Occidental College Students Occupy Administration Building in Hopes That President Will Resign

Occidental College President Resignation
Occidental College is a small liberal arts college in Los Angeles, but despite only having a total enrollment of roughly 2,200 students, they’re making a huge change on campus.

Students have been occupying the campus’s administration building in hopes of getting the school’s president to resign, and now they’re getting support from their professors.

Several hundred activists have been partaking in the sit-in for four days, and faculty have unanimously approved a resolution expressing “full support of the Oxy United for Black Liberation students’ actions and the demands for the culture around racism and diversity in the institution to change.”

According to Huffington Post,

Oxy United for Black Liberation is a coalition created by members of Oxy’s Black Student Alliance and a group called Coalition at Oxy for Diversity and Equity, or CODE. The students have said they plan to occupy the administration building until at least Friday, or until President Jonathan Veitch accepts their demands. At least 400 students, at the school of 2,000, have participated, according to organizers.

Last week, students presented administration with a list of 14 demands, including resignation of the school’s president Jonathan Veitch, particularly because of his lack of protection of marginalized students and sexual assault victims on campus.

Veitch sent a campus-wide email Wednesday night, co-signed by Board of Trustees Chairman Chris Calkins and Dean of Faculty Jorge Gonzalez, promising students that the demands would be fulfilled, except for one: his resignation.

Instead, he wants to establish “a neutral mediator to work with administration, faculty, and student representatives to help restore trust and pathways for dialogue.”

Students, however, aren’t buying it. “He writes these emails about how there’s a great discourse, but there’s zero discourse,” student activist Cruz Riley says. “There’s been dialogue forever and no change, and that’s the current reasoning for the unwillingness to negotiate, because we’ve been negotiating and there’s no change.”

We have a feeling this is going to go on for a while – everywhere.


Black Friday 2015: Top 5 Best Deals For 4K LED TVs

Black Friday Best 4K LED TV Deals

Some of the best Black Friday deals apply to 4K LED TVs, specifically because of the heavy discounts applied to these electronics and home entertainment systems. The good news is that you can find some of the best 4K LED TV sales even before Black Friday officially comes. Amazon has marked down some of the greatest 4K LED TVs available on the site from some of the biggest manufacturers: Samsung, LG and Sony.

4K is definitely one of the biggest trends we see going forward, especially now that YouTube and (more importantly) Netflix are offering 4K quality streams.

So instead of literally fighting hundreds of people for holiday sales on relatively cheap products, beat the Black Friday rush and buy top of the line 4K LED TVs earlier (and cheaper) than everyone. Here are the best deals on 4K LED TVs you can find online.

Black Friday 2015 4k LED TVs

LG Electronics 60UF7700 (60 Inches)

4K Ultra HD Smart LED TV

Where to buy: Amazon

Original Price: $2,499.99

Black Friday Price: $1397.99

You Save: $1,102.00

You won’t find a much better deal on a 60-inch UK LED TV from a name brand company than $1,400. From what we’re able to find, this television has since been discontinued but just because it’s a 2015 model doesn’t mean you’re settling. This is definitely not an entry level 4K TV.

Black Friday Price: $897.99

A legitimately-sized 4K TV from LG for $800? What’s not to love?!? Most of the reviews on Amazon are very positive, and a few customers are even claiming that this works perfectly as a computer monitor.

If you’re looking for a secondary TV for your bedroom or the guest room, you can’t go wrong with this.

You’re not going to find a cheap 60-inch 4K 3D LED TV (unless it “fell off the back of the truck”) anywhere, so when you see something that’s priced just under $1800, you should know that you have a great deal. Truthfully we’re not sold on the whole 3D idea, but you can bet your bottom dollar that 4K technology is here to stay. If you’re a fan of 3D TVs, then this is probably your best bet.

Here’s another 49-inch 4K LED TV, this one priced at almost $100 cheaper than the LG TV. It’s not immediately apparent to us why the Sony is a hundo cheaper than the LG, as pretty much every review of the TV (when it was $800) are glowing. Users are also reporting that this functions very well as a computer monitor if you’re a gamer.

Samsung pretty much has cornered the market on curved 4K LED TVs, so if you’re looking for a curved TV you’re going to have to go with Samsung. While there are pros and cons to the technology, one thing that’s hard to find is a curved 4K TV that’s on sale.

New Human Barbie Has 30JJ Breasts That Might Explode, But She’s Totally Cool With It

Blondie Bennett Pics
Too much plastic surgery is terrifying – this French couple is case in point – but it’s especially horrific when you’re on the verge of becoming the latest Frankenstein catastrophe.

