The angriest reactions to Matt Lauer blowing it at the NBC candidates' forum last night.

0
0

Matt Lauer, a face you're used to watching bro out with Al Roker on Rockefeller Plaza or getting Ryan Lochte to apologize, had his shot at the big leagues Wednesday night when he moderated the presidential candidates in a forum ahead of their first debate.

According to the most vocal viewers, he also let Trump get away with blatant lies about his views on the war in Iraq, and gave Clinton significantly harder questions.

Lauer brushed over it, but Trump's former support for the Iraq War is well documented.

The clip uncovered by BuzzFeed's Andrew Kaczynski and Nathan McDermott has been floating around for months now, a well-established fact that Trump was in fact for the invasion of Iraq.

Stern: Are you for invading Iraq?

Trump: Yeah, I guess so. I wish the first time it was done correctly.

"Yeah I guess so."

Only the most confident words from a powerful statesmen, believe me.

Lauer just brushed over Trump's blatant lie, and the internet was not letting him get away with it. He was also criticized for not following up with Clinton on her plans for Syria, focusing on the "damn emails" instead.

There's now even a hashtag to commemorate his epic bomb: #LaueringTheBar.

In conclusion, Lauer blew it.

The 10 greatest Apple commercials of all time.

0
0

Over the years, the folks at Apple have inspired us, made us think, and made us laugh. Their commercials are almost as good as the products themselves. Here are the best of the best in Apple advertising.

They can take away our headphone jacks, but they'll never take away our memories.

1.

COMMERCIAL: Apple Macintosh (1984)

TITLE: "1984"

WHY IT'S GREAT: This is the one that started it all. Also it's terrifying AF.


2.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=31&v=z816bVafG_Q

COMMERCIAL: Apple iMac (1998)

TITLE: "Beige"

WHY IT'S GREAT: Jeff Goldblum, obviously. I could listen to him rattle on and on forever. Also, this ad spawned an amazing spin off where someone slowed the ads down and made the actor appear super drunk. Amazing.


3.

COMMERCIAL: Original iPhone (2007)

TITLE: "Hello"

WHY IT'S GREAT: Nostalgia! Remember land lines? That sh*t was cray.


4.

COMMERCIAL: iPod (2004-2008)

TITLE: "Silhouette"

WHY IT'S GREAT: This was one of the most iconic advertising campaigns ever. It combined popular music with bright colors and dancing silhouettes. It's instantly recognizable and spawned a lot of parodies in its day.

The force was strong with this one.

5.

COMMERCIAL: Apple PowerBook (1992)

TITLE: "What's on your PB- Standup Comedian"

WHY IT'S GREAT: This ad was part of a series where people with different jobs told how they used their Apple PowerBook, but this one is really special because it's always important to remember how annoying stand up comedians are.


6.

COMMERCIAL: Apple (1997)

TITLE: "The Crazy Ones"

WHY IT'S GREAT: An inspirational ad narrated by Richard Dreyfuss, “The Crazy Ones” was the first commercial approved by Steve Jobs after he returned to the company in 1997.


7.

COMMERCIAL: iPhone 4S (2012)

TITLE: "Date Night"

WHY IT'S GREAT: No matter how many times you watch it, you can't help but wonder if Samuel L. Jackson is gonna drop an F-bomb on Siri.


8.

COMMERCIAL: iPad Air (2014)

TITLE: "Your Verse"

WHY IT'S GREAT: This commercial features the Robin Williams inspirational speech from the 1989 film Dead Poets Society. Tragically, Williams passed away the same year.


9.

COMMERCIAL: Apple Music (2016)

TITLE: "Taylor vs. Treadmill"

WHY IT'S GREAT: Um, it's got Taylor Swift falling on her face. Need I say more?


10.

COMMERCIAL: Mac Computer (2006-2009)

TITLE: "Get a Mac"

WHY IT'S GREAT: Remember these ads? Of course you do. There were 66 of them total, and they were on constantly. In the series, Justin Long plays the young cool Mac and John Hodgman played the bumbling nerd PC. You wanna be cool right?

Dude, you're gettin' a Dell.

Couple celebrates being married for almost 60 years with 'Notebook'-themed photo shoot.

Love is real, and this The Notebook-inspired photo shoot of Clemma and Sterling Elmore, a couple married for 57 years, proves it.

