Chuck E Cheese Fight Video  Manchester CT

Chuck-E-Cheese brawls aren’t something that are new to us, but that doesn’t make them any less entertaining. Today’s hullabaloo is brought to you by the town of Manchester, CT where a ruckus broke out at the hellhole specifically built for children’s parties.

Watch the Chuck-E-Cheese fight, which was recorded on video by a woman who calmly says the words “WorldStar” a million times, in the video below.

Before we get any further, I’d just like to point out that if you’re going to say the words “Worldstar” during a fight, you should yell the words and not calmly mention them, as this woman did. Second, and most importantly, upload the video to Worldstar! It’s not there yet. But I digress.

Here’s a statement from Chuck-E-Cheese to NBC Connecticut.

We are regretful of the situation. Our cast immediately called the authorities once the altercation went from verbal to physical. We are working closely with the authorities to provide our surveillance footage. The safety of our guests and cast members is our number one priority. We are sorry this happened. We are usually a place for food and fun and family and we work hard to provide a positive, wholesome atmosphere for guests.

 


Fairfield University Throws “Ghetto-Themed” Party & Students Are Pretty Pissed About It

Fairfield University Ghetto

Fairfield University

Students from Fairfield University are currently under fire after an off-campus house hosted a “ghetto-themed” party, with several attendees reportedly showing up in black face. Several students have expressed their disapprroval via social media and are calling for more sensitivity on the suburban Connecticut campus.

The incident, which took place in a private, off-campus house this past weekend, is currently under investigation. University officials have since released a statement, claiming they had no knowledge the party was taking place, but condemned it nonetheless. They plan on taking action where they see fit once the investigation is over.

“It is truly disappointing to see my fellow students … behave in such a manner that mocks (another) race,” Anmol Tabassum, a Bridgeport resident and Fairfield University sophomore, told the Connecticut Post Monday.

Joe Harding, a Fairfield University junior from Philadelphia, expressed similar thoughts. “The fact that there was even an idea to dress as ‘ghetto’ is an intrinsically perverted issue. When a party has a theme, the participants are expected to wear a costume. In this case, the partygoers chose to wear clothing and accessories that portrayed their conceptualizations of what it means to be ghetto… Ghetto is not a term of endearment.”

Other students had mixed reactions and took the matter lightly. However, the story is just starting to pick up steam and pissing people off on a national level. Based on similar stories that gained media attention prior to this incident, it’s hard to imagine someone not realizing what’s wrong with this picture. Granted, photographic evidence of students in black face have yet to surface (at least online, anyway), but if the allegations are true, you should be ashamed of yourselves.

I thought college was supposed to make you smarter and more open-minded… or was that just mine?

UTK Student Takes Adult Film Star to Parents Weekend Formal, Goes Down as a Legend

UTK Sigma Chi Adult Film Star

Twitter

A brother of UT-Knoxville’s Sigma Chi is officially going down as a legend after he took adult film star Cherry Morgan to his formal this past weekend. Best part? It wasn’t actually his fraternity formal, it was a formal for parents weekend that students can also bring dates to.

Uh… who was your date again? And were your parents into the match, or not so much because they saw her bang other dudes on video?

In short: the dude is legendary. First of all, it looks like Patrick Goswitz – set to graduate in 2017 – showed ol’ Cherry here a really awesome time. Per her Twitter account:

Ok, it looks like both of them had a really awesome time. Could this be the beginning of a long-lasting relationship? Probably not, but it’s definitely one hell of a story.

Luckily Goswitz’s parents didn’t attend the event, but based on the media’s reaction, we can imagine they now know about their son’s extracurriculars. But things could be worse… like not taking a porn star to formal.

An App Similar to ‘Find My Phone’ Got This 23-Year-Old Man Murdered

What would you do if your cell phone got stolen? Call it? See if you can negotiate a price to get it back? Cry about how unfair the world is?

Chances are you wouldn’t do any of those things thanks to the popular phone app Find My Phone and others like it. These programs allow you to track where your lost or stolen device is, making it more likely to actually get it back. But after this horror story, you might want to think twice about clicking that button.

After his phone was stolen, a 23-year-old Alabama man used an app similar to Find My Phone to track it down and retrieve it. Unfortunately when he got to the destination, he was shot dead.

