Watch American kids try to stomach Christmas dishes from around the world.

0
0

American kids generally feast on dinner rolls, mashed potatoes and candy canes on Christmas Day. Thanks to The Cut, however, a small group of children are broadening their horizons by trying dishes from around the world—whether they like it or not. The kids sampled typical Christmas dinners from New Zealand, the Dominican Republic (which some kid hilariously confuses with Democrat/Republican) and Japan.

Although most kids only eat buttered noodles and yogurt that comes in a tube, these brave kids weren't afraid to dig into shrimp with the head and legs attached. However, the hit of the tasting was without a doubt the KFC and cake, a surprisingly popular Christmas dinner in Japan. Yeah, it's a real thing.

This kid is all of us on Christmas.

Confused dad hilariously narrates teen daughter's makeup tutorial.

Makeup vlogger Meggs and Bacon knows the value of a complete breakfast and of narration to a good video. Megan recruited her dad to try and make sense of her daily face ritual, from the primer "made from the sweat of elves," the squishy egg that blends in the "makeup camouflage," and the "Pocahontas war paint."

Megan's dad, I assume.

Mr. Bacon goes Full Dad, scandalized by the makeup brand called NAKED and being a little bit—okay, very—passive aggressive about how much it costs to moisturize and volumize. Dad couldn't help but throw shade of Megan only uses two shades of her expensive palette, but hey, he tries his best to understand.

Mom has genius idea to include deployed husband in the family Christmas card.

The holidays can be rough for military families who have loved ones overseas. One mom in Colorado got a little creative to ensure that her deployed husband wasn't left out of the family holiday card.

According to Inside Edition, Ashley Sistrunk was inspired by a post she saw on Pinterest (gotta love Pinterest) to create a family Christmas card photo that included her, her four children, and her husband Sgt. Brandon Sistrunk, who is currently stationed in Iraq.

She had Brandon take a picture holding a sign from his base, while she held up the other end in her photo. Together the signs read "Merry Christmas." Then Ashley enlisted the help of a friend who photoshopped the two together to complete the family's holiday greeting.

They even somehow managed a kissing pose. I'm both impressed at how well they were able to line the photos up and overwhelmed by how adorable it is.

This one is more "us". Merry Christmas, from our family to yours! #deployment #deploymentchristmas #christmas

A photo posted by Ashley Sistrunk (@ashley_sistrunk) on

Ashley said she hoped her photos would inspire other military spouses and "let them know that they aren't alone in this."

If that wasn't enough awesome for you, here are some truly stellar behind-the-scenes pics of Sgt. Brandon posing for the kissy photos. He's a natural.

Brandon will miss the holidays, but he's set to come home in January. Here's hoping he also gets photoshopped into Christmas morning around the tree.

Man blasts bosses by emailing his exit interview to his entire company.

Michael Stuban worked for the Pennsylvania Turnpike Commission for 35 years before retiring. For his final responsibility, he made a frank assessment of his bosses and colleagues in an exit questionnaire, but instead of sending it to Human Resources, he sent it out in a company-wide email.

In his "reply-all" moment, Stuben aired his dirty laundry from working ten years as a tollbooth operator, then twenty-five as middle management, to 2,000 fellow employees.

When asked what the most difficult part of his job was, Stuben said, "the phoneyness."

"That's Bull Shit."

The phoneyness. Giving us classes where we are being told we are not political. That's Butt Shit. Jobs/Promotions are filled by the politicians, it's who you know, not what you know. Positions created for people who are not qualified. Hiring people off the street when we have qualified [personnel] in our ranks.

He goes on to scold the top brass for being "out of touch with the average employees” and “only looking out for themselves.”

He said upper management, "doesn't care or appreciate us. The feeling I get is: just do what we tell you or find another job."

Ironically, when The Washington Post reached out to Sean Logan, chairman of the Turnpike Commission, for comment, he said to Stuben, it “couldn't be to [sic] bad of a place considering you stayed for 35 years. Best of luck in your retirement.”

Ew. Typical boss ignoring all negative feedback and turning it back around.

At least his colleagues got that sweet relief of having their voice be heard without having to say it themselves. They're probably all toasting his name right now and will have really great sex tonight.

