"This mommy was so sweet, and her story touched my heart," wrote photographer Jennifer McMahon, who shared some of the photos on her Facebook page.
"Her husband is thousands of miles away serving our country. He is missing his beautiful wife's pregnancy, and will be missing the birth of his baby."
But thanks to McMahon, the "gorgeous mama to be" didn't have to star in all the photos by herself. Beautifully, McMahon was able to fulfill her client's request to "incorporate [her husband] into some of the photos," according to BuzzFeed News.
Her husband, Brandon, took a photo, and McMahon used it for the beautiful mash-up below:
This mommy was so sweet, and her story touched my heart. Her husband is thousands of miles away serving our country. He...
I'm so sorry your husband can't be there for the birth of your child. Thank you to him and for the service he is providing our country with!! I am pregnant now, and I can't image what you are going through without your husband by your side. I'm glad that two of you were able to have this beautiful moment captured through picture!
Another racist tirade has gone viral and we are not even surprised, just disappointed, America. Today's internet-famous bigot we know only as "Mike," a white guy in a wheelchair who went off on a fellow traveler at the airport who committed the unthinkable act of talking to his mom in Spanish.
The subject of the attack was Hector Torres, a 44-year-old father-of-four from Orlando, pictured here with his mom, who is Puerto Rican and lives in Florida:
Torres was waiting to board a flight to Los Angeles at the Reno-Tahoe Airport in Nevada last Thursday while speaking on the phone in Spanish with his mom, he told Buzzfeed. Then he heard someone behind him say, "Can you believe this shit?"
"I'm chatting away with my mom, quietly, not trying to have all kinds of volume at the airport," said Torres. "And I'm like, I hope it wasn't directed at me."
Unfortunately, it was.
Torres said that Mike, who was in a wheelchair, started hurling racist insults at Torres and telling him to "learn how to fucking speak English." And, of course, the president's name came up. According to Torres, the man said: "Trump is going to fix this. He doesn't understand this is Trump's America now."
Torres, who speaks English as well as Spanish, got off the phone with his mom so he could film the guy's continuing verbal assault. He told Buzzfeed he believed the guy was a veteran, so instead of getting angry, he tried to reason with him and explained that he has relatives who also served in the military.
"So my family that's all military, fought just like you did, lost limbs," Torres says in the video, with heroic levels of compassion. "I feel really sad for you."
"Mike" shows no remorse and continues to spew hate, while simultaneously chewing and drinking a soda. The American way.
You can watch the infuriating video here:
According to Buzzfeed, security showed up shortly after the video was filmed and Torres showed them the video, including the part where the guy tries to hit him with his crutches.
The officers offered to arrest the man, but Torres decided not to press charges. "Mike" and his wife were reportedly booked on the same flight as Torres, but ultimately "chose not to fly," according to airport officials. Maybe they realized, if you hate people who are different from you, traveling is a bad idea.
Hats off to Hector Torres. Not only did he handle this situation with more compassion, patience and grace than most of us would have, but he was talking on the phone with his mom. And it wasn't even Mother's Day.
Someone give this guy a medal. Or at least some frequent flyer points.
Sometimes we all need a little help getting our crush's attention (Spotify playlists, anyone?). Twitter user Angeline Tu Tran recently helped her dad score a date, simply by taking his picture.
18-year-old Tran grew up in California, but was born in Vietnam. Her father, who is retired, decided to move back to Vietnam two years ago. When Tran graduated from high school last year, she decided to join him for a year before starting school.
"I spontaneously decided to take a gap year because I wanted to see some of the world before I saw another Scantron," Tran told The Huffington Post. "And it just so happened that my dad was in a place I've always wanted to get to know better."
Tran and her dad have been traveling around Vietnam on their mopeds for the last five months. On May 11, they were on a hike in the mountains near the city of Da Lat when Tran noticed her dad doing something a little odd.
"During our hike, my dad kept stopping abruptly to pick some leaves, and when I questioned him, he said it was because they looked like hearts," Tran recalled to The Huffington Post.
