Kiddle.co is a “visual search engine for kids” that advertises itself as a safe and kid-appropriate way for kids to find articles. This week, folks on Twitter attacked the website for banning “bad" search terms such as: "gay," "menstruation," "puberty," and even "child abuse." You know, things kids are better off learning about on the playground.

And if you type “queer” in the search bar, this message will pop up:

You have entered an LGBT related search query. Please realize that while Kiddle has nothing against the LGBT community, it’s hard to guarantee the safety of all the search results for such queries. We recommend that you talk to your parent or guardian about such topics.

Many had criticized the site, saying this policy will prevent kids from finding important information on LGBT issues. It's further complicated by the fact that kids are allowed to search for such potentially nightmare-inducing topics as “genocide,” but apparently “lesbian” is considered a bad term. 

According to the Metro, “the site has changed its policy and removed the message if people search for ‘gay’ or ‘transgender’ – but some searches, such as ‘Gay porn’, still bring up the warning.”

Yeah. All searches with the word "porn" should do that, geniuses! Weirdly, the site never had a problem with kids searching whether or not actor James Dean was bisexual.
 

According to CBC News, "Other users noticed some inconsistencies in what terms it allows and what it blocks. 'Suicide' won't give you any results, but 'self-harm' will."

The site uses a custom Google search bar, but the BBC reports that it is not a Google product and that it was set up by a site called Freaking News. Hopefully, kids will stray from going to the dark side of Kiddle, which might result in things they never tell their parents.

Jimmy Kimmel's "Lie Witness News" segments consistently prove that people are willing to lie about anything if it might get them on television, and his segment last night was particularly depressing for democracy. The team asked people who they voted for on that Super Tuesday morning in California, and if their polling place was crowded. Unfortunately for everyone who answered him (in astonishing detail) about their voting experience, California didn't actually vote yesterday. It doesn't vote in the primaries until June. So they were lying. 

 The "I lied" sticker is a nice touch.

Brad Holmes celebrated Valentine's Day with his girlfriend, Jenny Davies, by getting down on one knee and proposing that she make him a cup of tea. As far as viral pranks go, it looked like poor Davies fell for it. While Davies quickly got back at her boyfriend a tiny bit by serving him up a crap cup of tea, she went the extra mile a few weeks later and faked a pregnancy test to really show Homes—a move that unsurprisingly did not entertain everybody.

After Brad finally understood what was even happening, it took him awhile to believe his girlfriend. Then he was (kind of) pleased about her "pregnancy."

A lot of their Facebook followers failed to see the humor in it and reacted with even more indignation than Holmes when he first realized Davies was "taking the piss," or whatever British people say.

This is disgusting I like your videos but this is beyond okay there are people out there that would love a baby and you pretend to be pregnant yes OK he fake proposed but pretensions ng your pregnant wrong in the head

Thats shady as hell dont see why people lie about being pregnant so many woman loose babys and theres you sat there joking about it

Love u guys banter but I don't think pretending to be pregnant is something u should joke about, just my opinion.

Love your vids. But that was bang out of order.. Faking a pregnancy is a disgusting thing to do, coming from someone that had a miscarriage it's heartbreaking trying to get pregnant and get negative tests for months on end!

Some stood up for the couple.

I am in hospital right now it will be my 3rd night in after a miscarriage with my twins on Friday night  This actually perked my mood abit and I'm extra sensitive to everything usually, especially now being extra sensitive. I get some people will be offended but just move on or unfollow there is no need for some of the comments people are putting at all. Brad fxxked with her feelings in the worst way a man can so she did this back. If Jen lied about a miscarriage or something very sensitive then I'd be backing you all the way! Keep it up guys I love you videos 

If you're gonna get offended DON'T WATCH it's not set to hurt people... It's a prank on Brad I know there's many ladies who can't get pregnant or sadly miscarry but she didn't set out to upset you and in no way does this diminish the pain you ladies go through xxx

Brad got involved.

Hold up... This wasn't meant to offend anyone what so ever or to be disrespectful in the slightest. If is caused offence to anyone then I apologise. The joke was on Brad no one else or anyone else's situation.​

If anyone should be offended it's me ( Brad) I was pissed off but I found the funny side. Your judging Jen and us on what this video is but you don't know Jens history. Quick to assume. Jen wouldn't of done this to offend anyone it's not in her character. So once again we apologise if you've been offended but the joke was on me and no one else.

In the end, the comments section ended up being far more dramatic than the video itself.

