Man begs internet to help save his marriage after wife freaks out at his Snorlax 'gift.'

0
0

A Singaporean man identified only as featherlit has appealed to online shoppers to save him from divorce after a well-intentioned gift to his wife blew up in his face. When he found out his wife was a fan of the Pokémon Snorlax (Who isn't???), he decided to buy her three Snorlax plushes to decorate their home.

But he neglected to carefully read the description of the dolls before ordering them, so it wasn't until they showed up that he realized he was buying LIFE-SIZED replicas, 1.5 meters tall each. When his wife came home to find their place overrun with giant stuffed Pokémon, she freaked.

They basically just got three new obese roommates who don't pay rent.
It's a great purchase if you want to be trapped in your apartment forever.

Desperate, featherlit posted on the marketplace website Carousell, pleading with strangers to buy the Snorlaxes from him before his wife served him with divorce papers. His ad is sad in the most hilarious way:

My wife told me she likes Snorlax cause they look cute and dumb....Thought I could give her a surprise and buy her a few plushies...

I bought 3 online and didnt care much about the price since Pokemon was so pop and it was only normal their plushies cost an arm and leg.... wtf... I didnt know I carted life sized SNORLAXES instead of the CUTE AND MINI ONES that would f***ing fit on our computer table/wall shelves....

Now she's f***ing pissed off with me and is threatening to move back to her mom's home....Please please..... guys... buy them away before she divorces me...

I will be glad to transport it to your place. for self pick ups, please drive a freaking LORRY/VAN....these f***ers are 1.5m in height each... PLEEAAASEEEEEEEE

Despite his steep asking price of 250 Singaporean dollars (roughly $180 USD), featherlit reports that his ad was a success.

***UPDATE***

Hey guys, snorlax has been sold...thanks everyone !

Ciara singing to her son in this Instagram video will almost make you forgive the internet.

Ciara posted a video on Instagram last night of her singing Outkast's "So fresh, so clean" with her 2-year-old son, Future Zahir. And it is sure to melt through the icy wall you've built around your heart in the past month.

“Ain’t nobody dope as me, I’m dressed so fresh so clean,” the 30-year-old singer croons in the adorable video, which serves as a reminder that not everything on the internet is horrible right now. SPOILER ALERT: Future joins in at the end.

I love singing this song with him:) So Clean Clean 🔈☺️🔈❤️

A video posted by Ciara (@ciara) on

Ciara, who married NFL player Russell Wilson over the summer, was formerly engaged to rapper Future, who is mini-Future's dad. And although THE future remains scarily uncertain, at least this video is a breath of fresh air in the midst of a frighteningly horrible news cycle. The internet giveth, and the internet taketh away.

Ken Bone's Reddit history includes comments about Jennifer Lawrence's butthole.

0
0

Ken Bone is the latest mania sweeping the nation—his red sweater, his glasses and mustache, his wholesomeness and kindly demeanor. So of course it was just a matter of time before things turned sour in the Bone Zone. On Thursday night, Bone did a Reddit AMA (Ask Me Anything) but instead of creating a new account on the site, he used the one he'd used in the past—which, according to screengrabs taken by the Daily Beast, turned out to be a big mistake.

It turns out that Bone, who uses the handle stangibson18 on Reddit, had posted some truly unsavory comments in the past about various topics. Take, for example, Jennifer Lawrence's hacked nude pictures—Bone commented "Maybe she should have been more careful with her pics, but the bad guys are still the ones who sought them out and looked at them. By which I mean guys like me. I saw her butt hole. I liked it."

KEN, NO!

Then there was the time he bragged about pulling a "felony insurance fraud."

Oh, Ken, NO!

But the worst is yet to come—Trayvon Martin. Yep, go ahead and take a seat, this one's a doozy. While he does call Martin's killer George Zimmerman a "big ole shit bird," he also opines that "from what I read about the case the shooting of Trayvon Martin was justified."

Oh, Ken. Ken, Ken, Ken.

Welp. It was fun for a while, right? Oh, Ken. You can't spell Bone without an "N" and an "O."

Watch Jimmy Fallon and Kevin Hart get the crap scared out of them in a haunted house.

Pillars of masculinity Jimmy Fallon and Kevin Hart videotaped themselves losing their sh*t while visiting notoriously scary New York City haunted house Blood Manor on Thursday. The segment ended up being funnier than Ride Along 2.

Wow, haunted houses are nothing more than actors in tattered clothing yelling incoherently in your face, aren't they?