Move over, Noah and Allie.

According to The Huffington Post, the gorgeous pictures were snapped in Oklahoma September 2 by Stacy Welch-Christ of Mary Evelyn Photography. Welch-Christ says Clemma and Sterling were naturals. "They fell right into love in each pose. It was very natural and sweet ― the way true love is."

Rachel McAdams and Ryan Gosling can only hope to age this well.
I think I finally get what "goals" means now.
This has a better ending than The Notebook, let's be honest.

According to ABC News, Clemma was actually the one to propose to Sterling. Sterling, who knew he was going to marry Clemma from the first time he set eyes on her, said yes.

What is a Notebook-themed photoshoot without notes?

Their granddaughter Amber Elmore-Christ picked out the 1940s-themed outfits for her "Nanaw and Papaw."

This photoshoot obviously couldn't have happened without a millennial.

So what is the secret to nearly six decades of love? According to Clemma: putting God first, working at their relationship and having respect for one another. Plus, she and her husband “never fail to tell each other, probably 10 times a day, 'I love you.'"

Check out the rest of the photos here.

GOP Chairman Reince Preibus literally told Hillary Clinton to smile more.

Wednesday night, presidential candidates Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump took the stage (not together, though) at the Intrepid Sea, Air & Space museum in New York City for the Commander-in-Chief Forum, led by Matt Lauer. Afterwards, Reince Priebus, the chairperson of the Republican National Committee, took to Twitter with his thoughts on the program, which basically came down to "Why lady person no smile more?"

His tweet reads: "Hillary Clinton was angry + defensive the entire time - no smile and uncomfortable - upset that she was caught wrongly sending our secrets."

Sure, that's definitely not a double standard—remember all those times male politicians have been criticized for not making prettier, happier, and more pleasing faces? Anyway, Clinton fired back at Priebus, reminding him that political debates are not beauty contests.

Clinton's retort was: "Actually, that's just what taking the office of President seriously looks like."

Priebus' message did not go unnoticed by Twitter:

Grocery store apologizes for 'misunderstanding' over refusing to sell Zendaya gift cards.

Vons grocery store issued an apology to Zendaya for a "misunderstanding" over a refusal to sell the 20-year-old performer $400 in gift cards, which she felt was due to her "skin tone."

A representative for the store gave the following statement to People:

At Vons, we strive to treat each and every customer with the utmost respect. There is a policy that limits gift card purchases using a credit card. Zendaya was able to purchase gift cards up to our limit, and we apologize for any inconvenience or misunderstanding.

We respect Zendaya's voice in the community and similarly are committed to diversity and inclusion. Moreover, we understand that race is a sensitive issue in America and view this experience as a reminder that every interaction is an opportunity to treat each customer as we ourselves would like to be treated.

Zendaya had described the incident in a series of Snapchats , saying, "So we just got out of this Vons, and I'm like, trying to buy a lot of gift cards…but the lady who was helping us, I don't think she was a huge fan of our skin tone…she was like, 'you can't afford this,' is how she looked at me."

A friend with Zendaya added, "She was rude."

"Extremely," Zendaya continued, "In fact, I recall her not trying to help us at all, saying we couldn't by the gift cards, and then throwing my wallet." She continued, "This is what we deal with." The friend finished her thought for her: "Because we're black."

People reportsZendaya was eventually able to purchase the gift cards with the help of a manager.

The first page of the 'Gilmore Girls' reboot script is here to make you shriek with joy.

Page one of the script for the long-awaited new Gilmore Girls reboot is here and SPOILER ALERT: It's perfect.

It's been a nerve-wracking year for GG fans ever since we heard the Stars Hollow crew would return to the small screen. Will it be as good as the original? Will Melissa McCarthy return? (Yes!) Will Rory and Dean end up together (probably not, thank god)??

Apparently Lauren Graham, who plays Lorelai Gilmore, was trepidatious, too. “I didn’t read the last episode for the longest time because I was scared,” she says. “I loved how everything was teed up in the first three and I, carrying the burden of everybody in my mind, was like, ‘Oh God, what’s going to happen?’"

Well, we still don't know everything that will happen. But here's a few lines from Page 1, courtesy of original GG creator Amy Sherman-Palladino via Entertainment Weekly (you can read the whole first page here):

Not bad, right??