Johnny Depp's ex-wife Amber Heard says 'You are not alone' in a powerful essay on domestic violence.

0

The December issue of Porter magazine features an essay about domestic abuse written by Johnny Depp's ex-wife Amber Heard. Heard, who claims she was abused by Depp, wants to let other people who've been abused know that they don't have to keep quiet about it.

Her essay begins,

You are not alone. You may have suffered alone behind closed doors, but you are not alone. You need to know that. I want to remind you of your strength, a strength that has been multiplied by the number of women who stand silently behind you—a truth that allowed me to break down the doors I once found myself behind.

Let's start with the truth—the cold, hard truth. When a woman comes forward to speak out about injustice or her suffering, instead of aid, respect and support, she will be met with hostility, skepticism and shame. Her motives will be questioned and her truth ignored.

Heard, who filed for divorce from Depp in May, talks about her situation without explicitly naming names, writing simply, "I was raised to be independent and self-reliant. I was never given nor wanted the burden of dependency. I never felt like anyone would or could rescue me, so naturally I resented the label of ‘victim.'"

She ends by reassuring people that they survivors are everywhere, writing, "As I write this today, I can promise every woman who is suffering in silence, you are not alone. You may not see us, but we are there."

Santa is real and apparently he can deadlift 650 pounds.

If you're going to leave Santa cookies and milk this year, you better make it Muscle Milk.

An Instagram account belonging to "Big Bad Santa" shows Kris Kringle doing something you have never seen him do before— work out. Well, how else do you think he got strong enough to carry all those presents around?

Damn, Santa! That makes "you better watch out, you better not cry" sound more like a warning. Could you imagine going to the mall and sitting on this guy's lap? Those aren't thighs, they are boulders!

According to his Facebook page, Big Bad Santa's civilian name is actually Albie Mushaney, and he is a married father of five who documents his quest to conquering type 2 diabetes on social media. So Mushaney may not be the big man himself, but he certainly is a big man. Here is Big Bad Santa dead lifting 650 pounds using nothing but his giant tattooed arms and some Christmas magic.

You can hear the person taking the video exclaim, "looks like Santa’s gonna be pulling his own sleigh this year," before Mushaney lets out a hearty "Ho Ho Ho!"

Seriously, the man could pull a sleigh if he wanted to. Check out this video of Big Bad Santa lifting the back of a pickup truck full of kegs. Yeah, Rudolph and the team could probably afford to take this year off.

While everyone else binges on Christmas cookies and pie, just think that Santa is out there somewhere lifting weights. Maybe you should ask him for a gym membership this year.

Mrs. Claus is one lucky lady.


The internet helps a grieving woman find a sweet picture of her and her boyfriend who died in the Oakland fire.

Saya Tomioka's boyfriend Griffin Madden was one of the 36 people who died tragically in the Oakland warehouse fire on December 2. Tomioka's grieving led her to search for a photo of she and Madden on a trip to New York City that she knew existed somewhere, although she'd never had it in her possession. And with the help of social media and a little bit of luck, Tomioka found the picture she so badly wanted.

In a post on Facebook, Tomioka wrote,

Maybe some facebook miracle could happen....please share
This morning I remembered the first time I went to Times Square, June 16 of 2015. Griffin and I just finished watching The Book of Mormon on Broadway. I remember tears swelling my eyes because the city was so beautiful and amidst all the lights, I got to look at the brightest light of all, my sweetie. I cried, and we kissed. Some random photographer captured this very moment, this very kiss.... I never got his name, and he just simply showed us the single beautiful snap shot that he was able to capture.

I've always longed to find this particular photograph and thank the photographer.... Friends, possibly with your help, I can be reunited with this photograph, this treasured memory that I'll always keep in my heart. I don't even know if it's possible, but please share this status if you think it is. I need some light right now.... I need a reminder of the brightest light of all---love. Thank you for those sending us love and prayers, I hear you and I feel you. Our community mourns. I love you, gg, my sweetie chan.

Her post was shared more than 430 times, and eventually found it's way to Arken Avan, the stranger who'd taken the picture of the happy couple in June 2015 in Times Square, who gladly posted the picture on Tomioka's Facebook wall.