Two years ago Hart and Fallon filmed themselves freaking out while riding a rollercoaster together. Who knows what scary endeavor this twosome will take on next year, especially since Fallon already had Trump on his show.


Donald Trump Jr. said women who 'can't handle' harassment 'don’t belong in the workforce.'

0

Like father, like son, I guess. In a 2013 appearance on The Opie and Anthony Show posted by BuzzFeed News, Donald Trump, Jr., a self-proclaimed "guy's guy," talked about how annoying it is to have women in the workplace doing all those bothersome things they do, like complaining about sexual harassment.

The conversation, originally about women in all-male golf clubs, veered into "women be like" territory, and pretty much every word out of Trump's mouth is lame.

Trump, Jr.: There's something still cool, for me, the old school, like, if you have a guy's place you have a guy's place. I have a hard time letting go of that maybe, I'm not going to have a choice, I'm kind of a guys' guy.

Jim Norton: But the problem is they complain and they f*ck it up. I don't like being around just men, I love when women are around, but they complain, "Oh, that's harassment," and that's why we hate them around, because they stop us from doing what we want to do, and they complain.

Trump, Jr.: In the club house, guys just want to be guys.

Anthony Cumia: It's usually just bullshit that you're talking, making jokes. It's the things you never expect, and then HR or someone will come up and go—

Trump, Jr.: Don't even start, I'm of that mindset, and I'll get in trouble, I've been on the show enough, I'm sure I'll get myself in trouble one of these days, but if you can't handle some of the basic stuff that's become a problem in the workforce today, you don't belong in the workforce. You should go, you know, maybe teach kindergarten.

Well, there you have it, ladies. Don't want to be subjected to sexual harassment at work? Go teach kindergarten. And don't worry, Donald Trump, Jr. thinks it's a "respectable position."

Judge goes NFL on out-of-control defendant by tackling him to the ground.

Michigan judge John McBain came down from his bench to help a court officer tackle an unruly defendant to the ground, showing him the true iron fist of justice.

The incident occurred back in December of 2015, but the video just recently starting circulating the internet.

According to ABC News, the defendant landed back in court when he violated a personal protection order. In the video, you can hear the judge say, "I told you, just leave her alone. She clearly has no interest in seeing you." The defendant responded, "I want her to tell me to leave her alone."

The commotion starts at 2:25.

At first the defendant was going to be let off with a warning, but as he and Judge McBain squabbled, the warning was changed to three days in county jail, followed by 45 days, then to 93, and finally to one year behind bars. As the court officer tried to handcuff the inmate, the defendant started to wriggle away, prompting badass Judge McBain to rip off his robe and throw down.

Move over, Judge Judy. Judge John McBain needs his own daytime court room show.

Study confirms sexist jokes make men think hating women is rad.

0
0

A study out of the University of Surrey found that sexist jokes can work to normalize sexism, taking them in rather than fully laughing them off.

Three new studies on the link between men's magazines (or "lads' mags," as they call them out in Surrey) and an acceptance of bias against women. It appears that by consuming sexist humor, the men feel lest hostile towards sexist behavior.

Sadly, there is no such thing as "just a joke," because according to the social psychologists, jokes make many bros feel okay with the realities behind them.

The lead author of the study, Professor Peter Hargerty (A man, so you can know it's legit, bros) said that the anti-woman humor found in men's magazines " can shape the expression of a prejudice that is generally considered unacceptable in an egalitarian society."

It took the researchers explicitly comparing the jokes made in men's magazines to quotes by convicted rapists to make dudes see why such literature could be bad.

As Presidential Candidate Donald Trump attempts to brush off his disgusting comments about women as jokes or locker room talk, men might be seeing it and thinking it's okay now.

Watch Donald Trump admit he's a 'sexual predator' while Ivanka just laughs.

0

Donald Trump's past has really come back to bite him in the ass. On Thursday, the New York Postposted a video clip of Trump on the Howard Stern show in 2006, shrugging and laughing when Stern's co-host Robin Quivers called him a sexual predator. His daughter Ivanka was sitting right by his side, and she laughed, too. Oh, sexual predators, so funny!

When Quivers says, "You are one!" to Trump, he just shrugs while mouthing, "That’s true" twice.

Trump clearly thought it was all well and fine in 2006, but 10 years later when he's running for president, it's not quite as funny. Not really something to brag about, is it?

Study says Netflix and chill will make your love last.

