Cops watch as teen girl gives guy who harasses her every day piece of her mind, fists, shoes.

A teenage girl from Pilibhit, a city in northeastern India, put a stop to the guy who reportedly sexually harassed her on a daily basis. She dragged him into a police station, and then beat the crap out of him.


That's when she "put on a shoe." Actually she took off her shoe.
So she could
pummel that guy with it. (Via Hindustan Times)

Ankit Rajput, the boy seen getting shoe'd in this video, had apparently been harassing the young woman (unnamed in reports) every day for quite some time. This week, the woman cornered Rajput on the street by blocking his motorcycle with her bicycle, right in front of a police station. Then, she pulled Rajput off his bike and into the precinct. That's when police started rolling tape.

She declined to file a criminal complaint, opting instead to take justice into her own hands. Which is to say that she used her hands to strike Rajput about the face and back, then kicked him, twisted his arm, and beat him with her shoe. Then she forced him to bow down and touch her feet to apologize.

What did the police do? Well, they certainly weren't about to get in the young woman's way. You can even hear them in the background, encouraging her.

"He used to harass us every day. When it went beyond limits and the abuses grew worse, we decided to act," the girl told reporters.

Harassment and worse of women has become an increasingly important political topic in recent years, after centuries of being tolerated, and this viral video did not go unnoticed by politicians. Said Vijay Bahadur, spokesperson for BJP (currently the largest party in Parliament), "The incident has once again brought to light the poor law and order situation in UP where sexual harassment and rape are becoming daily affairs."


This panic-attack inducing new app tells you who unfriended you.

There's a new app called WhoDeletedMe, and it will tell you who deleted you.


All keyboards should come equipped with this button. (via Thinkstock)

The answer to the age-old question "Can't we all just get along?" is a definitive, "No, because you're too annoying on Facebook." And now, thanks to Who Deleted Me on Facebook, you can find out exactly who finds you unbearable on social media. Also, it gives your ex-friends the ability to learn that you deleted them and ask you the horrifying question "Why?" which will surely haunt your waking dreams. Gone are the days of allowing your awful ex-workers' ill-informed political rants to disappear quietly into the night with a simple unfriending.

According to the site, here's the simple explanation for the dark magic of this app:

Step 1: You give it access to all your Facebook data so it knows who your friends are.


(via deleted.io)

Step 2: You allow the robots to figure out if there have been any changes in your precious list of friends.


(via deleted.io)

Step 3: Figure out who thinks you're a jerkwad.


(via deleted.io)

It's so simple, yet terrifying. Who knew it would be so easy to learn who to secretly despise for all eternity? Hopefully everyone will log on once and forget about the app more quickly than we forgot about that crappy age-measuring thingy. I hope people don't use it because I like to "clean up" my friend list more often than I clean my actual apartment, and the idea of getting called out my by former "friends" is already giving me a panic attack.

You probably didn't know these celebs are really good singers.

Celebrities. We love them, we know everything about them, and they are our friends.

But somehow, after all these years, we still occasionally find something out that we didn't know before. And it's like, "How did this never come up?" For example, did you know that the following famous people are really good at singing?

1. Ryan Gosling
Before he became known as straight women's most obvious celebrity crush, he was a cast member on The Mickey Mouse Club.

2. Annie Golden
On Orange Is the New Black, Norma is silent, but in real life Golden is a professional singer who used to front a punk band.

3. Steven Pasquale
He has amazing range, easily transitioning from the will-they-won't-they tension of The Good Wife to the will-they-won't-they tension of Carousel.

4. Michael Cerveris
Besides mysteriously popping up on Fringe as The Observer, Cerveris is a musical theater actor who starred in Hedwig and the Angry Inch (below) and won a Tony this year for Fun Home.

5. Tom Felton
Draco Malfoy's music has a shockingly Dashboard Confessional vibe.

6. Lauren Ambrose
The Six Feet Under star was supposed to star in a Broadway revival of Funny Girl that tragically got cancelled after I was already excited about it.