Enter Blondie Bennett, the latest patient to hit the Botched examination room and a 39-year-old “model” who prides herself on being a “bimbo f*ckdoll.” Uhhh… ok then.

She’s also the most recent person to publicly declare that she wants to become a human barbie, a phenomenon which I will never personally understand, but whatever you’re into.

However, her case is a bit more terrifying – she has 30JJ sized breasts and is looking to get another upgrade. You can literally be swallowed up by these things mid-motorboat.

Luckily the TV surgeons refused to do the work, especially after hearing that she’s had a tumor on her chest twice and that the skin around her implants has thinned. Making them any bigger could also cause them to explode, which sounds highly unpleasant.

However Bennett is determined – “I just want to look like tits on a stick.” Wise words from a wise woman.

The California blonde has already undergone Botox, cheek implants, chin liposuction and five breast enlargements, all of which cost over $38,000.

Blondie, step away from the plastic surgery table and into the nearest mental hospital. You can thank us later!

Man Invents Ketchup Slices, Proving The Future Is Now

Ketchup Leather Slices

Ernesto Uchimura, a chef at LA restaurant Plan Check, has created the greatest invention ever: ketchup slices. Also known as “Ketchup Leather” (a much less appetizing sounding word) these squares are designed to be placed on a hot burger and melting onto the bun.

Metro explains that “He invented the square of hard ketchup, which melts upon contact with a hot juicy burger, because he was fed up of too much sauce making his buns soggy.” Whereas we just ate our burgers quickly to avoid the problem altogether, we can appreciate Ernesto going the extra mile.

The process of creating the ketchup slices (I refuse to call it “ketchup leather” is actually very simple. Ernesto simply dehydrates the ketchup which allows it to then became a cheese-like substance.

I’m a ketchup addict–let’s just get that out of the way. So that I wasn’t the person to think of inventing ketchup slices is going to haunt me forever. Just imagining watching ketchup melt onto a burger is getting my mouth watery.

This is the kind of stuff that makes me happy I’m living in the future.

ISIS Responds to Anonymous Threat, Calls The Hacker Group Idiots

After declaring a cyber war on ISIS, hacker group Anonymous has published a thorough list of Twitter accounts associated with ISIS propaganda and support. So far, they have hacked into and revealed 5,500 accounts.

But ISIS has since responded, calling the group idiots.

According to the Daily Mail, the radical Islamic Cyber Army group has posted quite a lot of thoughts regarding the threat on Telegram,  an encrypted smartphone-messaging app.

“What they gonna hack…all they can do is hacking twitter accounts, emails, etc… Do not make your email same as your username on twitter this mistake cost many ansar [users sympathetic to ISIS] their accounts and the kuffar [non-Muslims] published their IP, so be careful.”

ISIS supporters and members have pointed out that the solution to shutting down a Twitter account is a simple one – just open up a new account.

Members also use a number of encrypted messaging services, including “a virtual private network (VPN) to their mobile browsers, which allows you to mask your location and use a foreign IP address, making it look to outsiders like you are in another city or country.”

When sending messages or images to each other, they often take to FireChat, which allows phones within a 200-mile radius of each other to send messages without an Internet connection.

The information was revealed after a 34-page ISIS fighter handbook was obtained by independent military research group Combating Terrorism Center.

At this point, will anything stop them?

Here’s Hoping You’re Not Sitting Next to These Horrible Plane People This Holiday

Horrible Plane People

Let’s face it, flying SUCKS.  Gone are the glamorous days when flying was all about style, class and customer service. Nowadays, it’s just a huge pain in the ass.  Between the ridiculously slow security procedures, overcrowded planes and temperamental airline personnel, air travel has become about as desirable an experience as a trip to the dentist for an emergency root canal.

But of all the things that make flying most miserable, it’s the uncouth and inconsiderate passengers that are the worst.  They stick their dirty bare feet on your armrest; cram dirty diapers in the back seat pocket and overall behave as if they’re hanging home alone in the living room of their doublewide.  It’s downright disgusting and should be embarrassing, but sadly not so. As you gear up for travel this holiday season, here’s hoping you don’t find yourself sitting next to any of these horrible plane people.

The PIKE House At Arkansas Is Finally Complete, Do They Now Have The Best Fraternity House In The Country?

Does Arkansas' PIKE Have The Best Fraternity House In The Country-

We’ve been looking forward to seeing the finished Pi Kappa Alpha fraternity house at The University of Arkansas for a long time. How long? Since the brothers first posted a video the proposed rendering of the house, which was four years ago.