When they got back to their campsite, Tran noticed her dad drawing the name "Huyen" in the sand and decorating it with the leaves. Then, her dad asked her to take a photo of him.
The teen agreed, but not before pressing her father about who the mysterious Huyen was.
"He said something along the lines of, 'Just a lady I'm interested in.'"
When pressed further, Tran's dad revealed that he and Huyen had known each other for about a year, and while there had been signs of interest from both parties, neither of them had made a move yet.
Yes, her dad wanted to send the photos to his crush. (Awww!) Tran posted the adorable pics to Twitter, thinking that friends who knew her dad would get a kick out of it.
my dad has a crush on this lady so when we went hiking he wrote her name in the sand and sent these to her 😭😭😭💘pic.twitter.com/J8qWvMwLUa
Despite years in the public eye, and now being one of the highest-profile women in the world, Melania Trump, and her marriage to Donald, remains a mystery.
The two are prone to PDA, Public Displays of Animosity.
With the First Lady MIA from the Beltway, living in New York instead of Washington, people often assume that she is aloof and not involved in politics, but a recent report in Politico says that Melania is indeed a part of the operation.
If you wonder what Donald and Melania could possibly have in common—other than love of money—the answer is apparently an obsession with cable news.
Like the president, Melania is an "avid consumer of cable news." Politico reports that Melania is Donald's "media watchdog," scouring cable news and keeping track of what reports make him look bad.
"As his administration has been consumed by infighting and outside investigations, she's grown increasingly vocal about the perceived shortcomings of staff surrounding the president," Politico writes.
According to Melania's friend, modeling agent Paolo Zampolli, the very dude who introduced the lovely couple, “Melania loves the president unconditionally, definitely, she really cares about the president, she feels a kind of protection."
If you replace "president" with "her image," the sentence might seem more familiar.
Nothing divides the internet quite like an optical illusion. We're all still reeling from that damn dress that drove families apart back in 2015 because no one could decide if it was blue and black or white and gold (it was obviously blue and black, thankyouverymuch).
Well, prepare for another controversy. This photo of the aftermath of an outdoor picnic was shared in a German Facebook group and it's going viral. Because nobody can figure out if the backdrop is a river. Or a wall.
At first it seems like it's obviously a river, but then you look closer and you're like, DEFINITELY A WALL. Has to be a wall.
Oh Tomi Lahren, you snowflake-hating snowflake. After more than a hundred students walked out on Vice President Mike Pence's commencement speech at Notre Dame over the weekend, conservative TV-person Tomi Lahren took to Twitter yesterday to scold these "snowflakes" for standing up for what they believe in. It did not go well for her.
Snowflakes think this kind of crap will fly in the real world? Good luck holding a job, kids! https://t.co/O19otIrW77
"Snowflakes think this kind of crap will fly in the real world? Good luck holding a job, kids!" she wrote.
Did TomiLahren just lecture millennials about "holding a job"??? It's almost as if she forgot she is now jobless after getting fired from conservative show TheBlaze, for standing up for what she believed in.
@TomiLahren Didn't you say you "stand in your truth?" That is exactly what those kids are doing too so girl, please. Life comes at you fast. 👏🏻🔥pic.twitter.com/k7fGi78qFf
@TomiLahren Seems like youre the snowflake. Can't handle a peaceful protest tht DOESNT follow your narrative Freedom of speech goes both ways, hypocrite
Tomi Lahren, now that you have all this free time, it might be a good idea to take a long, hard look at the unemployed millennial snowflake in the mirror.
Welcome to another day in 2017. A passenger wearing a "Make America Great Again" hat was kicked off an airplane in Shanghai on Sunday, for refusing to allow anyone to sit in the seats next to him and other "belligerent" behavior, the Washington Post reports.
In a video of the incident, a crowd of people in the airport are heard chanting "lock him up! lock him up!" after the man in the Trump hat finally exited the plane.
You can watch the video here:
The incident was filmed by fellow passenger Alexis Zimmerman, who was flying back from Shanghai back to Newark. She told the Washington Post that the man in the Trump hat (red flag #1) had refused to let anyone sit beside him (red flag #2)."He wanted to sit in the whole row by himself," she said. And in the video, you can see he put his feet up on the seats (red flag red flag red flag!!!!).
