Butterfinger Is Paying For NFL Players To Start Doing Touchdown Celebrations Again

And Roger Goodell has already mishandled the situation.

As part of it’s new Bolder Than Bold campaign, Butterfinger is offering pro football players up to $50,000 to pay for the fines they may incur for excessively celebrating in the final three games of the season. Sounds like a win for everyone involved, including the NFL. Despite it’s relentless efforts to make the league as little fun as possible, everyone still loves a good celebration.

To launch this campaign, Butterfinger recruited famous mad man comedian Billy Eichner to do what he does best: unsuspectingly berate people on the streets of New York. They paired him up with legendary NFL diva receiver Terrell Owens, and sent them to the streets of New York to ask unsuspecting commuters and tourists to share their own touchdown celebrations. As is anything with Billy Eichner, the results are hilarious.

Whether any players actually take Butterfinger up on their offer has yet to be seen. I can tell you one thing, if a player does do it, he certainly won’t be a Patriots player, I can guarantee you that. If I had to bet, my money would be on a Carolina Panther. Those dudes love clowning around. As if I wasn’t already excited for the Conference Championship weekend already, Butterfinger has somehow doubled my anticipation.

We should all celebrate with a Butterfinger.

Money Saving Tips

Regardless of how much money you have in your bank account or how much you’re making, we’re all in the same spot: we want more cold hard cash, and we want it now. It’s the American way!

Earlier today, Reddit unveiled the perfect way to make it happen, and it’s actually incredibly easy.

User phukenh posted this now viral photo, giving valuable advice on how $5 can turn into thousands in just one year.

Saving Money Tricks
The post was originally seen on the site in June of 2014 and has already been proven true by former Boston Globe reporter Marie C. Franklin. Last year Franklin wrote a lengthy blog post documenting her own success with the trick. Somehow she managed to save every $5 bill she came in contact with for 12 whole years. As of August 2015 Franklin had saved nearly $36,000.

From the moment I wake in the morning, I’m thinking of ways to get back a $5 bill. That’s one reason I do most of my day to day living by spending cash, because let’s be honest, you can’t get a $5 back if you pay with a debit or credit card.

She insists the whole thing will be a fun game, which we totally get. It’ll also be really fun when you have thousands and thousands of dollars saved up so you can finally buy that sick condo you’ve been eyeing since last Spring Break. We can dream, right?

Singer Turns Real Dirty Sexts From Fraternity Brothers Into Beautiful Song

Texts From a Beta

What happens when you take real, actual drunken sext messages from fraternity brothers and then have some chick with a beautiful voice sing them? “Texts From a Beta” happens, and we’re damned sure glad it did.

Piano, string quartets, and a freaking chorus singing the most awful, heinous things that come from a fraternity brothers’ mind is an evil genius move.

But before you go off and laugh to yourself about how forward these men were, at some point you either have either sent sexts that are equally disgusting, or wish in hindsight that you had.

The real kicker here is that according to the video’s description, these text messages here were sent by different men to one woman, so obviously we’re curious what she looks like. The guys over at TotalFratMove claim that the song comes from out of Vanderbilt University, so that’s probably the best place to start looking.

Stop Whatever You’re Doing And Watch The Glorious Return Of Sarah Palin

Party like it’s 2008, baby.

Gotta love Sarah Palin, she seems like she hasn’t skipped a beat. Picking right back up where she left off, Sarah Palin was recently spewing incoherent, nonsensical sentences in support of Republican nominee Donald Trump.

Palin honestly speaks as if she skipped English class throughout her entire educational career. She shows zero regard for traditional grammatical rules such as noun-verb agreement, correct pronouns, and general sentence structure. Man, did Stephen Colbert picked a great year to start hosting The Late Show, because the pure comedy that has come out of this presidential race is truly unprecedented.

For those interested in brevity, here are some highlights, although I genuinely recommend watching the whole video. It’s gold, Jerry. Gold.

“Right-winging, bitter-clinging, proud-clingers of our guns, and our gods, and our religions.”

“We’re not gonna chill. In fact, it’s time to drill, baby, drill. Down.”

“All that ‘hope, changy’ stuff”

“And then, funny, HA HA. Not. Funny. But now, what they’re doing is wailing ‘Well, Trump, and his, uh, uh, Trumpators, well, they’re not conservative enough. “

I haven’t voted yet in my life, but I would vote in the New Jersey primaries TOMORROW if it meant a Trump/Palin ticket. And not even because it would provide our website with months worth of content (which it would), but because America deserves something as truly hilarious as Sarah Palin being Donald Trump’s running mate. One can only dream.

