Long lunch.


Jimmy Fallon and President 'Baracky with the good hair' slow jammed the news.

Only eight more months of Barack Obama, the only president America's ever had who could "slow jam the news." And Jimmy Fallon took advantage of Barack's smooth style when he stopped by The Tonight Show by getting him to cover some highlights of his administration, R&B-style.

Fallon said it was a shame Obama couldn't stay on for a third term, but it seems "Baracky with the Good Hair" already has other plans.

Daddy is OVER IT.

"In short, climate change is real, health care is affordable, and love is love."

The "Prez Dispenser" also took a few minutes to write some of Fallon's famous thank you notes.

There's no chance of the next president being nearly as good on late night shows, but they've still got some time to work on it.

Guy's Twitter rant goes viral for being casually real about his marriage and how feminism saved him.

Since Twitter is usually a cesspool of snark and cyberbullying, an honest, earnest post has the unique ability to stand out. Danny Tira Trago, a writer and "capoeirista" in Dayton, Ohio, went viral for an honest serious of tweets about the agony and the ecstasy of married life. The journey is long (54 tweets!) but worth it. Like any great piece of literature, it has ups and downs and high stakes.

Put your seatbelt on, because you will be moved. He dives right in, discussing the expectations versus reality when it comes to holy matrimony.

He talks about a time he was *this close* to getting into a fight (albeit to defend his wife), but with a family, couldn't risk going all the way.

Having gotten real about marriage, he then gets real about divorce.

The story takes a tragic turn, when his son was diagnosed with cancer, but it was his true partnership with his wife that got him through.

While people often believe that marriages break down because of cheating or a huge event, sometimes marriages break down because life can break you down.

He goes on to thank his wife, so sweetly and sincerely.

So sweet, despite the "lmao"

People on Twitter were profoundly moved by the series of tweets.

When it comes to relationships and going viral on Twitter, honesty is the best policy.

Parents go in for an ultrasound and learn they're giving birth to a beautiful baby car.

Redditor Brewhaus3223 and his wife went to the doctor for an ultrasound at 24 weeks. Like any couple, they were likely excited and a little nervous. But it went better then they could have ever expected, because as they quickly found out, they're giving birth to a beautiful baby car.

Brewhaus3223 tells Someecards that he and his wife had been trying to have a baby for two years without success. After multiple attempts at in vitro fertilization, they finally had their first child via gestational surrogate, who gave birth to a lovely daughter with no Transformer qualities.

Then, when their daughter was about six months old, "A miracle happened and my wife became pregnant naturally, well as naturally as you can when you're carrying a car."

The kid's future. Destiny.

The commenters feasted on the opportunity for puns and car-jokes, with one dude saying, "The Fast and the Fetus," and another saying"The All-New Ford Fetus!" Yeah, lots of fetus stuff. It's okay though, because Brewhaus3223 says he can "always enjoy a good pun."

For those of you who aren't mechanics and couldn't figure it out yourselves, Brewhaus3223 is happy to announce: "It's a boy car!"

People are sending cards to a teen with autism after no one showed up to her birthday party.

Facebook user Rebecca Lyn sent out a plea that went viral earlier this week, asking anyone who can to send her autistic cousin, Hallee Sorenson​, a card for her birthday. In her post, Rebecca describes how not one of the 20 people invited showed up to Hallee's 18th birthday party last year, leaving her alone and crying into her birthday cake. (Don't worry, the story gets happier.) Lyn is now on a mission to make sure that Hallee's birthday this year will be unforgettable, for good reasons this time.

EVERYONE PLEASE READ:: I NEED A FAVOR
This is my cousin Hallee. I'd like to tell you a little bit about her... First off, she is a beautiful young woman-both inside and out. She lights up a room with her smile.Hallee is funny, sweet, caring, smart, an athlete, a jigsaw puzzle champion, a wonderful student, and a best friend to all. Hallee is an amazing person-a person I am proud to be related to. She is also a person who just happens to have Autism. She has never let that small detail define who she is as a person-which is why I refuse to use it as something to describe her. A fun fact is that Hallee's Birthday is fast approaching! And this is where I have a favor to ask of all of you....