Graham was not disappointed either. "To me, it was deeply satisfying," she said. "And also it answered questions I didn’t even think of. I thought, ‘Oh how perfect, wow. I wouldn’t even have wondered that.'"

And Alexis Bledel, who plays Rory, was happy with the script too. “I read the first three in one sitting,” she said. “I was on page 7 or 8 when I remembered: Of course, this is that inviting town where everything is so familiar. And I felt like I was enveloped back into that time and place; wherever it exists in people’s imaginations, I was reminded of where it was in mine. It was so easy to just jump back in and get to work. Which is lucky — because I had to the next day.”

That's soooooo Rory.

Apparently Graham was especially on board for the jab at Gwyneth Paltrow's "Goop" line. “I just felt like that’s so quintessentially Amy and Lorelai,” she says. “It was then that I was like, ‘We’re going to be okay.’” (That's sooooo Lorelai.)

We're going to be okay.

Taylor seems to be crushing it post-Hiddlesplit.

On Tuesday, the nation and the world were rocked by the news that Taylor Swift and Tom Hiddleston's whirlwind summer romance had come to a screeching halt. Yes, Hiddlesplit was devastating for all of us. Except for Taylor, apparently.

Most of us would probably hole up in our apartments hiding from the world and watching terrible rom-coms on Netflix the day after a highly-publicized breakup, but not our Tay Tay. Here's what she looked like leaving the gym on Wednesday:

Not only are her hair and makeup somehow still completely flawless post-workout (I suspect witchcraft, honestly), but she has the overall demeanor of someone who truly does not give AF.

👀

A photo posted by Taylor Swift (@taylorswift) on

After the gym, Swift joined girl squad member Lily Aldridge for a girl's night out in NYC.

Taylor skipped out on traditional day-after-breakup fashion (old sweatshirt and underwear) and instead opted for one of the most perfect outfits in the history of outfits. Also of note: hair and makeup still 100% on point.

Yup. Tay seems to be doing just fine post-Hiddlesplit. How are you, Tom?


Mom goes viral with hilarious list of '20 Things To Know When You've Just Pushed Out A Baby.'

0

The first few hours after giving birth are exhilarating—until you try to hand the baby off so you can get 12 hours of sleep and they're like, "No no, you have to keep taking care of this thing forever." Then it gets terrifying. If you've ever felt that overwhelmed, you'll identify with British blogger Bekki Pope's list of "20 things to know when you've just pushed out a baby."

20 things to know when you've just pushed out a baby: 1. The after pains. Pain. After. Who knew? When God designed women...