Serious question: why does Trump want Sarah Palin anywhere near his campaign? Whether you agree with his policies or not, Trump is clearly a smart dude, doesn’t he know that an argument can be made that Palin single handedly tanked John McCain’s 2008 bid? The only logical reason that I can think of is that Trump is all in with the whole ‘shock value’  aspect of his campaign, and decided to dust the cobwebs off of the greatest shock maker of all time.

Hey, Planet Earth, Bad News: Oral Sex Might Actually Cause Cancer

Who would of thought Michael Douglas was right?

Back in 2010, after being diagnosed with, and beating, Stage 4 throat cancer, actor Michael Douglas made the quite bold claim that his cancer was a result of having too much oral sex. Naturally, the rest of the world responded with an expected “WTF?” Here was his exact quote from an interview.

“Without wanting to get too specific, this particular cancer is caused by HPV, which actually comes about from cunnilingus.”

Sounds like total bullsh*t, right? WRONG! Turns out ol’ Colonel Angus might have actually been… right?

According to a recent study, new research has found that practicing oral sex can dramatically increase the risk of developing throat cancer by as much as 22 times. TWENTY TWO TIMES. A study found that people carrying the virus HPV (human papillomavirus) were twenty two times more likely to suffer from a potentially lethal tumor. The study, which was published in JAMA Oncology, is the first study to show conclusive evidence that HPV-16’S presence in the mouth leads to the the development of ‘oropharyngeal’ cancer.

There are grosser and more scientific details to this story, but I’m going to leave all that out. All you need to know is, shockingly, ANOTHER enjoyable thing in life can potentially kill you. Of course.

It’s always the fun stuff that does the most damage. Just ask Lamar Odom.

Jason Melo, The Man Who Forced His GF To Walk Around NYC Naked, Has Been Arrested

Jason Melo Full Story

After finding his girlfriend’s steamy sexts with strangers, 24-year-old Jason Melo forced her to walk around the New York City streets naked – and he taped it.

While berating her, Melo made his girlfriend go outside in nothing but a towel and boots, then had her strip down to nothing and pose next to a trash can. It’s definitely abusive, to say the least.

We can all agree that cheating is awful, but the video is almost too much to watch. Apparently we weren’t the only ones who thought that.

Melo has since been arrested on charges of criminal obstruction of breathing, coercion, assault, and acting in a manner injurious to a child less than 17 years old. Apparently before he started filming, he choked her in front of her 3-year-old child.

Here Is The Video Of What Happened


Who Is Jason Melo?


It’s not immediately clear if the child in the video is Jason’s or not, but what we can say is that he has posted a series of videos apologizing for his actions. They’re all in Spanish but the NY Daily News has translated some of them:

Jason Melo here. I want to ask all women for forgiveness. I want them to know, that really, I didn’t want this to – I didn’t think this would – get to this point.

Maybe, I made a mistake, to do what I did, from the beginning to take her out naked. I really regret this. If I could turn back time, I wouldn’t do it. Because in my mind, so much has happened to me.

I came from a woman, I have a daughter, and I have two sisters. But look what you pushed me to do. I am sorry for everything. This the last video I will make, I don’t want any interviews, I don’t want anything.


Reactions To The Viral Video

The video caused a range of reactions, but NYC’s First Lady Chirlane McCray managed to put those in support to rest.

“Earlier this week a video emerged that depicted intimate partner violence on a sidewalk in our city. The video displayed verbal abuse, forced humiliation, and harassment by the alleged offender, directed at his wife,” McCray said. “Posting that video online perpetuated the abuse, which New York City does not tolerate. We are steadfast in our efforts to make sure all victims of abuse are aware of the many resources available as we strive to make New York City’s public and private spaces safe for all women and girls.”

Melo was arrested at 5 p.m. Wednesday and was awaiting arraignment on charges of choking, child abuse, coercion and assault.

Jason Melo

Jason Melo – that 24-year-old douche bag who forced his girlfriend to walk around New York City naked then videotaped it – has been arrested.