Hell, we even included them on our list of Best Southern Fraternity Houses because we knew how awesome it was going to be.

This Fall, the PIKE brothers finally moved into the house and it looks like the wait was well worth it. All in all, the 28,300 square foot house cost $8.1 million. That’s because they chose to use materials and processes that would stand the test of time–something we all know is important in a fraternity house. The thing is literally prison proof.

The house itself has 4 floors, a roof garden, an outdoor lounge that faces the street, and a bazillion other updated accommodations that are enough to make anyone drool.

Of course, it took absolutely no time for the proud brothers to show off their new digs. Recently they hosted a Riverboat party. Whereas most fraternities would have just decorated the inside and called it a day, the PIKE brothers did up the entire front section of the house to make it look like a real riverboat. Absolutely unreal.

But you’re probably wanting to see the photos. Check them out below, then try to tell me this isn’t the nicest fraternity house in the country.

Georgia Southern University Student Fired From Job After Bashing #BlackLivesMatter Movement

Emily Faz GSU
Georgia Southern University senior Emily Faz was recently fired from her restaurant job after bashing the Black Lives Matter movement on her Facebook page.

Now a number of students demand she get expelled.

Before we go any further, read the full message below:

GSU Black Lives Matter
The post quickly went viral, and unsurprisingly, people had a lot to say about it.

Yikes. That’s what you get, Emily!

Amid rumors that the school would take disciplinary action against her, Emily returned to the platform that got her into a sh*t ton of trouble to write an apology… that wasn’t actually an apology.
GSU Black Lives Matter Facebook
So basically, she’s apologizing to readers for not understanding what she’s saying, not for insulting a massive movement. Smooth, Emily!

Shortly after the post went viral, Faz’s managers started receiving an endless stream of phone calls, which resulted in her prompt firing. From there interim president Jean Bartels released a statement saying that the post “resulted in a call for disciplinary action against the speaker,” and that GSU “[would] not tolerate behavior that is in violation with our Student Code of Conduct.”

However, according to Bartels Faz is unable to be punished for her use of free speech, despite how many were insulted by what she had to say. According to the Daily Mail,

She wrote that since the school is a public institution they are not, “permitted to restrict speech that is protected by the First Amendment of the United States Constitution.”

In response to the post the GSU NAACP had a ‘Black Out, Walk Out’ protest on Tuesday and made demands of the school. They asked the institution to hire more black professors and to expand the African American program.

Activists are arguing that the line between free speech and making a threat is very fine and that they believe there is more leniency towards white students.

A student who participated in the walkout – Kayanna Tate – made this even more clear, stating, “I think it’s important to know the difference between freedom of speech and a threat, and it seems like when it comes from a white student at this school, that sometimes the line is being blurred because of who it comes from.”

Faz also posted an additional hateful message the night of the attacks in Paris, criticizing Muslims.

GSU
While I think Faz is in the wrong for putting this sort of thing up on her Facebook – and not just because of the excruciating spelling errors – I don’t think she should have been fired for speaking her opinion. Everyone is entitled to their own beliefs, regardless of how wrong they are (IMO), and unfortunately there’s always going to be someone like this moseying around.
Do you think she’s in the wrong? Or is everyone just overreacting? Sound off in the comments below.

UPDATE:

Wild Wings Cafe just announced that they did not actually terminate Faz. She also wrote a lengthier explanation on her Facebook.

The Best of “Ohio State Sucks” Memes On The Web

The Ohio State University Buckeyes are probably the most hated football team in America. And if they’re not #1, they’re right there behind the Alabama Crimson Tide.

Obviously there’s no love lost in Ann Arbor, but the Buckeyes’ recent domination of the Big 12 in addition to their championship season last year hasn’t done them many favors outside of Ohio. That might explain why haters have flooded Twitter and Instagram with hilarious memes of why Ohio State sucks.

Most of the hateorade stems from two instances: the fact that the Buckeye’s starting QB JT Barrett was recently arrested for a DUI and that their strength of schedule is pretty easy.

And also that Ohio State fans are probably the most obnoxious people on the planet. Yeah, also that.

Adele 25 Stream

Adele’s 25 album released today to fantastic praise and reviews, so why not take some time to listen to the album every female you know will be talking about? Oh, it’s because you can’t stream the album on either Apple Music or Spotify. Yeah that’s a bummer.