Alyson Tabbitha is the kind of cosplayer who is so good you'll confuse her for the real thing. Her latest work, inspired by two iconic Johnny Depp characters, only further proves just how damn good she is.

Here she is as Jack Sparrow.

And here's Tabbitha's equally great Edward Scissorhands cosplay, as both Johnny Depp and Winona Ryder's characters.

The before and after photo highlights just how impressive the transformation is.

Here's a behind-the-scenes shot, and no, she is not also cosplaying the pug or chicken.

She does an insanely good Princess Padme too.

If you want to see how she does it so you can botch the look at a future costume party, check out her Jack Sparrow make-up tutorial.

Vanity Fair nudged celebrities on their way to the annual Oscars after-party with a transcript and had them act out Kanye West tweets for the camera. Some stars took the challenge better than others. Whoopi Goldberg immediately harnessed her Oscar-winning acting chops, J.J. Abrams needed some more direction before tapping in to his own Kylo Ren intensity, and Monica Lewinsky asked what a kazoo was. Make of that what you will.

Last Friday, breastfeeding moms occupied a shopping mall food court in Bendigo, Australia to their support for fellow mother Luci White. Ms. White was told to leave that same mall after some folks complained that she was breastfeeding in public. They named their protest "Boobs for Babies."

Despite the previous incident, the mall employees and shoppers who were present during the protest supported the nursing mothers, with one saying, "If the people don't like a lady breastfeeding, they can always grab their pie, their latte, and go sit in the [bathroom] where they expect a mother to go and feed her baby." Here's a video of the protest, below.

Who can argue with a whole army of breastfeeding moms? Of course, if Kim Kardashian can't convince you that breastfeeding in public is a normal thing, it's doubtful any number of Australian moms can stop you from thinking otherwise.

After Kanye West—an avid supporter of both paid streaming service Tidal and Twitter rants—revealed he used a torrenting site to download the music software Serum, musical artist Deadmau5, who's a co-owner of the company that makes Serum, threw out a few mocking tweets. Jezebel reported that this led Kanye to tweet many times over. Here's how Deadmau5 triggered a Kanye rant:

To say Kanye dragged Deadmau5—with whom he publicly endorsed Tidal—through the mud in response would be an understatement. 

Kanye, remember the good old days when you and Deadmau5 stood together?

Deadmau5 has yet to respond about his invitation to work North West's birthday party (her b-day is in June, so Kanye is on top of planning). Deadmau5 should at least consider it. The party will probably be super fun.

The intersection of UK hip-hop artist Tinie Tempah and Twitter's most prolific sub-tweeter, J.K. Rowling, began with an innocent question from perhaps the world's only avid enthusiast of both:

She's referring to Tinie Tempah's new single, "Girls Like," which features the refrain, "Tell J.K that I'm still rolling." This has little to do with anything girls actually like and more to do with Rowling's last name sounding like the drug and general fun-time phrase, "I'm rolling." Rolling/Rowling was nonplussed:

You hear that? It's the sound of Tinie Tempah's cue to prove he can go toe to toe with anyone on Harry Potter:

Good job, Tempah, because that actually makes sense! If Rowling had spent more time in Divination class, she could have foreseen her send-up on the grime scene. But J.K. does not play with that Divination nonsense:

Luckily, Tempah's spent time freestyling on the streets of London, so he knows how to craft a comeback. And he also apparently scored off the charts on his OWLs.

Ohhhh! Tempah not only takes the Divination thing in check, he's managed to get an unbelievable amount of exposure to any of the six million people who follow Rowling's handle. 

But... can you use a Time Turner to go forward in time? Don't Hermione and her crew only use it to go backwards? Where does forward time-turning show up in the canon text? Ohhhh, snap! (Editor's note: Mitchell has unilaterally declared a "snap" here, when really you need a third party to decide if something is worthy of a snap.)

Maybe that technicality—pending a closer reading of The Prisoner of Azkaban, of course—is why the U.K.'s OG J.K. simply stopped responding. Or maybe it's because she's busy talking to another one of her six million fans.

Either way, future rappers looking to challenge the throne should take heed: don't send for Rowling unless you want a ton of free publicity. Which simply demands the question, when will the Devilman weigh in?