The huge New York City d-bag garnered a ton of Internet attention after the walk of shame video went viral online. Reactions ranged – there was everything from “she deserved it” to “this is abusive” – but one thing is for certain: the video is painful to watch.

While YouTube has since removed the video, the unedited version can still be found on LiveLeak. Below is the censored version.

Before the incident, Melo allegedly choked his girlfriend in front of her 3-year-old child. It remains unclear as to whether or not he is the child’s father.

Melo has since been charged with criminal obstruction of breathing, coercion, assault, and acting in a manner injurious to a child less than 17 years old, and the victim was treated for facial injuries.

While the video is not able to be found on any of Melo’s social media accounts, his Instagram page – which now boasts 36,000 followers – features ten separate videos initially defending his decisions.

According to the New York Daily News,

Videos show him yucking it up with his friends and singing a song about a man betrayed by a woman. He even posted a video of a man satirizing the public punishment.

But in the final series of videos Melo, filming himself, asks for forgiveness.

“Jason Melo here. I want to ask all women for forgiveness. I want them to know, that really, I didn’t want this to – I didn’t think this would – get to this point,” he says.

“Maybe, I made a mistake, to do what I did, from the beginning to take her out naked. I really regret this. If I could turn back time, I wouldn’t do it. Because in my mind, so much has happened to me.

“I came from a woman, I have a daughter, and I have two sisters. But look what you pushed me to do. I am sorry for everything. This the last video I will make, I don’t want any interviews, I don’t want anything,” he says.

The final video in his social media meltdown shows him wiping tears from his eyes as he listens to a song about how no man is perfect.

The videos have a ton of comments, with the majority calling him an abuser, while another reads “Tomorrow you will be in jail and in the news.”

Looks like they were right on that one.

Aubrey Plaza hot photo
Aubrey Plaza has been on our radar ever since Parks And Recreation was on the air. Known for her dry humor and brilliant comedic delivery, a year after Parks And Rec’s final season, it looks like Aubrey is getting the big break she deserves. Any break would be huge for Aubrey, in fact, as her only other recognizable roles other than Parks And Rec was Seth Rogen’s girlfriend in Funny People , and a starring role in 2012’s indie Safety Not Guaranteed. 

With a starring role in the upcoming Dirty Grandpa, Aubrey will hopefully get the recognition as one fine as hell actress. We already knew how funny she was, but did anyone know she was this hot? I mean, obviously she’s always been cute, but she’s really stepped up her game the last couple of years.

Dirty Grandpa looks remarkably subpar, but Aubrey honestly seems like the only funny aspect of this movie. I mean, apparently there’s a scene where she licks Robert De Niro’s nipples, so theres that. Here’s to hoping she kills it, so she continues to be cast in roles like this.

So, in honor of Aubrey’s hottest role yet in Dirty Grandpa, we did the internet a favor and rounded up her 22 hottest photos.

Renowned graphic artist Kevin Lyons has teamed up with Truth and Vans to promote a tobacco-free Raleigh, North Carolina. Sounds ambitious, but that’s exactly what you need when you’re trying to rid the world of smoking.

Last month the artist went to the city – which is particularly afflicted by youth tobacco use – and painted an inspirational mural that spread uplifting words from teens across the country. Phrases like “Let’s Make History!” and “We that generation” can be found all over the wall from teens who wanted to share what it means to live in a tobacco-free world.

Art can solve a lot of the world’s problems – do I sound too much like John Lennon right now? – and Lyons’ painting is one step towards making a difference. To get the message across the country, Vans has replicated the mural onto limited-edition sneakers. They’re awesome and only cost $60. Get more info in the video below.

UVA Student Detained in North Korea for ‘Hostile’ Act

Otto Frederick Warmbier UVA

Screengrab

Otto Frederick Warmbier, a University of Virginia student, was recently arrested in North Korea for what is being called a “hostile act.”

China-based tourism agency Young Pioneer Tours confirmed that Warmbier was one of their clients in a statement made earlier this morning on their website.

We can confirm that the reports that one of our clients is being detained in Pyongyang are true. Their family have been informed and we are in contact with the Swedish Embassy, (who act as the protecting interest for U.S citizens), who are working with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to address the case. We are also assisting the U.S Department of State closely with regards to the situation. In the meantime we would appreciate Otto’s and his family’s privacy being respected and we hope his release can be secured as soon as possible.

Warmbier was arrested four days before North Korea conducted its fourth nuclear test, which violated UN sanctions and drew disapproval from the U.S. and surrounding countries.