Below is a picture of Hallee last year at her 18th birthday party. She had been so excited to have a party with her friends. She wanted to go bowling, have fun, and eat cake and Ice Cream. Invitations went out to her classmates at school and to other friends in the area. Hallee sat at her party anxiously waiting for her friends to arrive so they could have fun....but Hallee's friends would never arrive. Not a single one. Below is the picture of her celebrating alone - eating her birthday cake. My cousin is a beautiful young woman who will always have the mind of a child...so as you can imagine, she was heartbroken and beyond sad. She was hurt...

But you can help make this years birthday incredible!! I would love to flood her mailbox with birthday cards, from all over! Hal loves getting mail- this would be the best birthday gift she could ask for. If you could find it in your heart to take a few mins out of your day and send her a card, I would be forever greatful. This would mean a lot to her mother as well, for as you can imagine, watching your child cry into her birthday cake breaks your heart. If there is anyone who deserves a great birthday, this is the girl. Feel free to share this post!

Hallee's 19th Birthday is in July

Address:
Hallee Sorenson
34 Wellesley Way
Bangor, ME 04401

Please help us make this birthday memorable.
Thank you,
Becky

::::;UPDATE::::: Many people are asking about sending gifts. This is incredibly sweet of all of you and my family is very appreciative. That being said, gifts truly aren't necessary. A nice card would be just fine!!! Thank you so much.

So far, the post has been shared over 140,000 times. Hallee's mother, Allyson Seel-Sorenson, spoke to The Daily Mail about how heartbreaking her daughter's birthday was last year.

"I was hiding behind a pillar crying and sent the picture to my husband asking him what I should do. I didn't know what I should tell her," she said, "My daughter was finally wanting to celebrate her birthday with friends, she was so excited and so were we because we were able to give this to her. But then no one showed up."

It's her party, and you'll cry just reading about it.

Luckily, it looks like Hallee's 19th birthday is going to much better than her 18th, since strangers from all over the world have been sending her cards and gifts. (Lyn insists that gifts are not necessary, and a simple card is just fine). Her mother could not be more thrilled about the generosity and enthusiasm being shown toward her daughter.

Seel-Sorenson said that Hallee is about six years old mentally, and gets very excited when mail is addressed to her, so this birthday surprise is going to be a big deal for her. She also said that they are throwing a family-only party for Hallee's 19th, to mitigate any chance of a repeat of last year.

It it possible to love and hate humanity all at the same time?

Seel-Sorenson also says that she hopes those who read Hallee's will understand the importance of including people with special needs and disabilities.

"People think that kids like Halle don't want to be included, they don't want to be invited places or have a party, but that's not true and she was devastated."

Woman uses the power of cats to finally get through to her cable company.

Dealing with cable companies has to be one of the most frustrating, annoying things you can find yourself having to do. A woman named Laura Carrie in Australia dealt with this recently, when five days after her cable company, Telstra, told her that her broadband would be up and running, she still had no Internet. Instead of getting mad, though, she just posted a message to their Facebook page, along with a snapshot of how she'd been spending her time sans the web—by playing cards with her cat, naturally.

Her post read:

Hi Telstra! I know people usually complain when their broadband was supposed to be connected 5 days ago, and they have made five futile phone calls to you, but I'd like to see the positive side and thank you for giving me a night off from working on my small business. Usually I'd be slogging away on my computer taking care of my customers but thanks to you I can't do that anymore, so I'm having a night off, Woo!!!

Now I can't watch Netflix (no interwebs remember) so I have to make my own fun. So I thought I'd reconnect with my cat, Kittie Smalls. Seeing as this night wouldn't have been possible without YOU I thought I'd share some moments with you

This is us playing poker. She's a natural.

The confusing thing about this is—how did she manage to post on Facebook without the internet? Maybe via phone? Maybe it was even her cat's phone.