Leon Davis, Fairfield Police Chief, said the (unnamed) tracking app led the victim to a nearby church parking lot. He then reportedly “hit a button on the app that made the phone ring inside a vehicle. When he went to retrieve the phone inside the vehicle, the suspect shot and killed him.”

The victim, who was reportedly shot twice, was later taken to the hospital where he was pronounced dead upon arrival.

According to Davis, the two knew each other and Fairfield police are now searching for the shooter. He reportedly fled the scene in a gold 2015 or 2016 Nissan Maxima with chrome accents. Davis said they have a potential street name for the shooter: G-boy or G-bo.

The chief said they believe the victim was shot after he used an app to track his stolen iPhone, which was taken out of his car.

“The case illustrates the danger of people trying to apprehend cell phone thieves on their own with the help of tracking apps,” Davis said. “Notify police and let them handle the recovering.”

With billions of people on planet Earth, there’s bound to be some sort of genetic crossover. In other words, everyone’s got a doppelgänger – it’s just a matter of finding them. Obviously some have better luck than others. Trying to find the average doppelgänger is rare, although social media has managed to connect people from all over the world, making it more of a possibility than it ever was before. But if you’re a celebrity, you’re bound to find at least a couple hundred throughout your career.

We’ve already found Kim Kardashian’s lookalike (along with several others), but now it’s little sister Kylie Jenner’s turn. Meet Nina Vee, a 25-year-old beauty blogger who could easily sub as the youngest Kardashian/Jenner stunt double.

Aside from looking exactly like the reality star, Vee also follows in her social media footsteps, with an impressive Instagram following of over 55,000 gawkers. Fully embracing the resemblance, she’s known for her Kylie Jenner-inspired makeup tutorials.

Don’t believe me? Check out some of those photos and try and tell me the likeness isn’t uncanny.

Etsy is full of things we don’t need – that sweet, multi-colored cat poster not included – and in-between the mundane contraptions no one should give a sh*t about but does, there’s the weird stuff. Like really, really weird stuff.

Case in point: this horrifying discovery a COED editor came across today about how to turn your urine into actual drinking water.

Etsy UrineWTF?! Who would want to do that anyway? And why is someone searching for that on a site dedicated to handmade knits and Magic posters? Sadly the photo attached is even more disturbing than the description:

Are your eyes bleeding? Because mine are. I’m also on the verge of stabbing them out completely and vomiting up everything I’ve eaten since Saturday. WTF is happening here and why? Why?

Further details are listed as follows: “Convert your urine into clean drinking water safely with this genital garter attachment and drinking water conversion system.”

A genital garter attachment? Are you f*cking serious? Excuse me while I never look at anything online ever again – this is almost as upsetting as the whole Donald Trump debacle.

Rihanna Surpasses Michael Jackson & Madonna with New Single “Work”

It’s official: Rihanna has broken Michael Jackson’s record. With her 14th chart topper, RiRi now has more number one singles under her belt than the King of Pop and Madonna. Not to mention, she’s way hotter than them put together… which doesn’t hurt.

As “Work” topped Billboard’s Hot 100 chart Friday, Rihanna became the 3rd artist with the most #1 singles in American history .

The song “Work” features Drake, and is part of her new album Anti, released just three weeks ago. On Friday, “Work” surged from #4 to #1 on the Hot 100 chart.

Here’s an updated look at the artists with the most Billboard Hot 100 #1 hits:

20, The Beatles
18, Mariah Carey
14, Rihanna
13, Michael Jackson
12, Madonna
12, The Supremes
11, Whitney Houston
10, Janet Jackson
10, Stevie Wonder

Previously tied with the King of Pop, Rihanna now has 14 chart-toppers, compared to Jackson’s 13.

She is just behind Mariah Carey, who currently has 18 number, ones and The Beatles, who clocked up 20 in their time.

Meanwhile, “Work” became Drake’s second Billboard Hot 100 topper. Also collaborating with Rihanna, the duo’s “What’s My Name?” topped the Nov. 20, 2010 Hot 100 chart.