Another passenger, Clark Gredoña, shared details about the incident on Facebook:
Already delayed an hour coming out of Shanghai to EWR when an older man in my row with a "'Make America Great Again" hat...
"He insists that, because he couldn't get an upgrade, he's entitled to all three seats next to him even though they're assigned to somebody else," he wrote. "Everybody is standing, calling him an asshole, and urging him to leave."
Gredoña said that the MAGA hat guy "finally relented" to exiting the plane, after first "berating some female passengers and crew, calling one passenger 'Hillary' (lol) and 'lesbian.'"
In brighter news, he wrote: "props to the United 87 crew for handling it professionally." Well that's nice, for a change.
According to a statement from United, the passenger became "increasingly disruptive when asked to deplane," and "local law enforcement was called to assist."
According to Gredoña, the flight was seven hours late as a result of the incident. Is this what Trump supporters meant by making America "great"?
Twenty-two people were killed and 59 were injured in a suicide bombing after an Ariana Grande concert in Manchester, England on Monday. According to theBBC, a 23-year-old man from South Manchester has been arrested in connection with the attack.
Native Brit and Late Late Show host James Corden recorded a message to the "tight-knit group of people" from Manchester who were closely affected by the heartless attack against civilians, many of whom were only children.
"When I think of Manchester, of the place that I know, I think of the spirit of the people there and I'm telling you, a more tight-knit group of people, you will be hard-pressed to find," said Corden. "Strong, proud, caring people with community at its core. And if it was even possible, the spirit of the people of Manchester will grow even stronger this evening."
James Corden went on to acknowledge all those affected by the bombings, including security, Grande and her team, and the families of the victims.
broken. from the bottom of my heart, i am so so sorry. i don't have words.
In the wake of the horrible tragedy at Ariana Grande's concert in Manchester last night, the singer tweeted her condolences. "Broken," she wrote, "from the bottom of my heart, i am so so sorry. i don't have words."
broken. from the bottom of my heart, i am so so sorry. i don't have words.
TMZ reported that Grande was "in hysterics" after learning about the bomb that went off at the end of her show. As of now, at least 22 people are dead and 59 are injured, according to The Independent.
TMZ also reported that Grande has suspended her European tour indefinitely, and definitely will not be performing in London on Thursday. Grande is, understandably, so upset that she's not currently in a state to perform at all. There's also a concern about security.
Scotter Braun, Grande's manager, tweeted a statement about the attack, reading, in part, "We mourn the lives of children and loved ones taken by this cowardly act. . . We ask all of you to hold the victims, their families, and all those affected in your hearts and prayers."
"This is not another obituary for Roger Ailes," begins Monica Lewinsky, writing in the New York Timesabout a man who used Fox News to "hammer... ceaselessly" the story about her affair every hour of every day during the worst chapter of her life.
But just two years into his tenure, in 1998, he transformed Fox News into a juggernaut—with a relentless focus on Lewinsky's affair with Bill Clinton. Lewinsky quotes one of Ailes's underlings:
John Moody, a Fox executive editor, reflected on that period: “The Lewinsky saga put us on the news map.” As he put it in another interview: “Monica was a news channel’s dream come true.”
"Their dream was my nightmare. My character, my looks and my life were picked apart mercilessly," wrote Lewinsky. "Truth and fiction mixed at random in the service of higher ratings."
Sound familiar?
Meanwhile, Lewsinsky says, she stayed at home and watched the coverage. And if Fox News was bad, there was no refuge on MSNBC or any other network. The internet was its own slideshow of horrors.
"I ceased being a three-dimensional person. Instead I became a whore, a bimbo, a slut and worse."
Here's the "worse" she's referring to:
Just days after the story broke, Fox asked its viewers to vote on this pressing question: Is Monica Lewinsky an “average girl” or a “young tramp looking for thrills”?
The original trolls, just as internet culture became mainstream, went for her blood. Nor does Lewinsky take pleasure in the "irony of Mr. Ailes's career at Fox." That he launched it on her sex scandal, and ended it with his own.