0

Good news for all the couples out there who want to cancel all their plans and stay home this weekend. A recent study says that binge-watching Netflix together may actually be helping your relationship. "Netflix and chill" is more than just a meme, my friends.

For the study, published in the Journal of Social and Personal Relationships, researchers asked 250 students in relationships to fill out questionnaires about their bond with their partner and their relationship habits. Upon analyzing the results, they found that watching TV shows and movies or reading books together can help couples feel more intimate and confident in their relationship. And it's not just because of all that extra cuddling.

It's been known for quite some time that having mutual friends can help partners bond, but the study's lead author, Sarah Gomillion, PhD, told Healththat if a couple doesn't share a social circle in their real lives, fictional characters might be a good substitute.

“Having a shared connection to the characters in a TV series or film might make couples feel like they share a social identity even if they lack mutual friends in the real world,” Gomillion said.

Binge-watching is often associated with loneliness, but Gomillion said that may not be the case. "People often say that activities like watching Netflix isolate us, but our research suggests that it can actually have important social benefits,” she told Health.

So now you and bae have an excuse to stay home from that birthday party neither of you wanted to go to. You need to sit in front of the TV all weekend so you can bond.

Women of color are showing Delta Airlines #WhatADoctorLooksLike on Twitter.

Dr. Tamika Cross was trying to help to a sick airplane passenger on Sunday when a Delta flight attendant dismissed her, incredulous that she, a young, black woman, could actually be a real doctor. Cross' Facebook post about the situation has since gone viral on Facebook, and now people (especially women) of color are showing their support for her by posting pictures of themselves on Twitter, using the hashtag #WhatADoctorLooksLike. Delta, pay attention.

Let this be a lesson to airlines and their employees everywhere.

Racist calls cops on local newscaster because of her 'suspicious looking truck.'

This is Homa Bash, a newscaster for local Texas news station NBC5.

let the new adventure begin!

A photo posted by Homa Bash (@homabash) on

Bash and her camera man C.J. Johnson were covering a news story near a school on Wednesday when someone called the cops saying they saw a "Hispanic-looking woman and black man with a suspicious white truck & camera." For the record, Homa is not Hispanic, she is Indian.

It is unclear if the person called the cops because they were freaked out by a truck full of TV equipment or seeing two people of color, but you can argue about that in the comments section of this post.

Eid Mubarak! 💃🏽💃🏽💃🏽

A photo posted by Homa Bash (@homabash) on

Homa's story prompted other people come forth and talk about other instances of racial discrimination where the cops were called for no reason.

Bash later updated her Twitter followers on the situation with this post. According to BuzzFeed News, the cop on the scene in quickly dismissed the call once she realized that these two people were literally just doing their jobs.

Casual racism. More at 11.


Trump supporters’ defenses of his ‘locker room talk’ are almost as gross as the comments themselves.

The Daily Show's Jordan Klepper headed to a Trump rally in Pennsylvania to find out what his red-hatted crew thought of the disgusting Access Hollywood tape that made many prominent Republicans jump ship.

The Pennsylvania parking lot turned into one huge locker room as the self-proclaimed Deplorables defended Trump's comments, and were even jealous of all the snatch he gets to snatch.

Once in the Basket of Deplorables, not even bragging about sexual assault could change your vote.

Especially when you're convinced that "one man's sexual assault is another man's flirtation."

That is a real quote from a real human, whose vote counts just as much as your's does.

This couple mysteriously disappeared, so who's still updating their Facebook?

0
0

Charlie Carver and Kala Brown went missing from their apartment in Anderson, South Carolina on August 31. Since then, none of their friends or family have heard from them, which makes it all the more disturbing that Carver's Facebook account continues to be updated with creepy memes, quotes, and even private messages.

The Daily Beast's Kelly Weill has written an in-depth exploration of this story—it's a must-read, but keep the lights on. Apparently, Carver, 32, and Brown, 30, disappeared without a trace, leaving their apartment unlocked. Their phones were dead. They didn't bring basic necessities like contact lenses and medication, but their dog was left alone in the apartment without food or water. Ominously, the dog's carrier was nowhere to be found.

Police are searching for the couple, but haven't found any physical clues. The only clues are coming from Carver's Facebook profile. On October 1, someone updated his timeline with life updates from the past months, claiming that he and his girlfriend were expecting a daughter on July 1, that they had bought a house on August 1, and that they were married on September 1. None of these are true.