Even though Rihanna hasn’t particularly flaunted about taking Jackson’s spot on the all-time list, she did tweet on Monday afternoon, “#WORK tops Billboard #Hot100!! Navy you killed it this week!” “Navy,” of course,” refers to the nickname for Rihanna’s passionate fan base.

Twitter

The news of Rihanna’s latest chart-topping success comes just hours after she and Drake released not one, but two videos for “Work.”

The first version had the stars getting down and dirty at a club (Rihanna in a rainbow bra and fishnet dress). The second depicted a sensual living room rendez-vous, and RiRi bra-less in a see-through shirt.

Did we mention it was Rihanna’s 28th birthday on Saturday? She clearly has a lot to celebrate.

Women are Using Tinder to Get Free Pizza, So Beware

Pizza Tinder Games

Elite Daily

It’s hard enough as it is to find a decent person on Tinder, and not just because the majority of users want to hookup and you constantly run the risk of them looking like this in person. But mostly because Catfish is a legitimate TV show and people are trying to get on it. Who could resist 15 minutes of fame with Nev’s unbearably hairy chest, anyway? So when you find someone who actually seems cool and has a legit social media following to prove their existence, getting played for pizza can be pretty disheartening.

The popular dating app just got crueler with the introduction of The Tinder Games, a ploy for hot girls to get free pizza instead of go on a date with you. Be bitter – it’s ok.

Here are a few incredibly depressing plays:

So, in short, girls are really wasting guys’ time and ruining their lives. Interesting choice to make while signing up for a dating app… if you can’t beat them, join them I guess. At least you’ll be eating well?

Tumblr Isn’t Just a Blog, It’s Adult Content for Women

<a href="http://testkitchen.huffingtonpost.com/tumblr-porn/greatforwomen/&quot;tumblr

When you think Tumblr, you think, blogs. But did you know that of Tumblr’s 200,000 most-visited blogs, 11.4 percent of them (around 22,775) host adult content.

Over half of Tumblr’s users are young women, between 18 and 29. Given these numbers, it’s not surprising that anecdotal evidence points to a growing number of women are using Tumblr to find images that will get them off.

How on earth is Tumblr able to get away with this?

Here’s the thing: Tumblr is far more liberal when it comes to explicit imagery than a platform like Instagram, where a nipple can get your account suspended.

Sexy Tumblr blogs tend to be geared toward women, primarily straight women. They have names like “Yummy P0rn for Girls,” “P0rn Gifs for Women” and “Girls Love Sex Too.” They contain a mix of X-rated GIFs, photographs, illustrations, audio clips and written stories.

Adult content on Tumblr is a thrillingly diverse assortment of bite-sized sexual imagery. Women aren’t only actively viewing them, they are curating it.

The trick in uncovering these hidden jewels is knowing how to search for them. Tags are your best friend. They are the code to Tumblr’s adult content secret society, which is hiding in plain sight.

Tumblr’s simple layout — complete with short, digestible clips you can look at and get off to anytime, anywhere — bests the messiness of mainstream adult content sites. Plus, it’s free! What more do we need? Sign us up!

‘Far Cry Primal’ Review: Must-See Details & Full Trailer

Far Cry Primal Review

It’s rare that a game comes along that is nothing like anything else out there, but Far Cry Primal manages that feat within the first few minutes when it puts a spear in your hand and tasks you to track and take down a woolly mammoth.

Game: Far Cry Primal
Consoles: Xbox One (reviewed), PS4, PC
Publisher: Ubisoft
Developer: Ubisoft Montreal
Release Date: Feb. 23

From that bloody beginning, you’re mired in the messy, brutal life of a caveman. While previous Far Cry games thrust you into the middle of nature, forcing you to survive on your cunning, wits and willingness to take on beasts one on one. Primal, though, strips away the luxury of guns and grenades and forces you to take down and control prehistoric beasts with fists and stone age weapons.

Set in Eastern Europe 12,000 years ago, the game poses you as an outcast from a tribe who is forced to cobble together allies, enemies and a growing mastery of nature to ensure your survival and rise to power. Taking on rival clans to gain control of resources and assets becomes a compelling metagame as you advance through the story.