"Are you sure it's plugged in?"

When playing poker with her cat failed to get the cable company to notice her, Carrie stepped it up a bit, posting a picture six days later of Kittie Smalls practicing some yoga.

Day 11. Guess what?! No, no, you'll never guess.... Still no broadband! This gives me yet another wonderful opportunity to continue the awkward journey of reconnecting with Kittie Smalls. Telstra Thanks!

We're extra grateful today as we've started doing yoga. So, as well as rekindling our friendship, we're also getting mad limber. This is a pretty good first effort of "Spinal Twist".

She was being sarcastic, but amazingly calm. Must be all the yoga.

Two days later it was party time, as Carrie and Smalls were about to finally have cable again.

Evening my dears,

Ok, Day 12 with no broadband connection and I have a very exciting update! Like, ERMAGHERD, my case manager Jill and my super techie guy Suman just told me that I will totally be connected in 24 hrs, woo-hoo!

This means Kittie Smalls and I, in our last night of awkward reconnection thanks to sheer boredom, are planning a special party for tomorrow night! We've invited the love of our life, Brent Stephens, over to finally watch our new TV in glorious 4K Netflix. Look how 'excited' she is. Telstra Thanks!

But NOPE, it was actually not to be.

Worst. Netflix. Party. Ever.

Seriously, how much disappointment can one cat take? Doesn't the cable company realize how much this woman and her poor cat need their Netflix?

Fifteen cable-less days later, Carrie had to try a new tactic. She brought in the heavy (cat) artillery.

**dramatic drumroll**

ERMAGHERD - I have TWO cats

Yup, I know, you thought this was all about Kittie Smalls didn't you. Well, I'm very sorry to have to introduce to you, The Flee. So called as, well, she flees a lot.

I didn't want to have to include her in Telstragate. She's not like Smalls. She's shy, scared of loud noises, she just doesn't like being in the limelight. But, you forced my hand Telstra, you forced my hand...

Disappointed cat, is, disappointed in you

Well, looks like Flee the Cat made Telstra sit up and take notice. A spokesperson for the company told Mashable Australia on Friday that Carrie and her two cats now have internet, and they also revealed that they'd provided her with a pre-paid mobile device so she was able to access broadband before they connected her.

Hopefully her cats didn't steal the device to play online poker, as cats are wont to do. Can't trust 'em as far as you can throw them (note: please don't throw cats).

New 'naked restaurant' in Japan will measure patrons to make sure they're not too fat.

A new restaurant, called The Amrita, is coming out in Japan for everyone who loves to eat food while naked.Well, almost everyone. Per their website, if you are overweight, you can't come in.

A couple other naked restaurants already exist in London and Melbourne, but this is the first one that subjects its patrons to being judged by size like a bulky carry-on item at airport security. Per the website, if you look like you are overweight, you will be weighed to verify, and then sent away.

Here is the website's visiting procedure, cryptically translated by Lord Google.

"Please be careful, fatties."

Here, kilometers is meant to mean kilograms. 15 kg is about 33 lbs, so basically, if you weigh 30 lbs more than the average for your height, no food or paper diapers for you.

When they write "please be careful," what is meant is that if you are determined to be too fat to eat, you will lose your reservation and your tickets will not be refunded. You should have known better.

Here, they detail the rules more explicitly. Please note you will be weighed and measured:

How can you tell if you are a tattoo or a tattoo? Google Translate is not perfect.

Amongst the additional rules:

- No tattoos, either on your skin or just in general. Tattoos will not be served.

- There is an age limit of 18-60. Apparently being old is just as bad as being fat.

The rest are more reasonable: no talking to anyone, no touching the other customers, no cell phone or camera use.

Average-weighted (naked) people need their privacy, please.

Despite the limitations, the restaurant is confident the experience is worth it. Rocketnews is reporting the restaurant will also feature an all nude male review featuring "the best of the best American and European male models." And as it turns out, its almost impossible to see the show even if you do have an average body weight, because tickets for the dinner plus show ($748) for their July 29 opening are already sold out. So, if you want to wear a paper diaper and eat amongst other people wearing paper diapers, you better make your rezzy's and start dieting now.