Here’s everything you need to know.


What Happened to Otto Warmbier?

The 21-year-old Theta Chi fraternity brother was in North Korea for a short, five-day New Year trip and was detained at Pyongyang airport on Jan. 2 before boarding a flight back to China. He was part of Young Pioneer’s “New Year’s Party Tour”, which, according to the itinerary on the company’s website, included watching fireworks in Kim Il Sung Square. The area is in the heart of Pyongyang. A helicopter ride was also offered.

According to a man on the same flight, Warmbier and his travel group were out until 5am that morning getting drunk on Vodka. From Independent:

According to Darragh [an Irish national who was on the same flight], Warmbier – a 21-year-old Virginia student – was yelled at by armed officials at Pyongyang airport terminal before being dragged away:

“We were told there were only 100 tourists in the country at the time and there were 100 people on my flight,” he said. “When we were leaving one of the other tour group’s [the Young Pioneers] tour leader said ‘we’re missing Otto’.

“The tour operator eventually got through to Otto on the phone. He said to her that he didn’t want to leave and had a headache and that he wanted to go to hospital. She preferred him to get on the plane and go to a hospital in China….He hung up the phone and that was the last they heard of him. There was a frantic search when they landed in China.

“There was another person sitting next to me on the plane. This person said he [Otto] had said something to the guard. At the gate for the plane there was a woman collecting tickets and an armed soldier. According to the person next to me he [Otto] said something to the soldier and then the soldier started yelling at him and dragged him off.

His family has already been informed as well as the university, and the State department is aware of “media reports” surrounding the boy’s arrest. However, spokesman Mark Toner said that he had no other details to share due to privacy considerations.

The arrest was also announced on a North Korean news station.

KCNA announced that “Warmbier was under investigation for ‘perpetrating a hostile act against the DPRK after entering it under the guise of tourist for the purpose of bringing down the foundation of its single-minded unity at the tacit connivance of the U.S. government and under its manipulation.”

Gareth Johnson of Young Pioneer Tours – the program responsible for Warmbier’s initaly trip – told Reuters that they’re doing everything they can to help. “We are in touch with Otto’s family, the U.S. State Department and the Embassy of Sweden in Pyongyang and doing all we can to secure his release.”

This is not the first time in the past year that North Korea has arrested a student. In October the DPRK released NYU student Joo Won-Moon after claims they discovered him crossing into the country from China.


Who Is Otto Frederick Warmbier?

Otto is a first and foremost an American, an Ohio native, who has been illegally arrested and detained by an evil dictatorship that relies on childish acts such as these to get the world’s attention. But you probably already knew that.

Otto graduated from from a Wyoming High School, which is actually a high school in Cincinnati, OH. He is now currently studying commerce at the University of Virginia and is on the Dean’s List. Otto’s social media accounts show that he’s interested in finance, rap, and travel.

He is a member of the Theta Chi fraternity, who have had a tough year so far. Seven months ago, a fourth-year student and their President, Quentin Alcorn, died.


American Outrage To Frederick’s Arrest

Understandably, most Americans are upset about Frederick’s arrest.

Some are blaming Obama’s deal with Iran as the reason for Otto’s arrest.

His friends have also offered words of support.

Otto Warmbier, a UVA junior and Theta Chi fraternity brother, is currently being detained in North Korea for a hostile act.

Warmbier is originally from Cincinnati and was reportedly arrested on January 2nd. Reuters reported American officials at the U.S. embassy in South Korea are aware of his current detainment.

The 21-year-old Theta Chi frat brother was in North Korea for a short, five-day New Year trip and was detained at Pyongyang airport on Jan. 2 before boarding a flight back to China.

According to a man on the same flight, Warmbier and his travel group were out until 5am that morning getting drunk on Vodka. From Independent:

At the gate for the plane there was a woman collecting tickets and an armed soldier. According to the person next to me he [Otto] said something to the soldier and then the soldier started yelling at him and dragged him off.

The arrest of an American student was also announced on a North Korean news source, where the anchor revealed that Warmbier was under investigation for “perpetrating a hostile act against the DPRK after entering it under the guise of tourist for the purpose of bringing down the foundation of its single-minded unity at the tacit connivance of the U.S. government and under its manipulation.”