It’s important that you enjoy the thrill of the hunt and kill, because if the repitition wears you down, there’s not much left to keep you occupied. The setting, not the story, is where the game thrives. Your options open up once you figure out how to take command of the beasts at your disposal, using birds as air strikes, saber-toothed tigers to ambush enemies and mammoths to maraud opponents’ structures.

A deep and involving game for those with the patience to prevail, Far Cry Primal is a throwback that draws primal screams of delight.

Far Cry Primal Reviews On The Web:

Far Cry Primal is a fantastic standalone title that also has enough historical research meat to keep history nerds happy.” – CGMagazine

“I’m suddenly excited again to see what Ubisoft Montreal’s Far Cry team comes up with.” – Post Arcade

“To domesticate beasts and fight with them is amazing, but the game system can be repetitive.” – Hobby Consolas

‘Street Fighter V’ Review: Must-See Details & Full Trailer

Street Fighter V review, sf4 review

Whenever a new Street Fighter game comes out, it’s not so much a decisive KO as it is an opening-round salvo. No matter what you see at first, you know there’s always more to come in the form of add-on character, costumes, stages and wholesale infrastructure upgrades.

Game: Street Fighter V
Consoles: PS4 (reviewed), PC
Publisher: Capcom
Developers: Capcom, Dimps
Release Date: Feb. 16

Usually all that comes in the form of re-releases and sequels, labeled “Turbo,” “Super,” “Arcade Edition” and the like, but that era appears to be over, with Capcom promising that Street Fighter V upgrades will be free and paid downloadable add-ons. That makes it a little easier to buy the latest game without fear that a better and cheaper version is coming along in six months. And gamers need that true believer style of confidence, because Street Fighter V at launch seems like something of a rush job that has a long way to go to be the game fans were expecting.

Server issues, choked lobbies and scaled-back multiplayer make the game seem like more of a beta than a full release. A March update promises to expand the lobby to full eight-player size. The slim 16-character launch roster and small rotation of background arenas make the gameplay cycle repetitive, and the new array of special moves takes more time than usual to adjust to.

On the upside, a comprehensive tutorial helps get you up to speed, the gameplay is some of the smoothest and most balanced in the history of the franchise, and the graphics and animateions are the pinnacle of the series.

Some more good stuff: In a multiplayer breakthrough for fighters, PS4 players can take on PC players online, and PS3 fight sticks from Street Fighter IV work on the new game. A story mode also fills out some of the gaps in the story and gives players who are sick of being beaten down online a place to hone their skills.

Street Fighter V may not be an instant smash, but there is potential for something great here, and the game in its current state is fun enough to keep you interested as it develops.

ORDER: Street Fighter V here


Street Fighter V Reviews Around The Web:

“If you are a Street Fighter fan, and are looking forward to seriously competing in this console generation’s great fighting game franchise, then your time has arrived.” –COGconnected

“Even as a person whose grasp of fighting games is nowhere near top-tier standard, Street Fighter V is the most fun I’ve had in a fighting game in years. –TheSixthAxis

“Capcom expects it to last a whole generation and that’s why they bet for new content that will be rolling for the next few years.” –LaPS4

A brother from Alpha Gamma Rho at Chico State accidentally shot himself earlier this week while he was cleaning his gun. Luckily it was only his hand that was hurt and he survived. Now that the hard stuff is out of the way, we can laugh about his stupidity. Right? RIGHT?!

Per The Orion:

Patient in the ER who accidentally shot himself in the hand. Patient stated he was cleaning his gun and it went off.

Yikes, sounds horrifying. And he was inside the fraternity house? Could you imagine being there for that? Hearing shots fired, running into the kid’s room expecting to see a scene straight out of Pulp Fiction, and realizing it was just your dumb brother cleaning his gun without the safety on? Not exactly exciting news… but we’re glad everyone is safe.

On a separate note, that’s far from the most bizarre thing that happened around the university that day.

New Facebook React Buttons: Full Story & Must-See Details

New Facebook Reactions

Facebook debuted a pretty important new feature today that will change the way you use the social media platform: reaction buttons. After testing the concept for nearly half a year, Facebook finally unveiled the final product today, on February 24th. All Facebook users will access to the new feature today. If you don’t see the option yet, don’t fret – it should get there within the next 24 hours.