Twenty-two people were killed and 59 were injured in a suicide bombing at an Ariana Grande concert in Manchester, England on Monday. As residents of the English city are left reeling in the wake of this unimaginable tragedy, the people of Manchester are coming together to help one another.
Anyone needing a lift/place to stay from the Manchester Arena, tweet #roomformanchester Retweet and get this trending to help.
Manchester residents and businesses are using Twitter to connect with those left stranded after train service was suspended following the attack. The hashtag #roomformanchester is connecting those with a little extra space with concert-goers seeking refuge.
I live 5 mins from the Manchester Arena. I have sofa bed, food/drink and phone chargers if anyone needs any help #roomformanchester
People are also utilizing Twitter to share pictures of loved ones who are still lost in hopes of locating them.
Through the pain and turmoil of this unspeakably horrific tragedy, Manchester is coming together to support each other. A 23-year-old Manchester resident emailed Teen Vogue writer Lauren Duca to give a first-hand account of how the city is doing following the shocking attack.
We in this city have not reacted to this terror attack with vitriol; or with fear. We have not even reacted in open defiance (yet). Our first reaction has been to take to the streets with water, with supplies, to open our homes to those who are stranded and also, sadly, to guide the families who have lost their children through to the centre of a city they don't know. If you do choose to write about us, please know that [we] reacted with kindness, empathy, and love. Not with hate.
Diet Starts Monday, a bar and restaurant in Washington, D.C., recently introduced and then pulled an ill-conceived Bill Cosby-inspired cocktail from their menu. According to The Washingtonian, the tequila-based drink, called the Pill Cosby, was even garnished with fake capsules. You might wonder what on Earth would ever make the restaurant owners think a drink named after a man accused of drugging and sexually assaulting 60 women (according to the Washington Post) would be a good idea. I have no answer. SMDH.
Seriously.. Someone thought this was a great idea.. A drink called Pill Cosby.. With pills floating in it pic.twitter.com/S2beA8xdCk
The co-founder of the bar, Davin Gentry, told The Washingtonian on Monday that the drink was meant to be some sort of statement on rape culture, saying, “It lets people be a little more aware." Oh, please.
The bar faced a ton of backlash (surprise!). People on Twitter didn't hold back when expressing their outrage.
When you hop off Twitter for a while and when you come back, "Pill Cosby" is trending. pic.twitter.com/KAdUtGl5yO
Every 98 secs an American woman or man is sexually assaulted. But yeah, Pill Cosby is a really fucking funny drink. Sorry I'm so humorless. https://t.co/TcI0flZQv1
In the wake of a deadly terrorist attack at an Ariana Grande concert in Manchester, England, Fred Rogers' famous "helpers" quote has been circulating around the internet.
A lot of people are sharing this quote after the heartbreak in Manchester. It's also the 50th anniversary of Mr. Roger's Neighborhood. 1/ pic.twitter.com/zDnTrTcJ8v
Writer Anthony Breznican knows first hand that Mr. Rogers' "gentle soul" was not an act. In honor of the 50th anniversary of Mister Rogers Neighborhood, and perhaps to help us all deal with yet another act of terrorism, Breznican shared a story about the time he met the man himself in a college elevator in a Twitter thread late Monday night.
Fred Rogers was the real thing. That gentle soul? It was no act. 3/
Breznican had grown up watching Mister Roger's Neighborhood, but hadn't seen it in a long time, until he found it on a TV in an empty common room on his college campus.
It was easy to feel hopeless. One span was especially bad. Walking out of the dorm, I heard familiar music: 🎶Won't you be my neighbor... 7/
That's when Mr. Rogers sat and listened to Breznican talk about his grandfather's death. He even shared stories of his own grandfather, who had passed away decades before.
I like to think I didn't go on and on, but pretty soon he was telling me about his grandfather & a boat the old man bought him as a kid. 21/
A viral tale from Reddit's depths of idiocy, the dreaded Today I F*cked Up forum, will serve as a warning for any homo sapien demented enough to try to "scare" their mate.
