Pierce Brosnan's super cute #TBT of his wife shows there's an upside to marrying James Bond.
On Monday, Pierce Brosnan posted series a throwback picture tributes to his wife, Keely Shaye Smith. The couple have been together since 2001 and have two sons. He and Smith often post throwback pictures of themselves together:
Looks like they've been madly in love for a long time. In addition to posting lovely and romantic pictures, Brosnan posts a few random ones too:
OK, the bloody hands were from a movie shoot and he posted the seal because he was concerned for the environment. Everybody needs to throw in different pictures to mix up the sappy throwbacks once in awhile, even Pierce Brosnan. Turns out it is possible for rich gorgeous people to find love. Good job, you crazy kids.

Future First Son Eric Trump says waterboarding is basically just frat bro hazing.
At last Saturday's Republican debate, Donald Trump said he was super pro-torture and would "do worse than waterboarding." Eric Trump, The Donald's kid (but not the one The Donald said he would date) went on Fox News to talk about his father and American frats' relationship with torture.
The li'l Trump elaborated on Donald's statement by noting that torture by simulated drowning "quite frankly is no different than what happens on college campuses and frat houses every day."
It doesn't say on his Wikipedia page if Eric was in a fraternity, but it would be interesting to find out if he went to any parties that involved stuffing a wet cloth up someone's breathing passages, giving them the sensation of drowning and suffocation.

Dad writes touching letter to show his respect for his stay-at-home-mom fiancée, earn major points.
British dad Tony Emms wrote a touching letter on Facebook to his sleeping fiancée, a stay-at-home mom, that was soon shared over 14,000 times because, unlike a lot of stuff on the Internet about stay-at-home moms, the post was really sweet.
His letter (which is great in the heart department, but less so with grammar) reads:
I sometimes don't give this woman the credit she is due, when I come from work she is always "tired" now it's me who has been at work doing stuff all day, but lately I've been thinking what this amazing woman does while I'm out..surely she just sits with the baby and watches tv and has a chilled day right? NO is the answer, when I leave for work she fears woken up by me and has to Spring straight in to action to get up and get her self sorted for the hectic day she has...so gets up baby is kicking off cause he is hungry but so is she, she doesn't eat but baby does..then sits and plays with him, then changed a disgusting nappy, then plays again, he falls asleep..brilliant mummy can have a nap, no she doesn't she does the washing, cleans up baby's toys and starts washing the pots from the night before..baby wakes up and is hungry mummy hasn't had breakfast but she still doesn't eat she gets baby set for his lunch, after his lunch he then wants attention and plays...remember mummy still hasn't eaten..all the cleaning she done earlier is now time wasted as baby's toys are everywhere..I come home from working and get annoyed that o have to tidy up and say mummy hasn't done anything yet she has worked her ass of all day to make sure the baby is healthy and happy...if any other daddy's out there feel like me think about what you've done and what mummy has done. Respect the mother of your child. She is a special type of human that has given up everything to bring up your baby. I truly love my 2 sleeping baby's and they both deserve their rest.
Even though it's written in the kind of run-on sentence that would make even Virginia Woolf reach for a red pencil, it's a lovely sentiment. Let moms sleep!

Clothing company failed to realize having a black man model a 'Slave' shirt is not a good idea.
Even though the main goal of a clothing company is to make its products likable, companies sometimes make very, very unlikable marketing decisions. For example: clothing brand Wasted Heroes was recently selling a shirt in online retailer ASOS's marketplace, and this was the product image they chose to use:
Obviously, this terrible marketing decision did not sit well with people:
ASOS spoke to Mic and placed the blame on the manufacturer, Wasted Heroes. "Marketplace is a collection of independent sellers who must agree to our terms and conditions when they join," a spokesperson stated. "Whenever we find product that violates our policies we remove it immediately." ASOS did remove the image from the site, and Wasted Heroes has since weakly apologized and opted to advertise the shirt sans-model.
Alas, the shirt—which is part of a collection meant to make a statement on brands—is still stupid.