Disney's animated movie Zootopia, which comes out Friday, has gotten good advance reviews to the effect of "fun for the whole family." And apparently, that's even true if your family is made up of furries. (Furries, as you probably were forced to know by now, are adults who enjoy dressing up like anthropomorphic animals for fun or as part of their identity. And for sex stuff. But not exclusively sex stuff!). BuzzFeed got their hands on a truly glorious email that Allied Integrated Media, a digital marketing group hired by Disney, sent to a group of furries planning to attend the family film. It's very encouraging:

Hello Furlife,

My name is [name redacted] and I am representing Walt Disney Studios. Our next film being released is ZOOTOPIA and it is about a world inhabited by animals all living in peace together. The pictures of the members of your group all looking like animals are incredible and align perfectly with the film. All of you could live peacefully in Zootopia. It would be great for you all to share these photos on social media platforms such as Instagram and Twitter. You can take new photos of each other and share these new photos online using the hashtags #Zootopia and #ZooU. You can be representing ZOOTOPIA and the participants can receive film based items such as the poster and rabbit or fox crowns. This can be a lot of fun and your group seems perfect to participate. If you are interested start posting the photos today and email me at xxxxxx@alliedim.com. Thanks!

"All of you could live peacefully in Zootopia." Honestly beautiful.

As BuzzFeed reporter Katie Notopoulos noted, furries really have identified with this film about a bunch of anthropomorphized animals who wear human clothes for a while now:

(Can a furry email jaime@someecards.com and let us know what that tweet means?)

But some furries are a little ho-hum about the whole thing.

Furries have standards, okay Disney? Even if your trailers look as sexy as this:

At first glance, this photo of redditor narcolepsyinc drawing with his daughter seems perfectly sweet. But, as your eyes scroll down, you may be disconcerted by what looks like some very unnatural proportions. It's only at third glance that things will finally make sense, but that's far too many times to glance at a picture. See for yourself:

narcolepsyinc added this caption to his photo:

My wife took a picture of my daughter drawing with me. At first glance, it looks like she's standing next to me, and I have very dainty feet.

Once you get it, it's not hard to see what causes the illusion. His daughter's jacket is hanging down, making it seem like she's standing. Meanwhile, her legs and the chair are shadowed, making it plausible that her feet are on a different perspective plane. An expert in visual perception would probably be very excited by this photo, but listening to him or her describe why would be boring.

When people talk about our Founders, one thing they tend to forget is that our Founders did not trust "people" in general. They put a lot of barriers in between the masses and real power, because Democracy is a double-edged sword—and you'd probably feel pretty nervous if you saw a bunch of idiots waving double-edged swords around. For better or worse (OK, fine, it's better), we have put that sword in everyone's hand, which makes it all the more crucial that you, a non-idiot, vote. So, to motivate you non-idiots to get your non-idiot butts to the polls in November, regardless of who you're voting for, here's a healthy sampling of the kinds of idiots who are encouraging other idiots on Facebook and other social media sites to think idiot thoughts so they can usher in an idiot revolution. Idiots.

1. Starting with celebrities, let's not forget B.o.B.'s recent flat-earth meltdown.

2. The person writing this post: definitely an idiot. The person driving the Jeep? 50/50.

3. This is why we can't have nice things, like kids not dying of measles.

4. FACT: Science is hard.

5. Makes you think.

6. And yet, they went there.

7. Those poor children.

8. Facebook friends are easy come, easy go.

9. Good luck!

10. What a way to come out.

11. A turducken of wrong.

12. If you're going to take a picture while driving and you shouldn't, at least hide the odometer to make everyone less worried.

13. This entire list could just be people being fooled by Onion articles.

14. Seriously.

15. These are normal NBC colors.

16. We can provide you FOOD to cook, not Tim Cook. 

17. For everything, there is a corresponding paranoia.

When a character suddenly dies on your favorite TV show, you go through the usual stages of grief: shock, sadness, hoping it's a dream sequence, Facebook petition, reruns, Twitter rant, and, finally, acceptance. Questions arise when a fan-favorite is suddenly cut from the story line. Is it just for ratings, or is there a bigger behind-the-scenes drama going on? Here are 12 TV stars who were killed off for reasons that may surprise you. 

1. Susan on Seinfeld

Heidi Swedberg played George Costanza's fiancée Susan. She was killed off for apparently "lacking chemistry" with Jason Alexander. Susan died doing what she loved: licking poisonous glue on envelopes of wedding invitations. 

2. Matthew on Downton Abbey 

If you're still trying to recover from Matthew Crawley's sudden death on Downton Abbey, you are not alone. The actor, Dan Stevens, wanted off the show, so the writers killed him off in a car accident. Simply devastating.