Posted by Mummy Mumbles on Wednesday, August 24, 2016

20 things to know when you've just pushed out a baby:
1. The after pains. Pain. After. Who knew? When God designed women to give birth, he well and truly screwed us over....
2. Your first wee. Take a jug with you and pour it over your bits like you're trying to be a star in some very disturbing porno. It helps.
3.. Your first poo. Do not panic. You are not having another baby. It just feels that way. But just remember the size of the thing you pushed out of the front bit, and the prospect of pushing out what's in the back bit won't be quite so daunting. Your bum is not falling out. Or it might be. If you have piles. Which you probably do...
4. Your baby looks weird. Like... Really weird. 'Oh how cute/such a beautiful baby' etc will be said at you and you'll accept other people's opinions, but to you it looks like a hairless slightly purple old grandad with dried blood and skin stuck to its wrinkly face.
5. Their downstairs bits are ridiculous. You will worry about the impact they will have on their lives should they stay like that. Boys little nuggets are the size of whole walnut whips, but their willies are the size of the walnuts on the top that nobody wants. Apparently this 'swelling' goes down soon. If it doesn't, expect 'big bollocks' to be part of your sons school nickname.
6. Their first poo is not actually poo. It's tar. The midwives sneak in over night, fill your baby's nappy with treacle and then test you to see if you know to get rid of it, or to see if you decide to take one look at it and start googling 'why do nappies come pre-filled with marmite?'
7. Your first shower will be like a scene from Carrie. It's normal. It may feel like you'll never be right again and that you'll walk like John Wayne forever, and you might, but you'll feel so much better for the shower. You're literally washing away your sins. (If the baby was born out of wedlock anyway....)
8. Midwives like babies. They will come and pick yours up with no prior warning. They will squeeze their testicles, massage their tummies to make them crap, and fiddle with their face so much you're sure the baby looks like it's had botox when they give it back.
9. Your baby hates you. It's not crying. It's communicating with its master- the devil- about how successful their plan to destroy you is going. Seriously - it doesn't actually hate you. It may seem like it never cries when anyone else holds it or that it enjoys keeping you up all night, but really, it is so dependant on you it's embarrassing. Human babies are embarrassing.
10. You will say the word 'latch' more than you have ever said it in your life. And the idea of a tiny person casually sucking on your nipples suddenly becomes a reality. At this moment, you will feel like an actual proper mum.
And a cow.
11. There are people in hospital that can smell your vulnerability. They will take photos of your baby looking cute and then try and charge you a million pounds for it. They will scroll through the 50 photos they've taken of your baby in the same position, asking you to choose your favourites. and if you've got a partner like mine, that means you will have to re-mortgage your house by the time he's done...
12. The hospital food is as bad as it is so that people decide they would rather be in pain and at home than eating 'peaches and custard'. The custard is hot wee with a splash of breast milk mixed in, and the peaches are body parts that have been soaked in sugar over night. And don't eat the chocolate mousse. Just don't.
13. It farts. It burps. It hiccups. It makes weird noises in its sleep that make you think you're going to wake up and see Chucky in the cot- head spinning and laughing. You hope people know it's the baby and not you. Not that you'd know if you were farting. Your sphincter muscle control is somewhat lacking at the moment.
14. Everyone you've ever met will want to come to the hospital to see you. People get overexcited about visiting hospitals. They feel VIP when they walk in to a ward. You are a VIP- a very in-pain person. And you look and feel like death. So only accept visitors if you are up to it. You're still so high on drugs that making conversation with adults is like trying to sieve flour with a fishing net. Everything just pours out of you and none of the shit is stopped getting through...
15. Your tummy is now resembling a balloon that's slowly deflating and feeling very sorry for itself. If you press it, you instantly conclude that it would make a fantastic trampoline for Stuart Little. Or that if you sliced it up right now, the hospital kitchen staff would use it and palm it off as nectarine jelly..
16. They want you on contraception straight away. Countless midwives will come and talk to you about how fertile you are and how likely you are to become pregnant again. They do however forget one crucial thing- you're never having sex again. You never want to see a penis again. And if one comes near you, you'll most likely destroy it for the sake of women everywhere. The end.
17. Everything's angry. Your brain is angry, your eyes are angry, your tummy, your bladder, your bum. Your vagina isn't angry. It's f@&king livid. Give it a while to calm down but right now, you and she ain't friends...
18. People ask you if your milk has come in yet, and you half expect somebody dressed in a cravendale costume to waltz through the door and stay with you forever, handing you milk as and when your baby needs it. Not true. What actually happens is that, about 3 days in, your boobs start to leak like they have forgotten they are breasts and now believe they are garden sprinklers. Whose garden you don't know, but at the rate they start pouring out it must be the Queen's...
19. They want you to go home ASAP. You are taking up valuable bed space and now you have delivered your stinky human bundle and they've checked it over to make sure it isn't a live Picasso painting, you're free to leave. Don't. Not until you're ready. Get all the help and advice you need before going home. Because once you're at home, your baby is expecting you to know what you're doing and you'll wish you'd stayed longer at the hospital. If to only delay the car seat fiasco a little longer...
20. Stop worrying. You're not superwoman. There is no such thing as normal, and there is no such thing as perfect. You are your baby's normal. You are your baby's perfect. They aren't judging you. They are completely reliant on you and being responsible for another human being is not a piece of cake. It's a piece of 'oh my god I can't do this'. You can. And everyday will get easier. Breath mummy.
You just grew and pushed out a mini Mitchell brother. There's nothing you can't do.
Except sleep.
You can't do that anymore.

But hey, don't be sad. Maybe you'll sleep again in 20 years or so.

Real clowns are honking mad about the creepy clown reports from South Carolina.

0
0

Professional clowns are upset about recent media reports of creepy clown sightings in Greensville, South Carolina. Clowns were allegedly trying to lure children into the woods by offering them money.