What do you think's gonna happen? They'll be terrified and ride that feeling all the way to the sound of church bells? Don't be an idiot. They'll just hate you.
Like this guy: 'TIFU by trying to scare my wife. NSFW.'
This actually happened today. I'm writing this while currently in the doghouse. So my wife and I are just finishing a nice shared bath. We are almost ready to get out when she notices that her crazy bipolar dog is sitting by the tub shaking instead of her usual spot under the bed in fear of her getting her own bath. My wife being slightly paranoid instantly thinks something or someone must be in the bedroom that is making the dog scared. She ignores my logic that the dog is bipolar and if there were anyone or anything in the bedroom she would be going nuts barking. Not to mention my husky is in the living room and would not let anyone in without doing something.
So far, we have: two dogs, one scared. Two humans, one scared. Got it?
Let's move to act two.
Well. We get out of the tub and start to dry off all the while my wife is eyeing the bathroom door into the bedroom which is wide open. She finishes drying off and as women do she wraps the towel around her. Now she needs to check out the bedroom. She literally gets down near the door and starts crawling towards the door.
Picture this, but less terrifying:
Now, all of the above has merely been set-up for the impending idiocy of the husband. Let's play a make-your-own-adventure game. In the man's situation, watching his unsuspecting wife crawl away from the bathroom in a towel, do you:
A.) Do nothing.
B.) Do nothing.
C.) Do nothing.
D.) Do something.
What a bummer, the man chose D!
Here is where my fuck up happens. She is crawling in nothing but a towel about to peak around the doorframe to the rest of the bedroom. Of course what do I do standing there seeing her butt facing me holding a towel? Yep. I think a quick little pop to the butt will scare her good. Without a second thought I let a light little flick of the towel fly. Oh but I forget. It's not how hard you flick the towel it's how you flick the towel. It was almost perfect...except my aim was off. Yes in my stupidity did i not only manage to pull off a perfect snap of the towel but i managed to perfectly center my aim right where no one ever wants to be hit. It was literally looked like it was in slowmotion as I watched in horror the towel popping right in my wifes crack. I knew the look well she gave when she turned and rolled to her back. I get her up and breathing normal again and then I see the other look. I know I deserve this look.
The man says "crack," and this can be confusing, because he doesn't mean butt crack.
For those of you who scrolled directly to the bottom of the article, just to read the fall-out— THE MAN FLICKED HIS WIFE'S VAGINA WITH A TOWEL AND HURT HER REAL BAD.
Bachelor parties are known for alcohol, Vegas, and bros on the loose...and some bros just might get a little too loose. In a recent NSFW Reddit thread, men dished out tales of nights so wild, they just might have ruined the wedding. As commenter fafanta aptly put it, "Welp, from this thread I learned that if I'm cheated on nobody will tell me." Be careful out there.
In New Orleans our bachelor group good found a bachelorette group and started talking/dancing etc.
It was late in the night at this time, and our bachelor was dancing with their bachelorette mostly at the urging of the bridesmaids because they thought it would be "cute". Not too long into it he gets belligerently handsy and heads a bit up the skirt.
I didn't see the act but spun around when one of the bridesmaids hollered, "Your bachelor just fingered our bachelorette!"...we bounced immediately.
2. Pandamonius84 is a stripper critic and either a really good cousin or really bad cousin.
This happened a couple of years ago.
Cousin was having his bachelors party, but the guys got stuck with the kids so that the ladies could go crazy with their bachelorette party. So it was just pizza and Marvel movie marathon for the party.
Next day I get a message saying that their will be a "real" bachelor party tonight to make up for getting stuck babysitting kids. This turns into a typical drink fest, gambling, gf/wife ranting, etc. Cousins friend than announces that he hired a stripper just as the doorbell rang. Turns out the stripper was my cousins ex gf of 3 years.
So she starts doing her stripper routine, which was not that great imo (clearly not a professional) She spends most of the time dancing for my cousin which I could tell was a clear "bet you wish you kept me." So she's finally done with her "performance" and goes to leave but offers a more "private performance" for the groom. And since the groom had a few to many shots he agrees and both head to the bathroom. All the while all the guys are hooting them on.
