“Can you tell me how I can have a threesome with my wife?” In a video posted by BuzzFeed on Sunday, one sex worker reveals that's one question you should never ask a sex worker. The series of interviews with sex workers also covers other questions to avoid (all the ones you want to ask, sorry), misconceptions people have about sex work, and what it's like working in the adult film industry.

The conversation quickly turned to decriminalizing sex work. “If you really want to end trafficking, you need to decriminalize sex work,” said one adult performer. Currently, commercial sex is a criminal offense everywhere in the country except for a few counties in Nevada.
Folks in the comments section were divided over the issue. One person said, “By legalizing prostitution, human traffickers will just be able to get away with what they are doing and many girls would be forced into the industry against their will.” But another person fired back, saying that "By legalizing it (prostitution) they must regulate it. This includes having a record with everyone working there, and obviously being old enough to work. It would be easier to have control over them.”
Poet Brian Bilston shared his powerful poem on social media, and it echoes the harsh view people carry about refugees, and then flips it to shed light on the issue:
Refugees
They have no need of our help So do not tell me These haggard faces could belong to you or me Should life have dealt a different hand We need to see them for who they really are Chancers and scroungers Layabouts and loungers With bombs up their sleeves Cut-throats and thieves They are not Welcome here We should make them Go back to where they came from They cannot Share our food Share our homes Share our countries Instead let us Build a wall to keep them out It is not okay to say These are people just like us A place should only belong to those who are born there Do not be so stupid to think that The world can be looked at another way
(now read from bottom to top)
Bilston posted the poem on both Twitter and Facebook, where it was shared thousands of times, and scored a coveted J.K. Rowling retweet.
It's a topic that polarises opinions and so to be able to take one extreme approach and then play it back on itself to come up with a far more humane position gave it its power, I think.
With regards to the crisis, you're not defined on whether you see the glass half-full or half-empty, but if you read the poem forwards or backwards.
Ashton Kutcher and Jimmy Kimmel aren't perfect Uber passengers, as both found out while comparing their Uber ratings on Monday's Jimmy Kimmel Live. Kutcher's excuse for his decent-but-not-great rating involves a vodka-heavy night out with Mila Kunis' dad, which may or may not have ended with him blacking out and needing to be carried into his house. No, it was not a Punk'd prank.

Kimmel slightly beats out Kutcher's 4.79 stars with an even 4.8 stars, probably for no reason other than Kutcher starred in The Butterfly Effect.
Earlier this month, Kaylie Cyr was working her shift at the Buffalo Wild Wings in Portland, Maine, when she noticed her patrons left behind an envelope containing a whopping $1,700. She knew it was not a super-generous tip, and that neither gentleman at the table was planning on returning to eat $1,700 worth of wings.
Cyr handed the envelope into her manager. The owner of the envelope, Glenn Morse, later called the restaurant to see if he'd left it there but the manager was uncertain of the identity of the honest waitress:
When I tried to follow up to find out who returned the money, [the manager] said nobody left a name.
Absolutely, I would do the same thing if I found the money again. It definitely wouldn't feel right keeping the money if it belonged to someone else. I know if it was my money, I'd be happy if someone returned it to me, so that was kind of my incentive.
When Morse retrieved his envelope at the restaurant, he rewarded Cyr with a $100 bill. The only loose end to the story is that he never explained why he had an envelope stuffed with so much cash. March Madness bets? Bribe? Either way, everything turned out well for all parties involved.
When a homeless man asked the owner of a cafe in Minnesota for spare change, he didn’t expect to get a job offer instead. According to a viral Facebook post, Abi’s Cafe owner Cesi said the man (named Marcus) entered her restaurant and asked for money. When Cesi asked him why he didn't have a job, the man shared a tragic backstory that led him to "stealing and asking for money."
In the post last Friday, Cesi said she offered Marcus a job since the cafe was understaffed the day he came in. "His eyes opened wide and his smile made my day," she wrote.