Speaking to ​ABC News, Avan said,


I actually remembered their faces because they really looked so adorable. I photograph couples, I love couples. I photograph everything romantic, everything about love. I saw her lipstick on his cheek and she was having a pretzel that time when I photographed them.​

Tomioka was overjoyed to finally be able to view the memory she treasured, a moment in time captured by a stranger.

In part of a heartbreaking post on Facebook, Tomioka wrote, "I have been hoping for a miracle, a glimpse of your light back into my life. With the infinite help from our families, friends, and strangers, I finally found you."

Walmart, Amazon remove wildly offensive mug from their websites because they noticed it was there.

A ludicrously inappropriate"Got Retard?" mug appeared on both Walmart.com and Amazon, before parents of children with Down syndrome saw it and demanded its removal.

Dear Walmart - I'd like to kindly ask that you remove this product from your online store. As a parent of a child with...

Posted by Noah's Dad - Down Syndrome Awareness on Monday, December 12, 2016

Teresa Holiday, herself a mother to a child with Down syndrome, told FOX40 that "it might be a stupid mug to some people, but to us in the community, it's not. It strikes a nerve. It hurts."

Walmart and Amazon have both removed the product from their sites. Walmart explained that they themselves do not sell the mug, but the listing came from a third-party retailer allowed to post its own goods on their website.

Said Walmart in a statement:

This item was offered through a Marketplace seller. It clearly violated our prohibited items policy and once it was brought to our attention, we quickly removed it from the Marketplace. We think it’s unacceptable a seller put it on the site in the first place.

The spokesperson also pointed to the fact that 24 million products live in their online marketplace. Whatever automated vetting procedure exists clearly failed.

Why this mug, actually sold by JM Holdings LLC—who also produce a "Got Hitler?" mug, even exists at all, is clearly the ultimate question here.

People are showing off their 'granny panties' in support of a shamed journalist.

Sam Armytage is an accomplished Australian news anchor who, according to this horrified article by the Daily Mail AU, likes to spend her free time wearing "grannie panties."

WTF? Are they trying to say the only people who can wear underwear that covers your butt are women who have children who have children? Because men wear underwear that covers their butt every freaking day.

People were quick to be shocked by what constitutes fodder for an entire article.

And eventually, women starting showing support, not just for Armytage, but for the granny panties themselves—much like those granny panties have supported them.

It began with a call to expose the underwear with the hashtag #PutOutYourGrannyPanties.

But the most important display of granny panties wearing is here:

If SJP can rock full-coverage on the runway, then anyone can wear them anywhere.

These stories of NSFW office party shenanigans will make you glad that your work is boring.

0

Office parties are the ultimate opportunity to see the people you see every day in a new light—for better or for worse. Redditors are sharing the Human Resources violations they had the fortune/misfortune of witnessing in their place of work.

http://www.someecards.com/office-christmas-party-cards/heres-to-fooling-your-company-into-thinking-youre-mature-enough-to-handle-an-open-bar

These stories are not safe for work, in case you work at one of these places.

1. Searchingtheblue saw her boss's undress rehearsal.

We bought our boss Sexy Santa lingerie as a gag gift. She tried it on in front of us and proceeded to do a strip tease dance all the while screaming out how her husband was going to love this. She's 54.

I worked at a call centre. I am a female, was 16 years old at the time; so the answer was/still is , no I did not particularly enjoy it.

2. Tsundoku_all's assistant gives good assistance.

My assistant gave a blowjob to one of my bosses at a bus stop while her boyfriend smoked cigars with our coworkers.

3. Stralerman's coworker got down and dusty.

Work party. one guy took a shit in the toilet followed by grabbing the vacuum cleaner and sucking it all up.

4. *record scratch* *freeze frame* You're probably wondering how uch ended up in this situation.

GM (guy) and controller (girl) were grinding on the dance floor. GM's wife confronts them on the dance floor in front of everyone, "Is this the whore you've been f*cking?" Needle off the record moment. The controller's husband had been suspicious for a while and considered this confirmation. Both couples divorced shortly after. GM and controller are now married.

5. Jared runintheforest2 got to know his boss a bit too well.

First Christmas party at a tech startup.

Go to the bathroom towards the end of the night. Realize mid-piss that the sounds coming from the stall next mine are the CTO and his wife going at it. Step out of the stall and the CEO and some sales guys are doing lines. CEO sees me and shouts, "hey, it's Jared!!" My name isn't Jared.

He called me Jared for about 6mos after that until I pulled him aside and corrected him one day.

Fun times.

6. Losttangent's company sure gets ducked up.

Didn't witness this one but heard that this happened just a few months before I was hired. We had a wine tasting for the managers with just some cheese, minor hors d'ouvres, etc. One particular manager got completely sloshed on wine and got super flirty with another manager from a different department who was significantly younger and good looking.

At some point, this young lady put some scented lotion on her hands. Smelling this, the drunk manager came over to her and pulled his dick out and asked her to put some lotion on there too. Right in the middle of the room and tasting.

I heard he was gone instantly. He was recently found out to currently be a tour guide on a duckboat and a bad one at that.

7. WillConway2016's office has/had big windows.

Coworker threw his desk chair out of a 4 story window after having a few too many.

8.It must have been the #2 in Kul_kids's office.

Used to work for a big bank. We had a little potluck for Christmas, and long story short about 2 hours later, someone shit in the bathroom and smeared it literally, and I mean literally, all over the bathroom stalls. The wall, the stall door handle, the toilet sensor; fucking everywhere. It looked like a XXL Hershey bar stepped on an IED.

We never did quite catch the elusive poop handle bandit. Legend says he's still out there, ravaging the latrines of financial institutions to this day.

9. B8le's office is why the Footloose town banned music.

Karaoke - Started with 2 assistants, both women, doing a ballad together.

In rapid succession, on the 'stage', and with plenty of drinks between the following things happened:

Those two women sing a few songs while clutching each other and giggling the entire time.

Some less than wholesome dancing together to a George Michael song.

Remaining on the 'stage' one of them sits in a rolling chair while the other serenades/gives a lapdance to her to Santa Baby.

At this point another woman in the office decides it's best to throw some cold water on this party by cutting off the Karaoke and play a Christmas music CD, first song is All I Want for Christmas is You.

The two women turn this into what seems like the perfect song to sexy slowdance to, much caressing and grinding happening.

They are finally broken up once they start making out and light groping eachother while trying to hide behind a Santa hat that one of them is holding up covering their faces.

10. Sweoj had great times at the Dundies.

Worked in a warehouse for a while, we had regular 'awards nights' where we'd all get fucked up and hand out stupid awards like driver of the year for the person who had the worst forklift accident, or who crashed a work car. Other things of note:

  1. Doing lines with the boss off his desk every party
  2. Married co-workers banging in the car park
  3. The mentally handicapped (and very drunk) cleaner getting wrapped in packing tape by 3 guys
  4. Having forklift races in the isles of the warehouse, forklifts being driven by guys who are plastered
  5. Using forklifts to lift each other to the roof of the warehouse

I don't miss my old job but damn I miss the parties

11. It's business as usual for jodics.

All 30 of us ended up on top of a mountain at sunrise, naked and drunk. We then went for breakfast and back to work.

12. Psychonaughty has a beautiful story for the kids.

I was the one who started giving him head in the middle of the party. It’s okay though, we’re still together to this day.

13. You can't complain to HR when the orgy's with HR, as JohnWayne84 knows.

Christmas party. Married HR woman had an orgy with 5 of the warehouse workers. All still work there, HR woman is still married.

13. Wdh662's story of cops gone wild shows that male strippers aren't too far off.

When I was a teenager I volunteered to DD at a fancy dinner for the local RCMP detachment (police). Had some big wigs from provincial headquarters and such. I think it was like the stations 50th anniversary or something similar.

Jesus. Christ.

One cop got on stage with the band and started singing. Was really good actually.

One female cop dancing on a table broke it and went face first into the floor. Kept on partying once the blood stopped.

There was a young new cop that year. Ripped good looking guy. So this guy was getting panties thrown at him left right and center. Driving him and his current date home they fucked in the back seat. He slipped me 20 dollars and told me I saw nothing. (I saw everything).

Next trip the cop and his wife were drunk but nothing outrageous. But as they were getting out he casually tossed what ended up being a pair of thong panties into the front seat and saying something I didn't quite hear. I assume they were from the previous couple.

And my favorite was driving one of the higher ranking pice officers in my province back to his hotel and he just fell over as I rounded a curve. Like a tree. Unconscious. Had to get hotel staff to help drag him out.

Now imagine all this with mounties dressed in their red surge. And these are just the things I saw. My buddies who were DD'ing have similar tales.

Hard to take a cop seriously when he's giving you a ticket for speeding in a car you watched him finger a girls ass in.


Blac Chyna bought Rob Kardashian an expensive new toy for no apparent reason.

Blac Chyna surprised fiancé Rob Kardashian with an extravagant gift on Monday for no reason other than they are really rich and can do that sort of thing. Kardashian was visibly thrilled to find that his partner had bought him a Range Rover, the official car of rich people, complete with a giant bow just like in those Christmas car commercials.

Got bae a Range 😍❤️ @robkardashian

A video posted by Blac Chyna (@blacchyna) on

Unless this is an early Christmas gift or a "thank you for being my baby's daddy" gift, the generous gesture really doesn't seem to be attached to an occasion. Must be nice to be young and in love and have a couple hundred thousand dollars laying around (although I'm still not totally clear on what Blac Chyna's actual job is).

Aw! Rob must have finally stopped "texting b*tches."

The Kardashians love giving each other cars almost as much as they love appropriating black culture and promoting "Flat Tummy Tea." According to Entertainment Tonight, Kylie and Tyga (Rob's sister and Chyna's ex, respectively) have traded cars several times. Kendall Jenner was gifted a car from Kris Jenner for her 21st birthday. Even Chyna's birthday present from Rob this year was a purple Lamborghini. IT'S TOO MANY CARS, GUYS.

At least the Range Rover is a little more practical for carting around baby Dream. Hopefully that new car also came with a fancy new car seat.

Kanye gave Trump an "artsy" book of nudes, because of course he did.

The internet has been awash with speculation over President-elect Donald Trump's meeting with Kanye West on Tuesday. Was Trump appointing Kanye to his Cabinet? Alas, no. According to TMZ, the two men spent about 15 minutes together, during which they "talked about life." (In Bizarro World, this makes complete sense.)

TMZ had reported earlier that it was West who requested the meeting, which Trump's wife daughter Ivanka Trump also attended. They allegedly did not discuss anything along the lines of West performing at Trump's inauguration in January, although West did publicly say in November that he would have voted for Trump, had he voted at all. Of course, that was days before West suffered some sort of mental breakdown, but apparently his approval of Trump can't be attributed to that.

Before leaving, West supposedly presented Trump with, according to TMZ, an "artsy book that includes nude pics," which they further describe as, "compilation of photos, including people wearing hoodies, a display of various tattoos and, yes, some nudes."

Well, Trump can cross "book of artsy nudes" off his Amazon wishlist now.

This is Grace, AKA "Amazing Grace."

"How sweet the sound."

This year, Grace made her dude promise not to spend a lot on Christmas gifts, so when she got home from vacation, she was shocked to see a whole surprise set up for her.

Ok, first, she knew she was in for something great when she came home to a note like this.

To: Sweet Pea, From: Sugar Plum

I know... I know... You said if we date not to spend a lot... Welp, it is Christmas season! Happy early Christmas sweet pea, I hope you enjoy it! - Sugar Plum

Then she found these strung lights and lineup of gifts waiting for her in her room.

He kinda lucked out with those red walls

Tons of fuzzy socks, a blanket, and plenty of snacks.

Snacks on snacks on snacks.

"These socks are for when your feet are cold, and I'm not around for you to put them under me."

Ok, we give up

Jeeeee-sus. Leave a little romance for the rest of us, dude.

Grace's little tweet of appreciation​ caught fire with thousands of re-tweets, prompting tons of other girls salivating for an incredibly thoughtful Christmas surprise, too.

Alright, guys, the bar has been set at socks. You may commence with the thoughtfulness.