TL;DR: Penis and balls, let's eat. Body fat, they've lost their appetite.

The Internet loves pranks. The Internet loves women in skimpy outfits, combine the two, and it becomes a force more powerful than the world wide web itself.

The Internet reached its climax (as did many viewers) with a montage on the Instagram of a man telling his girlfriend that there's a spider/moth/wasp on her shoulder, and she keeps freaking out.

Either the boyfriend is helping her face her phobia with some Exposure Response Therapy, or just likes to see things jiggle. Between the dumb prank, bikini, and breasts, it is the ultimate bro video.

'Pretty Little Liars' sent out an ad with a major Photoshop mistake.

With the ability to Photoshop comes Photoshop hubris, and hubris, as you remember from your high school class on Greek dramas, is a tragic flaw. See, for instance, Lindsay Lohan's physics-defying butt, Khloé Kardashian's wavy doorframe, and Kim Kardashian's completely unnecessary ponytail "fix"—modern day Icaruses, all. But none of these mistakes come close to the one made by a group of professionals to promote the basic cable tween soap Pretty Little Liars.

Also, in case you're wondering, the actress, Sasha Pieterse, has two legs in real life, as does her character, Alison DiLaurentis. Just not when someone's using the power of Photoshop to remove all flaws, including disgusting, semi-necessary appendages.

Like the real thing, this 'Marauder's Map' tattoo only shows up if you know the secret.

To reveal the secret contents of the Weasley twins' infamous "Marauder's Map," a wizard had to tap it with a wand and say, "I solemnly swear that I am up to no good."

And say "mischief managed" to put it away.

Revealing the words on this Reddit user's"Maruader's Map" tattoo is a lot easier. All you need is a black light.

You don't get a map, but you hopefully get a discount at the Harry Potter theme park.

Obviously, Potterheads are drooling over the sneaky ink, but other commenters are bringing up the safety of black light tattoos in general. Because the FDA"has not approved any tattoo pigments for injection into the skin," it's not really regulated. It might depend on your skin as to what kind of side effects develop.

Side effects?

If you're thinking about getting one yourself, you should probably ask an expert about the health implications. If you just want to ogle a Harry Potter fan who's gone farther than you ever will, then stay right where you are. You're in the right place.

Adorably polite grandma doesn't quite get Google.

A U.K. man named Ben John is going viral with an adorable tweet about his grandmother's old-school values running up against 21st century technology. It happened when he opened his grandma's laptop and saw her most recent Google search.

If you have trouble reading it, she wrote:

please translate these roman numerals mcmxcviii thank you

Saying "please" and "thank you" to Google? This nan is a jewel of a bygone era. Like when Ask Jeeves was the big search engine. That guy was so classy, you had to watch your manners around him. But most people take Google for granted in a very heartless way. And Bing? Those searches usually look like this:

hey bing you fucking idiot what movies are playing in my area if you can even handle that

Behavior like this will determine who lives and who dies after the robot uprising. And this grandma will be given a place of honor, as she deserves. She's a treasure.

6 celebrities who were also Olympic-level athletes because they're just too talented.

$

0

She’s so famous for reality TV, fraternizing with Kardashians, and reckless driving that it’s easy to forget why Caitlyn Jenner was ever famous in the first place. (She won the gold medal in the decathlon at the 1976 Summer Olympics.) Here are some other actors and entertainers who were also world-class athletes.

1. Dr. Benjamin Spock.

The baby guy, not the Star Trek guy.

In 1946, he revolutionized the way people cared for their babies (by telling parents to show their babies love and attention) with his book Baby and Child Care. In 1924, Spock, while a student at Yale, rowed for the U.S. men's crew team. He won a gold medal in Paris that summer.


2. Geena Davis.

At least she has that Oscar-winning career to fall back on.