4 years later I see his ex at the grocery store with a little girl that looked to be 3 or 4 years old. I just turn around to avoid her seeing me, head to the cashier, grabbed my stuff, and just ran. I never dare tell him since he and his wife are in a happy relationship and trying to have a child together.
Right around the time my brother-in-law to be was drunk enough to get maudlin, his friends and I duct taped him to a tree. Specifically, the tree he'd be getting married under about sixteen hours later.
I will definitely not be having my bachelor party the night before the wedding.
4. There's drunk texting your ex, and then there's drunk-texting-leads-to-wedding-eve-sexting your ex, as TimboCalrissian witnessed.
Bachelor drunk texted his ex when the party started winding down. Got back to where we were staying and he ended up sexting with her for hours. Sending pictures and all that shit. Apparently it happened a few more times after the wedding, too
I had a bachelor party in Las Vegas. It was amazing everyone had a great time. Except I was never engaged my buddy made up the story so he could go to Vegas and bang hookers. I was filled in about 10min before we sat down to a dinner his wife was attending.
6. Istlion's ex-friend mixed business with pleasure.
Had a friend, he no longer talks to me because he thinks he knows better than everyone else and let politics ruin a friendship....
Anyway, it's this dudes Bachelor party for his 2nd marriage. I'm sure this one will work out since he trapped her with a kid. Anywhoo....dude promises to his wife he wouldn't go to the stripclub. There he is at the club and he gets some dances in the VIP room. And then he pays for it with his AmEx. Except, it's his corporate card.....
So then he's trying to scramble how to have work not find out what he did, get charged to the right card but not have his wife figure out he just spent that much money....
7.Tankpac's tale is currently being pitched to Hollywood as a Hangover-meets-Grumpy Old Men.
Went to a bachelor party that was hosted in an upscale hotel room. When I walked in there was nothing but a bunch of middle aged men sitting around playing poker. I thought I was gonna have a terrible time, so I proceeded to get drunk as hell. Then a small army of strippers walked in and all hell broke loose.
The strippers brought a spring loaded stripper pole but it was too short to reach the ceiling. We had the genious idea of using the coffee table to add some height. We placed it on the table, cocked it back, and it shot through ceiling, making a basketball sized hole.
There was a dick measuring contest between a 70 year old man and a 50 year old man. 70 year old man won. His little brother took a picture of it on his phone and was proudly showing how big his big brothers dick was.
One guy got drunk and told everyone that his wife was a squirter and he can aim the shit and hit objects across the room.
Of course the strippers were not just strippers and everyone mysteriously disappeared at one point or another.
Good times. I never gave so many bro nods the next week at the wedding.
I was part of a bachelor party that was strip club hopping in Vegas. The bachelor went back for a private dance, the club has these little rooms with really small beds for private dances. We suddenly see the stripper, holding her outfit pressed against her chest, running to the behind the stage area while a large bouncer is escorting the bachelor out. At the same time another club employee informed us that the bachelor had to leave, we could stay if we wanted to but he had to leave. Of course we all left but he would not tell us any details of what happened. I still talk to the guy and to this day he won't say a word on what went on back there (we all have our theories).
9. OccamsMallet will ruin the word "facepaint" for you.
First Bachelor party when I was 18 and worked in a summer role at a Petroleum Engineering company. My colleagues were all young engineers in their 20's earning the big bucks. We went to the house where the party was and was handed a drink and a door prize number. We went down the stairs into the basement, and the first room had the groom tied to a chair with a drip of some rum drink going into his mouth. The TV had VHS porn on it (this was back then). In came strippers, which proceeded to use their breasts to "facepaint" all the participants. After awhile, some of the girls left, while the others did the traditional "groom tied to a chair and having a lapdance" process. Turns out the "door prize" was one of the strippers. I assumed that all Bachelor parties would be similar .... I can say, now, 35 years later... no.
