Halloween


Man treats Muslim woman on train like a human being and the Internet rejoices.

UK-based tech support engineer Dante Jamie Coyne is getting tons of praise for not being a jerk to a Muslim woman. While on his way to work last week, Dante noticed other passengers on his train actively avoiding a woman wearing a niqab. Feeling bad for his fellow traveler, Dante moved seats to be closer to her and loudly said, "I'll sit here then." Dante posted about his experience on Facebook and the post went viral. 

Now everyone who knows me can fully support I joke about pretty much anything and everything, I do not offend intentionally and I would never make someone uncomfortable on purpose. I jump on a busy train this morning and everyone made it beyond obvious they would not sit in this section of 6 seats, I loudly announced, "ill sit here then" and took my seat. We said nothing the entire journey but as she got off the train she nodded at me and heard a very quiet "thank you". guys dont be so judgemental #DontJudgeByTheBooksCover

Since his small act of kindness, Dante's post has received over 45,000 likes and media coverage over multiple continents (though it appears to have since been taken down or made private). Surprised by the attention, Dante told BuzzFeed News he is “still in shock that what I deem normal has been praised so highly."

Turns out the internet likes it when people treat each other like humans

A mom shared what she thinks is an explicit sexual message on a Chipotle cup.

0
0

A mom shared this photo below on Imgur, with the caption "My son's Chipotle cup says 'reproductive sex' on it." This is a fairly neutral statement, though there are other words on the cup. She could have written, "My son's Chipotle cup says 'cultivating thought' on it." Or "My son's Chipotle cup says 'who wants to feel so small?' on it." Therefore, we must assume the words "reproductive sex" have some significance to her, though they are the least sexy words about sex ever strung together.

Circled in red for your viewing pleasure.

The words are actually from Anthony Doerr's Cultivating Thoughtseries, which he worked on for Chipotle. Here's the full text:

Tattoo Earth’s 4.5-billion-year timeline onto your arm, shoulder to fingertip, and your upper arm will get nothing but geologic mayhem: meteorites, magma, acid rain. Life won’t begin until your bicep, and from there to your wrist it’s all single-celled, oceangoing stuff. Reproductive sex won’t show up until your wristwatch, and creatures that are finally big enough to see – tubes and fronds and weird Precambrian plant-animals—will crisscross the back of your hand.

Maybe she's only upset because Chipotle is trying to make everyone read poetry without their consent. Commenters on Imgur are happy to jump to the conclusion that she's just an idiot, though:

If your son is old enough to understand it then he's already heard it, otherwise he's too young to understand it.

As a father of 5, is there any other kind of sex?

It's art. Grow up

Oh no education and art on a cup. How are you going to protect him from these sins.

How will she protect him from sins and a 700 calorie soda? Throw the whole thing in the trash!

Sorority girls' viral rant on why they don't accept black pledges must be read to be believed.

0
0

It seems like every week there's another viral sorority girl scandal, and another episode that highlights the institutional racism and disgusting personal biases that have existed in this country since its founding. This recent story is two for the price of one. 

At Southern Methodist University in Texas, where less than 1% of the freshman population is black, a thread on the message board GreekRank about sorority recruitment was less fun and flirty than it was hate speech. Reading like the ruling of Plessy vs. Ferguson, a bunch of sisters came together to preach segregation when it comes to sorority life on campus.

 

https://twitter.com/MyPWI/status/659732218533679104

The original poster wrote:

This is the south (hence SOUTHERN Methodist University), and a majority of girls are legacies with strong ties to the chapters they join (or will join), and tend to come from old money.

The reality is is that black pnms are often unqualified for recruitment (low GPA, bad grades, not involved on campus, know nothing about the houses) and are heavily unprepared (no letters of recommendations or letters of support) and generally come from a completely different background (impoverished lower class).

So going through recruitment is 10x tougher as a black woman, and you will have to work harder than other white, Asian, Hispanic or foreign women.

I know someone asked about it and this is a hot topic on YY, but it's the truth. people can deny and act like the houses are flooded with black girls, but they aren't.

A commenter chimed in to heighten the thread to hate crime with an itemized list of racist stereotypes:

Reasons black women do not and will not get bids:
1) Y'all are racist and have your own sororities and fraternities. Y'all created them, so how about utilizing them?