7. Hugh Laurie
Apparently House M.D. has released two blues albums.

8. Gwyneth Paltrow
Fingers crossed for Goop: The Musical.

9. Joseph Gordon-Levitt
He and Zooey D. used to dance to Marvin Gaye at lunch every day while filming500 Days Of Summer, because they can't stop entertaining.

10. Chris Pine
No one was more surprised than me at how good Chris Pine was in Into the Woods, because I always thought Pratt was the funny Chris.


83% of doctors do this gross thing that puts your health at risk.

If you guessed "going into work while they have diarrhea," you're partially correct!


"I threw up this morning. Now let's talk about that heart surgery." (via Thinkstock)

The next time your doctor asks you to turn your head and cough, he might just be doing it to cover his own hacking. According to a recent survey at the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia, a huge number of doctors and other medical professionals come to work when they're sick. The survey showed that 83 percent of doctors "had come to work with symptoms like diarrhea, fever and respiratory complaints during the previous year." This is despite 95% of respondents in the same survey thinking that working while sick can put patients at risk. (Also, what's up with the other 5% of doctors, who obviously know how contagious diseases work, being like "Nah, it's cool, bro."?)

The reason why they don't take a day off is the same reason why so many of us don't — that they don't want to be a burden to their coworkers, and that it's part of our culture to power through sickness unless it's really bad. According to the Reuters article about the study, "Many said they don't call in sick because they don't want to let colleagues or patients down by taking a sick day, and they were concerned about finding staff to cover their absence."

Coming into work when you're sick is an issue at businesses across America, especially since over 1/3 of workers don't get paid sick leave. But doctors, you can't tell me that you don't get paid sick leave. So make yourself a hot tea, and curl up on the couch when you're sick, OK? I know you have plenty of Netflix to catch up on, and I'd really like it if you kept your diarrhea at home.

Re: Re: What am I supposed to do with these 9000 cardboard cutouts of Subway Jared?

"We got Jared with a ball, Jared with his old pants, Jared eating a sub." (via Getty)

Hey, is this Pete? From Subway corporate headquarters? Yeah, it's me, Donny, the guy in charge of promotional materials for Subway... No, yeah, I heard the news—That's actually why I'm calling you. Look, I don't really know how to say this, but I have 9000 cardboard cutouts of Jared and I have absolutely no idea what to do with them.

What do you mean, "Why did I order them?"...Yes, I know we haven't had a Jared advertisement in years, but you guys said we were thinking of bringing the whole Jared thing back at our meeting last month. I wanted to be prepared.

Okay, I'll admit that I jumped the gun, but that's not the point, the point is that I spent almost our entire annual operating budget on Jared cutouts and we gotta figure out what we're gonna do with them...Look, maybe we're freaking out for no reason. I mean, he technically hasn't been charged with anything. Maybe this will be one of those cautionary tales about mob mentality, and Jared will be championed as an innocent martyr who got caught up with the wrong crowd.

No yeah, you're right, that is stupid. Whether he did it or not, no one's gonna want him watching them while they eat their sandwiches anymore. I don't blame 'em. I feel like the cutouts are watching me right now as we speak. And the motion-activated catchphrases? Sheesh, those are giving me the creeps.

What? Of course I shelled out extra for the catchphrase things. What kind of 21st century cardboard cutout doesn't have motion-activated catchphrases. What are the catchphrases? Well we've got "Exercise is fun!" and "Try one of our new flatbread sandwiches..." Yeah, they all sound kinda creepy now, even when they're not supposed to be.

You know what? What if we put a cutout in every store with some Sharpies and let customers vandalize them? You know, like draw funny moustaches and eyebrows on them. Show everyone that Subway is cool and that we condemn his actions (if he did it, of course). Oh, we could turn the cutouts into dartboards for people to use while they wait for their sandwiches!

Okay, no need to be so hurtful when it comes to my intelligence, Pete, I was just spitballing.

What if we order 9000 cardboard heads of a different person and switch them out. No one will notice. We could do Jake Gyllenhaal or something. He used to be fat, right? They look kind of similar. Or how about we stow them away for 50 years and wait until they become rare collectors' items? And then we sell them at a high profit margin? Maybe donate a few to a museum?

