Woman calls cops to complain about her drug dealer raising prices. The cops were ready.

It's natural to be annoyed when a business you frequent decides to gauge its prices. But usually you just have to suck it up and accept that price inflation is part of life—especially when that business you're frequenting is illegal.

But one woman in Australia, whose tremendous sense of entitlement is rivaled only by certain Americans, decided to take her complaints to the management. She called the police to complain about her drug dealer's"outrageous" price hike on weed.

Yes, this happened.

The police station responded by dragging her on Facebook. Their sassy post has since gone viral, because this woman's outrage is just so outrageous.

A call to police yesterday had to top the list of ‘unusual’.
A woman called police to complain about the price of marijuana in her community, reporting that her local drug dealer had asked for more money than the usual.
Completely offended, the woman demanded that police investigate this ‘outrageous’ price hike. When asked for further details, the woman hung up.
If you know a drug dealer who is ripping you off, give us a call, we’d love to help.

PSA: if you feel the urge to call the cops (or anyone) to complain about the prices of weed, smoke some weed until it passes.


Brie Larson perfectly calls out Rob Lowe for insensitive tweet about airport protesters.

ICYMI: Over the weekend, the angry baby in the White House signed an executive order that would ban travelers from entering the US from seven predominantly Muslim countries—except for countries where he does business.

People swarmed to airports across the country to protest the policy, which journalists, politicians and immigration experts alike have criticized for being inhumane, unconstitutional and dangerous.

Lots of celebrities have been speaking out, including Parks and Recreation star Rob Lowe. Only, it wasn't the immigrants stranded at airports or refugees escaping militaristic regimes that he was worried about—it was traveling grandmas mildly inconvenienced by protesters.

Lowe has Conservative-leaning politics, so this isn't a shock. But that doesn't make it okay. And apparently Brie Larson agrees. The actress, who takes shit from no man, responded with the perfect, sarcastic comeback:

BOOM.

When it comes to clap backs, less is more (just ask clap back queen J.K. Rowling). And Larson nailed it. Others have responded on Twitter to second that emotion:

If you're still worried about those grandmas and children, as a child I often had to drag my own suitcase for blocks during family vacations. I'm doing fine.

And Rob Lowe: if you're reading this, please stick to playing a doofus with perfect bone structure on TV. Off-screen that character is LITERALLY the worst.

I would still enjoy being roommates even if I weren't desperately reliant on you to split the rent.

When I'm on holiday in Florida, I miss you like the rain. Not at all.

Jon Stewart returns to television to tear into Donald Trump's executive orders.

Former Daily Show host and current retired person Jon Stewart joined Stephen Colbert onThe Late Show to roast President Trump like only he can. Stewart surprised the audience by showing up in a (very, very) long red tie and a dead animal fixed to his head, clearly a nod to our Commander-in-chief, and read Trump's next batch of hypothetical executive orders.

Donald Trump has already issued 20 executive orders in the first 10 days of his presidency, but Jon Stewart predicts that he isn't done yet. He theorizes that some of the next executive orders will include borrowing China's wall and putting it on the American/Mexican border as well as making the official language of United States "bullsh*t." Trump is fluent, after all.

Stewart ends the segment with a powerful message, remaining quasi-in character as he spoke directly into camera.

We have never faced this before: purposeful, vindictive chaos. But perhaps therein lies the saving grace of my, Donald J. Trump’s, presidency. No one action will be adequate. All actions will be necessary. And if we do not allow Donald Trump to exhaust our fight and somehow come through this presidency calamity-less, and constitutionally, partially intact, then I, Donald J. Trump, will have demonstrated the greatness of America — just not the way I thought I was gonna.

I try to avoid talking to coworkers about politics or any other topic.

Body positive blogger shares two pictures of herself to make a point about how deceiving the internet can be.

Body positive blogger and advocate, Milly Smith (@selfloveclubb), posted two pictures of herself on her Instagram account from the same time on the same day, to show people how deceiving the internet can be. In the first picture, she's wearing her tights pulled up; in the second, the waistband of those same tights is pulled down to reveal the belly hidden in the first picture. That's the only difference.

In the caption, the Milly Smith wrote,

Same girl, same day, same time.

Not a before and after.
Not a weight loss transformation.
Not a diet company promotion.

I am comfortable with my body in both. Neither is more or less worthy. Neither makes me more or less of a human being. Neither invites degrading comments and neither invites sleezy words.

We are so blinded to what a real unposed body looks like and blinded to what beauty is that people would find me less attractive within a 5 second pose switch! How insanely ridiculous is that!?

