British guy brags online about demanding Muslim stranger 'explain Brussels.' He works in PR.

Twitter user Matthew P. Doyle decided to tweet about the interaction he had with a Muslim "women" on the streets of Croydon, London on Wednesday morning, and got seriously trolled by the Internet in response. According to BuzzFeed, Doyle approached the woman, who was walking with her child, and asked her to explain the tragedy in Brussels

A 'mealy mouthed' reply, or a completely reasonable one?

I confronted a Muslim women yesterday in Croydon. I asked her to explain Brussels. She said "Nothing to do with me". A mealy mouthed reply. 

Doyle, who identifies himself as a feminist in his Twitter bio, apparently forgot to mention that he also identifies as a bigot. He also apparently works in PR, so he presumably should know better, unless it's all an elaborate stunt for attention. And still, he should know better. Doyle has since deleted the controversial tweet, but kept the conversation going on his feed by retweeting both his haters and his supporters.

Doyle began backtracking by rescinding the word "confronted" from his tweet-statement. Instead, he told BuzzFeed that he said "excuse me" before speaking to the woman, although it is confusing as to why Doyle thinks that justifies his behavior. 

It almost seemed that Doyle was beginning to see the error of his ways, but then he decided to send out this incredibly offensive tweet:

The internet responded how the internet responds best, by mercilessly and hilariously mocking Doyle. For those not familiar with the term "mealy-mouthed," that is a very British way of saying "skirting around a direct answer." 

After the initial backlash brought on by Twitter users calling out Doyle on his racism, he then tweeted:

Best to take your own advice, Matthew!

Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull's motto is eerily similar to 'meaningless election slogan' on 'Veep.'

In the fourth season of HBO's Veep, Selina Meyer runs for president on the slogan "continuity with change." Now, Australia's Prime Minister Malcom Turnbull has adopted a slogan mightily similar to the show's 2015 one, The Guardian reported. "The bottom line is there is continuity and there is change," Turnbull said in an interview when discussing his work versus that of former prime minister Tony Abbott, who left office in 2015.

https://twitter.com/jacobkleinman/status/601511347541651456

Turnbull's ministers and he have apparently been pushing the idea of "continuity and change" quite often, though they may want to pick some new buzzwords after being lampooned by Veep cast and crew.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OFDbO1HWtsA

Simon Blackwell, a writer and executive producer of the show, told The Guardian, "We needed [the slogan] to be hollow and oxymoronic, to say absolutely nothing but seem to have depth and meaning." The irony is rife. 

https://twitter.com/simonblackwell/status/712222674588717056?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw

Julia Louis-Dreyfus also tweeted about the slogan. 

https://twitter.com/OfficialJLD/status/712338176736677890?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw

Looks like Veep is doing too good of a job at capturing the spirit of political jargon.

https://twitter.com/VeepHBO/status/685510966990209024

Only days before President Selina tweeted at him, Turnbull was also mocked for using a line that Frank Underwood could've uttered on House of Cards.

https://twitter.com/TurnbullMalcolm/status/711703156921475072?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw

The show's official Twitter responded.

Maybe Turnbull should stop watching so much American TV and start focusing on presiding over a government.

'Batman v Superman' director Zach Snyder tries to deflect criticism by complaining about 'Star Wars.'

$

Zack Snyder is out promoting his new low-budget indie rom-comBatman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, but he's still receiving flack for his last film, 2013's Man of Steel. In an interview with theWall Street Journal, Snyder responded to the persistent criticism of his Superman flick's high death toll by comparing it to Star Wars: The Force Awakens, which he argues massacred way more innocent people:

I went, really? And I said, well, what about ['Star Wars: The Force Awakens']?. In ‘Star Wars’ they destroy five planets with billions of people on them. That’s gotta be one of the highest death toll movies in history, the new ‘Star Wars’ movie, if you just do the math.

He has a point about The Force Awakens: no one wept for the billions obliterated in the Hosnian Star System, but a few hundred thousand Metropolis citizens get squished as Superman smashes Zod through office buildings, and everyone loses their minds!

The thing is, these concerned Superman fans aren't upset by the number of dead innocents; they care more that it was Superman who was responsible for their deaths. The iconic D.C. hero has always operated by a "no kill" rule, and Man of Steel, which featured Superman snapping a villain's neck with his goddamn hands, broke the lore to an apparently unforgivable extent.