In addition, whoever has access to Carver's account keeps posting ominous memes with messages like “Sometimes late at night I dig a hole in the backyard to keep the nosey neighbor’s guessing,” as well as news stories about the couple's disappearance. The most disturbing part is that the account has been sending twisted messages to Carver's friends. One read: "We [are] both ok. there is only one person that knows where we are … the person that means the most to me and kala she know where we are and we are coming that way for ever."

There is mounting evidence that Carver's ex-wife was involved. According to a friend, Brown had said the woman was stalking them, and had been lurking around the apartment complex. Police have not identified her as a suspect, nor have they made it clear if they have issued a search warrant to Facebook, so they can locate the device logged into Carver's account.

Head over to the Daily Beast to read Weill's full account of the story, including more of the unsettling messages on Carver's Facebook account. But lock the door first.

Scary songs for your Halloween playlist with absolutely no 'Monster Mash.'

0
0

Looking for some spooky Halloween music for your party but sick of the same old songs? "Thriller" is a great song, but you'll definitely hear it 50 times between now and Halloween whether you want to or not. And then there's "Monster Mash," which is not a great song, but always gets played anyway. Here are a few scary songs that could liven up any dead party. There's even a Spotify playlist at the end of the post for your listening pleasure terror.

1. Goblin - Suspiria Theme (1977)

The Italian band Goblin frequently worked with director Dario Argento, and their soundtrack to his movie Suspiria is almost as well known as the movie itself. [And for those of you that like prog rock, check out Cherry Five, which is just pre-Goblin Goblin—their album was produced by Eddy Offord who also produced Yes, among other bands.]

2. Siouxsie & the Banshees - Peek-A-Boo (1988)

"Peek-A-Boo" is the perfect Halloween song, even better than the Siouxsie & the Banshees song actually called "Halloween."

3. Echo & the Bunnymen - The Killing Moon (1984)

The composition of "The Killing Moon" was actually based David Bowie's "Space Oddity" played backwards.

4. Disasterpeace - Pool (from the It Follows soundtrack) (2015)

Fans of the Stranger Things' soundtrack might want to check out the music from It Follows; it's got a similar synth-y, cold wave vibe. This is the first score done by Disasterpeace (really just one dude named Rich Vreeland), who previously made video game soundtracks.

5. Lou Rawls - Season of the Witch (1969)

Donovan's "Season of the Witch" has been covered countless times, but this one by the legendary Lou Rawls, who Frank Sinatra described as having the "silkiest chops in the singing game," is definitely the best.

6. The Misfits - Hybrid Moments (1978)

Pretty much any song by New Jersey punk band the Misfits would be appropriate for a Halloween mix (for example, the one called "Halloween") but "Hybrid Moments" is special to me for its super-sweet, romantic overtones: "If you're gonna scream, scream with me / Moments like this never last." Ah, monster love.

7. Air - Dead Bodies (from The Virgin Suicides soundtrack) (2000)

One reason the music for The Virgin Suicides sounds so perfectly creepy could be that Jean-Benoit Dunckel, one member of the French duo Air, composed it while he was sick. In an interview with Dazed, he said, "When we were recording the drums and some of the main tracks for the film, I got really, really sick and had an awful fever and I was about 40 degrees for the whole week we were recording. I honestly feel like the fever went into the music."

8. Nick Cave & the Bad Seeds - Up Jumped the Devil (1988)

Australia's Nick Cave, the most perfect man ever to walk the earth (science fact), is known not just for his dark music but also for being a hellish interview subject. Like that time he told the Guardian"I have to spend hours talking to fucking idiots like you who have no kind of notion about anything." That went well.

9. Dr. Octagon - Aliens (2006)

Dr. Octagon is the alter ego of rapper Kool Keith, a man known for his weird lyrics and even weirder persona.

10. Broadcast - Mark of the Devil (from Berberian Sound Studio) (2012)

At the time of her sudden death in 2011, Broadcast's Trish Keenan was working (along with partner and bandmate James Cargill) on the soundtrack to Berberian Sound Studio, a movie about a sound engineer who goes crazy while making a low-budget horror movie.

11. Mastodon - Halloween (2014)

Fans of Game of Thrones might remember metal band Mastodon from the song "White Walker" they did for the show's fifth season. But what those fans might not know is that the band was also lucky enough to get killed on the show. Sometimes dreams do come true. Band member Brann Dailor told Pitchfork,

It was such an incredible experience to be on set as extras for our collective favorite show Game Of Thrones and to be wildlings murdered and then brought back to life by White Walkers was beyond amazing. I watched my best friends Brent and Bill, murdered right in front of me as I myself was stabbed in the stomach and had my throat slit multiple times, and I didn't mind at all.