According to the New York Daily News, “the U.S. State Department said it could not confirm the CNN report. It declined to discuss the issue further or confirm whether the U.S. was consulting with Sweden, which handles U.S. consular issues in North Korea because Washington and Pyongyang do not have diplomatic relations.”

CBS News correspondent Seth Doane said that Warmbier was visiting North Korea for a short five day trip and was detained at Pyongyang’s airport ahead of a flight back to China. The tour company said that Warmbier’s family has been informed and is currently”in contact with the Swedish Embassy, (who act as the protecting interest for U.S citizens), who are working with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to address the case. We are also assisting the U.S. Department of State closely with regards to the situation.”

Warmbier was a graduate of Wyoming High School in Cincinnati and is currently a commerce student at University of Virginia. Cincinnati-area lawmakers announced that they are closely monitoring the situation.

“We have been in touch with the State Department regarding Mr. Warmbier,” said Christyn Lansing, a spokeswoman for Sen. Rob Portman, R-Ohio. “We are also reaching out to his family to offer any assistance we may be able to provide.”

Steve Angello Wild Youth Stream

Steve Angello, one third of the once dominant Swedish House Mafia, just released a new solo album called Wild Youth. It’s his first solo project since the split of SHM.

Rather than collaborate with the big names of EDM like other artists would do, Steve’s chosen instead to work with familiar names like Andrew Watt, David Garza, and the Presets. It’s an admirable move, and one that critics are saying paid off. It’s no collection of festival bangers, but something more akin to what he describe as the “soundtrack to his life.”

The album is anchored by the single “Children of the Wind” (released back in November) but the rest of the songs flow seamlessly together. As Rolling Stone puts it, “from the massive prog-dubstep synths…, to the lush and layered atmospheric glide of “Stay,” Wild Youth is a reminder that Angello is a solo dance force to take seriously.”

Panthers vs. Cardinals: 2016 NFC Championship Game Predictions

Panthers vs Cardinals 2016

Sunday’s first championship game will be in the NFC as the 14-3 Arizona Cardinals go on the road to face the 16-1 Carolina Panthers in Charlotte. The top two seeds in the conference have shown some great offenses and solid defenses all season long. The question though is which team will have enough on both sides of the ball to move on to Super Bowl 50 in Santa Clara on February 7. Here are five predictions for the NFC Championship Game.

The Arizona defense is the star of the game. Even without Tyrann Mathieu, this is a very key portion of the game with how good the Cardinals defense is. They have scored on two fumble recoveries and four interceptions this season. They are ball hawks and in this game even with an improved Cam Newton under center for the Panthers, Arizona’s defense is going to take the ball away four times and score at least once on defense. In a game where people may believe it will be all offense, the defenses are going to shine.

(Photo by Streeter Lecka/Getty Images)

Cam Newton has 350 all-purpose yards. It is very hard to slow down Newton with his 6-5 frame in the passing game and in the run game as well as he had 636 rushing yards in the regular season. While the Cardinals are going to have a great day against Newton, this won’t stop him from having 270 passing yards and 80 more on the ground. It is simply too difficult to slow down Newton for an entire game. He is going to be the lone piece of the Carolina offense that is going to work out well on Sunday afternoon.

David Johnson rushes for over 160 yards. One of the biggest stars of the regular season was Johnson and his breakout game in Week 15. The Panthers have a very good defense but can be exposed at times. Johnson will make sure that happens and will run wild through the Carolina secondary. He did average 4.6 yards per carry in the regular season and should average about that in this game as well. It will take some pressure off of Carson Palmer in the pass game on the road looking for a Super Bowl appearance.

Carolina’s defense scores twice. Here is the x-factor for this game. Will the Panthers make Palmer’s life miserable when he does pass the ball? The answer to that is yes. Palmer did throw 11 interceptions in the regular season and the Panthers are going to find a way to pick off two of his passes and return both for touchdowns. It is a very bold prediction but if the Panthers play anywhere close to the way they did in the first half against the Seahawks, they are going to make this happen early in the game.

It comes down to a late touchdown….In a game that is going to feature three defensive scores; it is going to come down to an offensive touchdown to win this game. Carson Palmer will lead his Cardinals down the field in the closing minutes and will find John Brown for the winning touchdown with under a minute to go which gives Arizona a 28-24 win and a berth in Super Bowl 50. It is bound to be a disappointing conclusion to a great season for the Panthers but the Cardinals are simply the better team.