'Sports Illustrated' pats itself on the back for finally ogling a bigger swimsuit model.
Model Ashley Graham is the most successful plus-sized model in the game right now, bringing a message of body positivity to millions of people and positive publicity to any brand she's associated with—which now includes Sports Illustrated, as they've made Graham an official "rookie" Swimsuit Issue model.
Although this is Graham's first official year as a Swimsuit Issue "rookie," she did appear in the magazine last year in an ad, as well as this sexy video, both of which landed SI massive publicity even though she wasn't officially a model.
This was the cover last year, just so you're clear on what the normal SI model is:
Graham was also in the news recently for designing and modeling her own lingerie line at New York Fashion Week.
Graham is a very effective communicator about the issues that have both held women like her back and made her such a success now that she's broken through. Whatever you do, though, don't call her "a real woman."

Watch queer women try to guess what straight sex is like.
Recently, there have been videos of straight men touching penises for the first time, gay men touching vaginas for the first time, and straight men asking gay men about sex. Basically, with all of the interest in videos about other people's sex lives and sexual orientation, it was only a matter of time before someone (in this case, Mashable) made a video where queer women discuss what they think what straight sex is like. And in some cases, get it very, very wrong. Because no, a man's beard cannot get stuck on a woman's pubic hair like Velcro.*
* Right? Uh, it can't, right?

Kanye West finally snaps, burns his Twitter account to the ground with Bill Cosby tweet.
After already having a big social media day on Tuesday by teasing his new album title (T.L.O.P. is all he gave out) and issuing a nonsensical apology to Michael Jordan (for a lyric about selling more shoes?), Kanye West either left his phone unattended near a mischievous teenager or absolutely lost his remaining sanity.

People shared their worst Valentine's Day horror stories and they make being single look awesome.
Valentine's Day is supposed to be a nice day to celebrate love, romance, and that special someone who's the sole reason you haven't given up on humanity. But as everybody knows, it doesn't always go according to plan. Even if your plans get canceled or nobody brings you flowers, it won't compare to these Valentine's Day horror stories.
1. They call him "Mellow Yellow," quite rightly.
2. Hey neat, a letter from your girlfriend on Valentine's Day…
3. A rose is a rose is a mistake.
4. Ew, romance.
5. Her worst Valentine's Day.
6. This is how Men's Rights Activists are created.
7. A total accident.
8. A perfect Valentine's Day, circa 1972.
9. The theme of the evening was bubbles.
10. "Die Antwoord" is German for "I love you."
11. Women love a sensitive, Alan Alda type.
12. Waist deep in the big muddy.
13. St. Valentine and the terrible, horrible, very bad, no good day.

Here are the most popular questions people Google about your state. Sorry, Florida.
When you type into Google, the search engine usually tries to finish your sentence with the most popular queries. So Mental Floss investigated what happens when they type, "why does [state]..." into Google to see what autofill reveals about what people wonder about each part of the country. There are questions you'd expect, and some that leave you curious for more. Like, why do people think Montana hates the FBI?
It's a big fun game of trivia and geography mixed together. Here's the map broken down into regions (you can check out the full map at the bottom):
The Northeast
The Midwest
The West (plus Alaska and Hawaii)
The South

Sure, some of the questions were embarrassing, but they're not nearly as poor a reflection on America as the questions Googled by residents of each state.