Dark, gritty, and murderous is just how D.C. prefers to differentiate itself from Marvel's fun, rambunctious superhero fare. But Batman v Superman has the chance to make up for it in somewhere in that 2 hour, 33 minute run time; perhaps Superman could reverse time by spinning the Earth backwards and heal those nearly 400,000 victims (or prevent Man of Steel from being made) like he once did to reanimate Lois Lane's corpse.

Princess Kate's designer reveals how you can dress like royalty. It helps if you're rich.

What makes a Princess? Is it her elegant and sophisticated charm? Her marriage to a handsome Prince? A really good closed-fingered wave? Nonsense—it's having a closet full of gorgeous clothes tailored made just for you!

This Princess doesn't shop off the rack!

Catherine Walker & Co. once provided Princess Diana with custom couture for over fifteen years, and now Princess Kate Middleton is following in her footsteps by wearing many pieces made by her late mother-in-law's favorite designer. What makes Catherine Walker & Co. the preferred designer of real life Princesses? According to Sara Jensen, head of communications for the house, it is all about construction.

In an interview with People, she said "Garments are designed and constructed perfectly to flatter the female form, giving confidence, comfort, and ensuring the wearer is the star." Jensen also notes that it takes a team of thirty artisans to make these high quality garments, and everyone must "work together, lovingly hand-sewing every single ruche, ruffle and pearl onto the most luxurious of fabrics." Fancy!

Catherine Walker founded the label with her husband, Said Cyrus, who serves as creative director. (Said is Mr. Cyrus' first name, just to be clear.) Walker passed away in 2010 from cancer, and Cyrus works hard to continue her legacy through clothing and tailoring. The company is due to celebrate their anniversary next year, marking forty years of helping people whose job it is to look nice do that.

If you want your own luxury garments from Catherine Walker & Co., the company recently launched an E-Couture service, as long as you have a trusted tailor and a whole lot of money. Like a virtual Fairy Godmother, the service will allow you to order custom clothing from the company and ship it anywhere in the world.

These huge Australian lizards appear to be slow dancing but are actually in a vicious fight.

A member of the Sunshine Coast Snake Catchers 24/7, which is a very real and very Australian organization, caught Rocky-esque footage of two goannas trying to tear each other apart limb-from-limb near a campsite in Queensland. This mini-Godzilla tussle is around 90% holding and swaying like two grandparents dancing at a wedding and 10% ferocious, savage snapping and clawing, like two in-laws clashing at a wedding.

 

BIG BOYS BATTLE IT OUT!This was awesome. I got front row seats to these big boys battling it out for the right to scavenge at our campsite over on Bribie Island around a month back. I've spent my whole life observing reptiles in the wild and this was the first time and probably the only time I'll ever get to see this epic behavior. All up there was about 6 Lace Monitors cruising around us while this was going on. My brother Steve took this iPhone video and I'm so stoked he did.

Posted by Sunshine Coast Snake Catchers 24/7 on Monday, March 21, 2016

After the fight, they scuttled back into the Australian wilderness, presumably to settle their differences like civilized goannas. This left the Sunshine Coast Snake Catchers to find more nightmare reptiles like this behemoth Keelback snake:

Children are the future, which is why, as every parent knows, you have to give them a good scare once in a while. You know, to teach them some humility, so they stop saying that they want to be president or Elsa from Frozen when they grow up. Plus, kids look so cute when they're traumatized! Here, Someecards honors the horrible human beings who are the best at scaring the bejeezus out of children too young to realize that showing your fearful emotions instead of repressing them deep down is stupid.

There are a lot of folks out there with a knack for falling or screwing up in entertaining ways. Honestly, it takes skill and gumption for someone to fall gracefully or catch something with their face, even if they weren't trying.

Principal rejects student's yearbook quote about being gay, forcing him to come out to his parents.

A high school senior in Maine, Zach Sides, is claiming that his high school principal told him that his yearbook quote about coming out of the closet was offensive, and she did not want it to be published. The (pretty funny) quote in question is: "It's no wonder I dress so well, I didn't spend all of my time in the closet for nothing." But according to Sides, his principal at Penobscot Valley High School​, Carol Marcinkus, was not laughing.

