Man interrupts basketball game to try and score a wife.

A man proposed to his girlfriend on a basketball court in the middle of a game.

Inspired by Love and Basketball, Alex "Superman" Johnson proposed to his girlfriend Brey Dorestt right in the middle of the court during a game of one-on-one. Watching the footage will make you want to go hug your significant other and/or hit the gym.

The video starts out with Johnson scoring a few points against Dorestt, even prompting a spectator to yell "Come on Brey, what's going on?" suggesting she wasn't playing her hardest. Then Johnson fakes an injury, and instead of getting back up, he gets on one knee. SPOILER ALERT: she says yes.

The proposal is so touching it could make you forget about being a sad, lonely, single person!







When God grants you that special someone. Give praise and thank him for the continuous blessings. Let's make it official @breyschoice S/O @diamondboi for the ring. Special S/O to @candid__aj for the photos

Without music, Rihanna's 'Stay' video is just a weird lady farting in a bathtub.

0
0

How did we not think that watching someone take a bath would be this creepy?

On paper, the idea of watching Rihanna take a bath seems like a pretty cool idea. She's both talented and attractive. She seems like she has a lot of worldly experience and is probably a pretty decent conversationalist. So, you'd think that hanging out in the bathroom with her while she soaks in the tub would be stimulating in a variety of ways.

The reality—as is shown in the above video from the Musicless Musicvideo people—proves otherwise. As we are now reminded, bath time is private time, and invasions of privacy are inherently creepy. Plus, nobody needs to see Rihanna turning her tub into a butt-powered jacuzzi.

That's probably why, for the official video, Rihanna decided to overlay this footage with her song "Stay." It makes it a bit easier to watch.

6th grader writes apology note to the police for a serious yet hilarious infraction.

A sixth grader wrote a note apologizing for calling 911 and saying "deez nuts" to the emergency dispatcher.


Deez Nuts say "I'm sorry." (via SCMPD)

The crime took place in Savannah, GA on May 26th when a 911 emergency dispatcher received a surprising phone call. Here is a mock-up of the call transcript:

Dispatch: 911, what's your emergency?
Punk Kid: DEEZ NUTS.

Prank calling 911 is a serious transgression. However, the term "deez nuts" is super funny. This kid's got some comedic potential. Apparently, the kid's parents found out about the call and made their child write an apology letter, and the note was actually very sincere.

The parents had their child deliver the note in person, and the 911 staff accepted the apology. According to Savannah PD, "The visit gave 911 staff the opportunity to show them how they work, how prank calls interrupt that work, and how it puts the general public at risk by taking both dispatchers and first responders away from legitimate situations."

Here's the full note:

Dear Emergency Dispacher,
I am writing a apology letter for what I did last night. Last night I called and said "Deez Nuts." I know this was stupid but I was not listening to myself but I knew it was wrong. Please forgive me for what I said. I know there will be consequences for my actions and I will not complain about them. Again please if you can forgive me if you can. What happened was that me and my friends were talking and I got dared to call you. I would get nothing out of it and only get in trouble for it. In the end I got in trouble for it and this is a letter for you. I am sorry for what I did and hope that you can forgive me.
Sincerely,

I think this sixth grader just needs an outlet for creative expression. Also, I'll be using "deez nuts" as much as possible in all my texts and calls from now on.

This baby meets his mom's twin sister for the first time, and he just can't handle it.

At 10-months-old, Felix gets to meet his mom's identical twin sister for the first time, and he pretty much looks like he's gazing inside the Ark of the Covenant.


Which side is the baby, and which side is a screenshot from an Indiana Jones film? The answer may surprise you! Actually, it probably won't. Sorry. If it does, you should spend some time learning about what a baby is. (via MailOnline and davstern1500 on YouTube)

Why don't we adults pull more pranks on babies? People love pranks, and babies are super gullible. Like, take this baby, Felix, who appears in the video below. Felix was born in Lithuania last year, and recently, he traveled to Montreal, where he met his mother's identical twin sister for the first time. And, from what I can tell from the video below, the experience blew his baby mind.

Actually, thinking about it more, I guess we actually prank babies all the time. Peek-a-boo isn't much more than a prank, right? And there are other pranks we play on babies, too, like "The airplane is going to fly into your mouth!" (It's not an airplane, it's a spoonful of food! LOL!) or "I'm totally going to have enough money saved up by the time you're 18 for you to go to college!" Yup. Those are some pretty funny pranks.

Lose yourself in this woman's awesome sign language performance of Eminem's 'Lose Yourself.'

0

I always wanted to know how to say 'mom's spaghetti' in ASL.