2) Y'all are aesthetically unpleasing to the eye for both actives and the fraternity men we associate with. No, we don't want to be the house that took "the black" and end up like Gamma Phi, where guys avoid them like the plague. Sorry, but looks matter.

3) Ya'll never have letters of recommendation or support

4) Y'all have no in house connections

5) Y'all go to crappy high schools and generally don't deserve to even be at SMU to begin with

6) Your personalities suck

7) Y'all are boring to talk to

8) Not wealthy

9) Don't put in any effort, yet expect us to want you

10) No incentives for bidding you, other than looking diverse. 

Why do black women think they're entitled to joining OUR sororities? Honestly, this puts us off from y'all even more.

The commenter "Black Debutante" wrote in to point out the real people who are going to have a bleak future: 

Poor girl, you actually sound a little threatened by the black women who are pledging. As an alum...who is in a predominately white sorority, I brought just as much (and in some cases MORE) than other girls in our house. Aside from my stellar recs and being valedictorian at my high school, I and others have an incredible lineage. Maybe you should depend a little less time generalizing a segment of the population and more time enriching your own life. Frankly, I am not trying to change your views, because clearly you are this way for a reason. But making blanket statements about a group of people simply makes you look like the ignorant one and not those you are targeting. Good luck to you-sounds like you are definitely going to need it, Sweetie.

Alison W. wanted to clarify that #NotAllSororityGirls are racist and that SMUgate is the exception, not the rule:

To the sorority woman who wrote this post: you do not deserve to be a Panhellenic woman. I am a gamma phi beta. I am a beautiful woman. To your concern of how you look to men, I also probably get more action than you do.

My black sisters are amazing people. I know amazing and inspiring black women who are accomplished artists, teachers, engineers, writers, and doctors.
My sorority accepts women of color with excitement.

Realize that MGC and national Panhellenic councils exist because white people are racist. Not because people of color were racist. Panhellenic did not allow women of color so the council was created.

Now we do. So my sorority gladly takes advantage of this extremely positive development.

Oh and by the way. Your sorority exists because of Gamma Phi Beta, the first ever sorority because all women were not allowed to join fraternities. So we created our own. Our meetings were forbidden. So we had them in secret. Hope your enjoying your sorority life thanks to us.

Good luck on recruitment. You just openly made your own sorority look terrible.

People are skeptical about whether or not the first posts were real, becausethey're just so overtly horrible. Here's hoping that the posters were trolls and that this thread is as fake as the rest of sorority life. But still: the fact that this could plausibly be real is scary.

When you're on Pinterest, it all seems so simple.

The Zola Story may go from viral sensation to the big screen—strippers, murder and all.

The Zola Story (If you don't know what that is, catch up here and heremight be turned into a movie. This news comes from a statement Zola gave to TMZ:

Unless you've been living under a rock this week, Zola gained global attention when she took to Twitter and told the story of her trip to Florida to strip with a "white bitch" named Jessica. Zola tells TMZ her story captivated execs at MTV, VICE, WME and a few independent film makers.

She also told them about her personal ambitions:

Zola says she'd like her own TV series about her days as a dancer and wants Meagan Good or KeKe Palmer to play her.  

"Independent film makers" means Wes Anderson, right? Please let that happen.

Zola, poet laureate. 

Pregnant Chrissy Teigen went on a Twitter rant after getting Fruity Pebbles-shamed.

Model and nipple activist Chrissy Teigen called out people who were criticizing her on Twitter, for what seems like the millionth time during her pregnancy. When will America learn?

Yesterday, Teigen shared an Instagram photo of her nightly pregnancy snack, a mixture of Fruity Pebbles and Cap'N Crunch. She captioned the picture, "Cap'n Pebbles cravings, nightly."

https://instagram.com/p/9aUWqGJjfk/

Then, as anyone—especially Chrissy Teigen—might have expected, a bunch of commenters chimed in with opinions about what she was eating. Specifically, people objected to a pregnant lady eating "dyed crap."

Teigen responded by saying she was also going to eat dyed tuna and dyed vodka soda. 

https://twitter.com/chrissyteigen/status/659747000175333377https://twitter.com/chrissyteigen/status/659753342176919556https://twitter.com/chrissyteigen/status/659753443318304768https://twitter.com/chrissyteigen/status/659753599266787329https://twitter.com/chrissyteigen/status/659753945405878272

This on-point rant shows a) why it's so important not to Fruity Pebbles shame innocent cereal-eaters and b) how lucky we are that Teigen never actually followed through on her vow to stop "preg tweeting."