He came in to the cafe one day asking me for some $$. I looked at him and asked him "why don't you have a job, you know nothing is given to me for free right? he said "Well, I have a lot of felonies and no one wants to hire me for that, so now I had to turn myself to the streets and get money the only way I know, Stealing and asking for money. I was short staff that day. So I asked him " you want to work? I have a job for you! His eyes opened wide and his smile made my day!!!! He said I'll do anything for some food. So now for almost 2 weeks he been on time for his two hour shift.... helping take trash, washing dishes etc. Once I pay him guess what he does? He buys food from my restaurant(HE DECIDES TO PAY) because it makes him feel good ! He gets a discount!!!!! Do something nice for someone today and don't judge them just because they out there asking for money for we dont know their situation... some deserve another shot. God gave me this blessing so why can't I bless others? ;p this is what should break the internet, We want change? Well, start by making one team #cesiabi This goes more into details http://www.cbsnews.com/…/minnesota-cafe-owner-shows-homele…/
Cesi said Marcus (who's worked in the restaurant for two weeks now) has never been late for his two-hour shift. She said that his job duties include taking out the trash and washing dishes at the cafe. "Once I pay him, guess what he does? He buys food from my restaurant," Cesi said.
"We don't know their situation... some deserve another shot. God gave me this blessing so why can't I bless others?" She said. "...this is what should break the internet."
Cesi's story is one of many that show how one person's small act of kindness can help turn someone else's life around. Of course, it doesn't always work out so well.
Kristen Stewart, who once said about her sexuality "Google me, I’m not hiding," is apparently now dating the French singer Stéphanie “Soko” Sokolinski. Great, great, they're very cute together. Except that, in a plot twist worthy of Twilight, Soko apparently also once dated Stewart's ex, Robert "Edward Cullen" Pattinson.
Renesmee is going to be really screwed up by this.
Three nights in, I went out and met a girl who was like ‘Hey, I like your music, I work for a label and we would love to sign you. Where are you staying, do you need a place to stay?’ and I was like ‘Yeah I do’ That same night I had a blind date with Robert Pattinson!
On Monday, Jimmy Kimmel learned that Nova Scotia's Trailer Park Boys shouldn't be given control of expensive broadcast equipment the hard way. Kimmel's poor director, Andy, ended up fudge-faced and drugged as Ricky, Julian, and Bubbles tried (and failed) to run Jimmy Kimmel Liveon their own.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P7KSZxa3BMY
The Trailer Park Boys are running the promotional gauntlet for the 10th season of their show, which Netflix released yesterday and hopefully includes even more CGI sharks and flame effects along with the snippet of Snoop Dogg you can see in the trailer below.
During her concert in Glasgow last Friday, Adele apparently told fans she grew a beard and named it Larry. According to The Mirror, Adele said, “When I got pregnant [with her son, Angelo], I had so much testosterone in me that I grew a beard. It’s not a joke. I actually do have a beard."
Adele, apparently after a shave.
Before mentioning her own wonderful beard, Adele seemingly discussed how incredibly hairy her partner Simon Konecki is to her lovely fans. “There are a lot of good beards here. My man’s got a good beard and trims it sometimes in summer. It really annoys me, but I do have a beard myself. I understand when it gets hot," Adele expressed.
Thanks to art director Dillon St. Paul’s impeccable Photoshop skills, this is what Adele would probably look like if she had a full-grown beard:
Undoubtedly, the 27-year-old singer loves her beard: “I’m proud of it. I call it Larry. I only cut it last night. It’s true, honestly," she said.
Adele's beard is a reminder to all women that they too can grow fuzzy smooch stiflers and give their hirsute boyfriends a taste of their own hairy medicine.