Thirteen years after it was released, Eminem's "Lose Yourself" remains one of those songs that requires my full attention whenever it pops up on the shuffle. I have to stop whatever I'm doing, regardless of how important it is, and just spend about five minutes pretending to be a cool person who does not look incredibly silly as he acts like he's rapping.

In my mind, I look like this American Sign Language interpreter's performance of the song. To anyone who's watching, I probably look more like this:

Okay, almost as good as that.

This guy found something living inside his ear, and you might not want to see it.

Nope! Nope! Nope! Nope! Nope! Nope! Nope! Nope! Nope! Nope! Nope! Nope! Nope! Nope! Nope! Nope! Nope! Nope! Nope! Nope! Nope! Nope! Nope! Nope!

Nope!

Seriously, what even is that?! Is it a spider? Or some kind of crustacean? Maybe it's the physical manifestation of a nightmare. Whatever it is, I'm 97 percent sure I have one in my own ear now. It's probably burrowing its way through my brain as I type this.

In case you're wondering how a terrible thing like this can happen, the creature's host gave a short explanation on in the YouTube description:

"Swam at Lake of the Ozarks last weekend and got a super painful ear infection. Totally blocked ear canal. Tried to use my phone's camera to see if I could see anything. Found this!"

Unacceptable! This is why I try to avoid nature at all costs. Because it's horrible and should be shunned. Now, if you'll excuse me, I have to go flush my ear canal out with napalm.

Escaped pig in Michigan terrorizes woman; poops in the last place you should poop.

After a pig went on the run last Thursday, the residents and police of Shelby Township, Michigan better understand the phrase "hog wild."


And after a trip in a squad car, the pig better understands the phrase "ridin' dirty."
(via Shelby Twp Police on Facebook)

That sassy, happy pig you see above? That pig is also a HARDENED CRIMINAL. Last Thursday, the pig managed to escape from its home in Shelby Township, Michigan, and he proceeded to run around town like the world was his sty. According to CBS Detroit,

...the whole thing started after police received a 911 call around 7 p.m. Thursday, from a woman who said there was a pig on the loose and she didn't know what to do. According to reports, the woman was doing yard work when the pig came barreling toward her. It then chased her into the front yard before getting distracted by a decorative ball.

At least we know that when the eventual war against genetically modified super-pigs begins, we can destroy them with a series of decorative balls and, I assume, Home Alone-style DIY traps.

According to police, capturing the pig was relatively easy — they just used a dog pole. But once the pig was in the squad car, he proceeded to do what most humans know is a very, very bad idea: defecate all over the back of the police cruiser.

This is where you should stop if you don't want to see a bunch of pig poop in a police car, OK?

OK! Here you go:

Three teen girls in a car accident were saved by their Taylor Swift concert bracelets.

Trapped in the wreck, the girls used their Taylor Swift concert bracelets to attract attention.


Caroline and Elizabeth Dazzio. (via WBRZ)

Last week in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, teenager Elizabeth Dazzio was driving her sister Caroline and a friend home, when she fell asleep. The car careened off the road and hit a pole, finally coming to a rest far enough from the 110 highway that passersby couldn't see the wreck. Elizabeth was passed out in front, the girls in back were trapped inside, and according to Caroline, "You could smell the gas and smoke." They knew they needed to get help, but the only cell phones they could find were dead.


The bracelets' lights synced up with Swift's show. (via WBRZ)

That's when Caroline and her friend realized that they could use the light-up bracelets they had gotten earlier that night at a Taylor Swift concert to possibly attract attention. The girls banged the bracelets against the windows, causing them to illuminate. Thankfully, one driver passing by saw them. According to Caroline, it was so difficult to see the car that the woman who stopped to help "said that all she could see was smoke, and she couldn't tell what kind of car it was or anything."

Thankfully, all the girls are alive and safe, and Taylor herself Tweeted how happy she was that they're doing all right:

I like this Shia LaBeouf motivational video, and I don't know who I am anymore.

I like this Shia LaBeouf motivational video, but I have disliked things he's done in the past. Internet rules state I have to either fully love or fully hate him... so I guess I love him now?

Shia LaBeouf made this motivational video as part of a project called #INTRODUCTIONS. I like it, because he's right — if you want to do something, just do it! Don't make excuses, and don't quit. Just keep working on it, and you will get there.

But what does it mean if I like this video, while I have disliked things Mr. LaBeouf has done in the past? It certainly can't mean that life is a giant grey area, and we can both like and hate things from a single person. I mean, the entire Internet is built on thinking that people, TV shows, and even dogs are either completely perfect or completely terrible. SO THIS MUST MEAN I LOVE SHIA LABEOUF.