Davis seems like one of those people who is successful at everything she tries. Case in point: She took up archery as a hobby in 1997 at age 41. By 1999, she was shooting arrows competitively, and was invited to try out for the U.S. Olympic archery team. Out of 300 archers, she was one of 28 women to reach the semifinals round. There, she placed 24th—not high enough to make the team, but astoundingly high for someone who had only been doing it for two years.


3. Jason Statham.

"What's all this then?" –Jason Statham, always.

Statham was a star athlete as a child, excelling in both football (which is what the Brits call soccer) and diving (which is what the Brits call diving), both of which he practiced every day. He got pretty good at diving—Statham was on the English National Diving Squad for 12 years. In 1990, he competed in the Commonwealth Games, which are an Olympics-like thing for countries controlled or once controlled by the British crown. On track for the 1992 Olympics, he gave up diving when he was scouted by a modeling agency.


4. Bruce Dickinson.

He flies planes because they're made of PURE METAL. (And fiberglass.)

He’s the lead singer of legendary heavy metal band Iron Maiden, and he’s also a licensed pilot that flies the band around on tour. But there's more—Bruce Dickinson is also a world-class fencer. He was on track to compete in the 1984 Olympics, but gave it up to spend the majority of his time on music. When he walked away from fencing, he was the seventh-ranked fencer in England.


5. Harold Sakata.

Everyone remembers their first Oddjob.

In 1948, Hawaiian-born Sakata won a silver medal in weightlifting at the Summer Olympics. After wrestling professionally under the name Tosh Togo, he was discovered by a casting agent, and given the iconic role of scrappy henchman Oddjob in Goldfinger (1964), the third James Bond movie.


6. Hillary Wolf.

Leaving opponents behind like they were her smarmy little brother.

Among Kevin McAllister's approximately 75 siblings in the chaos at the beginning of Home Alone was older sister Megan, portrayed by actress Hillary Wolf. After reprising the role in Home Alone 2, she gave up acting to pursue judo. Wolf is a four-time national judo champion, and had a spot on the U.S. Olympic judo teams in 1996 and 2000.

Gay actors Noah Galvin and Colton Haynes got into a feud about the right way to come out, as if that's a thing.

$

Noah Galvin plays the sweet, loveable Kenny O'Neal on The Real O'Neals, but after his shockingly honest interview with Vultureran yesterday, this kid is definitely not as innocent as he seems. On top of calling out producer/director Bryan Singer's affinity for young gay men, accusing Eric Stonestreet of "gay minstrelsy," and telling young closeted people that he is "not their f-cking soothsayer," he also critiqued Arrow actor Colton Haynes's slow coming out process. Yea, this interview was a real doozy.

Noah Galvin getting hit in the face with tons of internet rage.

The interview, which has now been edited amidst all the controversy, originally contained an expletive-filled rant about why Galvin didn't agree with the way that Haynes addressed his sexuality. Galvin took issue with the fact that Haynes never felt the need to openly say that he was gay until a very recent interview with Entertainment Weekly, saying "That's f-king p---y bulls--t. That's like, enough people assume that I sleep with men, so I'm just going to slightly confirm the fact that I've sucked a d--k or two. That's not doing anything for the little gays but giving them more masturbation material."

He was definitely not mincing words when it came to the (refreshingly) honest interview, but Galvin's camp probably woke up to a complete PR nightmare after Vulture published it. The Real O'Neals is a sitcom that deals with the acceptance of LGBTQ people, so harsh words about how someone deals with their sexuality definitely is not in line with the show's message. Still, it is kind of awesome to hear someone actually state what they feel in an interview instead of smiling and providing a stock answer to save face, even if you disagree with what they're saying.

When Haynes caught wind of what was said about him, he took to his Instagram to respond.

Of course, given the mess he created, Galvin also issued an apology via his Twitter account because, you know, PR. Is screenshotting the notes on your iPhone the new official way to issue apologies, by the way?

Well, Galvin has definitely pissed people off and may have burnt some valuable bridges in the Hollywood, but don't you really want to watch The Real O'Neals now?