It's a terrifying tale that obviously makes sensational headlines, especially when the Greensville police became officially involved. No clowns have been captured yet, probably because they retreat to the sewer or nightmare dimension from whence they came.

Naturally, some professional clowns are upset about all the bad press. Mike Becvar, aka Sir Toony Van Dukes, spoke with The New York Times about his concern:

I wonder how the reporting on the story would go if instead of clowns, people were dressing up as aliens, witches, zombies or doctors? What if they were wearing hospital scrubs, lab coats and a stethoscope around their neck. Would the news report that doctors were hiding in the woods trying to lure kids with candy?”

Yes, Sir Toony, the news would report multiple stories of anyone in any professional attire trying to lure kids into the woods with money.

If there are actual terror clowns in South Carolina, hopefully they're rounded up and hilariously jammed into the backseat of a small police car.

Single mom busts out the fake mustache so her son can have 'Donuts with Dad.'

It's only the third day of school, but Yevette Vasquez is already the frontrunner for Mom of the Year.

The Fort Worth, Texas mom went viral for making sure her son didn't miss out on her son's school's "Donuts with Dad" event, with help from a a stellar disguise. While not everybody has a dad, everybody has plaid.

Good morning, today at my son Elijah's skewl as I was dropping him off i ask him why there was so many cars... He said...

Posted by Yevette Vasquez on Thursday, September 1, 2016

Vasquez's son Elijah was quiet one day before school, and when she asked him what was going on, he said, "No, don't worry. It's just Donuts With Dad."

"I told him, 'How come you didn't tell me?' and joked I could've dressed up as a man for him," Vasquez said. They promptly turned the car around so she could do her makeover.

Mustache + Baseball Hat + Chain Belt + Plaid Shirt = Dad Starter Kit.

"My three boys are my loves, and I hope I can raise them to be amazing men, fathers and husbands, even without a father figure example for them," she told ABC News.

Dads with slimmer 'staches.

Vasquez also said that just because not all kids have dads doesn't mean the school should stop Donuts With Dad. "I know some people are saying that they shouldn’t have a specific Donuts With Dad day because kids without parents feel left out, and I do get that," she said,"But I feel they don't have to take the day away. I think it's nice the school celebrates fathers who are there for their children, and they also have a day with moms, Muffins With Mom."

They don't suspect a thing.

Vasquez told ABC News that she will be at Elijah's schools Muffins with Mom event, sans 'stache. And since the school loves family-dessert alliteration so much, maybe she'll be at Almonds with Aunt or Urchins with Uncle.

'Eat Pray Love' author reveals 2nd marriage ended because she fell in love with her best friend, a woman.

0

Eat, Pray, Love author Elizabeth Gilbert revealed in a Facebook post that she and her best friend of 15 years, Rayya Elias, are in a relationship. About two months ago, Gilbert announced that she and her husband José Nunes (aka Felipe in the book) are splitting up. So it looks like she is not dropping the 'love' from Eat, Pray, Love completely— she is just going on another soul-searching, novel-worthy journey in pursuit of it.

Gilbert realized that she was in love after Elias was diagnosed with incurable pancreatic and liver cancer. Already, this needs to be a book-turned-major-motion-picture starring Julia Roberts.

In the moment I first learned of Rayya's diagnosis, a trap door opened at the bottom of my heart (a trap door I didn't even know was there) and my entire existence fell straight through that door. From that moment forward, everything became about HER. I cancelled everything in my life that could be cancelled, and I went straight to her side, where I have been ever since.

Gilbert said that she wants to be honest about her relationship with Rayya, and no longer wants to pretend that the two women are nothing more than close friends. Given Rayya's diagnosis, Gilbert decided it would be best for her "integrity and sanity" to stop pretending that the two weren't romantically involved, and to spend whatever time they have together being out and proud girlfriends.

But something happened to my heart and mind in the days and weeks following Rayya's diagnosis. Death — or the prospect of death — has a way of clearing away everything that is not real, and in that space of stark and utter realness, I was faced with this truth: I do not merely love Rayya; I am in love with Rayya. And I have no more time for denying that truth. The thought of someday sitting in a hospital room with her, holding her hand and watching her slide away, without ever having let her (or myself!) know the extent of my true feelings for her...well, that thought was unthinkable.