If I 100%, unequivocally love Shia now, what else could have changed for me? Maybe eggs don't make me feel nauseous when I eat them. Maybe I think everyone looks good in drop-crotch pants, and not like a bunch of weird fashion genies. Oh no oh no oh no... what if I love Star Wars episode 1?

Pray for me, everyone.

This incredible, record-breaking 92-year-old woman just ran the San Diego Marathon.

At 92 years and 65 days old, Harriette Thompson is now the oldest woman to ever run a marathon (and probably the oldest woman to ever make you feel like a fat slob).

Earlier today, Harritte Thompson of Charlotte, North Carolina, finished her 15th 26.2-mile race by running the Rock n' Roll Marathon in San Diego. That's a big accomplishment on its own, but the 92-year-old also became the oldest woman to ever run a marathon. I, on the other hand, am literally eating blocks of cheese as I write this.

Thompson runs to benefit the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society (which she discusses in the video below). One thing she doesn't mention in the video that makes her success today even more incredible is that she had to miss some of her training this year to deal with the loss of her husband — and because she herself was battling cancer and a staph infection in her legs.

Thompson is also accomplished beyond the world of running. According to NBC News, she's "a classically trained pianist who played three times at Carnegie Hall," and she plays old pieces in her head while she's racing. So, basically, I've found who I want to be when I grow up.

The record for the oldest female marathoner was previously held by Gladys Burrill, who was 92 years and 19 days old when she broke the record in 2010. The oldest male marathoner, Fauja Singh, completed a full marathon at the age of 100.

Reminders

Sorry, but Amy Schumer wrote a really funny sketch about how women say they're sorry too much, okay? Sorry!

0
0

Oh my gosh, I hope this video doesn't make anyone uncomfortable, I'm so sorry.

Why do women say they're sorry so much? Probably because we're socialized to be polite over all other human behaviors, like asserting ourselves at work, aggressively defending our personal safety, and allowing others to care for us when we're in need. Wow, that made me sound like such a bitch, I'm so sorry!

Ladies, take the message of this sketch with you into the world: you don't have to apologize for everything. You can take up space in public, you can demand to be heard. Believe in yourself! You are just as likely to be right as anyone, you deserve the same courtesy and respect from men as they afford one another, you are capable, strong and I am so sorry, this is dumb, everything I've ever done is dumb. I'm going to walk into the ocean right now, goodbye.

Jaden Smith is definitely my favorite celebrity offspring. He and his sister Willow are famous for their nutty interviews that show us how our lives might be if we were raised by the richest hippies in the world. Here are some quotes:

WILLOW: I mean, time for me, I can make it go slow or fast, however I please, and that's how I know it doesn't exist.

JADEN: It's proven that how time moves for you depends on where you are in the universe. It's relative to beings and other places. But on the level of being here on earth, if you are aware in a moment, one second can last a year. And if you are unaware, your whole childhood, your whole life can pass by in six seconds. But it's also such a thing that you can get lost in.

WILLOW: Because living.

JADEN: Right, because you have to live. There's a theoretical physicist inside all of our minds, and you can talk and talk, but it's living.

WILLOW: It's the action of it.

Wow. Love it, love everything about it. Jaden also seems to experiment with gender expression, though he has always publicly identified as male. He just likes cool clothes and does not give two sh*ts what anyone thinks.

F*ck labels! Not to dwell too much on the attractiveness of a 16-year-old boy, but his different styles don't seem to be stunting his social life. He sure gets asked to prom a lot. Here he is swinging the masculine/feminine pendulum the other direction and dressing as Batman:

This look had variations:

I wish I'd worn a dress that chic to my prom. I had more of a Dress Barn look going on. Keep doing you, Jaden, can't wait to see what you wear to your next 20 proms.

Muslim woman denied can of Diet Coke because flight attendant thinks she may use it as weapon.

Woman in headscarf denied only fun part of air travel.


Excuse me, ma'am, can I see your Diet Coke owner's permit? (via Facebook)

Complimentary beverages are all we, as airplane passengers, have left. It's our one moment to make a choice, get something for free, and enjoy ourselves for two to three minutes before returning to checking to see if the in-flight wifi suddenly became free.

And now that small joy has been denied a Muslim chaplain who is claiming she was discriminated against because of her religion.

31-year-old Tahera Ahmad is a chaplain and director of interfaith engagement at Northwestern University. On Friday, she was traveling from Chicago to Washington for a conference bringing together Israeli and Palestinian youth. Ahmad requested an unopened Diet Coke for hygienic reasons and was told that wasn't allowed because it might be used "as a weapon."

Ahmad pointed out that the flight attendant had given an unopened beer to another passenger, and the flight attendant quickly grabbed and opened the beer. According to Ahmad's Facebook post about the incident, a third passenger then yelled anti-Muslim sentiments at her while the other passengers stood by.