Gah, we're screwed. Let's just sell them to Quiznos and take the hit.

Runner loses race by celebrating early.

"Num-ber-one! Num-ber-one! Num-ber-oh shit."


He's been known to pop champagne at the halfway mark. (via YouTube)

We Americans know how to celebrate. But like all people who know how to celebrate, we can get a bit ahead of ourselves, to quite hilarious results. At the AJC Peachtree Road Race in Atlanta, Georgia on Saturday, American marathon runner Ben Payne was mere feet before the finish line of the 10K when he decided to start celebrating. He thought he had first place in the bag, and held up his index finger in an act of triumph. This slowed him down a bit and allowed British marathon runner Scott Overall to swoop in and actually win first, by only 9/100ths of a second.

No word from Payne on the incident, but Overall tweeted quite the cheeky response.

At least we beat them at soccer?

Bear breaks glass wall at zoo, signaling start of the animal takeover.

0
0

It has started.

A grizzly bear at the Minnesota Zoo grabbed a huge rock and hit it against a glass window until it shattered. The zoo's Director of Animal Collections, Tony Fisher, chalked it up to a little bear playfulness along with the fact that "rocks and glass don't get along." But this could also be the first in the inevitable string of instances of animals fighting back against their oppressors (humans, and I include myself in that group) until they're the ones in charge. Fisher also told USA Today:

He plays a lot. He plays with everything, you know, sticks and mud and fish and you know, he stays busy out there all the time in the water...

Sounds like he's testing out the various tools at his disposal.

The zoo now plans to bolt down moveable objects and replace the shattered glass. But the bears will never go back to the way things were before. And we can't either.


South Carolina lawmaker has frantic meltdown defending the losing side of history.

0
0

Being on the wrong side of two arguments, Rep. Lee Bright is one of history's biggest losers.

Today, the South Carolina state legislature voted 36-3 to remove the Confederate battle flag from capitol grounds. Bad news for Lee Bright, state representative from Spartansburg, SC, and upset daddy's boy. In the debate to remove the flag, Bright made a rambling plea to overturn gay marriages everywhere.

The debate to remove the flag began in the public after the horror of the shooting at the Emmanuel AME Church in Charleston last month. This is a very big symbolic achievement in ending a campaign of racial terror that has haunted our society for longer than we care to admit.

Coincidentally, our nation is making another big leap forward during "Hope and Change Super-Party Summer 2015." Legal marriages in the United States are now offered to any two people, regardless of sex, thanks to the narrow 5-4 Supreme Court ruling on June 26th.

Rep. Bright not only represents the people of South Carolina, but also futility. This is how narrow-minded people fight. They try to make the conversation about something else instead of about how they should maybe stop defending a hate-flag. Maybe in the 1990s, you could get away with stopping progress by starting a "Who loves the Bible most?' competition on the congressional floor, but that game don't work no more.

Bright's impassioned, clumsy plea to make everyone follow the Bible whether they like it or not thankfully falls on deaf ears in the legislature. At least we now have a great recording of this sad display to show the future what losers looked like in the year 2015.

This ad is just a montage of babies' faces while pooping and it would make Don Draper cry.

If I ever find out these babies weren't really pooping, Pampers, I swear to God I will a) not have kids and b) use Huggies if one happens by accident.

This is a commercial. I'm not going to sugarcoat that. It's a commercial for baby poop wipes from the baby poop products company Pampers. I have no opinion on baby poop products, because I am a childless adult who only deals with sensible, highbrow adult poops. That said, I quite enjoyed this commercial, which was a montage of babies looking very satisfied as they allegedly defecate onto themselves, set to "Thus Spake Zarathustra." I hope you enjoy it as well.

Since it's not presented in Smell-O-Vision, however, I just have to trust that I'm not being lied to by ad men. Don't screw me on this, Pampers. I don't have faith left in many groups of humanity. Don't ruin babies.

This guy recorded an entire album in an Apple Store over four months.

Now you really don't have an excuse for not following your dream.


