At the end of the day, sports are only really good for two things. What are those two things? Drinking too much while yelling at your television and gambling. Because really, everything is so much better when you gamble on it. Don’t believe me? The next time you have to do anything you don’t want to do, gamble on it. Have to go to your little sister’s tap dancing recital? Bet your dad $15 the girl all the way on the left will mess up first. Have to go to Ikea with your girlfriend? Bet her $20 that you can open five pieces of DIY furniture before an employee asks you what you’re doing. In the spirit of gambling your life away, here are my picks for the upcoming eight games of the Sweet 16. Why should you listen to me? Not sure, but can you do better? (All spreads via OddShark.)

Miami vs. Villanova

Miami: +4.5 , -110
Villanova: -4.5 , -110

On paper, Villanova seems like a no-brainer. Formerly a one seed, the Wildcats are sitting pretty at a two seed after handily dismantling UNC Asheville and Iowa by 20+ points each. That being said, UNC Asheville was a 15 seed that baffled experts when selected to for competition and personally, I think Iowa was a slightly overseeded. On the other hand, Miami is a three seed that barely scraped by in the first round against 14 seed Buffalo and only beat 11 seeded Wichita St. by 12. When taking into account the four and a half point spread, I do think that Nova is the better bet here, mostly because the organization has more backhalf tournament experience. A surefire bet? Well, no bet is, but this one isn’t bad. I don’t see Miami coming out of this one victorious at all, especially since pretty much everyone has been saying that Nova is due for a loss, they have so far amassed a 40 point margin between them and their opponents in only two games. As for taking either moneyline, I wouldn’t bother. If you’re going to go for broke, at least go broke.

Texas A&M vs. Oklahoma

Texas A&M: +2 , -110
Oklahoma: -2 , -110

I’m going to be honest, this game has the potential to either a bank rolling two hours or a dumpster fire fueled by hot garbage. This is for two reasons. While this game sees a two seed taking on a three seed, both of whom had very successful regular seasons, both of these teams have also had a rough go of it in the tournament. After gliding through the first round, Texas A&M had to go to double OT to polish off 11 seed University of Northern Iowa (who, granted, was looking great up until the final minutes) while the Sooners only managed to beat VCU by four points in regulation. Taking both of these into account, I’d jump on the A&M bandwagon on this one. Between getting two points and proving themselves a formidable fourth quarter team, the Aggies are the better bet and give gamblers the world over a nice little cushion.

Maryland vs. Kansas

Maryland: +7 , -110
Kansas: -7 , -110

Ah, a seven point spread. Large spreads always freak me out a little bit. Mostly because they’re harder to cover. With this one, though, I’m not sure if the worry is that warranted. For one, Kansas has been on an absolute warpath. They dominated 16 seed Austin Peay in the first round 105-79. Yep, they scored over 100 points in tournament game? You know who does that? Teams that get seven point spreads going in a Sweet 16 game. On the other hand, Maryland barely beat South Dakota St. in the first round before being forced to rally in the second half against University of Hawaii’s Rainbow Warriors. I think Kansas is a very safe bet here, but I also think that you could stand to win a mountain of money on Maryland if they play like they haven’t played before. While maybe we should be a bit nervous about the seven point spread, Kansas has scored 182 combined points this tournament thus far, I’m sure they can find 8 points lying around to let you keep your money.

Duke vs. Oregon

Duke: +2.5 , -110
Oregon: -2.5 , -110

For the sake of honesty, I don’t like Duke. Yes, Coach Kay is a legend and they have all kinds of legacies in their hallowed halls. But at the end of the day, I find it pretty easy to root against them. That being said, there’s a 100% chance I’m taking the Dukies in this one. Yes, Oregon is a one seed, but they barely beat St. Joe’s in the second round while Duke has pretty easily beat both of their previous opponents. Also, Oregon has 160 points the last two games while Duke has 164. Again, different games and different teams, but I really don’t see the Ducks walking out of that arena dry eyes, as much as I hate to see it.

Friday, March 25th

Iowa State vs. Virginia

Iowa State: +4.5 , -110
Virginia: -4.5 , -110

This one is pretty cut and dry. Why? Well, selfishly, I chose Virginia to win my bracket, but that’s not to say I was just throwing darts at a board. As a one seed, Virginia has cleaned house thus far, scoring nearly double the points that Hampton scored in their first round game before easily beating Butler by 11. Iowa State, for their part, have beaten both of their opponents easily, but also haven’t really been playing Virginia’s caliber of competition thus far. Even with the four and half point cushion, I do not think that Iowa State will be able to topple Virginia.

Wisconsin vs. Notre Dame

Wisconsin: +7 , -110
Notre Dame: -7 , -110

A seven point spread on this game is BEE-OLD. Wisconsin has been the upset mastermind this tournament and Notre Dame is only ranked a single seed higher than them. Plus, Notre Dame barely squeaked out both of those victories. Without even a thought Wisconsin should be the move on this one.

Gonzaga vs. Syracuse

Gonzaga: -5 , -110
Syracuse: +5 , -110

This game is a bit more up in the air than the other ones. Mostly because of the unknowns. To begin with, Syracuse has done nothing but exceed expectations after the entire sports world raised absolute hell when they were selected to compete. After an underdog victory over Dayton, Cuse took down Middle Tennessee, the 15 seed who took down Michigan St. Also, Gonzaga upset Seton Hall pretty easily and upset third seeded Utah even easier. However, if that one has been exceeding more expectations, I’d say the Orange. For a team that supposedly never had any business being in the tournament, they sure have proven their eligibility. And, the kicker, I have a feeling this game is going to go down to the absolute wire, so having a 6 point cushion definitely won’t hurt your wallet.

Indiana vs. UNC

Indiana: +6.5 , -107
UNC: -6.5 , -107

I feel like the Hoosiers are an inescapable entity at this point in American culture. They have the Gene Hackman movie. They routinely make the tournament. Even the Pacers threw them some love and wore their jerseys this season. And here they are again, at the bottom of my list but the top of my other list. Specifically, my “Bets I Want to Make but Have No Clue Whether It’s a Good One or Not” list. While a one seed, UNC has not won either of their games by margins typical of a one seed. They only beat 16 seed Florida Gulf Coast by 16 and had a rough first half against Providence before ultimately besting them. On the other hand, Indiana decisively beat Chattanooga in the first round and toppled Kentucky in the second round. The safe bet here is obviously UNC, but if you’re feeling bold, the Hoosiers are a nice pick. Plus, with the Hoosiers, you have 7 points to play with, which goes along way when UNC inevitably backs off a tad if taking a commanding but shrinkable lead.

You ever seen the Johnny Depp movie Blow? The one where he plays cocaine smuggling crime lord George Jung? Well, at one point in that movie he uses a flight attendant to smuggle marijuana. Well, guess what people, someone tried that in real life: except with cocaine. Needless to say, it didn’t work as well as it did in the movie.`

According to the LA Times,  less than a day after she dropped a bag loaded with cocaine at a security checkpoint and sprinted out of Los Angeles International Airport, a JetBlue flight attendant managed to board one of her company’s planes and travel to New York City, a law enforcement source told the Los Angeles Times.

Marsha Reynolds, a Queens, New York resident, was arrested in New York on Wednesday, being charged th possession of cocaine with intent to distribute. After a little investigative journalism (LOL), I found that the typical punishment for these type of charges in far from light, as Reynolds faces a minimum of 10 years in prison if convicted.:

Although the maximum and minimum sentences vary for intent to distribute, depending on the state where the crime is charged, any past criminal history, and any evidence of having sought drug treatment. In some states, possession of certain drugs for sale, such as schedule II drugs like cocaine or methamphetamine, can lead to sentences of up to 40 years in prison and fines of up to $50,000. In other states, sentences may start at 2 to 4 years in prison, but increase rapidly to 20 or even 30 years if certain aggravating circumstances (like having a large amount of the drugs) are shown.

So what happened, but more importantly, how in the absolute f*ck did she get a load of cocaine the size on a child onto a commercial airline?

Reynolds arrived at LAX’s Terminal 4 around 7 p.m. Friday and provided her badge to a Transportation Security Administration officer, according to the complaint. The officer confirmed that she was a pre-screened crew member when the scanner randomly selected her for additional security screening. Airport and airline staff aren’t subject to routine security checks at LAX.

Reynolds became nervous and made a phone call, talking to someone in a foreign language as she was escorted to a second checkpoint, the complaint said.

As they approached the checkpoint, Reynolds began to walk farther behind the security officer. When they arrived at the screening area, Reynolds dropped her luggage, kicked off her heels and sprinted away from the area, according to the complaint. She barreled down an escalator the wrong way, exited the terminal and kept racing toward Terminal 5, the complaint said.

Wow. What a sh*t shw. A for effort, but F for execution, Marsha.

Oh, and, this is Marsha:

If you wonder how Donald Trump came to be a powerhouse in the GOP primary election, just turn to North Carolina. According to The Huffington Post, the state’s General Assembly voted Wednesday to block cities and counties from passing protections against LGBT discrimination, an interesting move considering it’s 2016.

HB 2, which passed in a special session, would set a statewide anti-discrimination policy, banning employers and businesses from discriminating against employees or customers based on their race, color, country of origin, religion, age or “biological sex.” The bill offers no protections for lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender people, and prevents local governments from passing any nondiscrimination policy that goes beyond the statewide standard.

The law also prevents schools from allowing transgender people to use the bathroom of the gender they actually identify with, since it’s not their “biological sex.”

So, this is what we’ve come to. Shortly after news broke, Twitter became a firestorm of outrage with the trending hashtag #WeAreNotThis, where people across the nation announced their disgust… and other feelings:

“This bill essentially repeals 50 years of non-discrimination efforts and gives lawmakers in Raleigh unprecedented control over our city and local governments,” Senate Democratic Leader Dan Blue said in a statement. “North Carolina Republicans want to pass what would potentially be the single most discriminatory act in the country. This is a direct affront to equality, civil rights, and local autonomy.”

Way to go North Carolina. Here’s hoping legislators get their heads out of their asses and focus on more important issues sometime in the near future.

In the single greatest move in the history of college basketball, Kentucky Wildcats coach John Calipari just announced that his entire team (including walk-ons) will be declaring for the NBA Draft.

Update: Isaac Humphries and Tai Wynyard are too young to be eligible for this year’s draft.

Even though there’s absolutely zero chance that everyone gets an invite to the NBA Combine, it’s still awesome. Essentially he’s doubling-down on his promise to recruits that anything and everything he does is to make sure they have a successful pro career.

Here’s Calipari’s exact quote:

Met with our team today. Told them that during the season it’s about the team and sacrificing for each other – which they did this year. When the season’s over, it’s about each individual player and what’s right for them and their families. With that being said, every player who is eligible for the draft, including our walk-ons, will submit their names for the NBA Draft in hopes of being invited to the combine in May.

The new rule states they can submit their name a total of three times. If they choose to withdraw, they have until 10 days after the combine. It’s a true win-win for the student-athlete.

Obviously both Coach Cal and Wildcat Nation are upset about their early exit from the NCAA Tournament, but I respect the hell out of this guy for remaining positive. If you’re a high school player, this is exactly the kind of guy you want as your coach. Lively, fun, successful.

I live for a good upset. It’s half of the reason I watch March Madness. I can watch a number one seed smack around a 16 seed anytime I want during the regular season. But during the postseason? No way. Give me a 15 seed nailing a game-winning buzzer beater and the entire one seed’s bench crying their all day. That being said, most of the time, the upsets get out of the way early, leading to the later rounds to be kind of boring. Thankfully, the tournament gods sometimes are able to sneak an upset or two into the Sweet 16 for our viewing pleasure. Below, check out some of the best Sweet 16 upsets in tourney history.

Indiana Hoosiers vs. Duke Blue Devils – 2002

Yeah yeah, we all the movie Hoosiers. Gene Hackman as the basketball coach for a bunch of farm boys? Award-winning. However, I would argue that the greatest Hoosier game ever played wasn’t in 1954, but instead in 2002, when the number five seeded Indiana overcame a 17-point deficit against the number one seeded Duke to win the game and advance to the Elite Eight. Also, to keep things exciting, the Dukeys sunk a three-pointer with 4.2 seconds left, but ended up missing the free throw, allowing Indiana to cement their victory. You can watch the whole game here, which is kind of bold but definitely worth it.

Missouri vs. UCLA – 2002

When making a top five list, it’ll probably be odd to most people that a game that was won by a substantial 10-point margin without ever really being too close would be exciting enough to make the cut. However, this game is special, mostly because Missouri was and still is the only 12th seeded team to ever win a Sweet 16 game. When you think about all the years that college basketball has existed for, that’s pretty big potatoes. Especially because in 2002, UCLA’s roster was rocking a number of future NBA players, including Jason Kapono, who led the league in three-pointers for two consecutive seasons.

George Mason vs. Wichita St. – 2006

I’m going to be honest, the first time I had ever heard about George Mason University  was in 2006 when they made the Cinderella run to end all Cinderella runs in the tournament. Really, any list about upsets in the NCAA tournament would have these guys on it, but their win in the Sweet 16 against Wichita St. was the one that both elevated them as the team of the tournament as well as set them up for another underdog victory in the Elite Eight before a definitive but heart-breaking loss in the Final Four to the eventual National Champs, the Florida Gators. Yes, while we haven’t seen much of George Mason since, this one should make up for a good 20 years of under accomplishment. 

Loyola Marymount vs. Alabama – 1990

Under normal circumstances, an 11 seed upsetting seven seed wouldn’t really huge news. The big news would more than likely be the fact that both an 11 seed and a seven seed made it to the Sweet 16 to begin with. However, this was notable for a number of reasons. The first was that Alabama was led by Wimp Sanderson, a distinguished head coach who had racked up three SEC Coach of the Year awards in four years and an NCAA Coach of the Year award three years prior. The other was that the Loyola Marymount program was still reeling from the on-court death of player Hank Gathers, a story many know from the ESPN 30 for 30 segment Guru of Go.

With that in mind, seeing LMU not only reach the Sweet 16 but advance to the Elite Eight is pretty spectacular, especially since the game came down to the wire with a 62-60 victory. 

Virginia Commonwealth vs. Florida State – 2011

Yep, I’m running away from the past on this one and jumping into this decade. Why? One compound word. Overtime. Heading into the 2011 tournament, VCU was given an 11 seed while Florida State was wildly under-ranked as a 10 seed, leading them to handily reach the Sweet 16. While the game was tight, it ultimately went to OT due to FSu sinking a few buzzer-beating points. You can watch the final seconds of OT and the live reaction of VCU fans via some dude’s iPhone here.

I’ve been watching sports for a long time. Maybe about 15 years or so now. And in that time, I have never, EVER, seen an athlete that so frequently teeters between universally beloved, and hated.

Enter Lebron James, who seems hellbent on making 2016 a year in which everyone hates him. James has almost immediately tarnished the good will he built up by returning to Cleveland and dragging their sorry asses to the finals. Between his subtweets that resemble that of a high school chick, his public affection for Dwayne Wade (and every other player not on his OWN team), and all the other geneal whining he has done this year, LBJ is starting to rub people the wrong way. So much so that both the Cavs coach and GM had to tell Lebron to chill the f*ck out.

According to Cleveland.com, Cavs coach Tyronn Lue said:

“I just told him we can’t have that, being down like we were and him being the leader,” Lue told cleveland.com. “Just me being a competitor, I didn’t like it. We had a long talk about it. It was good. He understood, he apologized, and he’s been great.”

Similarly, after Lebron’s public comments about playing with his BFFs Wade, Melo, and CP3, the Cavs GM also had to tell Lebron to STFU:

Griffin’s talk with James on Wednesday afternoon was a little more general, but was sparked by James’ comments to The Bleacher Report that he wanted to play with Carmelo Anthony, Dwyane Wade, and Chris Paul on the same team for a “year or two.”

Lue said James apologized to him for his behavior at halftime Saturday night, and Griffin’s discussion with James was positive and productive, with James echoing recent public statements about an upward trend for the Cavs heading into the playoffs.

Lebron, I know you’ve been spoiled rotten since the time you were 10, but believe it or not, LIFE IS NOT PERFECT. So quit b*tching all the time, embrace the fact that you’re one of the richest and most recognizable men in the world, and move forward. 85% of this planet wants to trade lives with you, yet here you are, acting like a hormonal teenager. Get a grip dude. We get that you’re butt hurt that Steph Curry stole your throne over night, but seriously, get a f*cking grip.

As an adult, you’ve probably noticed that Easter has become more and more boring. Instead of Easter Egg Hunts, your days are now filled with Church, late brunches, and young children you have no desire of ever seeing.

Enter Full Bunny Contact–an event designed by adults, for adults (not that kind of event) that’s looking to give grown-ups something fun and different for Easter. FBC is an Easter battleground where New Yorkers are pitted against evil bunnies for cash, candy and other prizes. It’s created & directed by Timothy Haskell (creator of Nightmare Haunted House, Santastical and co-owner / designer of Escape the Room).

The event first began back in 2014 and has since evolved into something people look forward to each year. Guests and attendees take part in competitions like The Cage, Wabbit Warrior Jousting Arena, and Little Bunny Fufu’s Homerun Derby. There’s also a Humiliating Hare Photo Booth for you to take holiday pictures you won’t want to share with your family.

Check out some of those events below.

We had a really good time with the Full Bunny Contact crew and those nasty f*cking rabbits. You should also know that there’s a bar. Which is awesome.

So if you’re looking to switch it up from your regular Easter activities, head on over to Full Bunny Contact located at 107 Suffolk Street from 7:00 PM-10:00 PM.

You know what sucks? Finding out you’re being cheated on. You know what sucks even more? Finding out you’re being cheated on with a sh*t ton of people when it’s almost your birthday. Birthdays should be about you, not your a**hole girlfriend who can’t seem to keep her pants on. Luckily this guy managed to make it about both, until plans went haywire.

Some scorned man from the Redditverse posted about his cheating girlfriend and how he was going to get her back. The plan was amazing — he was going to present her a card that detailed all the f*cked up stuff she was doing at his birthday dinner that night in front of a large group of his friends. Talk about embarrassing.

My first instinct was that it looks like an engagement (but who gets engaged via card?). Naturally, it wasn’t:

AMAZING! But the idiot couldn’t contain his excitement about the plans, so he posted to Reddit before actually going through with it. And since every single person in the world has gone through Reddit at least once in their lives, his girlfriend’s friend found it, realized it was about her, and told her about the plan.

Here’s how it went down:

Go f*ck yourself indeed.

In the last 22 years of my life, I would say that I’ve only been excited for the Sweet 16 for about 11 of them. Listen, don’t blame me. Half of the time, all the exciting teams are out of the running well before we hit the Sweet 16. Which is kind of a shame when you think about it, because we watch all of those other games in preparation for the Sweet 16. But then it doesn’t work. Such a shame.

This year, however, the Sweet 16 is going to be awesome. Yes, the big underdogs are gone, but sending a huge underdog to the Sweet 16 usually just sets them up for failure anyway. Unless they end up winning, in which case everyone suddenly loves them. Regardless, here is your go-to guide for where and when to watch all eight Sweet 16 games.

The term “Good Friday” is misleading. Because there’s nothing good about it. Jesus Christ was crucified on Good Friday. The word “Good” means “holy”, and Good Friday is observed as a holy day. Which makes me wonder if the word “holiday” came to us from “holy-day”. And from hence forever forward, we decided to name the days we skip school – holidays.

Good Friday is the Friday before Easter Sunday, on which the Crucifixion of Jesus Christ is commemorated in the Christian Church. It is traditionally a day of fasting and penance.

That’s right: NO drinking.

In Ireland, it’s actually illegal to sell alcohol on Good Friday – a ban dating back to 1927. Pubs are closed entirely and restaurants are forbidden to sell booze to patrons. On the eve of Good Friday, Irish supermarkets are often overloaded with people, stocking up on alcohol as though the city was going to shut down forever.

They are Irish. What do you expect?

When is Good Friday?

This year, Good Friday is on March 25, 2016.

Why is it called Good Friday?

The famous Bible story begins with Judas Iscariot’s betrayal of Jesus. Despite being one of Christ’s disciples, Judas betrayed Christ. Jesus was brought before the Roman governor Pontius Pilate. Although Pilate could not find any evidence against Jesus, he gave in to the crowd’s clamor to crucify Christ. Christ was flogged, made to wear a crown of thorns, and eventually crucified alongside two common criminals. The story goes that when Christ finally gave up his spirit there was an earthquake. This happened on Friday, which later came to be known as Good Friday.

Jesus’s followers later placed his body in a tomb just before sunset. However, the tale does not end here. On the third day, which is now known as Easter, Jesus rose from the grave. As American author Susan Coolidge put it, “Earth’s saddest day and gladdest day were just three days apart!”

What is Good Friday?

Good Friday is a day of mourning and sorrow over the sacrificial death of Jesus Christ and a reminder that the sins of all people made it necessary for him to die in the first place. It’s also a day of gratitude for the supreme sacrifice that he made.

Some believe that its name was originally God’s Friday, which, over the years, became its present name. In Germany, Christians call it Quiet Friday (from noon on Friday until Easter morning, church bells remain silent). Christians in other parts of Europe call it Great Friday or Holy Friday.

Protestant churches sometimes hold services between noon and 3:00 p.m. to commemorate Jesus’ hours on the cross. Catholics often remove everything from the altar and kiss the crucifix as an expression of worship. Some churches even hold a Service of Darkness in which candles are extinguished until people are left sitting in total darkness, as a reminder of the darkness that covered the earth after Jesus died.

Good Friday is a reminder of the compassion and sacrifice of Jesus Christ. Whether or not you’re religious, Good Friday tells us a tale of hope.

Yesterday video of Katt Williams losing a fight with a teenager went viral. It was tough to know the full story because we only saw clips, but now a young man named Ryan Carr has uploaded the full video of what went down.

Even though the video still shows Katt somewhat embarassingly getting handled, it also shows that the teenager was being a punk and that the people around him did not appreciate the fact that he was “ruining it for everybody.”

So what was he ruining? Katt Williams showed up to the hood in Gainesville, GA completely unannounced and played soccer with a bunch of kids. After the game, you can see the punk follow Katt Williams, keep chirping even when it’s clear Katt wants nothing to do with him, then gets all up in his face.

Check out the video below:

Notice how the punk realizes what he’s actually done after he gets Katt into a chokehold.

Marsha Gay Reynolds, the Jet Blue flight attendant who late last week attempted to smuggle cocaine onto an airplane at LAX, turned herself in to Federal authorities in New York.

Reynold’s story went viral late last week after authorities reported that an unknown woman carrying a “known crewmember badge” had been chosen for a random secondary search. Upon realizing she would be searched, Marsha stepped out of line, made a phone call, and then ran. At first she left carrying her bags and Gucci shoes, but soon dumped both and escaped.

Scared it might be a bomb, the TSA didn’t chase after her. Instead they called in a dog and waited. Police discovered that Marsha’s bag contained 70 pounds of cocaine wrapped in green cellophane labeled “BIG Ranch.”

Who Is Marsha Reynolds?

Marsha is a 32-year-old flight attendant for Jet Blue. She’s a graduate of New York University, where she studied English and Creative Writing. In addition to studying, Marsha also competed on the NYU Track team in 2004 which might explain how she was able to escape the police.

You’ll also probably be interested to know that Marsha was a former beauty pageant contestant. Not only was Marsha the third-place winner of the 2008 Miss Jamaica World and runner-up in the 2007 Miss Jamaica Universe, she was first runner-up in Miss Jamaica US back in 2005.

It may be the greatest existential dilemma of my young life: Is Iggy Azalea hot?

It’s a seemingly simple question, with a far more convoluted answer. Kind of like Batman V. Superman. On the surface, it seems like a no-brainer of a question, and that the consensus of Iggy Azalea among bros should be such: “Well, yeah, her music sucks. But I’d hit it. You know you wouldn’t say no, bro.” Fair. I definitely would not say no. But that doesn’t answer the question: is Iggy Azalea hot?

Iggy Azalea: 22 Hottest Photos on the Internet

Nick Young, we envy you.

First, her latest photo shoot, from Remix:

Again, shouldn’t be a hard decision. But let’s examine further, because I have a couple of theories:

Theory #1: She’s a clone (or something): You conspiracy theorists out there will know where I’m coming from, but Iggy Azalea, for better or for worse, looks like she was genetically engineered in an experimental lab somewhere in Europe. Also, it looks like the scientists used too much “stuff”. I don’t know what the “stuff” is, but whatever makes her ass and lips and basically every feature she has look like that, they used too much of it. I mean, sh*t, she looks like one of the dudes from White Chicks.

Theroy #2: Iggy Azalea is an advanced AI sex doll that became sentient (similar to the chick in Terminator 3: Rise of The Machines): Take a good hard look at that first picture and tell me she doesn’t look like a sex doll. If you’ve never seen a stereotypical sex doll, this is what it looks like: 

Eerily similar, I know. AND, if you don’t believe in the whole “AI sex doll” thing, check out these very real Google search suggestions:

Theory #3: She’s a horrible rapper with questionable plastic surgery that is just trolling us all at this point: Yawn. Next.

Theory #4: She’s an alien, which would explain her music: They snuck Nicki Minaj past us, so they thought they thought they could do it again with Iggy Azalea. How wrong they were. Iggy Azalea is an alien, straight the f*ck up, and she’s not very good at hiding it. Check out this video:

If that isn’t alien tongue, then I don’t know WTF it is. It certainly isn’t any identifiable human language.

Conclusion: Despite the fact we literally have no idea who/what she is, Iggy Azalea is hot, and any guy that says they wouldn’t sleep with her is a two faced liar. However, that does not diminish the fact that she could be any one of these theories, and that she can not be trusted.

The idea behind Microsoft’s TayTweets (@TayAndYou)–the Twitter bot that learned from its experiences on social media–was a good one. A ton of tech experts and websites believe localized bots are the next logical step in mankind’s interaction with the world wide web. Do yourself a favor and read this article about “killer bots” by TheVerge. So the fact that Microsoft was willing to step to the plate and create @TayAndYou was pretty cool.

According to The Telegraph, Tay was designed to talk like a teenage girl, an effort that Microsoft would help them with customer service on their voice recognition software. Personally, I don’t think people in customer service want to talk to a teenage girl who speaks in slang, but that’s besides the point.

The point is that Tay’s very education (learned solely from its experiences on Twitter, Kik, or GroupMe) was always a doomed one. Why? Because those places are filled with trolls who love to destroy nice things.

At first, @TayAndYou was saying cool stuff and loving life. She was writing things like this:

After awhile, she started showing some signs of weirdness. It wasn’t too long before she started calling people “daddy” or asking her followers to “f*ck” her.

Then in less than 24 hours, she reached full troll status and started posting racist and Nazi stuff.

Update–3/25/2016: Microsoft has wisely deleted all the offensive tweets, but the good news is that we’ve saved them for all of time with these screenshots. In the interest of staying fair and balanced, we’ve also included Microsoft’s statement about the TayTweets at the bottom.

Here’s Microsoft’s response:

Unfortunately, within the first 24 hours of coming online we became aware of a coordinated effort by some users to abuse Tay’s commenting skills to have Tay respond in inappropriate ways. As a result, we have taken Tay offline and are making adjustments.

So, this is awkward.

A horrifying video went viral this week after dancer Gyal Flexi accidentally lit her crotch on fire during a routine. How did this happen, you might ask? Well, like any crotch fire usually does: Flexi rubbed alcohol on her shorts so she could light herself on fire for a second, then extinguish the flames like any genius would. Because it totally added to her routine and needed to be done. Totally. 

The video (which is below), shows nine horrifying seconds of the woman trying to put out the fire while simultaneously trying to keep her cool and keep dancing. But when your crotch is on fire, it’s pretty hard to do that:

Dear God.

According to TMZ, the woman is in good health (as are her lady parts, for the most part) and will compete later this year in an international fire-dancing contest in Jamaica. Unfortunately for Flexi, she did suffer first-degree burns all over her crotch and lost several layers of skin, which is equal parts nauseating and absolutely terrifying. But then it’s like, what exactly do you expect when you purposely light your vajay on fire?

If you really want to see the uncensored photo, you can find it on TMZ. But be warned — you can never unsee this.

If I had a dollar for every time some random guy came up to me on the street asking if I’d have sex with him, I’d have like -$5. Who the f*ck asks that and why? That’s creepy as hell and I advise everyone with a pulse to never, ever do that. Ever. Unless they want to be perceived as the next Patrick Bateman, then by all means.

With that being said, it’s completely normal for chicks to be appalled when asked that question in reality. Thankfully we’ll never have to try it out – Cody from Smooth POV did it for us and the results were hilarious. Although dude was completely ripped apart and presumably has some self-esteem issues after returning.

See Cody here went to Lake Havasu to ask a bunch of hot girls whether or not they would sleep with him, and things went exactly the way you would think — except like way, way worse. Not only were a ton of the girls asked pretty pissed about the question, the others took it literal when he asked them why. The complaints were as follows:

“24? That’s old!”

“Umm…you’re a little skinny.”

“I like taller guys…”

“HAHAHAHAA no.”

Way to hold back the tears, Cody. Check out the full video below.

Literally everything can kill you — food, the weather, your house, women — but what you wouldn’t expect to bring the Grim Reaper is an afternoon nap. Sadly that’s all about to change.

According to a new study presented at the American College of Cardiology’s annual conference, taking a nap for 40 minutes or longer could lead to serious health complications, including premature death. According to Mirror,

Scientists who studied more than 300,000 people found taking long naps during the day is linked to a higher risk of developing metabolic syndrome.

The umbrella term covers conditions including high blood pressure and cholesterol, having excess fat around the waist, and high blood sugar.

All raise your risk of heart disease and premature death.

The findings, presented at the American College of Cardiology’s annual conference, show that sleeping for 40 minutes or longer was tied to a steep increase in the risk of being diagnosed with metabolic syndrome.

Well that’s upsetting, considering napping is literally my favorite pastime. Dr Tomohide Tamada, PhD diabetologist at the University of Tokyo and lead author of the study, elaborated: “Clarifying the relationship between naps and metabolic disease might offer a new strategy of treatment, especially as metabolic disease has been increasing steadily all over the world.”

Wow, great. That’s just f*cking great. I’m not giving up napping, that’s just un-American. Luckily researchers approved 40 minutes of afternoon slumber, but if you hit that snooze button even for just five minutes, the risk of metabolic syndrome dramatically increases.

On the bright side, if you nap for a half hour your chances of having the syndrome slightly decreased. So there’s that. So let’s go with that – six half hour naps throughout the day will make you live longer. You heard it here FIRST!

Finally, we're doing something right.

In perhaps the snakiest move we’ve ever seen from an NBA player, LA Laker D’Angelo Russell recorded a video of a private conversation he was having with his teammate Nick Young who clearly was unaware that he was on film. It reveals that Nick cheated on Iggy Azalea sometime this year.

Unfortunately for D’Angelo Russell, the Laker rookie was just hacked yesterday (so coincidental!) so there’s a chance that this video is part of what came from that hack. I don’t buy that story but even if it’s true you’ll see why D Lo still deserves to get his a** beat.

The video, which was downloaded and uploaded to Twitter by @Fameolous, depicts a distracted Nick Young talking to D’Angelo about a young 19-year-old girl he met in the club. Nick then asks him about whether he tried it with Amber Rose. But don’t take our word for it, watch below.

There’s a lot of alarming things going on here, so let’s just slow down and address them all one by one:

1. Nick Young is watching E!

I know that he’s married to Iggy Azalea and living in Los Angeles, but c’mon dude. You’re hanging out with your boy (who sidenote is a piece of sh*t)! Throw on SportsCenter, a movie, or even cartoons. Just not E!.

2. D’Angelo Russell is recording private conversations with teammates.

That’s inexcusable bullsh*t. It’s one thing to keep lockerroom conversations in the lockerroom, it’s something else completely to be recording private conversations you’re having with your teammate in their home.

And while we have no idea whose house it actually is, safe money is that it’s Swaggy P’s house from the way he’s chilling on his laptop.

3. He was asking leading questions.

Seriously, what the f*ck was D’Angelo doing asking those questions while recording? Even if these weren’t published by him, why was he ever talking about this while he was filming? The first and most obvious assumption is because he was holding them for blackmail.

Obviously we’re not going to hear how this resolves itself, because this will be handled behind closed doors, but you can you bet your bottom dollar that D’Angelo is going to get some serious sh*t for this.

As a rebuttal, I’d like to highlight this comment from Reddit user /u/babyyouresomoney because it brings to light a pretty good point:

I don’t know, if Dlo is smart enough to put his hoodie on and stay out of that picture with Clarkson and Swaggy’s alleged sexual harassment , I think he’d be smart enough to not blackmail Swaggy like this. There’s got to be more to this story.

But since I’m the writer of this story, I’ll get last word. I don’t care if there’s more to the story. If I’m a professional athlete doing dirt (and they’re all pretty much doing dirt) the last thing I want is someone on my side, on my team recording stuff without my knowledge.

If I’m a Laker fan, I’m also pissed.