Marcinkus refused to comment on the controversy herself, and instead directed all comments to the district's superintendent, Michael Wright, who is a lot better at taking jokes:

That did not seem inappropriate to me at all … I thought it was in good humor and was in good taste. What this has done is it has made us look at moving forward our policies and procedures and guidelines for determining yearbook quotes, what gets in and what doesn't.

Well-dressed gay man Zach Sides.

Wright also said he resolved issue as soon as it crossed his desk by allowing the quote to be published in the yearbook. Although the issue was resolved, it brought on another ordeal for Sides—having to officially come out to his parents.

Honestly, I never really wanted to come out. I just wanted to bring home my boyfriend and be like this is who I like and this is who I want to be with and just hope that everyone was okay with it. 

As of now, it is very doubtful that Sides will ask Principal Marcinkus to sign his yearbook. 

Good news, haters: the Kardashian sisters are being sued for $180 million.

Let the haterade flow, because on March 21, Hillair Capital Management—an investor in the Kardashian Beauty makeup line, filed a $180 million lawsuit against Kim, Kourtney, and Khloé Kardashian. The suit also includes the sisters' corporations, called Kimsaprincess Inc., 2Die4Kourt, and Khomoney Inc., respectively, and it is for fraud and breach of contract.

"Kourtney, why aren't you wearing a red cleavy dress?"
"If I've learned one thing from our lives, it's that literally nothing matters."

Hillair alleges that they made a deal with the Kardashian sisters to promote Kardashian Beauty on several social media platforms, which Hillair claims they failed to do. Instead, according to the lawsuit, the sisters instead started looking for new investors to buy out Hillair's stake.

The lawsuit also claims that Khloé "publicly disparaged" the makeup line by publicly stating that "she hated everything about the Kardashian Beauty products and appearance." Well, that certainly doesn't sound like a very good promotional tactic, to say the least.

https://www.instagram.com/p/BCycuqjrR9d/

But according to the Daily News, the Kardashians' attorney Michael Kump issued a statement saying: "The Kardashians have suffered enormous damages as a result of the many failures and breaches created by the operator’s mismanagement of the company. The lawsuit is a disgrace. It is a jumble of false accusations which will be exposed as lies.” So dramatic!

Whatever the outcome, the most important part of this lawsuit is the fact that Kim, Kourtney, and Khloé have corporations with names that sound like they should be Twitter handles. Really, "Kimsaprincess Inc."? What gives, ladies?

Olympic hopeful parades her stretch marks and split abdomen on Instagram like they're gold medals.

While training to run the 10,000 meter race at the 2016 Summer Olympics, professional runner Stephanie Rothstein Bruce has become an Instagram star for letting it all hang out in her photos. Literally—her loose skin from having two babies is proudly pronounced in a number of her photos, which also touch on the state of Bruce's split abdomen. 

https://www.instagram.com/p/BA01qziCnzX/

After developing ab separation (called diastasis recti) during pregnancy, much more than Bruce's external appearance changed: "When I started back running again, I could barely run a 9 minute pace, versus when on easy days when I'm in shape I could run 7-7:30 pace," Bruce said, making anyone who's ever gotten on a treadmill feel like a turtle. "And I was having a lot of bathroom issues," she continued. "I couldn't control peeing, I had bowel incontinence, so I was going to the bathroom on a run." That would definitely put a damper on any jog.

While Bruce's core strength has greatly improved since her most recent birth, her stretch marks are still there to remind her that her sons once called her womb home. The marks are also on her Instagram, reminding others of this truth, too. 

https://www.instagram.com/p/BAI01C9inx1/

It still looks like a hot mess but the stability and strength is coming back to my core. The big 3: bird dogs, side planks, McGill crunch performed twice a day, everyday with extreme precision. It's boring, monotonous but gets the job done. Stretch marks are here to stay! #14weekpostpartum #diastasisrecti #keepingitreal

#7weekspostpartum I can stick 3 fingers in between my 2 ab walls. But it's not about ascetics it's about functionality. ​

https://www.instagram.com/p/BDBd-euinzZ/

When I look down I see stretch marks that are here to stay, ab muscles that need continued strengthening, legs that are powerful, and feet that are ready to fly! #trackseason #timetofly #flystyle

https://www.instagram.com/p/BB_Rn0iin_a/

"I don't think I'm that inspiring," Bruce told People, "but a lot of women kind of felt like it is, and I just hope that other women feel that confidence, and post their baby bodies, and don't feel ashamed. These issues happen to all of us so I just hoped I could get the conversation going."  

https://www.instagram.com/p/BB6OlXLin8k/

Bruce is obviously quite modest, as a brief stalking of her Instagram comments reveals that she is indeed moving other women to embrace their post-partum forms:

Bruce is an inspiration not only for displaying her stretch marks publicly, but also for training for the summer Olympics with two little additions to her family. That sounds like a scheduling nightmare.