Say goodbye to that measly like button and express your love through an actual love button. And for all those trolls out there, stop filling the comments section with grief and just pick a Facebook reaction button – we’ll all be better for it!

Here’s everything you need to know about the new Facebook feature:


How To Use New Facebook Reaction Buttons

Well, to be honest, it’s pretty simple. Here’s how the new Facebook posts look:

Facebook Reactions Feature

College Candy Facebook Reactions
As you can see, the additional face is one of the new Facebook reaction buttons. For a computer, hovering over the like button will open up to the other options. From there, you can pick which emoji you’d like featured.

As for your phone, holding down the Like button on your iPhone or Android will open the Facebook Reactions options.


What Are The Facebook Reaction Buttons?

The below gif features all of the new Facebook Reaction buttons. Take a look:
Facebook Reactions Gif
The like button will remain the same, but “love,” “haha,” “wow,” “sad,” and “angry” will also be options. While Facebook tested the “yay” button, they unfortunately decided to forgo the option. Which sucks, because obviously “yay!” can be used for pretty much anything.

Bloomberg Business elaborates:

Facebook Reactions won’t get rid of like—it will be an extension. Within the company, there was some debate on how to add the options without making every post look crowded with things to click. The simpler Facebook is to use, the more people will use it. Zuckerberg had a solution: Just display the usual thumbs-up button under each post, but if someone on her smartphone presses down on it a little longer, the other options will reveal themselves. Cox’s team went with that and added animation to clarify their meaning, making the yellow emojis bounce and change expression. The angry one turns red, looking downward in rage, for example. Once people click their responses, the posts in News Feed show a tally of how many wows, hahas, and loves each generated.

Here’s a quick breakdown of what each emoji means, per Tech Crunch:

Love: “Sometimes when a friend shares a post about a tragedy or something that annoys them, it doesn’t feel right to Like it, and commenting can be awkward, but you still want to express empathy… With any luck, this will encourage people to be more vulnerable on Facebook.”

Wow: “By adding Reactions, Facebook will now have a much more accurate perception of what we feel and what kind of posts resonate with each of us. It could eventually use that knowledge to better filter the News Feed to show more things that Wow us.”

Haha: “We comment “Lol” on so many posts that Facebook thought there could be a simpler way.”

Sad: “If something sad happens to a friend, Liking isn’t right, but adding a generic “sorry” comment can feel cold. By hitting the animated Sad button, you can express your condolences and solidarity.”

Angry: “There’s still no “Dislike” button, and that’s sure to piss some people off.”


What Do New Facebook Reactions Do?

The list is extensive. With the new Facebook reactions options you can express how you feel using six different Facebook emojis, each with a helpful description as to what they are below them. The new Facebook like button still includes a like, but it also includes a Love and four emoji that you can use to cover other emotions. Here’s a more thorough explanation:

The overall message is legitimate:

[Chris Cox] explained Facebook’s goal: a universal vocabulary that lets people express emotion as they scroll through their feed. In a sense, Reactions is an adaptation of digital culture in Asia, where messaging apps such as Line and WeChat have already established a complex language of emojis and even more elaborate “stickers.”

Regardless of what you think about the upcoming presidential election – and politics in general, for that matter – can we all just agree on one thing, please? Donald Trump and his loyal band of supporters are terrifying. I mean, come on. When you have a Canadian island welcoming Americans with open arms if he wins, you know something has to be wrong, right?

Apparently not considering he’s only lost one caucus thus far and looks to be the likely Republican nominee come Fall. But for those of us who still have functioning brain cells and a conscious, thinking about Trump running the country is enough to send you down a very dark, deep, and toupee-filled hole.

This girl knows what I’m talking about.

Chelsea is more than just a pretty face – she’s a Bernie Sanders supporter who spent her day calling Republicans to donate to money to the opposite party. Probably not the best move, but she learned that the hard way when she came across some pretty mean Donald Trump supporters. Feel free to cry on our shoulder, we feel your pain.

University of Arkansas’s Sigma Chi Suspended Over Hazing Allegations

UA Sigma Chi Suspension

University of Arkansas

University of Arkansas’s Sigma Chi has been officially suspended over recent hazing allegations.