I am sitting on a United airlines flight in the air 30,000ft above and I am in tears of humiliation from discrimination....

Posted by Tahera Ahmad on Friday, May 29, 2015

After Ahmad's story went public, United Airlines issued a statement saying there had been a "misunderstanding over a can of soda." Yes, that's right. An airline was dismissive of a passenger's complaints. Here's the statement:


Thank you for choosing United's particular brand of not caring. (via Facebook)

But as Ahmad wrote on Facebook, "This is not about a can of soda." It's about the everyday discrimination that she faces as a Muslim woman, and the double standards that make her life difficult. And, as she notes, it's particularly ironic that she was on her way to a conference promoting interethnic dialogue.

Clearly this flight attendant could use a crash course in interacting with people from different backgrounds. Or just a reminder to not be a dick.


Adam Levine's bare ass is 2015's song of summer.

If you're into a very white butt your dreams are about to come true!

Before we talk about dat ass, can we talk about how this song is shamelessly grasping for the honorary title of "song of the summer"? Every year, as the days get longer and people slowly shed their winter wear, radio stations throw out the best and brightest of the "song of summer" possibilities. In a fair and just world, that song would be determined by honest groovitude levels, not on who includes the word "summer" and an f-bomb in the title.

If that didn't seem cheap enough, now Adam Levine is showing off his assets to get us to watch, share, and talk about this song. Well, it worked, Maroon 5. This Summer's Gonna Hurt Like a Motherf*cker is officially the "song of the summer." I didn't want it and you don't deserve it, but you're savvy marketers and lean mean music machines.

Now here's Dat Ass:


Pretty much exactly what I imagined.(screenshot via Maroon 5)

Snakes: Another reason you should never text and walk.

Now you can add snakes to the list of reasons why it's important to pay attention to your surroundings while texting.

This is an actual nightmare complete with dream logic and over-the-top danger symbolism. It's like a modern day update of that dream where you're standing in front of your high school class and realize you're not wearing pants, but it's scarier, incorporates technology, and somehow actually happened. Or hopefully I'm asleep right now and will soon wake up back safe in the comfort of a world in which snakes don't bite people texting in parking lots.

What do you do if you don't have a selfie stick? Use the nearest elephant.

Christian LeBlanc's camera was stolen by an elephant, who used it to take this dramatic 'elfie.'






Let's get this Elfie on Ellen Degeneres! #ElfieOnEllen @theellenshow

Elephants are among the most intelligent animals, but even they can't resist the allure of humanity's dumbest trend: the selfie. 22-year-old Canadian Christian LeBlanc discovered that while he was traveling in Thailand with his girlfriend. The two encountered this elephant and decided it would be fun to feed it. He bought some bananas and gave them to the animal, but here's the thing about elephants: they eat a lot. As he told ABC News:

“The elephant quickly ate what little bananas I had and become touchy trying to find more food. Next thing I knew it grabbed my GoPro by the mount...My GoPro was set to continuous shooting so when the elephant grabbed my camera, the result was the world's first ever 'Elphie!'"

LeBlanc isn't entirely correct about that. Last year, an elephant named Latabe at a safari park in England snatched a visitor's phone and grabbed this gem:

Are elfies the new selfies? Yes. All human selfies are now irrelevant. Tell everyone.

Enrique Iglesias had a pretty badass response to getting his fingers cut open by a drone mid-concert.

You know how you can tell if someone's a professional? When that person does his job, even if he accidentally sliced his fingers open on a drone.

That's what Enrique Iglesias did on Saturday night when he was injured by a drone that was filming his concert in Tijuana. And instead of going to the hospital or lashing out against the robot who did this to him, he went on with the show for 30 minutes.





LAST NIGHT IN #TIJUANA ENRIQUE IGLESIAS SUFFER AN ACCIDENT INTERACTING WITH THE DRONE IN THE SHOW Last night Enrique had a show at a bullfight ring in Tijuana, Mexico for 12k+ people as part of his #SexandLove world tour. During the show a drone is used to get crowd shots and some nights Enrique grabs the drone to give the audience a Point of View shot. Something went wrong and he had an accident. He was semi-treated by crew on the side of the stage to try and stop the bleeding. He was advised to stop the show. He decided to go on and continued playing for 30 minutes while the bleeding continued throughout the show. He was rushed to the airport where an ambulance met him there. He was then put on a plane to LA where we was then put on a plane to see a specialist. We will continue to update as we have more info. Thank you all for your love and concern.

That's pretty badass. But not as badass as drawing a heart on your chest out of your own blood. Which is what Enrique did next:

Thankfully Enrique is recovering, but it's still unclear how this incident may affect the relationship between humans and machines.