If fans of the hit '90s sitcomThe Nannyhad their way, Fran Fine and Max Sheffield would probably still be living in Manhattan, totally in love, getting into all sorts of silly antics. But until there's a proper reunion for The Nanny (or better yet, a spin-off series), they'll just have to settle for these photos of Fran Fine Fran Drescher, Maxwell Sheffield Charles Shaughnessy, and Sylvia Fine Renée Taylor hanging out together.
Charles Shaughnessy & Fran Drescher together for Renée Taylor's birthday last weekend at Fran's house.
The three former costars got together at Drescher's home to celebrate Taylor's 83rd birthday and Shaughnessy uploaded the photos to his Facebook page. He even jokingly referred to Taylor as his "mother-in-law" in a few captions, which will make your heart yearn to watch a "Nick at Nite" marathon (which still exists, believe it or not).
They look amazing.
Another photo from an evening with the mother in law! Happy Birthday Renee!! with Fran Drescher Charles Shaughnessy and #ReneeTaylor
The pictures caused a response as big as Fran Fine's hair. Fans of the show commented on the photographs, naturally demanding more of The Nanny. C'mon Netflix. Everyone knows '90s nostalgia basically sells itself.
Who here wants them to bring back The Nanny like they did with Full House
OMG love all of you!! Come back and do a reunion show please!!!!!!
They should do a netflix revival.... i miss the nanny
The show has been off the air for 15 years and hasn't announced any plans to return with new episodes or a reunion show, but one can dream.
Until then, enjoy one of the best television theme songs in history.
These women tried wearing remote-controlled vibrating panties for a week, as a part of BuzzFeed's ongoing series of making their employees do things that would result in a series HR violation at any other workplace. As you might expect from a gimmicky sex toy, the end results were more silly than sexy.

"Men are going to become irrelevant," one woman proclaims about the exciting futuristic sex-toy-filled tomorrow that awaits the world. You'll probably be doubtful, especially if the alternative is a sex toy that falls out when you exercise.
Everybody wants to be "with it," even if they’re so not "with it" that they use phrases like “with it.” Moms are a perfect example. These days, every heroic, hardworking mom has a smartphone and a social media account, and they're not afraid to use them to embarrassingly mangle Millennials’ slang terms.
1. Stay thirsty.
And hungry.
2. MT…SS!
Profanity turns to regular parental anxiousness.
3. We are all of us bae.
And OMFG stands for "oh mom, freakin' grand!"
4. Grandma always was DTF.
RIP, DTF, SOS.
5. So is dad.
She had to be at some point, as she is a mom.
6. #hashtag
Solid effort.
7. AF AF.
Spoken like a true poet.
8. Mom text?
Or dad joke?
9. A teachable moment.
Dopest 7th grade class in the city.
10. A whole different meaning.
You only live ONCE.
11. MILF alert!
Your mom is a MILF and a MILF.
12. Double MILF alert!
No, Blanche is the horny one. Rose is the dumb one.
April Fool's Day is the time when everybody thinks they ought to stage a big, hilarious, good-natured prank to be enjoyed by all. The problem is that most people are not funny or clever, and elaborate pranks are a terrible idea for almost everyone. Use this handy flowchart to figure out if you're the kind of person who can get away with it.
One of the problems with dying, other than that whole "no longer getting to enjoy life" thing, is that you might still take up physical space. This is true even if you minimize that physical space by becoming to a pile of ashes. Instead of being an urn burden (aka a "b-urn-den") on your loved ones after you die, you should plan ahead to have your ashes made into one of these actual items that you can put actual ashes in. They might not all be useful, but they are, at the very least, an unusual and/or good way to horrify the more delicate members of your family (because that's everyone's goal after they die, right?).
1. Diamonds
Mom looks great!
"Diamonds are a girl's best friend" is a statement you can make literal if you have your ashes turned into diamonds (or other gems) and then give them to your BFF. LifeGem takes your ashes (or your hair) and turns them into manmade diamonds, as in diamonds made from Man.
