PSU Student Prints Out Roommate’s Subtweets Talking Ish, Starts Amazing Drama At School

PSU Roommate Tweets

Roommate drama is in the air this year. At first, we had the mentally unstable freshman at UCLA who sent the single most aggressive email I’ve ever read in my life, and now we have Penn State freshmen all up in the mix. Both times social media has been involved in airing out the drama. As people who write articles about college students doing crazy stuff, we’re huge fans of people tweeting about beef. It makes our life so much easier.

But at least in this one PSU instance, going to social media was actually a great call.

According to the Twitter account of @JessyJeanie, she found out that her roommate Nikki had been subtweeting (read: tweeting about and not tagging) a ton of sh*t. Nikki is literally subtweeting about her roommate (@JessyJeanie) being sick, how she hates her roommate, yada yada yada. Basic bitchy stuff, really. But still. Tweeting about it? That’s absurd.

So when @JessyJeanie found out all the garbage that her roommate hadn’t even bothered to hide very well, she printed out the Tweets and posted them to her freshman hall board. Surprisingly enough, that didn’t make things better!

And now, with no further commentary, we present the drama, brought to you by the Twitter account of @JessyJeanie.

 

Company Gives Its Employees $2,000 To Go On Vacation, CEO Says People Are More Productive Than Ever

We’ve all been there. Even though Americans earn paid time off and some are given unlimited vacation time, many of us still fear the consequences of taking some extended time off from work. Mark Douglas, CEO of the marketing and advertising company SteelHouse, agrees with this theory. In 2010, when SteelHouse was launched, Douglas said this about vacationing employees:

“If you have a caged lion that was born in captivity, and then you open the cage, they back up more into the cage. They don’t start running free,” he told Business Insider. “When we first started telling people they had unlimited vacation, they didn’t even know how to interpret that.”

Spot on, right? So, Douglas being the apparently dope boss he is, came up with a solution: literally PAY employees to take vacation days. And that’s exactly what SteelHouse does, they give their employees $2000 to take a vacation. Douglas says because of this, his employees have been more productive than ever.

Via Business Insider:

If you work at SteelHouse, the company will pay you $2,000 a year to go anywhere in the world and do anything you want (provided it’s not illegal). You can spread it out across multiple trips or blow it all at once; Douglas leaves it up to the team member.

The trust goes both ways, he adds. Employees who buy their plane tickets on a Monday will get reimbursed by Tuesday. If the employee can’t front the cash, SteelHouse will let them use the company credit card to book the flight. Once people return from their trips, they can submit their expenses for reimbursement up to the $2,000 cap.

The only qualifier is that Douglas will not give the employees the $2000 straight up. He is adamant that it be spent on vacation. “I actually want you to go somewhere and enjoy yourself,” he said.

Sounds like a hell of a CEO if you asked me. The more CEOs realize how important employees’ quality-of-life is to their business, the better off the world will be.

‘It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia’ Will Have Another Musical Episode In Upcoming Season

It hasn’t been announced yet when It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia‘s 12th season will air, but we now have another reason to be super pumped for The Gang’s return. In a recent interview, Charlie Day (Charlie Kelly) confirmed that there will a musical episode in the upcoming season.

I think we all remember how well this worked out the first time, as “The Nightman Cometh” is considered by many fans to be an all-time classic episode. It was the season four finale back in 2008, and I still have these songs stuck in my head.

Charlie Day didn’t get into any specifics about the subject matter of the musical, but it’s a stone cold lock that it’s going to be hilarious. He also mentioned that there would be an episode about the UFC and an episode where The Gang goes to a water park.

I already can’t wait to watch Mac take the beating of a lifetime inside the octagon and Dennis creep on teenage girls in a wave pool. I might have to look into paying a troll toll for early access to season 12.

NYC Newspaper Uses Remarkably Insensitive Headline Essentially Mocking Jose Fernandez’s Death

Newsday

Not a good look guys. Death is not the time to stretch your headline-making muscles. Just a mere 50 hours or so after Marlins pitcher Jose Fernandez was tragically killed in a boating accident, Newsday (based out of New York City) ran the headline “Smooth sailing with sharp Noah” for a story about the New York Mets’ 12-1 win over Miami.

I wish I could put myself in this writer’s frame-of-mind to try and understand what inside of him made him think that making fun of a 24-year-old’s tragic death for the sake of a headline was a good idea. I mean, sh*t, best case scenario is a couple of horrible people LOL when they read it. Worst case scenario? You go viral, piss everyone off, and probably get fired.

Doesn’t seem like a sound gamble to me.

The only question now is whether or not the writer got fired. We hope he did.