Here is the thing about truth: Once you see it, you cannot un-see it. So that truth, once it came to my heart's attention, could not be ignored.

is love is love is love is love is love.

Gilbert goes on to explain that her budding relationship with her best friend is the reason why she is getting a divorce.

For those of you who are doing the math here, and who are wondering if this situation is why my marriage came to an end this spring, the simple answer is yes. (Please understand that I cannot say anything more about it than that. I trust you are all sensitive enough to understand how difficult this has been. As David Foster Wallace once wrote: "The truth will set you free — but not until it's had its way with you." Yes, it has been hard. Yes, the truth has had its way with us. And yes, the truth still stands.)

So. Here is where we stand now: Rayya and I are together. I love her, and she loves me. I'm walking through this cancer journey with her, not only as her friend, but as her partner. I am exactly where I need to be — the only place I can be.

So far, the women have largely been met with messages of love, acceptance and tolerance. To read Gilbert's post in full, (warning: it is a novel! Sorry, stupid joke) check it out here.

17-year old makeup artist knows the secret to a great senior portrait.

0

High school senior portraits can be murder. The lighting, the forced poses, none of it seems to add up to a good picture. Which is why YouTuber James Charles took matters into his own hands when it came time for his big moment.

It should be noted that Charles is a 17-year-old makeup artist wiz. But even so, sometimes the lighting for those senior portraits is god-awful, as was the case for Charles' first round of photos. He told Mashable...

I got there and posed for the photos. They came out okay but the lighting in the room was bad and my highlight was NOT on fleek.

Instead of just settling for the bad pictures, as the rest of us had to do, he contacted the photographer and scheduled a re-shoot.

They totally understood and they let me come in and bring my lights with me that I have for my makeup photography... My ring light is what I use for my photos normally so I knew having it would make the highlight look better.

This kid you guys! As soon as he graduates, he plans on leaving his hometown of Bethlehem, New York for the Big Apple.

...I plan on getting the hell out as fast as possible when I'm done and I want to go to school in NYC. I'm looking at FIT. I love how fast-paced and forward the city life is and it's definitely for me. Once I finish school I want to move to LA.

Yeah, you'll be hearing more about this kid.

Guy realizes creepy package buried in his backyard is a decades-old piece of literal witchcraft.

0
0

Reddit user ValjeanLucPicard (great username, by the way) made a spoooooky discovery while he was planting flowers in his backyard in Costa Rica. According to the album description he uploaded on Imgur, he was digging holes when he hit a piece of glass. He ended up digging more and pulled a jar out of the ground.

Sorry, not a treasure chest.

Maybe a miniature time capsule?

Nope, just a gross jar.

The top of the jar was secured with tape, but OP was like, "a spooky jar filled with a thick, dark liquid that I found buried in the Earth? I should open it!"

I'm sorry sir, but have you ever seen any scary movie ever? Are you actively trying to release a demon?

I figured it might be old money or drugs or even a time [capsule]. I pulled the tape off and opened it up, and floating at the top was a picture of my landlord, when she was much younger. My wife went to go get the landlord [because] she knew right away it was some brujeria*. The landlord came over and was just as surprised as we were. She said it was definitely the lady who lived here before, more than 15 years ago. Inside there was also strand of fabric, seemingly from a dress, and a piece of paper that had writing on it, more than likely a curse.

*Brujería is the Spanish word for witchcraft.

Put some gloves on, man!
Sticky, sticky memories.
Ew.

Well, apparently the landlady didn't take too kindly to being cursed or hexed or whatever, and she demanded all the items be burned immediately.

I would have read what it said but she insisted we burn it all immediately to 'lift the curse'. After which she poured holy water on the ashes and in the hole. Oh, the muck inside the jar had a sickly sweet smell and had the consistency of runny marmalade.

Anyone want BBQ?
Now this lady has seen a scary movie before.

Despite the creepy display, many commenters on the post are speculating that the curse was hardly a curse at all. Judging by the sweet smell and sticky texture of the substance in the jar, many are saying that this was likely a "Honey Pot Spell," and is usually used to "sweeten" the person the spell is aimed at.

Maybe the tenant was about to be late on rent and needed otherworldly powers to not get evicted?

Witch, please.