My buddy who I worked with had a private bachelor party thrown for him at a friends house. The host hired two strippers to be topless dealers for the poker games. Once the poker games ended the girls did lap dances for the guys at the party but nothing too crazy.
I left the party for a little, probably to have a cigarette, and I came back to to see a line of guys next to one of the bedroom doors with the door closed. The groom was no where to be found. I asked around even though I already knew the answer of where the groom could be, and was told "Don't worry, he's only getting a hummer. If you want one too its $100."
I decided against spending $100 for a BJ from a girl who just sucked 8 or so many dicks before mine. Also, it turned out later that the groom did bang that stripper. As far as I know the bride never found out. They have had their issues so it possible it was leaked and she forgave it.
On a side note the BJ giving stripper turned out to be related to a girl who we also worked with. I was hanging out with the girl when the stripper walked in holding her kid. It was a little awkward but i'm pretty sure she didn't recognize me.
TL;DR: Buddy at his bachelor party banged the stripper and then she offered BJs for $100 to the rest of the guys there.
Jason Alexander made his face of one the most recognizable in the world with his portrayal of George Costanza, the petty, snide, immature New Yorker on Seinfeld based largely on petty, snide, immature New Yorker Larry David.
So the man's a great actor because it's shocking—no joke, shocking—to watch him prance around singing with gusto about the McDonald's DLT. You can barely detect the simmering hatred of George Costanza lurking beneath that jingling demeanor.
TIMEcalls the following 80s gem "one of the looniest, cheesiest, pranciest West Side Story-est ads ever." They also note Alexander's love of musical theater. That much is evident.
Did it kind of feel like he hated himself for doing that? Here is the entire transcript of the commercial, because it is a treasure:
Hey! You say you're getting tired of lettuce and tomato hamburgers in this town that don't quite make it? You say that just once you'd like a hamburger hot and your lettuce and tomato cool and crisp... *double finger guns* ... all at the same time?
Well I say... you got it! I'm talking McDonald's new lettuce and tomato hamburger! The McDLT!
*Singing*
I'm talking quarter pounder beef on the hot hot side/ The new McDLT/ Crisp lettuce and tomato on the cool cool side/ The new McDLT!/ The beef stays hot!/ The cool stays crisp!/ Put it together, you can't resist!/ The hottest taste! The coolest (???)/ It's a cool time! For the great taste!/ Of McDonald's!
Could be the best tasting lettuce and tomato hamburger... ever!
Compare that Jason Alexander to this one:
"SHE BOUGHT ME THE McDLT, JERRY!"
Thanks to baseball writer Rob Neyer for bringing the clip back to the internet's attention. He's right, if Larry David had just let Jason Alexander sing, who knows how successful Seinfeld could have been?
Just think how much better SEINFELD would have been if they'd really turned Jason Alexander loose...https://t.co/vY716iCXzu
Despite being a child herself, this little girl just realized how difficult raising children can be. Her reaction is pretty relatable.
America’s Funniest Home Videos (yeah, that's still a thing, apparently) shared this video of a toddler breaking down in tears after realizing what every parent already knows: kids are exhausting.
"I don't want kids! They're too exhausting!" cried the child.
Yep. They sure are! Most parents have had a similar reaction to this little girl's at some point, the only difference being that they probably had a wine glass in their hand.
Just enjoy being the cause of your parent's exhaustion while you still can, kid.
We're all excited to see Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2. This girl's trip to the movies took a bit of an unexpected turn, though.
Imgur user smashcuts posted some screenshots of a text conversation with their little sister, who got a traumatizing surprise when she went to see Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2.
After Emily saw the movie, she texted her sibling, upset that "that cute fox" wasn't in the movie. (She was referring to Rocket Raccoon.)
Smashcuts was rightfully confused by their sister's claims, as Rocket Raccoon is on-screen for most of Guardians. That's when Emily realized she'd made a terrible mistake.
Yep. Turns out she had just sat through the new Alien movie, thinking it was Guardians of the Galaxy.
Smashcuts had a pretty valid question for their sister: How did this happen?
Turns out Emily was pretty traumatized by Alien, but kept watching because she "thought the fox guy was gonna save them the whole time."