Elderly couple writes to magazine and politely requests the definition of the word "milf."

A wonderfully sweet and polite senior couple wrote to The Economist to ask for the definition of the word "milf." They wrote in response to an article written by the magazine about the evolution of the pornography industry. The piece highlighted the digital changes for the industry, the very same that made Playboy decide to stop publishing nude pictures. The couple, one Dutch and one Italian, read that milf was the number one porn search term for the Netherlands and Italy, but were unfamiliar with the word and were afraid to search for it on the Internet. Bless. Their. Hearts.

Considerably experienced!

Dear Sir,

We are a senior Dutch-Italian couple, both of us with considerable international sex experience and, since reading your articles on pornography in your September 26th-October 2nd edition, we keep wondering what the meaning of "milf" is.

Apparently this the most searched term on porn sites in Holland and Italy, but we have absolutely no idea of what this is referring to or what this practice could be.

Could you please illuminate us...It is never too late to learn something new and enjoyable...and we are too old to accept to feel ourselves ignorant on these issues.

Needless to say, we did not want to Google the term "milf' in order not to be inundated with silly and unnecessary porn messages until the end of our days.

We are grateful in advance for your help and consideration. 

This is just the cutest thing ever. Only polite elderly people would write a printed letter to an editor, AND be afraid to Google a porn term for fear of racy targeted ads. It's also great that they don't want to feel behind the times, especially since they have "considerable international sex experience." Damn! Good for them. The editor must have had fun typing out the written response so they can be "illuminated" to the definition of the acronym.

An intern laughed at everyone's outrage after tweeting something insanely racist. Then she paid.

While the struggle to teach people that racism is wrong and that they should work to cast it from their hearts and minds is never-ending, it seems like we should all at least know by now not to post heinously racist things to social media. Right? If you are current enough to have a Twitter account, and know how to post to it, you should also know better than to be a total jackass on it. This is assuming you're not openly working for a hate group that will just high five you. However, college student Erika Escalante defied common wisdom and posted this:

https://twitter.com/abelsthot/status/658462801774538752

It sparked outrage across the Internet, as it should. That is a truly awful, racist tweet. So awful, it's mind-boggling that she thought she could get away with it. She even clapped back at all the people saying,"WTF," at her.

It seems like not only is Erika racist, she also forgot she has a job. Well, she did have a job. It didn't take long for folks to share her tweets with her employer, nutrition company Isagenix, and it took even less time for them to fire her ass.

Who's sorry now? Erika Escalante. Here she is apologizing for getting busted to Fox 10 News.

And the public flagellation hasn't ended. Some mysterious weirdo who isn't satisfied with Erika losing her job and eating crow on the evening news has started a Twitter account using her photo, with a very similar handle. They've been tweeting racial stuff to keep Escalante's spirit alive on social media, even though she's deleted all her personal accounts. This looks like who she might be talking about in the interview above:

It's a weird world where someone is accruing supporters from your terrible mistake.

Awesome dad Ryan Scott Miller of California has turned his son's wheelchair into the gold standard for Halloween costumes this year. Young Padawan Jeremy Miller no longer has a wheelchair; he has a Rebel Alliance snowspeeder like the ones featured in Star Wars Episode V: The Empire Strikes Back. The costume is complete with uniform, helmet, and fully functioning Nerf laser guns. FULLY FUNCTIONING NERF LASER GUNS.

Justin Bieber stormed off stage because his fans wouldn't let him clean the floor with a rag.

Justin Bieber stormed off stage at a show in Oslo, Norway because his fans wouldn't let him clean the floor. This is not a joke. One of the concertgoers in the front row spilled something on the stage, so Biebs grabbed a rag to clean it up (he probably didn't want to slip while he was busting some sick dance moves). As he was trying to clean, they kept getting in the way by trying to take the rag.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W7p9hQCX_sU

After a few moments, he simply left the stage with barely an explanation. This comes just a day after Bieber walked out of an interview because he was bored. He later posted an apology on Instagram, explaining that he's been exhausted lately:

https://instagram.com/p/9b_Ku7AvnM/?taken-by=justinbieber

Sadly it's Been a rough week for me, long days no sleep, while having to be "on" as they would say for cameras fans etc. In no way did I mean to come across mean, but chose to end the show as the people in the front row would not listen. Hopefully people will understand where I am coming from. I don't always handle things the right way but I'm human and I'm working on getting better at responding not reacting. Unfortunately people were affected by this as am I. For the people in the back I am so sorry and for anyone I may have disappointed im sorry. Sorry for wasting the tv people's time I'll be sure to make it up to you next time on tour.. With love Justin.