3. Charlie on Two and a Half Men

Back when Charlie Sheen was #WINNING, he said a bunch of bad things about Two and a Half Men creator Chuck Lorre. Charlie was killed off when a train hit him and he exploded "like a balloon full of meat."

4. Chef on South Park

Isaac Hayes was hilarious as Chef on South Park, but he couldn't handle the heat in the kitchen when the show decided to poke fun at Scientology. Chef died violently by falling off a bridge, smacking boulders, getting impaled by a branch, and finally having his extremities ripped off by a mountain lion and a grizzly. 

5. Prue on Charmed

Bad girl Shannon Doherty was written off of 90210 for having a Brenda/Kelly feud IRL. Her next big role was on Charmed, where the actress couldn't get along with her costar Alyssa Milano. She was killed off the show when a Fabio/Thriller demon shot lighting out his hands and put her though a wall. 

You need to watch this video of her death to truly remember how cheesy this show was:

6. Eddie on Cheers

Jay Thomas, the actor who played Carla's husband Eddie on Cheers, thought it would be funny to publicly call Rhea Perlman ugly on his radio show. The writers didn't agree. They killed off Eddie in freak Zamboni accident.

7. T.R. Knight and Patrick Dempsey on Grey's Anatomy

Shonda Rhimes killed off Dr. O'Malley and Dr. McDreamy after they expressed they weren't happy with the direction of their characters on the show. Knight got smashed by a bus in 2009, and six years later, McDreamy got creamed by a car when it was his time to go.

8. Marissa From The OC

Mischa Barton, who played Marissa Cooper in the teen drama The OC, wanted out of her contract to pursue movie roles. Her character died in the arms of her bad-boy boyfriend after a fiery car crash. 

9. Harrison on Scandal

Columbus Short, who played Harrison, found himself in a real life scandal when his wife charged him with domestic violence. He was quickly killed off.

10. Bo on Days of Our Lives

While people constantly die (and return from the dead) on soap operas, fans were heartbroken in 2015 when Bo Brady died after 32 years on Days of Our Lives. Peter Reckell, who played Bo, said he wanted to move on to other things, but fingers crossed, his evil twin will come back someday and re-marry Hope.

11. Edie on Desperate Housewives

Nicollette Sheridan played Edie Britt on the ABC series, but she couldn't get along with her costars or the showrunner Marc Cherry. Edie crashed her car into an electric pole and got electrocuted by the wires. Talk about a shocking death.

Which of these TV deaths freaked you out the most?

After a few months of rumors, Sarah Paulson, 41, confirmed in a New York Times story on March 2 that she's dating actress and playwright Holland Taylor, 73. Paulson, star of American Horror Story, American Crime Story, and probably someday American Fantasy Story,* discussed her sexuality and dating history, telling the paper that "What I can say absolutely is that I am in love, and that person happens to be Holland Taylor." They've been together for about a year.

This isn't the first time that Paulson has dated an older woman; she previously dated Cherry Jones, who was 18 years her senior. As to why she likes dating people who are older than she is, Paulson noted "I think there’s a greater appreciation of time and what you have together and what’s important, and it can make the little things seem very small."

Paulson also addressed in the interview that she understands why people want to make news out of her love life: “My choices in romantic partners have not been conventional, and therefore the idea that it is ‘other’ makes it compelling.” It doesn't say in the article whether or not she followed that with, "Now, can we please go back to talking about American Crime Story?"

* It's just The People vs. OJ Simpson again, except the court case is decided by magic and instead of saying "He'll never stop being the Juice!" Schwimmer says "He'll never stop being the Juice! Unless he gets eaten by a dragon."

Former model and apparent Dr. Oz devotee Cheryl Tiegs, 68, recently confessed that she wasn't happy that Sports Illustrated is "glamorizing full-figured women" by putting plus-size model Ashley Graham (who doesn't like being referred to as "plus-size") on one of three different swimsuit issue covers this year. Tiegs said the choice wasn't "healthy." On Wednesday, after walking the runway during Paris Fashion Week, Graham, 28, responded to Tiegs' (highly misinformed) comments.

She told E! News, "Cheryl Tiegs may have said what she said, and it may have hurt a lot of people's feelings but my skin is so thick." She went on, "I kind of rolled my eyes, I was like, 'Oh whatever, another one of these ladies'... There are too many people thinking they can look at a girl my size and say that we are unhealthy. You can't, only my doctor can!"

On Monday, Tiegs apologized on Twitter—sort of.