David Letterman retired from hostingThe Late Show last May, and a few months afterwards he started sporting a beard. But here's the funny thing about beards—they just keep growing if you don't trim them. It turns out that's exactly what Letterman has done during his retirement, along with staying fit and vacationing in a tropical place. Pretty standard retirement stuff.

https://twitter.com/DailyMailCeleb/status/712636776888803328

Pictures of Letterman's new look, including a shaggy beard, shaved head, and jogging gear, went viral on the Internet on Wednesday. Fans were just a bit surprised to see the contrast from the clean-shaven, bespectacled Letterman they remember from TV. Here are some of their best reactions:

Amy Dunne posted a video of herself and her friend Nicole Edstrand belting out some classic ballads on Facebook, accompanied by the eager and mostly incoherent babble of their kids. While the moms butchered Wilson Phillips' 1990 Hold On and Whitney Houston's 1985 Greatest Love of All, their kids attempted to regain the center of attention, and more importantly, to halt the a cappella concert. These Illinois moms could not have cared less about answering their children's desperate pleas.

It's redditor BinanoSplat's birthday today (March 23), and he's going out to dinner with his girlfriend. That sounds like a nice intimate evening—except for the fact that BinanoSplat has publicly announced his intention to hand his girlfriend a card that basically says, "Screw you, I know you're cheating." Happy birthday, BinanoSplat!​ 

The Internet is now waiting with bated breath for updates on his dinner date, which is set for roughly 10 p.m. EST. He has promised a full debriefing after the dinner. Update: he blew it by telling everyone (see below).

The front of the card suggests it's filled with nothing but love.

THIS CARD WILL FEEL HEAVY

Which it would be, except that BinanoSplat has added a personal touch.

BECAUSE IT'S PACKED WITH TONS OF GOOD THOUGHTS. your house key.

Now that you're single, you don't need to feel guilty about your sexually charged texts w/ Michael, going on dates w/ Jared, or about getting drinks tomorrow with Heidi Derek.

BinanoSplat said on Reddit that he'd first suspected his girlfriend after "[s]he left her Facebook messenger open to a pretty damning conversation when she handed me her laptop once. I continued to snoop," he wrote. He's since confirmed that his soon-to-be-ex girlfriend has been on dates with two other guys and is texting a third.

"I've been made to feel like I was the jerk and the one who was more likely to cheat during the whole relationship," he said as an explanation for why he feels the need to return the key to her house with such flourish. "I feel bad, but not that bad." He'll probably feel a lot better after his dual dessert of birthday cake and sweet revenge.

Update—no he won't:

Unlike your company, the Swiss Army knife company has never laid off an employee. Here's why.

A lot of good things can be said about Swiss Army knives. They are adorable, handy, and super versatile. Need a corkscrew, a file, or an itty-bitty wrench? Your Swiss Army knife has got your back. Victorinox, the company that makes these knives, also has the back of its employees—they have never had to lay someone off since the company was founded in 1884.

The company set up a unique system that would allow them to pay their 900+ workers even when business is bad. They allocated certain amount of funds that were made during boom periods and set them aside in case the company was suffering. Those funds are then used to pay their employees even when the company isn't making money. They also outsourced labor to other companies so Victorinox employees are never left without a job.

After the 9/11 attacks, Victorinox lost 40% of their business because Swiss Army knives were considered easily concealed weapons. Thankfully, Victorinox was like a boy scout (always prepared), and used their boom profits to pay employees.

As of 2009, the company was able to celebrate that over one-hundred of their employees have been with Victorinox for over forty years. That is like, x10 longer than most celebrity marriages. 

“We consider our employees as one big family, and we have always tried to apply a strategy that allows us to overcome normal economic cycles,” said Victorinox President and CEO Carl Elsener Jr.

Aw, they are like one big family! A big family that makes tiny knives.