He just wants to wipe the floor like a regular person. Can't you vultures give him that?

Boy George allegedly said he slept with Prince.

Anyone can say they've slept with anyone, of course, but it's still pretty exciting to be an audience member on The Voice and hear Boy George claim he's been intimate with the artist formally known as "Prince, Who Has Not Had Sex With Boy George." According to one very gossipy fellow who witnessed the confession at a live audition taping, that's exactly what Boy George said. No one knows what Prince's response to these allegations are, but it's probably something like this:

https://instagram.com/p/9KXm1MGLb3/?taken-by=prince

Why share this juicy (probably made up) tidbit now? Oh, it just came up in conversation. Here's the story, according to "a source" via The Sun:

The stars, who joined Will.i.am and Kaiser Chiefs’ front man Ricky Wilson on the judging panel this year, were boasting about who they had collaborated with.

The Karma Chameleon hit maker [Boy George] started it, saying: “I have duetted with some of the greatest soul singers in history including Luther Vandross and Smokey Robinson.”

Paloma replied: “Well OK, if we’re throwing big soul names out there I’ve performed with Prince.”

To which George retorted: “Forget that, darling, I’ve slept with Prince.”

And the crowd went wild! At which point, producers pulled Boy George aside and told him he needed to do a back pedal faster than a trained bear riding a unicycle into the Grand Canyon. Boy George came out again and announced that he'd never actually slept with Prince, though he did have a picture of the singer on his wall. This didn't stop Will.i.am from high-fiving him all night to get the audience cheering again.

Meanwhile, everyone is waiting for a Prince comeback. As usual.

Monster of a man steals puck tossed to kid at NHL game, but the team makes up for it.

Buffalo Sabres coach Dan Bylsma tossed a puck over the glass behind the bench during a recent game against the Pittsburgh Penguins. The puck was intended for a cute little guy behind the Sabres bench, but instead it was intercepted by a demon or lesser imp from hell disguised in a human suit. At first, everyone assumed this grown man didn't notice the kid. But he totally noticed and knew exactly what he did, because he tucked the guilty proof in his pocket immediately. Fans watching the game from home immediately began tweeting at the Penguins, and they quickly went to work:

https://twitter.com/penguins/status/659885909270204416

The Penguins were absolutely on it, and they totally redeemed humanity by overloading the kid with fantastic (and expensive) NHL merchandise. It was hand-delivered by Iceburgh, the Penguins mascot.

Here he is decked out with his flashy new gear:

https://twitter.com/penguins/status/659904929272696832

It worked out much better for the little Penguins fan in the end. He received hugs, fist-bumps, and even the chance to give high-fives to players as they come out from the locker room. As for the guy that snatched the puck, the other fans likely treated him to audible and profanity-laden insults for the rest of the game.

Twitter is calling out Billboard for sexualizing a 2-year-old who happens to be North West.

It's easy to forget that the Kardashians are people, but when it comes to the little kids, leave their parents' sex tapes out of it. In linking to a story about 2-year-old North West saying "No pictures" to the paparazzi, Billboard included a photo of her with her tongue out that some saw as an allusion to her mom's sex tape.

People were creeped out and pissed, interpreting this poor image-caption combination as sexualizing North, comparing her licking a lollipop to her mom licking something else. 

https://twitter.com/annaleszkie/status/660067578455441408?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfwhttps://twitter.com/8ightpercent/status/660133070398488576https://twitter.com/See_Say_92/status/660068539529830400https://twitter.com/janetmock/status/660066542093250560https://twitter.com/Kahduna/status/660064841844056064?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw

After a few hours and a few hundred tweets, Billboard deleted the tweet and changed the photo. 

Come on, guys. You wouldn't even make something in the vicinity of an innuendo with any baby, and it should be no different when it comes to one who happens to have famous parents. 

When it comes to this 2-year-old, she herself put it best: "No pictures!"