Like Taylor Swift, Adele made the announcement yesterday you’ll only be able to hear her music (legally) by buying her album on the iTunes store or at a Target.

The news is understandably frustrating to those of you who already pay for premium music services, so we’ve pulled together a couple of options to help you navigate the problem.

Stream Adele’s 25

It’s nearly impossible to find a working stream of 25 since every news agency and music blog in the world wrote about how it wouldn’t be available on Spotify of Apple Music, thereby completely rending the the search term “Adele 25 stream” useless.

So here’s a link to stream the album for free.


Buy Adele’s 25 on iTunes

The quickest way you can listen to Adele’s 25 immediately is to buy it from the iTunes store here. Keep in mind that the 11-track album won’t include the three bonus cuts that are only available at Target.


Buy Adele’s 25 on Amazon

If you’re not a fan of Apple, or you have Amazon credits you’d like to spend, you can also buy 25 on Amazon.


Buy Adele’s 25 at Target

If you’re willing to go outside to interact with people, the best way to indulge in 25 is to head to your closest Target store and buy it there. Alternatively you can order it from their website here.


Adele 25 Track List

1. “Hello”
2. Send My Love (To Your New Lover)
3. I Miss You
5. Remedy​
6. Water Under The Bridge​
7. River Lea​
8. Love In The Dark
9. Million Years Ago
10. All I Ask​
11. Sweetest Devotion​
12. Can’t Let Go (Target Exclusive Track)
13. All I Ask (Target Exclusive Track)
14. Why Do You Love Me (Target Exclusive Track)


Adele’s doing pretty well for herself, even without taking into account the sales of 25. Check out the singer’s net worth right here, then start to feel bad for yourself that neither you or your girlfriend are good at singing.

The ginormous Oklahoma high school is gaining recognition after posting a Lip Dub on YouTube, showing students lip syncing some crazy popular songs while dancing it up in the school auditorium.

For a little over three weeks, students, teachers and staff all worked together to produce the video, which comes in at just under 12 minutes. In short, that’s a whole lot of dancing and fake singing.

In our opinion, Holly’s been nothing but gracious in the interviews after the match. That being said, “The Preacher’s Daughter” recently told Larry King in her first sitdown longform interview that Ronda wasn’t her toughest opponent that she’s faced. Check out the full interview below.

According Holly, her toughest opponent was Ann Sophie Mathis–a French boxer who beat the piss out of Holly back in 2011. You can watch the highlights of that boxing match below. Just know that it’s pretty brutal and that the ref should have probably called the fight a few haymakers before.

The man was tackled by two off-duty officers paid by Apple to provide security. An extensive NYPD presence was visible outside the building.

Video of the incident has started to surface. It looks like he’s posted up in the spiral staircase at first, messing with the sword in a very unprofessional manner, and then he starts heading downstairs. Obviously at that point, people start heading in the opposite direction.

What makes Bree Olson so friggin’ hot is basically a no brainer. When you’re infamously known for doing the dirty work on various adult films, it kind of goes without question.

Debuting in the adult industry back in 2006, Bree Olson has appeared in nearly 500 films within her time in the adult industry. With a gorgeous face and a body that’s far too close to perfect to even seem possible, Bree takes hotness to an entirely different level. Like, one that is so unbelievably hot that we just can’t help but enjoy everything this woman has to offer!

Widely known for being one of the hottest Playboy models to ever exist, Sara Jean Underwood and her impressively sexy bod have continued to tantalize the masses since her first debut. From modeling in various Playboy spreads, to becoming Playmate of the month in 2006, Sara topped off all of that hotness by making an appearance on the infamous E! playmate series The Girls Next Door. Does this chick even need an introduction?

Born in Portland, OR, Sara graduated from high school in 2002 and went on to attend college at Oregon State University. Although it’s tough to believe that this sexy little blonde’s first job involved assisting in selling heavy construction equipment, we’d be lying if we said that the thought of her as a sexy construction babe isn’t hot as can be! With that being said though, it isn’t hard to believe that she went on to work at various Hooters restaurants before making her Playboy debut in 2005. However, we sure are happy she chose Playboy over slinging chicken!

Walking Dead Spoiler Cast Photo

The Walking Dead fans are going to have mixed feelings about this lucky Atlanta gal who ran into some cast members in a restaurant and jumped in for a quick photo. As you can see, Norman Reedus was his usual laid-back self when it comes to rabid fans bothering the guy. He’s pretty cool.