He has a different definition of "messing around on Garage Band." (via Prince Harvey)

25-year-old Brooklyn-based rapper Prince Harvey was going through tough times. He wanted to record an album on a tight budget, but first his computer died, then his hard drive died, and then his equipment was stolen from his shared, twenty-roommate Bushwick loft. Instead of giving up like most people would have, he started recording his album in the SoHo Apple Store, making the trip from Brooklyn every weekday at 9 a.m.. He befriended two employees who helped him out, and had to deal with fire drills and angry security guards to complete the project. Four months later, he's ready to drop PHATASS, which stands for "Prince Harvey at the Apple Store: Soho."

All of the songs on the album only use human voices. According to his website:

Harvey was deeply inspired by Bobby McFerrin who, dissatisfied with the current state of popular music, created a very distinct sound in the 80s by not listening to the radio for 6 years and recording all his tracks a capella.

The album has a rich, complex, and unique sound. Hopefully record producers will realize what's up and give Harvey some funds for his next project. Even if that doesn't happen, it doesn't look like he's stopping anytime soon. Check out some of the songs on SoundCloud, and watch his debut music video below.

These Italian grandmas tried Olive Garden for the first time and cursed a lot.

0

Italian grandmothers are great at three things: making food, swearing, and swearing at food made by a chain restaurant.

When you're here, you're family. And one of the things that family members do is give honest feedback to other family members when they suck. Thus, these Italian grandmothers have a lot to say about the food from Olive Garden, from constructive criticism like "just a little more salt on top" to the less-helpful "it looks like a skinny dick to me." (At least that comment was about a breadstick.)

It's delightful to watch these ladies get offended by the food, but I also love that BuzzFeed didn't just make this a negative video. Instead, they included grandmothers who legitimately loved the Olive Garden eats. Even though I'm not a big fan of most chain restaurants, I appreciate that this wasn't just one of those "Haha! Look at us shitting on this shitty thing!" videos.

The one thing that BuzzFeed missed, though, was including some actually good, authentic Italian recipes from these ladies. If you need a palate cleanser for your food-mouth or your mind-mouth after watching this video, try this collection of Italian recipes from Saveur.

Fox has given us a teeny, tiny look at the new 'X-Files.'

This clip of Mulder and Scully is so small, I'm not sure Eugene Tooms could fit through it. But it's NEW.


GO ON. (via Fox on YouTube)

If you're like me and still have your X-Files fan club membership packet in your closet even though you're in your goddamn thirties, you're probably pretty stoked about the new X-Files episodes that are coming out in 2016. (Well, I'm walking a fine line between "stoked" and "please Chris Carter, make this better than the last movie.") Get that masking tape X back on your window, people, because earlier today, Fox released the first sliver of footage from the new show.

The video below is set to start playing at 32 seconds in. That's because I'm not going to tease you like Fox and make you think that you're going to see 41 seconds of new footage when 80% of the trailer is actually a montage of old episodes promoting the fact that Fox is going to play all 201 existing episodes of The X-Files before the premiere of the new ones. That's so cute, Fox! I love how bringing back one of your old shows makes you nostalgically think that people still watch TV like they did in 1998.

The fiercest story you'll ever read about an American flag tank top and mean teen girls.

Everyone should feel fierce when draped in freedom.


Only available in size Freedom.(via Facebook)

If there's one force out there that Americans must overcome in order to truly feel free in this great country of ours, it's not Communism, it's not Fascism, it's not ISIS—it's mean teen girls. Search your feelings; you know it to be true. Nothing can bring a proud American to tears faster than a well placed teen verbal dagger (especially when their moms, who have obviously failed in their duties, laugh along with them). But, much like Rachel Taylor here, we get back up, dammit.


(via Facebook)

We get back up and we put on the tank top they made fun of, because gosh darnit we look fierce, and our forefathers kicked the British out of this country precisely so we could look fierce without the fear of foppy-wigged aristocrats (the teen girls of the 18th century) making fun of us. At least, that's what I think. I was only a history major, so what do I know?

Oh, and we should get a gift certificate for it, too. Because...because more freedom, that's why.


Stay cool.


