She said if she could travel back in time and talk to her teenage self she'd tell her, "control her prejudices and learn to understand others and be humble.”

Haha, good luck with that, lady. You can't tell a teenager anything!

Pharmaceutical CEO to lower drug price after entire world confirms he's a disgraceful human being.

Turing CEO Martin Shkreli has agreed to lower the price of Daraprim after every news outlet, citizen, and even Hillary Clinton vilified him following a 5000% price hike on the drug. When everyone calls you an evil douchebag and you respond by tweeting Wu-Tang and Eminem lyrics, people are going to continue to call you a douchebag. It also doesn't help when you come from a hedge fund background and try to defend astronomically raising the price of a trusted drug used by AIDS and cancer patients. His plan for when or how the price would be adjusted were vague, but he changed his tone and acknowledged that he had heard the collective uproar against him:

Yes it is absolutely a reaction — there were mistakes made with respect to helping people understand why we took this action, I think that it makes sense to lower the price in response to the anger that was felt by people.

He is still insistent that his original price hike and the future adjustment might not yield any financial benefit for the company:

We'll know in several weeks how profitable the drug is, if it at all. It may turn out that's it not even profitable at all, even at this price.

Humanity tends to side with the ill and vulnerable over an anthropomorphic weasel in a suit jacket. His Twitter account is now set to private, presumably because once you receive over one million Twitter notifications your phone starts shaking and smoking. Let's call this incident an appropriate victory for internet vigilantism.

A guy with angelic pipes sang Sia's ‘Chandelier’ on ‘The Voice’ and Gwen Stefani lost her mind.

Contestant Jordan Smith sang "Chandelier" by Sia on the season premiere of The Voice, and he excelled at what the show's blind audition process seems to reward most: looking different than the judges expect based on your voice. Obviously you have to have an impressive voice to get the judges to turn around in their spinny chairs in the first place, as the unbreachable rules of The Voice dictate. But if they're then surprised when they see you? A star is born. This was 15-year-old Siahna Im's strategy with her old school performance of "Fever," and it's part of the appeal of cardigan-and-glasses-clad Smith performing such a powerful rendition of this song. They may look innocent, but they are expertly gaming the system (and by the system I mean Adam Levine).

Are you an English woman named Lisa who dumped a guy named Paul for cheating? Then it may be you who paid for this neon pink billboard on his route to work that reads:

To my cheating husband Paul.

You deserve each other. When you get home I won't be there.

Enjoy your drive to work! Lisa.

If it wasn't you who paid for this billboard, but you are in a similar situation, get your husband to drive down near South Yorkshire Police’s Nunnery Square building in Sheffield. Yes, the message only appeared on the LED screen between 6am and 9am in the morning yesterday, but the whole area is now haunted with vengeful female energy.

No one has come forward yet as The Lisa, but there are a few weird tweets that point to deeper drama:

This awesome retiree built a train for all his adopted stray dogs.

Eugene Bostick has a 'Dog Train' that he uses to take his rescue dogs on trips about town. He came up with the idea when he saw someone use a similar contraption to transport rocks. The carriage is made up of plastic barrels that have been cut to allow room for the dogs. They are set onto metal frames with wheels, which are all interconnected and pulled by Bostick's tractor.

The 80-year-old retiree from Forth Worth has a farm on a dead-end street, which he's shared with his brother Corky since the 1940s. People often dump their dogs on his land, leaving them to starve. Bostick takes these dogs in and cares for them, and although they have plenty of land to run around and play on his farm, he thought it would be fun to take them on field trips outside the farm.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eepfRldptT8

According to Bostick, the dogs absolutely love it:

Whenever they hear me hooking the tractor up to it, man, they get so excited. [...] They all come running and jump in on their own. They're ready to go.

Bostick has also attained a bit of a reputation around town:

News station uses the (actual, literal) worst graphic to wish Jews a happy Yom Kippur.

Chicago's WGN News won't have to think too hard about what to atone for this Yom Kippur after accidentally pairing a story about the high holiday with an image of a patch Jews were forced to wear in Nazi Germany, complete with stripes on the background implying that it's from a concentration camp uniform. It was, as they say in the biz, "a big ol' f**k-up."

https://twitter.com/MarcKarlinsky/status/646531040245350400

Fortunately for WGN, Yom Kippur (the holiest day of the Jewish calendar) is the day of atonement. If they start now, they could probably send staffers to most of the city's synagogues to apologize before sundown. I realize local news deals with a lot of stock images every day, but ones from World War II generally aren't just sitting around in the B-reel folder.

https://twitter.com/WGNNews/status/646537608214900736?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw

Or just apologize online. Whatever you think is best, WGN. You only messed up in the worst possible way.

Woman finally reveals her tattoos to conservative Christian parents after hiding them for 12 years.

Maggie Miller of Phoenix, Arizona has a lot of tattoos, and her conservative Christian parents have no idea. After more than a decade, she decided she finally wanted to be honest with them, and This American Life made an animated video documenting her experience.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g3yBx8nqiAw

Maggie first sits down with a pastor to discuss her tattoos and how they fit in with her view of Christianity. The pastor is totally cool with the tats (some of which are Christian symbols) but is interested in what Maggie seeks to get out of telling her parents. She reveals that she doesn't want "forgiveness," per se, but just wants to be honest with them without sacrificing their close relationship.

Maggie's parents didn't want to be filmed, so you don't get to see the actual exchange, but she is pleasantly surprised when they turn out to be completely accepting. They are less conservative than she thought they were, and her story turns out to send a pretty cool message about not pigeonholing your parents as stuffy and old school. 

"Christian tat artist" is definitely a real Twitter bio somewhere.

Jimmy Fallon did a parody of Empire on last night's Tonight Show, and his Terrence Howard impression was on point (even when he had to do it—parody spoiler—while the two were face to face). Fallon plays Juicy Jim, the "head of The Tonight Show Jimpire" who has to choose someone to take over his role. Although it's slightly painful watching anyone but Taraji P. Henson attempt Cookie, most of the Empire jokes are pretty inspired, especially swapping out Lucious Lyon's ALS with Fallon's ridiculous and horrifying finger injury. That incident has become an unlikely robust late night comedy source. Yes, a mangled finger is basically Jimmy Fallon's muse.