As you can’t see, though—unless maybe you mull over the pic for longer than you want to because SPOILERS—there was somebody else at the table who maybe shouldn’t have been there. We’re talking about a cast member that’s created a lot of recent buzz over his or her fate during this current season.

What does it all mean? Well, in this case, we’re thinking it means that producers are going to tell cast members not to hang out with each other all the time if it’s going to give away key plot points. Damn, Walking Dead cast members. Start wearing sunglasses and hiring bodyguards to keep people away from tables in your fancy restaurants.

Central Intelligence Trailer Video

As we’re getting the Oscar contenders out of the way, the studios are starting to hit us with some looks at summer smashes and some early-2016 trash. We’re excited over both, with Zoolander 2 already catching our eye. But there’s a lot more big-screen sneak peeks happening, with a lot of our favorite stars—who sometimes make crappy films, but these look promising…

Central Intelligence

This upcoming summer comedy smash actually looks like it could be a bigger smash than expected—thanks to a fun switch on the 21 Jump Street idea of high-school foes working together in the line of law enforcement. Kevin Hart is the former cool kid, and Dwayne Johnson, as seen above, is the former fatty who recruits his old schoolmate into some grown-up adventure. Johnson looks to be having a lot of fun here, and it’s sure what his career needed after the predictable heroics of San Andreas….


Midnight Special

If we were Stephen King, we’d be calling up our lawyers over this obvious Firestarter knockoff—and we guess the original film studio of the 1984 film would have a claim, too. It’s weird to see writer/director Jeff Nichols take on something this derivative after the innovative Take Shelter and Mud, but at least this trailer makes the movie look smart–well, except for one painful line which really stands out…..


The Huntsman: Winter’s War

Damn, this sequel to that Snow White and the Huntsman movie sure seems a lot more frozen than we expected, and Girl Power is dealt a blow with Chris Hemsworth’s rugged good guy taking over the title—but we’re really happy to see this fairy tale bring in Emily Blunt as the new Wicked Ice Witch, plus Charlize Theron returning to camp it as the Wickeder Witch, and Jessica Chastain making up for that lost Girl Power we just mentioned….


Dirty Grandpa [Red Band Trailer]

And here’s a red band trailer for Robert De Niro’s upcoming antidote to The Intern (which, to be fair, has a really good performance from De Niro). The high concept is clean-cut Zac Efron having to hang out with his bad-boy grandpa, and this trailer mostly emphasizes that with plenty of foul language. Also, Aubrey Plaza in a bra, so we’re sold….


Lewis and Clark College Assault: Must See Info And Facts

Lewis & Clark College in Portland, Oregon, is reeling from reports that once again link the anonymous social media platform Yik Yak to campus controversy. A 26-year-old black male student, who’s asked not to be named, has gone to Portland police with an account of being attacked on Friday night by three white males on the university grounds. [photo via…]

The college has already been dealing with campus protests in the wake of threatening racist messages directed to black students via Yik Yak postings.

Here’s the account from the official police report:

On Saturday November 21, 2015, at 12:49 a.m., Central Precinct officers responded to Lewis and Clark College, located at 0615 Southwest Palatine Hill Road, on the report of an assault.

Officers arrived and contacted the 26-year-old black male victim, who is a student at the college. The victim told police that he was confronted and assaulted by three white males near the campus pool. The victim told police that the incident occurred at approximately 9:00 p.m. and he waited to report it until after talking with friends.

The victim told police that the suspect used racial epithets before assaulting him. The victim fought back and was able to get away and go to his residence on campus. The victim did not require medical attention as a result of the assault.

Based on the victim’s statements, Detectives assigned to investigate Bias Crimes responded to the campus to continue the investigation.

The suspect are described as three college-age white males, 5’8″ tall, medium build.

At this point in the investigation, it is not known if the social media posts on “Yik Yak” earlier this week have any direct connection to this incident. Both incidents remain under investigation.

The troubling Yik Yak posts had already been addressed with an official announcement from Oregon State Bar President Richard Spier: “We stand by students, faculty, school officials and alumni who are steadfast in their resolve to create campus communities in Oregon that welcome, value and support a diverse student body.”

Sadly, authorities have to consider that this might be another racial hoax. Saginaw Valley State University was recently sent into turmoil after a threat against African-Americans was made via Yik Yak—with a person posting, “I’m going to shoot every black person I can on campus. Starting tomorrow morning.”

As reported by the Saginaw News, police have since arrested Emmanuel D. Bowden for the Yik Yak post. He’s a black man who lived in Saginaw Valley State housing, and had formerly been a a student at the nearby Delta College.