Oh and as for the whole "lighting the jar and its contents on fire" thing? According to this article entitled "Witchcraft for Beginners," that is a bad move.

One thing I do not recommend is throwing it into a fire, as is mentioned in some sources. This was in particular a method of cursing and curse-breaking; the Witch would throw the jar into the fire and when it burst it meant the curse was working (torturing the person it is cast on) or it meant the curse you were lifting has broken. This is not necessary, and not a safe option at all.

Whoops! Happy Halloween.

Here's Ryan Lochte trying to stay cool when a reporter asks about his 10 month suspension.

0

U.S. Olympic swimmer Ryan Lochte just learned what his punishment would be for his Rio gas station shenanigans—he's being benched for 10 months, and he really doesn't seem too pleased about it.

According to TMZ, the punishment was handed down by U.S. Olympics Committee (USOC), International Olympics Committee (IOC), and U.S. Swimming, although it sounds like some members of the USOC felt the punishment was a little too severe (it's harsher than the six month suspension Michael Phelps received for his two DUIs).

TMZ Sports caught up with Lochte at the airport and tried repeatedly to get him to talk about the punishment, whether or not he thought it was fair, and whether or not he thought he was a "sacrificial lamb." All he'd say was "no comment."

After getting "no comment" about a thousand times, the intrepid reporter switched tactics and asked about Lochte's gig on Dancing With the Stars, and Lochte admitted he was nervous, because he "can't dance."

Well, he's got some free time on his hands now, so maybe he'll get a chance to learn.

8 empowered AF women on what to do when some guy tells you to smile.

You could be walking down the street, buying gum at a gas station, or frickin' RUNNING FOR PRESIDENT and that doesn't stop some dudes from feeling like they could interrupt your life and tell you how you should feel. Men asking women to smile is one of the most pervasive types of street harassment and we're sick of it. Here's 8 famous badass women (and a bonus man) with some honest, powerful reactions to throw as you grit your teeth.

1. Hillary Clinton

2 & 3. Abbi Jacobson & Ilana Glazer

4. Samantha Bee

5. Rowan Blanchard

6. Whitney Way Thore

I just got home after a long day. Thirty minutes ago, I stopped in a gas station for some Tylenol and gum. As soon as I walked in, the clerk said, "Hey sweetheart." When I went to the counter to pay, he said, "You gotta give me a smile if you want this," and hid my gum away in his hand. "No thanks," I told him. "I'll just have the gum." He didn't ring up my gum and instead grumbled under his breath and lectured me about having a bad attitude. Interactions like this are beyond frustrating and belittling. I was not rude to this man, and I do not owe him a smile or outward display of happiness — I was exhausted and had a headache, but that doesn't even matter because I do not need to justify not smiling on demand for a stranger. Would he have held a male customer's items hostage until he smiled for him? I'm willing to bet everything I own that the answer is no.#stoptellingwomentosmile

Woman takes issue with Samsung after realizing her phone is automatically airbrushing her selfies.

Blogger Mel Wells was alarmed by her new Samsung phone when the front-facing camera used a default "beauty face" filter, so she posted the selfie to Instagram. She realized the default setting was airbrushing her pictures to remove her skin's imperfections, so she demonstrated just how dramatic the effect is when it's turned up all the way:

She claimed the default setting is "beauty level 8" (the highest), which definitely added a bunch of enhancement. Wells' freckles completely disappeared with the filter.

It's unclear if the default level is that high, but it can be adjusted or turned off. Wells makes a good point that people shouldn't feel the need to airbrush selfies, especially young women. However, everyone can now enjoy the fun prank of cranking the beauty level to 8 on the phones of their less tech-savvy loved ones.

People love this Yeezy model whose heel broke mid-catwalk.

Kanye West's Yeezy Season 4 show was a wet hot mess punctuated with this model breaking her bazillion dollar heel right on the runway at Roosevelt Island.

The poor thing attempted to keep it moving.

Kylie Jenner rushed to her defense...

But it came too late to spare the model from becoming the internet's new meme-able moment.

And she wasn't the only one struggling with heels at the show. Another model, Amina Blue, ended up ripping her heels off mid-show after they broke.

Such a shame. For the cost of shoes for an entire village of children, you'd think she'd at least be able to make it around the runway.