According to The Arkansas Traveler, Dan Mathewson, the director of accountability and chapter accounts for Sigma Chi headquarters, sent two letters to the UA Omega Omega chapter of Sigma Chi on Jan. 30.

One letter requested that UA Sigma Chi members respond within seven days to the allegation that the Omega Omega chapter has been hazing its new members and has “provided false, misleading and/or dishonest information to the Amnesty Program,” according to the letter.

According to Parice Bowser, the school’s director of greek life, there have reportedly been minor and isolated incidents of hazing and the incidents are being investigated.

The other letter temporarily suspended the fraternity’s Omega Omega chapter from activities like social events, intramurals, pledge education, and initiation until the investigation is completed. After that’s finished, the OSSC and UA Greek Life may conduct another investigation of the chapter, depending on what the school finds.

Considering reports of the past, we can’t believe this is still going on. In the last two years, three UA Greek organizations have been found guilty of breaking hazing laws; Sigma Phi Epsilon in 2013, Sigma Chi in 2013, and Sigma Alpha Epsilon in 2014. Details on what happened remain scarce, but if they’re found guilty again, we’re sure they’ll come pouring out.

There have been many colorful characters that have played in the NBA. Shaquille O’Neal would be right up there on the list. The big center that was a terror on the court and a teddy bear off of it has made a ton of money since entering the league in 1992. While he is now retired and is part of TNT’s basketball coverage, he continues to rack up the dough. Here is a look at how Shaq got his current net worth.

The Big Cactus is taken first overall by the Orlando Magic and makes a tidy $3 million for his rookie season. His salary would increase to $5.7 million by his fourth season in Orlando but with the team now going anywhere, Shaq decides that he needs to get out of town.

O’Neal signs a seven-year, $121 million contract with the Los Angeles Lakers which unites him with Kobe Bryant in a 1990s version of Showtime. It is a financial windfall for O’Neal who also wins an Olympic gold medal. O’Neal also stars in the movie “Kazaam” which was a box office flop while making just $19 million at theatres.

O’Neal and Bryant would team up for three straight NBA titles while O’Neal watches his salary go up from the $10 million he made in 1996 to $21 million by the time the two had won their third straight title.

O’Neal plays his final four seasons in three different locations with stops with the Phoenix Suns, Cleveland Cavaliers and Boston Celtics. He makes $61 million while with Phoenix and Cleveland but just $1.3 million for his last year with the Celtics which allows him to make just over $292 million for his playing career.


Since his retirement, O’Neal has appeared in commercials all over the sports spectrum along with his television responsibilities.  There is no way that Shaq will be leaving the sports scene anytime soon.

16-Year-Old to Live With Russian Adult Film Star After Winning Weird Online Contest

So… Russia is weird… and also kind of awesome.

After winning a bizarre online contest, 16-year-old Ruslan Schedrin is packing up his bags and going to live with a porn star for a month. Things could definitely be worse.

Ruslan Schedrin and Ekaterina Makarova will be getting close in a Moscow hotel, and the kid’s family is less than thrilled. Schedrin, on the other hand, is freaking the f*ck out.

“I saw her and I liked everything, she has got good sizes…. and so on,” he said in a recent interview. “I am looking forward to our meeting so much, everything is boiling inside me. I am happy so much.” We bet.

Schedrin also has the option to pass the prize onto his “official representative” – or in his case, his father. Naturally his mom isn’t too keen on this idea either, so the kid really can’t win. However, he remains hopeful.

“I have told my mother and she has taken it badly, but I think we’ll sort it out,” he explained. “When I meet the girl, I’ll say: ‘Hi, I am that very boy, I’ve won you.'”

Looks like this kid might be a serial killer in the making… hopefully there are enough cameras to go around.

The starlet, who is in her mid-20’s, agreed to be the prize for the 100,000th visitor to a new website selling virtual arms for computer games. She has yet to meet the giddy Schedrin, but has already expressed that 16 is a “good age to be independent.” Is that code for “a good age for consensual boning?”

According to The Daily Mail, when asked if the prize meant having sex with the winner, Makarova said: “It is not supposed, but life is life.”

Ruslan: take that idea and run with it.