LifeGem's diamonds are also great if you want to take your dead wife and secretly have your new wife wear her on your finger, because you definitely don't have any issues and are totally ready to love again.
2. A Tattoo
Before you were born, you were just a gleam in your mother's eye. After you die, you'll just be a skull on a cool dude's wrist.
If you want to literally get under someone's skin, many tattoo artists will mix ashes with tattoo ink on request. The tattoo could even be of a pile of ashes, if you want to forever be remembered in your final form. This tattoo studio blog has a couple pictures of memorial tattoos made with ashes. They look...like tattoos.
3. An Hourglass
For when you're late, but in the dead way.
Whether you were highly punctual in life or the exact opposite, putting your ashes into one of these hourglass keepsake urns is a great way to remind loved ones that while your time has run out, you can still literally count down the hours into eternity.
4. Fireworks
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PpQMlSJqLHU
If your biggest regret in life is "I wish I had scared more dogs," then this is the end for you. Multiple companies, including Heavens Above Fireworks, Heavenly Stars Fireworks, and Angels Flight will scatter your ashes by loading them into fireworks so your loved ones can watch you explode and then rain down upon them. The video above is an actual memorial fireworks display from Heavens Above Fireworks, using the remains of someone named Ruby.
5. Bullets
And you'll finally look good in belts.
Make "shot through the heart, and you're to blame" even more literal by having your ashes put in a bullet casing. Well, casings. This process gives you a lot of literal bang for your buck (or the buck your loved one is shooting at). According to Holy Smoke, which provides the service, "1 Pound of ash is enough to produce 250 shotshells."
6. Cremation Art
You can be like a horse, wild and free. But also eternally stuck to a canvas.
The businessy-sounding business "Cremation Solutions" will take a favorite photo, painting, or quote and then "tastefully" (their term) add your ashes to the image and lock them in place with a layer of glaze. Cremation Solutions assures potential purchasers that the ashes are "fully visible and touchable," so if you want to give your ashes to someone who can gently fondle them for eternity, this is a great method for you.
7. Glass Sculptures
The ceiling at the Bellagio: is it filled with dead people?
If you'd like your remains to look like the ceiling of The Bellagio in Las Vegas, glass artists such as Beverly Albrets are able to mix your cremains into glass used for ornate sculptures. Presumably, you could also find a glass artist who would be willing to mix your ashes into a glass candy dish, which your living loved ones can use to terrify children.
8. A Reef
You'll be among the angel...fish.
Eternal Reefs is a company that takes your remains, combines them with concrete, and drops you underwater where what's left of you gets to serve as a giant version of a fish tank castle. You'll be placed with other eternal reef pods to create a larger reef, because just as no individual man is an island, no individual dead man is a reef.
Part of the goal of Eternal Reefs is to give fish a habitat, because their natural habitat of coral reefs has turned out, sadly, to be not-quite-eternal.
9. A Tree
You don't have to be a farmer to be out-standing in your field. You can just be dead.
Bios biodegradable urns grow a tree that's fertilized by your ashes. Perfect if you think that death means turning over a new leaf, you're looking to get back to your roots, or you want to branch out into new opportunities. But you probably shouldn't go this route if you hate puns.
10. A Vinyl Record
Hi-fi dead guy.
And Vinyly will take your ashes and press them into a record and record whatever sounds or songs you want on it (for example, you could record your voice repeating "I'm disappointed in you" over and over and will the record to your children). The company can also make records out of the remains of just some of your body parts if you still want to be (mostly) buried. Just pick which limb(s) you don't want in the afterlife, and you're good to go.
11. A Dildo
It's arguably more useful than an hourglass, anyway.
You knew this was coming, right? And your living loved one will be coming too with this glass dildo that has a gold insert that can hold up to 21 grams of ashes. It has lots of creepy special touches, like a small scent diffuser in the dildo box that you can pre-load with your favorite perfume. (Post-load, the dildo can be put back in the box.)