But Graham is not having it. "I've never personally heard from her. She said her comment about me, then never heard a follow up. People are saying she apologized. But I never heard one."

And if she should run into Tiegs? "I will go up to her and say hello, and all the SI girls, I've always looked up to them. They are classic, amazing, beautiful women and it's a shame that we have to bring other people down, but that's why I'm here. I've got to bring other women up."

Of course, Twitter users had a lot to say about Tiegs' comments, too.

Morgan Freeman's exceptional voice radiates dignity, and has been used to both play God and explain the March of the Penguins. So naturally Jimmy Kimmel asked Freeman to narrate the only thing gawkier and more awkward than penguins trying to mate in the wild: tourists using selfie sticks on Hollywood Boulevard.

"Just two grown-ass men taking pictures of themselves on a f*cking stick"—it's the tourist in their natural habitat. 

While Republican Mitt Romney may have failed to become president, he did succeed in running a campaign without unleashing America's racist id and proposing bans of entire groups of people. As the GOP establishment watches the "Party of Lincoln" be hijacked by a human hate crime, their last presidential candidate is making a speech today in Salt Lake City, Utah, to try and squash the animated pumpkin that is Trump.

A version of the speech was leaked to the press, and has some impressive burns, with Romney calling Trump a phony and a fraud.

Here's what I know. Donald Trump is a phony, a fraud. His promises are as worthless as a degree from Trump University. He's playing the American public for suckers: He gets a free ride to the White House and all we get is a lousy hat. …

His domestic policies would lead to recession. His foreign policies would make America and the world less safe. He has neither the temperament nor the judgment to be president. And his personal qualities would mean that America would cease to be a shining city on a hill.

Whether you voted for or against him four years ago, you have to agree with him here.

Naturally, Trump fired back at him on Twitter right away:

Trump then threw Romney's past campaign back into his face, which is admittedly quite awkward:

Twitter is both excited and confounded by the fact that Trump has Made Romney Relevant Again.

Oh, how naive we all were in 2012, back when Mitt Romney was the problem. How strange that now he's trying to be the solution.

Many pregnant women have spoken out about how strangers feel the need to comment on their bodies, but even after the baby has left the womb, nosy people still feel it's their place to share negative thoughts. Giovanna Fletcher, wife of Tom Fletcher of English pop band McFly, experienced this firsthand 11 days after giving birth to her second son, Buddy Bob. Fletcher recounted the bizarre experience on her Instagram.

A few days ago I had a near stranger point at my stomach, laugh and say 'Oh look, Mummy's still got her tummy'. This was eleven days after giving birth. I was so shocked I laughed. But the words have stuck with me. Obviously. It wasn't left there either as there was another comment about my face 'slimming down'. More than anything, I was baffled over the stranger's need to share her thoughts... Yes, I still have a bump. But that bump kept my little baby boy safe for a whole nine months. That bump has filled my world with even more love and light than I knew possible. That bump is a miracle worker... My bump will slowly go over time, but I'll never stop being thankful to it and my body for everything it's given me. #spreadlove ❤️ xx

Was that "stranger" a small child? Because that sounds like something that only a five-year-old would think is okay to say.

Perhaps the person thought that because of Fletcher's fame it was okay to cruelly mock her for not adhering to the ridiculous standard celebs set of immediately re-gaining one's pre-baby body. That's as good of an excuse as "the dog ate my homework." At least Fletcher had a good and very public comeback for this acquaintance.

In what may be the first win for soda in a long time, a Louisiana FedEx driver used an outdoor soft drink vending machine to protect herself as a tornado obliterated the building she sought for shelter. ABC News has released intense security footage of the event. The driver, Kyra Johnson, escaped miraculously unharmed.

As you can see, the rest of the building did not fare as well as Johnson did, who "wedged herself between the outside of the wall of a local hardware store and a soda machine." She told ABC just how lucky she felt to survive, let alone escape without a single scratch.

I just said, ‘God what do I do, what do I do,’ so I grabbed onto the door and that's where I was standing until it finally stopped.

I could have been blown, ripped away...but nothing, nothing touched me. Thank God I'm here.

ABC's report also said the National Weather Service categorized the tornado as an EF3, meaning its wind speed clocked in between 135 and 165 miles per hour.

Who would've thought a vending machine would be the perfect place to hide from that monster? 

It makes the ending of Twister, where the main characters tie a leather belt to an old pipe and let a tornado pass right over them, seem all the more believable.