12. Q Lazzarus - Goodbye Horses (1988)

While not technically a spooky song, "Goodbye Horses" has the distinction of being the song playing while Silence of the Lambs' Buffalo Bill made himself up all pretty and ladylike.

13. Uncle Acid & the Deadbeats - I'm Here To Kill You (2011)

Of the band's (late 60s/early 70s) sound, Uncle Acid's generally mysterious singer Kevin Starrs told Decibel, ​"The songs are influenced by everything I listen to. There was no plan to sound like anything in particular. I just wrote songs and they came out like this. Same with my singing. We couldn't find a singer, so I just started singing and it sounded weird as fuck so I went with it."

14. John Carpenter - Theme From The Fog (1980)

John Carpenter doesn't just direct horror movies, he creates the music for them, too. His synth soundtracks are iconic, and while the music from his movie Halloween is probably the most famous, all the soundtracks are pretty scary. He sometimes tours, so if that's something you're interested in, follow him on Twitter at @TheHorrorMaster for updates.

15. Dead Moon - Graveyard (1988)

Dead Moon was an awesome rock band from Portland that unfortunately broke up in 2006. Two of the members, married couple Fred and Toody Cole, went on to form Pierced Arrows, though, and they're still going strong.

16. Radiator Hospital - Ghost Story (2013)

Philadelphia's Radiator Hospital isn't frightening at all, but this song is sort of Halloween-themed, and I like it, so here you go.

17. The Black Angels - Haunting at 1300 McKinley

Austin's Black Angels say they got their name from the Velvet Underground's "The Black Angel's Death Song," but that doesn't stop me from hoping it was also secretly from the Saturday Night Live sketch where Molly Shannon's Mary Catherine Gallagher tries to join a Catholic school girl gang.

18. Gravediggaz - Nowhere To Run, Nowhere To Hide (1994)

Man, remember when hip hop horrorcore was a thing? Gravediggaz were one of the first, made up of Wu-tang Clan's RZA (as The RZArector), Anthony Ian Berkeley a.k.a. Too Poetic (as The Grym Reaper), producer Prince Paul (as The Undertaker) and Stetsasonic's Frukwan (as The Gatekeeper). Berkeley unfortunately died of cancer in 2001, but let's hope he's still rapping from the grave.

19. The Sonics - Strychnine (1965)

Garage rockers The Sonics from Tacoma, WA formed in 1960 and while they never got huge, they definitely influenced all sorts of musicians, including the Cramps, the Ramones, and the White Stripes.

20. Dead Kennedys - Halloween (1982)

Two songs on a Halloween mix titled "Halloween" is fine, right? Frontman Jello Biafra's lyrics are usually political in nature, but this one is just straight up about Halloween.

21. Judas Priest - The Ripper (1976)

Absolutely one of the best choices for karaoke, if you can pull it off, which you almost definitely can't.

22. The Birthday Party - Release the Bats (1981)

All right, the party's over, and now you've got to get everyone to leave. A Birthday Party song is almost guaranteed to clear a room, except perhaps for any lingering Nick Cave fans.

BONUS Norma Tanega - You're Dead (1966)

This song by California folk singer/songwriter Norma Tanega is not on Spotify, but it's a great addition to any Halloween mix, not just because of the lyrics, but because it's also played in the opening credits of the funniest horror/comedy (and easily one of the funniest comedies, period) movie of all time, What We Do In The Shadows.

Hillary told Ellen that Trump 'literally stalked' her during the debate.

Hillary Clinton stopped by Ellento compare dance moves with the Dancing Queen herself, Ellen DeGeneres. After shaking the shoulders, Hillary dived into the second presidential debate, and how she felt like she was being"stalked" by Trump.

She had a theory of why Trump felt the need to do that, considering she's too old for it to be one of his many sexually predatory followings.

“You could sense how much anger he had, so he was really trying to dominate and then literally stalk me around the stage. I would just feel this presence behind me, and you know, I thought, Whoa, this is really weird," she explained.

At a rally in Florida, Trump asserted he wasn't a stalker. “Believe me, the last space I would want to invade is her space,” he told the crowd, “Believe me.”

He'll likely want to invade her space when she's in the Oval Office.