I love taking these, it helps my mind so much with body dysmorphia and helps me rationalise my negative thoughts.

Don't compare, just live for you.
There is no one on this planet who's like you and that's pretty damn amazing don't ya think.
The world doesn't need another copy, it needs you.

We are worthy, valid and powerful beyond measure

UK rappers call out Daily Mail for using their picture as a stock photo of a gang.

An article in the Daily Mailneeded a photo to illustrate a generic "gang." They ended up ripping a photo from a popular UK rap group instead, according to the Independent.

While Media Watch calls the Section Boyz a "UK rap band," they're more accurately described as a grime collective. First of all because "rap band" sounds lame. And also because grime is a different genre of music. But it's close enough.

The point is, the use of their image as a generic placeholder for any "gang" is offensive. In their tweet, Media Watch claims to have alerted the Daily Mail about the photo's origins in November.

If you aren't clear on the implications of using the Section Boyz' photo to illustrate gang activity that has nothing to do with them, here's how the internet responded:

The Daily Mail adjusted their article but, as the Independent notes, "the blurred image of the south London grime collective still shows on Google News for the search: 'Apex gang.'"

By the way, if you're curious, here's Drake performing with the Section Boyz and Skepta. You should expect some NSFW language.

President Donald Trump has been pretty busy in the White House, signing executive order after executive order. As he holds each one up for the photographers in the room to snap, the internet has been taking the blank-looking sheets of paper and filling them with all sorts of hilarious nonsense. Boom: the birth of the perfect meme.

Even though things are mostly bad, at least the internet is still funny. Here are some of the funniest memes riffing on Donald Trump's executive orders.

'Fifty Shades of Grey' star Jamie Dornan explains why Fabio is the reason he doesn't live in LA.

Most celebrities live in Los Angeles, but notFifty Shades of Greystar Jamie Dornan. The Northern Irish actor sat down with Jimmy Kimmel to explain why over a decade ago he decided that he could never plant his roots in La La Land, and it all has to do with romance novel cover model and Italian-American spokesperson Fabio. Yes, that Fabio.

"I signed up and I went in to train and the first person I see when I went up is your man, Fabio. He was there with all his hair and all that. He was wearing a very loose-fitting tank top. He was doing pull-ups and had a crowd around him," recalled Dornan of the time he joined a gym in LA about 12 years ago. "He was doing enough to form a crowd. I didn't join the crowd. I just sort of went, 'Well maybe L.A.'s not for me."

Hey, fair enough. Even so, Jamie Dornan still has to deal with Los Angeles on a semi-regular basis now that he is a big movie star, though he probably never returned to that Equinox.

By the way, we can totally see Fabio on the cover of an knock off version Fifty Shades of Grey.

Christian Grey wishes he had this hair.

World's coolest teacher has the best way of greeting students.

While many teachers start out the day with attendance or a hardy lecture to show students who's the boss, Charlotte, North Carolina fifth-grade teacher Barry White Jr. has a fun way to start the day off feeling connected.

Mr. White welcomes his students with a personalized handshake, with impressive choreography from dabbing to saluting.

"The most critical component is the relationship, the rapport you build with your students because sometimes it can go underrated or overlooked," Mr. White told NBC Charlotte,"Before I'm able to deliver a substantial amount of content to them, they have to invest in the teacher."

Mr. White got the idea when he noticed that Lebron James has special handshakes with his teammates, and team spirit is important in a class room.

One of Mr. White's students, Denise Hart, says, "That's how he hypes our day up."

Barack and Michelle Obama look so happy and relaxed in video from their beach vacation.

If Barack Obama's statement on his successor's Muslim ban seemed a little calmer than the rest of the opposition, it may be because he was wearing sandals when he made it.

Less than one month out of the Oval Office and Barack and Michelle are already chilling with backwards hats and shorts in the British Virgin Islands.

If you didn't know better, you'd think they're not haunted every night by the memory of Mitch McConnell's jowls.

According to TMZ, Obama's been vacationing for a little over a week, staying on Richard Branson's private island. But for anyone who wants Obama to stop soaking up sun and start fighting, there are already reports that he may "challenge Trump more forcefully in the coming months."

By the way, Obama's beachwear has been a thing before, making waves in 2010 when the president told reporters not to take photos of his ripped bod. That particular executive order was proven relatively useless.

Someone is missing from Blac Chyna's awkward family photo.

Blac Chyna posted this awkward family photo to Instagram on Tuesday.

Unconditional ❤

A photo posted by Blac Chyna (@blacchyna) on

As if the family-portrait-from-JC-Penny vibe wasn't strange enough, there appears to be one family member missing from the photo: a one Mr. Rob Kardashian.