The matchup is set and it will be another showdown between Tom Brady and Peyton Manning in the AFC Championship Game on Sunday in Denver. The two matched up two seasons ago with Manning and the Denver Broncos moving to the Super Bowl with a win over Brady’s New England Patriots. Brady and Manning have seen a ton of each other over the last 15 years with this being their 17th matchup. Here are five predictions for the AFC Championship Game in Denver.

This will be the final Brady-Manning meeting. We are reaching that point where these two legends are going to find their way into the sunset sooner than later with Manning likely being the first as soon as this season. Brady will be 39 when next season begins and Manning will be 40. The Broncos seemed to be happy with Brock Osweiler at quarterback when he replaced an injured Manning earlier in the season. This is a game that should be remembered as this is going to be the last time these two see the field together.

James White takes over the New England run game. This may come as a surprise to some people as White hasn’t been the lead rusher all season long for the Patriots but he is a favorite target for Brady out of the backfield and with a very ineffective running game right now, White and his elusiveness may be perfect for New England to change things up on the Denver defense. White finishes with 65 yards on the ground and six catches for 98 yards in the pass game but it will be a changeup the Broncos never saw coming.

Peyton Manning throws for under 200 yards. Manning didn’t turn the ball over in the AFC Divisional Round win over the Steelers and his receivers dropped a ton of passes but this is not the same Manning from earlier in his career. The Patriots defense isn’t one to slow down the passing game to a point to make it a non-factor but there is going to be enough pressure on Manning that he isn’t going to be as effective as he needs to be to get the Broncos a blowout victory in this one.

Tom Brady passes for over 400 yards. While Manning isn’t going to do well through the air, Brady on the other hand is going to light up the Denver defense because he won’t have a running game to do anything of substance with even if White takes over the run game. Brady is over 5,000 passing yards for the season now after throwing for 302 in the Divisional Round. The Patriots will be looking to go to their seventh Super Bowl with Brady at the controls and their leader will have a Hall of Fame-like day in his tenth AFC Championship Game appearance.

The game goes into overtime. With all the previous things said, this is a game that is going to go past the 60 minutes of regulation. New England will have their yards but the Denver defense will do just enough to keep Brady and company away from piling on touchdowns. Ronnie Hillman will be key to Denver staying in the game but when all is said and done, it will be a Stephen Gostkowski field goal midway through overtime that will send the Patriots to Super Bowl 50 in Santa Clara as New England goes on the road and gets a 23-20 win.

Nicole Linan1

I think it’s safe to say that Nicole is the total package. She’s only a freshman at the University of Nevada- Reno, but she’s done more with her college experience in one year than most people do in four years. The biology major plans to specialize in pediatric oncology and loves helping children so much that she went to Rwanda to volunteer. Just call her the next Angelina Jolie.

The California native is on the Division 1 cheerleading team at UNR and hopes to be a mentor when she graduates. She may have struggled to find herself in high school, but it seems like she doesn’t have to look any further.

Think she has what it takes to be Miss COED 2016? My guess is that she has a damn good shot. Voting for the final round of begins January 27!

See the twelve Miss COED 2016 finalists here.


You went to Africa to volunteer at an orphanage for a few weeks. How was that experience?
The experience in Rwanda was unreal. The beautiful people there were so happy without having a thing. The trip humbled me, and I hope to go back someday for long term.

You said that one of your goals was to travel to every continent. How many have you visited so far?
I have been to four out of the seven continents: Europe, Africa, North America and South America.

How long have you been cheerleading for? Is this something that you hope to continue after college as a coach or mentor?
I have been cheering from the age of 12. I have considered cheering professionally, but I will definitely participate in our Nevada Cheer mentorship program when I am an alumni.

Have you always wanted to be a doctor?
I have not always wanted to be a doctor; however, I have always wanted to work with children. Pediatric oncology would give me an opportunity to give back to children going through more struggles than most of us could understand.

Where are you originally from?
I am originally from a little community right outside of Napa, California called Green Valley.

What’s your favorite late night study snack?
My favorite late night study snack would definitely be sour gummy worms. Those are my weakness.

If your high school self could talk to you now, what do you think she would say?
My high school self would tell me that I can do anything that I set my mind to. There are always going to be people that tell you your’e not good enough, but the truth is that anything is possible.