Unlike rude American ducks, Russian ducks have manners and cross at the crosswalk.

I hope you're watching this, American ducks, because these Russian ducks could teach you a lesson in politeness.

Oh, Russian dashboard cam footage. Usually all you have for us is accidents and road rage. A lot of accidents and road rage. Like this incident with costumed characters. Or this literal hit-and-run. Or at the very least, this giant-ass pothole (that induced accidents and probably road rage).

But today, today Russian dashboard cam footage brings us these adorable ducks crossing the street at the crosswalk. I had never really thought about it before, but watching this video made me realize that all of the ducks I have seen in America are RUDE. They NEVER cross at crosswalks, they NEVER use a knife and fork to eat breadcrumbs, and they FREQUENTLY quack when other ducks are quacking.

American ducks, you are on notice! Get politer, or else I'm sending you all to Duck Finishing School. (That's a school that teaches manners to ducks, not a school that teaches humans how to "finish" ducks.)

Oh, kid who found his mom's penis-shaped water bottle in the dishwasher, I feel for you.


How much liquid does that hold? 12 oz? (via Tumblr)

Parents: They're embarrassing. As you get older, you realize that your folks don't just exist to raise you; they're also real humans who have needs and desires. And sometimes one of those desires — or, dare I say, needs? — is to own a penis-shaped drink bottle, complete with bendy straw.

That's exactly what Tumblr user Pyomorphic found in his 41-year-old mother's dishwasher, and he is not happy about it, as you can see in the video below. I feel for you, kid. And I feel for your mom, who probably thought she'd have the dishwasher unloaded before you got home.

Paula Deen's social media manager reminded everyone that she's a racist with a quick tweet.

This photo was taken in the long ago days when Paula didn't know any better: 2011.


I'm sorry, who has explaining to do here?(via Paula Deen)

After Paula Deen got booted from the Food Network in 2013 for revealing her flagrant use of the n word she recovered pretty quickly. Probably because people love butter more than they love confronting uncomfortable truths. Paula still has a pretty successful career, including cookbooks and frequent TV appearances. She also has a huge social media following which includes a Twitter handle and a professional person who manages her accounts. It's pretty weird that this professional person thought the above photo was a good move in Game of Twitter, but it's even weirder that Paula Deen and her son Bobby dressed up as Lucille Ball and Desi Arnaz with Bobby in brownface. First of all, this is what Desi Arnaz looked like:


Heartbreaker.(via Wikipedia)

Not some spray tan monstrosity wearing white Mickey Mouse flesh gloves. Secondly, you're a mom and son dressing up like a married couple... This family. Here's some level-headed responses on Twitter:

Anyway, Deen deleted the tweet and reportedly fired the person who exposed her sordid past from four years ago. Let this be a reminder to the constant flood of white people who think painting their faces black and brown for fun is still appropriate that they are very, very wrong.

Director Paul Feig tweeted an image of the updated Ecto-1.


Who you gonna call? I'm gonna call everyone! I'm so excited!(via Wikia)

The hype for the Ghostbusters reboot just keeps heating up. First we saw some tantalizing images from the set, then Paul Feig tweeted pictures of the uniforms and proton packs that will be used by the movie's new roster of female Ghostbusters. Now, Feig has come through with the motherlode. This is what every red-blooded Ghostbusters fan has been dying to see: their famous car, the Ecto-1.

Oh man, that's sweet. The red hood is a nice touch. At first glance, it looks pretty similar to the original Ecto-1 from 1984. But if you compare it to that car, you'll see they're actually pretty different.


Wee-oo! Wee-oo! Sorry, I can't help but make that noise when I see it.
(via Wikia)

The tailfins might be gone, but the attitude is all there. The original car was a Miller-Meteor Futura Hearse/Ambulance Combination mounted on a 1959 Cadillac Fleetwood Professional Chassis. We'd need an automotive expert to determine the make and model of the new one, but it clearly has an impressive pedigree as well.

Will it be able to handle those tight Manhattan corners like the original did with Bill Murray behind the wheel? Only time will tell. Until then, we'll be waiting.