As you can see, children Dream and King Cairo are present in the photo, while Rob has been mysteriously left out.

This has the internet wondering: Why would Blac Chyna leave Rob Kardashian out of the family photo? Are Rob and Chyna in another one of their classic fights? Is it just an innocent family photo that the internet is over-analyzing? Are Rob and Chyna actually fine and maybe we should just let them post whatever family photos they want?

(It's probably the latter, to be honest, but let's face it: Assuming that Rob missing from the family photo is part of some greater, dramatic scandal is way more fun.)

Johnny Depp's former managers reveal all the insane spending habits that are sending him to the poor house.

Johnny Depp is suing his former management company, the Management Group (TMG), with an accusation it defrauded him out of tens of millions of dollars through mismanagement of his finances. One claim is that TMG even took out loans in Depp's name without telling him. However, according to Page Six, TMG filed a countersuit against Depp on Tuesday, saying that it was his own out-of-control spending that led to his financial downfall.

Johnny Depp has been going through a costly divorce from Amber Heard, and divorces can be very expensive. However, there are a few other things that, according to TMG, might have contributed towards Depp's money woes. For example, he allegedly spends $30,000 a month on wine. WINE. Some of his other expenditures include:

—$18 million for a 150-foot yacht.

—$4 million on a record label that folded.

—$200,000 a month on private planes.

—$150,000 a month on round-the-clock security.

—$300,000 a month to maintain a staff of 40 people.

—$3 million to blast Hunter Thompson’s ashes out of a cannon. (!!!)

WOW. That is a hell of a lot of spending, even for a rich person.

TMG claims that Depp was definitely aware that he was spending too much money. In the lawsuit, they state,

Depp often responded by rebuking and cursing his business managers for issuing such warnings and advice, while increasing his extravagant lifestyle and spending, and demanding that his business managers find some way to pay for it all. Depp, and Depp alone, is fully responsible for any financial turmoil he finds himself in today. He has refused to live within his means, despite the best efforts of TMG and the repeated warnings about his financial condition from TMG and his other advisors.

TMG also alleges that Depp owes them $4.2 million and has filed a non-judicial foreclosure on Depp's home to try to get the money. Yikes. Time for another pirate movie?

Jade Smith, a 29-year-old mother of two from Bristol, UK, recently found herself gagging in horror at an unidentified biological object she discovered in a container of tomato juice purchased at an Aldi supermarket. She described opening the juice to The Bristol Post:

I opened it and it didn't feel right, so for some reason I decided to open the actual container. When I shook it, it felt like there was something hard in there. A quarter of the juice had gone, I poured the rest of the juice out and it was like really thin squash. When I got to the bottom I found this vile object. I looked at it and took it out because I could just not believe it. When I looked at it further it looked like a foetus, like it's got an eye and two little legs, it's just awful.

After trying and failing to get a decent response from Aldi's customer service, Smith took her complaint to Facebook. She wrote a post that quickly went viral, because everyone on the internet loves being grossed out. And of course, she included photos.

Smith's post begins:

So I purchased some Aldi tomato Juice Dec 2016.To enjoy a bloody Mary over the Christmas hols.But a bloody marry was not on the cards after opening the carton it felt heavier than usual don't know why I felt the need to cut the carton open but I'm sure glad I did.
Lurking at the bottom was this vile object
I immediately took it back to my local store filled in a customer complaints form and they sent it off I appreciate it was week before Xmas and this was a busy period.

Warning: These images are gross af.

Kill it!

It's like when the egg opens up in Alien.

As Smith's post explains, Aldi was less than helpful (especially considering they had sold her tomato juice with a xenomorph in it). It took her a long time to even get a response. When she finally did, both the explanation and the compensation were woefully inadequate.

However I was not contacted once.
I rang customers services to see what would happen next. THEY SAID THEY WILL SEND IT OFF TO QUALITY ASSRANCE TEAM THIS CAN TAKE 6 8 WEEKS . Still not really happy about the way they delt with this .
Today I received £10 gift voucher.
AND A letter basically saying it's mold.
Still confused as it was as solid item and large I must say I haven't experienced any thing like this before.
But I'm not entirely happy with the outcome?

Please can I have your opinions on this matter.?
I have held back from putting it on social media for this long as I wanted to get to the bottom of it. But a ten pounds voucher and a crap letter.?

"Sorry not sorry."

Will £10 and a snide letter cure the trauma suffered by Jade Smith? Will they undo the fact that she'll never be able to enjoy a Blood Mary again? The people demand justice!