Did you ever picture yourself being a part of a Division 1 team?
I never believed it would be possible to make a Division 1 cheer team, but years of hard work proved to pay off. I am extremely grateful for my spot on Nevada’s amazing team.

What’s your favorite class you’ve taken so far in college?
My favorite class in college so far has been my composition 2 class, where I participated in a semester-long research project on the effects of dietary supplements.

Has a coach/professor/parent given you a piece of advice that really resonated with you? If so, what was it?
One of my coaches once told me to “ have the courage to live a life true to yourself, not the life others expect of you.” This was so important for me to hear, as I struggled in high school to find who I really was.

Suddenly this photo means so much more.

Everyone’s favorite GOP presidential hopeful is making his mark on the literary world – though not by his choice – with a new book that recently hit Amazon. Titled Trump Temptation: The Billionaire & The Bellboy, the bargain book is bound to become a masterpiece of the erotic lit world.

Think the gay version of 50 Shades of Grey but with bigots and flailing toupees.

For those of you sad souls who have yet to catch an excerpt, here’s what you’re missing:

“My loins trembled as the scent of toupee adhesive and spray tan swept through my nasal cavity”

“His gorgeous a** flapped behind him like a mouthwatering stack of pancakes in his pants. My hunger for pancakes had never been stronger.”

“I had to admit it, I wanted his geriatric 2006 Perez Hilton jello body, and I wanted it bad.

“The door creaked open and there he was, handsome as ever, like a giant melting fat carrot with fake hair.”

Wow. You can feel the passion. And so can the Amazon reviewers.

Can you think of a better way to spend that $1.99? No. And with that God damn Winter Storm Jonas heading right for the East Coast, you may not have anything better to do anyway.

Shock Top Super Bowl Commerical

Shock Top, comedian TJ Miller, and the tasty beer’s mascot Wedgehead are gearing up for what they’re calling the “Greatest Super Bowl Ad of All Time.”

Super Bowl 50 will be the first time that Shock Top will be entering the scary and expensive world of Super Bowl commercials, but VP of the brand Jake Kirsch told AdWeek that now is the time.

“The reality is that we haven’t grown as much in the last few years. The biggest piece of that challenge is that while we’re available, the majority of people don’t know who we are. And it’s awfully hard, even if you’re available, to get people to try you if they don’t know you.

If we’re going to relaunch, reignite, restage …  it’s about how do we reach as many people as possible and get known and filter through that clutter? And the Super Bowl is a great platform to do that with.”

In order to start getting the word out about getting the word out, Shock Top released a 90-second teaser for the commercial that was completely ad-libbed between TJ and Martin Montana (the voice of “Wedgehead”). That idea of ad-libbing is important to Shock Top, since their whole platform is based on the slogan “Live Life Unfiltered.”


We’re excited for the commercial for a number of reasons, but mostly because TJ Miller has been on such a tear recently.

Macklemore Calls Out ‘Facist’ Iggy Azalea in New Song ‘White Privilege II’

Macklemore’s new track “White Privilege II” is guaranteed to start some sh*t. The nine minute song targets his own white privilege guilt, and a helpless Iggy Azalea, who he calls a fascist. Harsh.

Before we get into it, take a listen. Hopefully you have the spare time.

So… that was long.

In case you missed it, he name-checks Elvis Presley, Miley Cyrus, and Iggy Azalea, whose music he calls “fascist and backwards.”

Naturally, it doesn’t stop here – Azalea takes a true beating: “Fake and so plastic, you’ve heisted the magic / You’ve taken the drums and the accent you rapped in / You’re branded ‘hip-hop,’ it’s so fascist and backwards / That Grandmaster Flash’d go slap it, you bastard / All the money that you made / All the watered-down pop bullsh*t version of the culture, pal,” he raps.

Yikes. Azalea has since responded:

Looks like we have the latest Twitter fight on our hands.
Obviously the song isn’t really about Iggy Azalea or any of the artists he mentions as shams, but the reactions will come nonetheless. According to TMZ, the rapper is just as hard on himself.

It seems he’s lumping himself in with both [Iggy and Miley] — and the criticisms they all hear about their music — but Iggy’s taken it very personally.

But the song isn’t really about Iggy — you really have to hear the whole thing — Macklemore goes on to rap more about his own guilt for joining protests. Last November, he marched in a Michael Brown protest in Seattle.

The Internet reacts:
