Deshauna Barber: 22 Hottest Photos of Miss USA 2016

Miss USA Deshauna Barber

Deshauna Barber, a US Army Reserve Officer and IT analyst, was crowned Miss USA 2016 last night. The representative from Washington DC stunned the crowd with her looks and her answer to a somewhat difficult question about the role of women in the military.

Deshauna will now go on to represent the United States in the Miss Universe pageant, sometime next December.

“As a woman in the United States Army, I think it was an amazing job by our government to allow women to integrate into every branch of the military… We are just as tough as men. As a commander of my unit, I’m powerful, I am dedicated and it is important that we recognize that gender does not limit us in the United States.”

LMFAO: You Have To Watch This Drunk Driving Russian Get The Crap Kicked Out Of Him

I don’t know if this is definitely in Russia, but I think it’s certainly a safe bet to assume it is. Or at least near Russia. And no, I don’t think this is Russia because of the language their speaking — I think this is Russia based on the Florida-like craziness of the video.

My Russian buddy who works next to me was able to confirm that yes, they are speaking Russian, and yes, almost every single word in the video is a curse word. Unsurprisingly, I have zero clue what the driver’s game plan was. A little liquid courage was obviously involved in the equation, but still, I don’t see the reasoning behind picking a fight with this dude. I mean, let’s forget everything else for a second: the guy he is trying to punch is wearing a f*cking racing helmet. Good luck breaking through that one, buddy.

Now, maybe he picked the fight because the bikers cut him off and he was concerned with the well being of his car? Nope. Because as soon as he hops out the whip, he doesn’t even put it in park — the car just keeps on rolling down the dusty trail.

The Insane History, Stories, And Background of D-Day For The 70th Anniversary

Today, June 6th, on the anniversary of the D-Day Invasion and Normandy Beach, we wanted to give you some interesting facts and details about the largest amphibious assault in history, and the single most important victory for the Allies in World War II.

Hopefully you’ve seen Saving Private Ryan or Band of Brothers which both give you a somewhat realistic account of what a nightmare the invasion looked like for some of the Allied forces, but there’s still a trove of fascinating information about Normandy, the invasion, and the ensuing battles that you might not know about.


D-Day Facts

Date: Sunday, June 6th, 1944
Time: 6:30 AM (first landings)
Location: Normandy Beaches, France (Utah Beach, Omaha Beach, Gold Beach, Juno Beach, Sword Beach)
Allied Forces: 156,000 troops landed, 6,939 vessels (Operation Neptune), 11,590 aircraft
Allied Casualties: At least 10,000, with 4,414 confirmed dead
Axis Casualties: Around 1,000 men


What Was D-Day?

Technically speaking, D-Day is actually repetitive, since “D” means “day.” From Wikipedia:

The terms D-Day and H-Hour are used for the day and hour on which a combat attack or operation is to be initiated. They designate the day and hour of the operation when the day and hour have not yet been determined, or where secrecy is essential. For a given operation, the same D-Day and H-Hour apply for all units participating in it. When used in combination with numbers, and plus or minus signs, these terms indicate the point of time preceding or following a specific action… Planning papers for large-scale operations are made up in detail long before specific dates are set. Thus, orders are issued for the various steps to be carried out on the D-Day or H-Hour minus or plus a certain number of days, hours, or minutes. At the appropriate time, a subsequent order is issued that states the actual day and times.

The Invasion of Normandy began on June 6th and wouldn’t be finished until nearly two months after–mostly in part because of the Allies’ extremely unfavorable terrain they had to secure.


Why Normandy Beach? The invasion’s code name was Operation Overlord. Officers in command decided the invasion should  take place at Normandy Beach because for the following reasons (/u/TheGuinaPig21):

  • Normandy involved an assault of beaches, not heavily fortified ports. An earlier assault of French port of Dieppe had resulted in heavy Allied losses.
  • Normandy was within fighter range of southern England.
  • Normandy wasn’t located on a peninsula like Cotentin or Brittany, which presented the possibility of the beachhead being sealed off by German forces.
  • Normandy was closer to the Seine and Germany than possible locations on the Bay of Biscay, presenting better strategic opportunities to cut off German forces in western France and move more quickly to Germany.

Operation Quicksilver: In order to ensure success at Normandy, the Allies needed to find a way to keep German Panzer tanks out of the battle. To do this, the Allies placed Lieutenant George S. Patton in charge of an entirely fake force, called the First US Army Group (FUSAG). This force consisted of inflatable tanks in visible areas, massive (and fake) tent cities, and hundreds of thousands of fake radio conversations that posted the at closest point in England to France: Pas de Calais.

The Allies needed to ensure that Germany would think that’s where the massive attack would come from, which explains why they’d use Lt. Patton–a leader the Germans had the utmost respect for. What they didn’t know was that a particular “slapping incident” had put Patton in a somewhat humiliated position.

The trick worked like a charm and Operation Quicksilver’s success (which you can read in great detail) was a big reason why the allies achieved victory at Normandy.


German Preparedness For Normandy: The truth of the matter is that with as much preparation the Allies had done for Normandy, Operation Overlord would have been a much bloodier battle if the German forces had been ready for Normandy.

We’ve already told you about Operation Quicksilver’s success, but the remaining German forces at Normandy were ill-prepared for what was to come. From TIME Magazine:

Not only did Rommel spend D-Day speeding through the countryside, not only had the Luftwaffe withdrawn all the planes that were needed in Normandy, but the armored regiments that should have been thrown into the defense of Omaha Beach could not move without direct orders from Hitler, and Hitler’s aides refused to wake him before 9:30 a.m.


The Only Photos That Survived

The only photos that survived of the Normandy Invasion are eleven negatives. While photographer Robert Capa (wgi was with the second wave of American troops on Omaha Beach) took a total of 106 photos, all but eleven were destroyed in a lab accident back in London.

These negatives are now known as “The Magnificent Eleven.”

Roni Rose: Hottest Photos Of Golden State Warriors Fan On The Internet

Game 2 of the 2016 NBA Finals was one of the most boring championship games in recent memory, however, there was one saving grace: Roni Rose. Rose is a 27-year-old former stripper and dancer from Hayward, California, and is clearly a die-hard Warriors fan. Luckily for us, her fandom put her on our radar.

Roni Rose burst into the spotlight during Game 2 of the NBA Finals when cameras captured the model appearing to try and flirt with Steph Curry. Wearing by far the sexiest outfit in the arena, she was hard not to notice. Social media predictably blew up in search of her.

Despite what the cameras appeared to capture, Roni claims she was simply just taking a sip of her drink when the cameras focused on her. She posted on her Instagram, “Sooo I was just drinking my drink and this happened. I’m just giving the boys a little motivations I guess.” At least she’s repping it.

Details on her personal and professional career are few and far between, but you aren’t here for a biography, are you? You’re here for her hottest pictures. Well, here you go.

Learn Who Hacked Mark Zuckerberg, How He Was Hacked, And What It Means To You

Mark Zuckerberg, the man who you’d think would have the most secure passwords for his social media sites, was allegedly hacked over the weekend. Hacker Group OurMine Team posted on Twitter that they had gained access to Zuckerberg’s Twitter and Pinterest accounts.

OurMine Team posted this announcement to Twitter:

“Hey @finkd we got access to your Twitter & Instagram & Pinterest, we are just testing your security, please dm (direct message) us.”

Soon afterwards, they published this tweet, revealing Zuckerberg’s actual password and how they had gotten it.

“You were in Linkedin Database with the password ‘dadada’!”

If their last tweet is to be believed, that would mean that OurMine would have gotten the password from the recent LinkedIn Password Dump. Because Mark was using the same password for Twitter and Pinterest as he used for LinkedIn, they were able to get into his account.

OurMine’s Twitter account @OurMine_ has since been suspended.

Mirror’s Edge Catalyst Review: Must-See Details & Screenshots

Mirror's Edge Catalyst

Eight years after the dizzying parkour game Mirror’s Edge drew a passionate cult following, only to fade away as the years rolled by, the franchise is back with a follow-up that solves many of the issues that held back the first game while creating some new ones. Doing away with strangely confining linear level design for an open world romp that grants you freedom, as well as the tendency to get lost and frustrated, Mirror’s Edge Catalyst is a divisive adventure that will be a breath of fresh air to some and a strange, inaccessible curiosity to others.

Game: Mirror’s Edge Catalyst
Consoles: Xbox One (reviewed), PS4
Publisher: Electronic Arts
Developer: EA DICE
Release Date: June 7

The story serves as a wholesale reboot, scooping up familiar parts from the previous game, including the cityscape, protagonist and gameplay mechanics, and retelling Faith’s story from her beginnings as a wall-climbing street rat who is recruited for a higher cause. The tutorial levels help you readjust to the jarring perspective of first-person parkour, zipline riding, pole swinging and bar vaulting. Combat is an exhilarating sequence of inept guards standing around waiting for you to jump them from above, take them out with flying kicks and topple them over like dominoes. Unlike in the first game, you won’t wield a gun, instead using your wits and reflexes to dodge bullets and take out armed enemies. The lack of weaponry feels more liberating — taxing you to get creative and keep moving — rather than a hindrance.

Ever since the game was revealed to be set in an open world, purists groused that developer EA DICE was sacrificing what made the game special in order to appeal to a wider audience. Devs addressed those concerns with ample handholding that will help newcomers stick to a tight critical path if exploration isn’t their thing. You can toggle on a “runner’s vision” mode that highlights a possible path to wall-run, jump and slide through whatever obstacles stand between you and your next checkpoint. The game is more fun if you turn that off and make things up as you go along. If you get lost, you can always snap back into the assist mode to scoot you back on track.

Although there is no true multiplayer, there are plenty of ways to interact with other gamers. Leaderboards keep track of speed run times, and you can map out free-form time trial challenges to challenge the community. The game’s open urban jungle network of rooftops, girders and overhangs is a high-stakes jungle gym that is just as much fun to mess around in for its own sake rather than blaze through in order to finish a level. The single-player campaign allows you to upgrade your abilities and gear, branching out your traversal capabilities.

Mirror’s Edge Catalyst favors style over substance, running through an obligatory origin story that will make you roll your eyes often if you pay close attention. That doesn’t matter as much as it could, because this is an experience that is all about momentum. You can’t pause to enjoy the scenery, because you’re always scampering from one impossible nook to the next, harnessing your ability to run, flip and dive through your surroundings as an underpowered, lithe heroine. If you were intrigued by the refreshing ideas in the first game, you’ll be happy with the way this reboot explores those concepts more fully while getting rid of many of the technical hangups that stopped the original in its tracks.

Mirror’s Edge Catalyst Reviews Around The Web:

“The most important aspect of the game, parkour, is still an absolute blast to mess around with.” –Tech Times

“Gameplay was sleek, and when jumping, ducking, sliding and drop-kicking in sequence, everything simply flowed together.” –PlayStation Lifestyle

“I’m not going to sugarcoat it — the story is horrible.” –Destructoid

This Game Of Thrones Fan Video Paints Jaime Lannister As The Show’s Hero, Is Actually F*cking Awesome

0
0

Jaime Lannister has ascended from sister banging scumbag, to one of the more likeable characters on the show. Therefore, since it’s Game Of Thrones we’re talking about, it’s only a matter of time before he meets his brutal end.

Jaime was introduced to us as one of the biggest villains of the show. He’s the King Slayer, he’s a sister f*cker, and his assault of Bran Stark is what sets forth all of the events of the show. With perfect hair and killer looks, it was actually quite easy to hate on Jaime. But as the seasons went on, and his story evolved, Jaime has grown into one of the most redeemable characters on the show. With one of the sharper moral compasses on the show, Jaime is someone most fans root for these days.

One fan took it upon himself to create a video wherein Jaime was actually the hero the whole time. It’s actually a really interesting video for a couple of reasons. First, seeing the physical progression of the character is awesome. Also, the perspective shift actually makes a decently strong case that Jaime Lannister has been one of the true heroes the whole time.

Lion Charges Little Kid At Zoo

YouTube – Tu Bui Anh

What was that little dude thinking? Has he not seen dozens of well-thought-out and rational arguments on Facebook about what happened at the Cincinnati Zoo? You’ve got to keep your head on a swivel at all times when interacting with these majestic creatures.

That clearly wasn’t the lion’s first rodeo. The instant that kid turned around he made his break like he was shot out of a damn cannon. That’s the type of closing speed that NFL GMs dream about.

Personally, I don’t understand why the lion is so hungry for blood in the first place. If I was hanging dong like that, I wouldn’t have a care in the world. Talk about a hammer.

Not much info on this bear yet, other than his name is Takoda, and evidently he’s chill AF. I know chicks that seem more at home in the forrest than this chill AF bear. I’ve had Netflix & Chill dates that have been less chill than this bear. Basically, what I’m saying is that this bear is chil AF, and if I can’t have him as a pet — I want to be him.

Robbery Game On 100: Man Dressed As Armored Truck Driver Steals $75K From Walmart

0

According to Fox, investigators in Bristow, Oklahoma, were working Monday to identify a man who stole more than $75,000 from a local Wal-Mart after disguising himself as an armored truck driver.

Bristow Police Chief Wayne Williams said, “Authorities in northeast Oklahoma have received some anonymous tips about the identity of the man whose image by a video surveillance. We’ve got some calls out on it, but nothing yet.”

So how did this Houdini pull the heist off? Well, quite simple: he walked out the front door. Authorities say the suspect entered the Wal-Mart store in Bristow about 10:30 a.m. Saturday, walked to the cash office, signed for the deposit and walked out of the store, and then casually drove away in a dark four-door Chevrolet. Quick, easy, painless — like a bandaid. A $75,000 bandaid. “He came to the Wal-Mart kind of dressed like a Loomis armored car driver,” said Police Chief Williams said. However, the clearly ingenious Wal-Mart employees decided to call the police after the real Loomis employee arrived about 45 minutes later. HA. And these people want minimum wage to be $15. Give me a f*cking break.

Details are scarce, but so far, the authorities have “no evidence the suspect may have once worked for an armored transportation service and was familiar with its procedures.”

Hey, ya know, robbery is bad. But making literally the world’s cooperation look like an army of clowns? Priceless, and definitely worth it.

Here’s The Best Way To Get Yourself the Yeezy Boost 750’s

How To Buy Yeezy 750

The official release of the Adidas Yeezy Boost 750 in “Light Grey/Gum” is June 11th, but if you want to have the best chance to buy the newest version of the Yeezy Boost 750’s, you’re going to need to do some homework beforehand.

The exact number of 750’s for sale this time is still unknown, but you can bet that there will only be a very limited number of the shoes for sale. During the last release, there were reportedly only 9,000 shoes available in total. We’ve heard word that this release will be much bigger, but we just don’t know how much bigger.

And you know what? It doesn’t matter because the supply is going to be nowhere near as high as the demand. That’s why you need to give yourself the best chance to buying the Yeezy 750’s.

adidas Yeezy 750 Boost “Light Grey/Gum”
Release Date:
 06/11/16
Color: Light Grey/Gum
Style #: BB1840
Price: $350


Yeezy Boost 750 Design Info

The Season 2 Yeezy Boost 750’s will be available in Light Grey/Gum, our favorite colorway. This year’s 750’s will feature a glow-in-the-dark sole, a light grey nubuck upper and a light grey elastic midfoot strap.

Adidas released a pretty cool little video (above) called “It’s just made differently” that details how the sneakers are actually made. So now that we’ve gotten all those hypebeasts worked up, let’s show you the best ways to ensure you get pair.


How To Buy Yeezy Boost 750’s (Season 2)

adidas yeeezy boost 750 buy

This season, there are only two ways you can buy a pair of Yeezy Boost 750’s in Light Grey/Gum. You can either do it via the official Adidas Confirmed app, or via an in-store raffle. Let’s go over the raffle first.

Yeezy Boost 750 Store Raffle

Not every sneaker store in the world is going to be selling the Yeezy Boost 750’s, so it’s important that you take a look at this list of stores reportedly offering pairs of the sneakers. If you see a store on this list near you, we suggest that you call ahead to confirm.

While you call, you should also ask if they’re doing a raffle for the shoes. Stores doing these raffles will usually pick names at random out of a large box (or list). The winners will then be allowed to purchase the Yeezy 750’s. This is done to help ease the absolute insanity and large crowds that show up for the Yeezy releases.

It’s important to note that there’s not limit of stores whose raffles you can enter, the only problem is that you can’t be present at all the stores simultaneously at those raffles.

Adidas Confirmed

For most of us, the Adidas Confirmed app is going to be the best chance you have at getting a pair of adidas Yeezy Boost 750’s. It’s important to note that there are various “hotspots” you’ll need to be in to actually order the shoes. Since the reservations open on Wednesday, you’d be smart to get all of this done by Tuesday night on multiple different devices.

Download Adidas Confirmed via Google Play
Adidas Confirmed via iTunes

1. Registration

First and most importantly, you need to download the Adidas Confirmed app (above). Once you’ve downloaded Adidas Confirmed, open it up and enter your information to the best of your abilities. Upon login, you should see the Yeezy Boost 750’s. Click it and follow the instructions.

2. Wednesday

Now as we said, the reservations for the Yeezy Boost via Adidas Confirmed open Wednesday. The biggest problem is that no one knows when exactly. That’s why we suggest you allow for push notifications from Adidas Confirmed, and also set up push notifications to be sent to your computer (via Tweet Deck) from Adidas and Kanye West.

Once you know the reservations are open, click the app and mash that reserve button like crazy.

Is This Whale Trying To Commit Suicide? Yes? How Is Sea World Still Open?

This orca named Morgan was filmed lying motionless for more than ten minutes  at Loro Parque in Spain’s Canary Islands.  Onlookers were worried that the animal was trying to ‘commit suicide’.

The video, which was taken at Loro Parque in Spain’s Canary Islands, has attracted a massively negative reaction online with renewed calls for the killer whales to be released back into the wild.

Morgan – who is being held captive at Loro Parque with five other orcas owned by SeaWorld – can be seen lying next to her tank as tourists leave the stadium.

Most of us have seen the 2013 documentary Blackfish, right? It amazes me that SeaWorld is still breathing after the release of that movie. As stated in the film, if a killer whale is beached for too long, the weight of their own body can crush their internal organs and muscles. Maybe most disturbingly, footage of Morgan shot just weeks earlier appeared to show her repeatedly banging her head against a metal gate in an effort to escape.

Honestly, f*ck SeaWorld, man.

A First Look At The Converse All Star Modern Sneakers

Converse All Star Modern

Today we were invited to the launch of the Converse All Star Modern, although we didn’t really know it at the time. All we knew was that we had to be at the Skylight Modern at 3 PM to see a new sneaker that Converse had been very hush hush about.

But after being served refreshments, then learning the incredible history of the All Star from Converse’s official historian, we were taken downstairs with the other sneaker heads to see the new kicks.

You can see bits and pieces from our time on social media (specifically Snapchat and Facebook Live), but we decided that we’d also embed those videos below. That way you didn’t have to read all this if you didn’t want to.

In the video above, you can see the Converse All Star Modern reveal, plus my first thoughts on the new kicks. I’d like to reiterate how “modern” they manage to look while still resembling the original All Star. Also, they’re extremely light and comfortable to wear.

What: Converse All Star Modern Sneakers
Release Date: June 16th + June 9th
Price: ($140 hi top), ($130 low top), ($180 for the HTM’s)
Colors: Grey, red, blue, black green

After getting a good look at the hanging shoes, we were then told in greater detail what we were looking at. Apparently the super-exclusive creator team of Hiroshi Fujiwara, Tinker Hatfield and Mark Parker (HTM) worked on a special edition of the shoe. Those are leather, come in white or black, and will run you for $180. It’s the first time that HTM have ever gone outside of the Nike brand to work on a shoe.

Steph Curry Is Turning Into A Douchebag Right In Front Of Our Eyes

0
0

Raise your hand if you’ve heard one of these following quotes before:

“He’s so short!”

“But he wasn’t highly recruited!”

“He seems so relatable!”

“Look how cute his family is!”

These are the usual suspects of statements that have been used in an attempt to describe Steph Curry’s appeal. And for the most part, they’re true.

Steph isn’t that big — at 6’3, he is the third shortest MVP in NBA history, taller than only Bob Cousy and Allen Iverson.

He was not very highly recruited, if at all. He wanted to play at Virginia Tech, where his father Dell had a legendary career, however due to his stature, he was only offered a walk-on opportunity. In fact, Davidson was the only school to offer him a scholarship.

And then there’s his family, whom everyone and their mother seems to adore for simply being a regular family. You people realize that almost every baby on earth is as cute as Riley, right?

My colleuges and friends call me a hater, and I’m not denying that, because I can be quite spiteful. However,  my potential spitefulness has nothing to do with my point. My point is that never in my life have I seen such an outpouring of love for a singular player for essentially no good reason. Not basketball, not baseball, not football. Due to the talent to size ratio that Steph possess, he seems to be getting a free pass on essentially everything he does — good, bad, or otherwise. Just to prove how unique, and outrageous, this outpouring of love for Steph is, let’s examine a very similar athlete: Russell Wilson.

Wilson is also short, and was also under-recruited. Wilson is also a champion, and the leader of a consistently championship caliber team. He’s a devout Christian. He’s dating Ciara, who for the record, is literally 100 times better looking than Ayehsa Curry. Wilson regularly clowns his competitors, just like Curry. So why is Curry revered and Wilson reviled for the same actions? People go out of their way to write articles praising Steph Curry, and insulting Russell Wilson, even though they are essentially the same athlete. I mean, just look at some of these headlines written about Curry over the last year:

And now, the Wilson stories:

My question is: what the hell is the difference between the two? Seriously, their career paths, accomplishments, and demeanor, are all quite similar. In fact, I would argue Steph is more unlikeable than Wilson is. I have never seen Wilson showboat once in his career. Sure, he may be a little vanilla, and a lot of fake, but so are most successful athletes. That’s called business sense. Russell Wilson has made himself marketable to all demographics. People seem to hate Wilson because he wants to be liked, yet adore Steph because he acts like he could care less.

Let’s take a look at the Steph we saw this year — the Steph who showed his true colors. Deep down, Steph is a cocky little shit, and if you haven’t noticed, then you haven’t been paying attention. Sure, if you’re that good, you have the right to be, but should you be? Or rather, should you be cocky in the way that Steph is cocky? This f*cking guy has started to walk away before his teammates shots fall, which is an unprecedented level of douchery. While some may argue this is irrelevant, it’s actually proof that Steph’s arrogance is growing to an almost comical level. This f*cking guy sits on the bench pantomiming a video game controller, as if he is controlling the team. He is the first athlete since Michael Jordan to be allowed to show-off without consequence. Imagine if LeBron James were to pound his chest during the gameplay of a Conference Finals game. Or picture Kobe Bryant turning his back before his, or one of his teammates’, shots falls. Just imagine the disgust that would spew in their direction. It would be a never-ending stream of media hate. Yet, Steph’s unassuming size and baby face have bought him a free pass to be an asshole, and I’m already sick of it. Hopefully, the rest of the country is too. With news breaking that Curry will not be participating in the 2016 Summer Games, more fan’s may come to see his true colors. And yes, I know he’s saying he’s not participating to heal his knees or whatever — but does anyone really believe that? Representing your country is the highest honor an athlete can achieve, but in classic Curry fashion, he’s acting like he’s just too damn cool. This isn’t surprising, though, as Steph didn’t participate in 2012 either.

Look, I’m sure Steph Curry is a great guy. But my point is that his actions are those of a man the public would usually despise, however for some reason, he’s been given a free pass. Unfortunately for Steph, I think the public is starting to catch on to his act, and I am willing to bet by this time next year he is one of the most hated athletes in professional sports. Steph Curry has been given a free pass his entire career, and I personally cannot wait to see that pass turn to ashes in his hands.

  • Business Insider, I been living off Ramen and Easy Mac the last couple years. My own fridge is in need of an emergency fund, let alone someone elses.

#2: Pay off lingering debt.

  • Nope. You know what they say: gotta spend money to make money.

#3: Put it to work.

  • You see what happened to Chipotle last year? No stock is safe. F*ck that.

#4: Set it aside for big purchases.

  • Ah, maybe. You mean like a Batmobile or something, right?

#5: Tap into work benefits.

  • Yo, IDK WTF that even means, Business Insider. Chill with the big words or Imma take them as disrespect.

#6: Treat yourself.

  • Finally! I can get on board with this one. I’ll treat myself, alright.

#7. Donate to a charity

  • This one too. We all have a charity that we love. Mine is called “Eric’s Bank Account” if you all want to donate.

Bretagne, 16, the last surviving search dog from 9/11 was put to sleep today, and was given the full hero’s tribute that she deserved. She would have turned 17 in August.

Bretagne, a Golden Retriever, was only 2 years old when she and her trainer, Denise Corliss, were part of the Texas Task Force 1 sent to the World Trade Center site in Lower Manhattan after the terrorist attack brought down the buildings on September 11, 2001.

Bretagne spent 10 DAYS at Ground Zero, searching all of the wreckage for any signs of life. Bretagne would go on to serve this nation for another 7 years, retiring from active duty at age 9.

Here’s another BEAUTIFUL photo of her and her handler, Denise Corliss.

Legit tearing up right now. Dogs are the f*cking best, especially service dogs. RIP Bretagne, and thank you for all your service.

Ellen Sued For Making Fun Of Woman’s Incredibly Unfortunate Name

0

You’d think a woman named “Titi Pierce” would develop some thick skin about her unlucky name. Apparently not though. Titi Pierce, who pronounces her name “Tee Tee” is suing Ellen DeGeneres for defamation and invasion of privacy after Ellen pronounced her name “Tittie” on her daytime talk show. Get this, the Georgia woman claims in her lawsuit that never in her 35 years has anyone never pronounced her name that way. Oh sure, of course not.

The said incident took place on the February 22nd edition of The Ellen Show when, in a segment called “What’s Wrong With These Ads… and These Signs?” Ellen displayed a sign with the realtor’s name to howling laughter from the studio audience. Ms.  But let’s be honest, she should really be suing her parents for defamation for naming her that. And if she was so worried about her privacy then suing Ellen DeGeneres is a grave miscalculation. Before the lawsuit only Ellen’s viewership of a few million suburban housewives had ever heard the teasing and most of them had probably forgotten it by now. But now because of this lawsuit and the magical powers of the internet, exponentially more people will know you, Titi Pierce, as the boob mocked by Ellen.