Here's what Hillary Clinton has been up to since the election.

Hillary Clinton has emerged from the woods and is ready to get to work in 2017. Since Clinton is not elected to any sort of office, the former secretary of state, senator and first lady is will be taking a break from politics to work on a new book, scheduled to be released this fall. According to The Hollywood Reporter, the book will be a collection of personal essays focused around Clinton's 2016 presidential campaign and stunning loss to Donald Trump. The book is currently untitled and will be published by Simon & Schuster.

She's back!

Additionally, Clinton is planning to release a child-friendly illustrated version of her best-selling book, It Takes a Village.

Most controversially, the 2016 democratic nominee plans to return to the Harry Walker Agency, the speaker's bureau through which she was paid handsomely to make speeches prior to the election. In the past, Hillary Clinton's speeches have been criticized by not only her republican opponents but also by colleagues like Senator Bernie Sanders. Now that Clinton is no longer a public servant, these paid speeches are far less dubious, and she is expected to make a large sum of her income from them.

Much more than Trump will make after forgoing the President's salary.

Clinton is already being critiqued for choosing Simon & Schuster as the publisher for her latest book. In January, Bad Feminist author Roxane Gay pulled her new book from the publisher to protest the company giving Milo Yiannopoulos a six-figure book deal. Yiannopoulos, best known for leading the racist online tirade against actress Leslie Jones and comparing feminism to cancer, is an editor at Breitbart News and eminent Trump supporter whose unrelenting hate speech got him banned from Twitter in 2016.

Here's who fans think will die first on season seven of 'Game of Thrones.'

Game of Thronesis a series of bloodbaths separated by the occasional breast, so it's natural that with months to go until the season seven premiere, it's time to speculate which of your favorite characters will watch their entrails slither through their own hands first.

Spoilers for the entire Game of Thronesseries may follow.

Entertainment Weeklycites a poll by a sports betting website that asked 10,000 fans to guess who will die next.

14 percent said Theon Greyjoy.

Eight percent guessed Melisandre.

The next highest vote-getters were Davos Seaworth (no!), then Jorah Mormont.

Jorah Mormont has spent the entire series in a waking death anyway.

These are all beloved characters, but they're relatively minor. That's not usually how George R.R. Martin rolls, but as the series seems largely out of his hands at this point, perhaps Daenerys is safe for season seven.

Tyrion's death is too troubling to even consider.

Here's why Melania Trump may never move to the White House.

First Lady Melania Trump might be working from home like many a millennial. Us Weekly reports that FLOTUS just may never move down to the White House, granting her a safe 200 miles away from the Donald.

The activism of the #FreeMelania movement just might have worked after all.

It was established that Melania Trump and 10-year-old Barron will stay in New York to finish the school year. Even if Donald isn't impeached by June, they might not make the move, because Barron will continue having to go to school as the years unfold.

Cover photo.

"They will reevaluate toward the end of the school year if they will keep this arrangement or if Melania and Barron will move to Washington," a "family source" allegedly told Us, "They could go either way right now. They will ultimately do what's best for Barron."

While this is good news for Melania, it's bad news for taxpayers and people who like the arts.

Donald Trump told ABC News anchor David Muir that he doesn't really miss his wife and son that much. Asked if he was feeling lonely, he said, "No, because I end up working longer. And that's OK."

Hmmm. Is "working longer" a euphemism for cheating? Or is he actually taking his job seriously? Stay tuned to find out!

Trump's 'Muslim ban' separated a breastfeeding mom from her baby.

In the wake of President Donald Trump's travel ban, a breastfeeding mom and her 11-month-old daughter were separated at Dallas-Fort Worth airport on Saturday. The mother, a Sudanese woman who is a legal resident of the U.S., was reportedly physically kept apart from her husband and daughter Jude, while immigration lawyers tried to keep her from being deported, according to the Mirror.

The popular Facebook breastfeeding page, The Leaky Boob, posted a screenshot of two comments written by a lawyer named Andrew Strong, which read

I CANNOT BELIEVE THAT I AM HELPING DRAFT A RESTRAINING ORDER TO PREVENT AN 11 MONTH OLD CITIZEN FOR DEPORTATION.

The child is breastfeeding and is being denied access to her mother. Attorneys are being denied access to our client.

Fortunately, the mother and her family were reunited and released along with other detainees. In another screenshot posted by The Leaky Boob, Strong posted a picture, and wrote, "I just got to hug the mother, father, and 11 month old. Who is chopping onions in here?"

It's supposed to be a "travel ban," not a "taking care of your baby ban."