Three-year-old barista is the world's youngest and definitely cutest.
This is Adler, who at three years old is Colorado's youngest and probably least legal barista. He's a coffee connoisseur who, under the watchful eye of his dad/boss, makes fancy coffees with an inarguably adorable smile. This video of Adler helping his dad make a decaf cappuccino, shot by filmmaker and Bindle Coffee regular Benjamin Dinsmore, has been watched more than 125,000 times on YouTube.
Andrew and Jenn Webb are Adler's parents and the owners of Bindle Coffee in Fort Collins. Webb told Australian coffee blog Beanhunter that Adler has been into coffee basically since he was born, since it's such a big part of his parents' lives. He's too young to drink coffee, but he's allowed to have a little taste now and then.
He's also too young to work—which is good, because who'd want to drink coffee made by solely a three-year-old? And there's no way this kid could handle the morning rush at this coffee shop—he can't even reach the cappuccino maker. Screw it, kid, you're fired. Go collect cute unemployment or something. You'll be able to get back to the exciting world of the service industry before you know it.

BBC show 'Crimewatch' got weird when a mugshot bore a striking resemblance to the host.
The BBC show Crimewatch regularly displays mugshots of the criminals it profiles, which are typically distinguishable from the hosts of the show. The other evening, however, the show got a little uncanny when host Jason Mohammamed stood next to a projected image of a man serving an 18-year sentence.
These are not the same people, though host Sophie Raworth looks a little worried. On the left is Mohammed. And the displayed image is that of Viktor Lakatos, who is seeking an appeal after being convicted for attacking an 89-year-old man in an attempted robbery of the elderly man's jewelry store.
Twitter loved the coincidence.
The host wasn't too bothered.
And in reality, the men do not always look that much alike.
The stars just happened to align to give Crimewatch viewers a brief moment of levity, before continuing their regularly scheduled programming (of nightmare-inducing stories.)

Ben Stiller's son did 'Blue Steel' at the 'Zoolander 2' premiere and it was really, really, ridiculously cute.
Unlike Derek Zoolander, who struggled to relate to his dad in their old mining town, Ben Stiller and Christine Taylor's son takes after his papa. Tuesday night was the Zoolander 2 premiere in New York City, and the whole Stiller clan walked the red carpet. Although Ben is the movie's director, co-screenwriter, and star, it was Quinlin Stiller who stole the show with his"Blue Steel."
Like father...
Like son:
Zoolander 2 will hit most theaters this Friday.

Baby whose dad is a twin can't figure out which dad is ‘Dada,' but he’s cool with two dads.
Stephen Ratpojanakul of New York has a 16-month-old son (Reed), and an identical twin brother (Michael). Recently, Michael was babysitting Reed, and when Stephen came to pick him up, Reed got a little (okay, a lot) confused as to which dad was his real dad. Stephen decided to make a video of the baby's bewildered reaction, which has now been viewed over 13 million times.
When your dad is a twin...
Posted by Stephen Ratpojanakul on Thursday, February 4, 2016
Stephen told BuzzFeed that Reed's not used to seeing him in glasses, so the brothers taking off their glasses just made it harder for the baby to tell them apart. But don't worry, Reed doesn't seem particularly upset—the more dads the merrier!

A maid of honor toasted her sister with 'Ice Ice Baby.' The woman's rap will not soon be forgotten.
Rachel Winterbottom, maid of honor at her sister Hayley O'Brien's wedding, chose to celebrate Hayley and new husband Paul with a toast befitting the rustic-chic wedding: a Vanilla Ice-inspired rap. As BuzzFeed reported, the couple and guests loved the "Ice Ice Baby" speech, which is littered with memories and inside jokes—but that doesn't mean outsiders can't enjoy the toast.
Winterbottom's lyrics didn't hold back. Here are a few choice lines: "Pisspot describes Hayley to be fair / Always on Facebook with her legs in the air / Classy my sister could be a WAG / Although this one time she was sick in her bag." (Pisspot means a heavy drinker and WAG stands for wives and girlfriends of footballers.)
By the end, Winterbottom was nicely sentimental, adding that she "couldn't wish for a better brother-in-law" and that her sister is "gorge in every way."
A good balance of jabs and kind words with a perfect amount of Vanilla Ice. Good luck to any prospective maid of honor who tries to top her.