Nate Diaz’s Curse-Laden Reaction To UFC 205 Is Quintessential Nate Diaz

UFC is probably in the midst of their greatest ever year. McGregor has brought a new level of showmanship to the league, they just held their 200th PPV event, and now will be hosting their first ever event at Madison Square Garden. Oh, right, and they also just sold for $4 billion.

Part of the success of the UFC this year – crucial parts, actually – were the two epic fights between Conor McGregor and Nate Diaz. Their rematch at UFC 202 is already considered one of the greatest fights in the company’s history. Not only did these battles raise the profile of the UFC, but it also increased the fame of the outspoken Nate Diaz, which is great for everyone involved. There are few people in sports who produce a quote like Nate Diaz does, and that’s why his reaction to not being on the UFC 205 fight card is A+.

Via MMA Fighting:

When asked what he thought about the UFC 205 main event, Nate Diaz told MMA Fighting, “Fuck them both. You know both those little bitches are afraid to fight me. That’s why they are fighting each other.

“And tell Dana I said get off Conor’s nuts,” Diaz added. “I left my room to that fight at 176 (pounds), so when I fought I was probably 173. Quit telling people I was a monster to make him look good. I’ve been a lightweight my whole career.”

“Eddie said I was next after Gilbert, then I called him a bitch in the lobby and he turned the fight down repeatedly until I beat Conor,” Diaz said. “Then he called every day asking for the fight. Bitch. What kinda fighters are these guys?”

Gotta love Nate. Hopefully, UFC figures out a way to have him headline an event soon. And hopefully, that headlining event is a trilogy fight with Conor McGregor. Come on, Dana White, we all want to see it, so just give it to us, dammit!

Danny Willett’s Brother Writes Ruthless Article About Americans

The 2016 Ryder Cup will take place from September 30 to October 2 at the Hazeltine National Golf Club in Chaska, Minnesota. This will be the 41st edition of the Ryder Cup, and Danny Willett’s slapdick brother just added some extra fuel to the fire for the upcoming match.



Pete Willett wrote an article for National Club Golfer about his thoughts on the Ryder Cup. You can read his full piece here, but all you really need to see are his brutal comments in regards to American golfers and their fans.

Team USA have only won five of the last 16 Ryder Cups. Four of those five victories have come on home soil. For the Americans to stand a chance of winning, they need their baying mob of imbeciles to caress their egos every step of the way. Like one of those brainless bastards from your childhood, the one that pulled down your shorts during the school’s Christmas assembly (f**k you, Paul Jennings), they only have the courage to keg you if they’re backed up by a giggling group of reprobates. Team Europe needs to shut those groupies up.

They need to silence the pudgy, basement-dwelling, irritants, stuffed on cookie dough and pissy beer, pausing between mouthfuls of hotdog so they can scream ‘Baba booey’ until their jelly faces turn red.

They need to stun the angry, unwashed, Make America Great Again swarm, desperately gripping their concealed-carry compensators and belting out a mini-erection inducing ‘mashed potato,’ hoping to impress their cousin.

They need to smash the obnoxious dads, with their shiny teeth, Lego man hair, medicated ex-wives, and resentful children. Squeezed into their cargo shorts and boating shoes, they’ll bellow ‘get in the hole’ whilst high-fiving all the other members of the Dentists’ Big Game Hunt Society.

Team Europe need to silence these cretins quickly.

Whether it is the captain, the players, or the crowd, it is the influence they exert that will decide the outcome. During my 33 years as an avid sports watcher, I have never cared more about the result of a single event. I am desperate for a win. Such desperation can lead to puerile outbursts. A more immature mind than mine might resort to petty insults or unflattering generalisations. I’m realistic enough to admit that I will struggle to resist the occasional capitalised tweet (I’ll keep the syllable count low for the sake of the dim Yanks). But it will be far more effective if it is the European players that do all the talking.

Darren Clarke needs to pick his pairs carefully, they need to support each other intelligently, and the crowd needs to be dealt with swiftly.

If these things happen, Europe will win, and I’ll try to support gracefully by embracing the same sense of fair-mindedness that has permeated this unbiased article. If not, the Americans will claim their second victory this century… those fat, stupid, greedy, classless, bastards.

Goddamn Pete, tell us how you really feel. Homeboy brought out the heavy artillery in that rant. I mean, what kind of moron doesn’t enjoy cookie dough and hot dogs? Pete probably hates puppies, sunsets, and busty brunettes, too.

Full disclosure, I’m not really a big golf fan. The sport bores the absolute hell out of me nine out of 10 times, but this is going to be the exception. I’ve never wanted the U.S. to mop the floor so badly with these cocky European pricks.

I highly doubt Pete will have the testicular fortitude to actually show his face down at Hazeltine. He’ll be so terrified of catching a Mr. Larson-esque beatdown that he’ll hide behind his keyboard and let his brother deal with the fallout from the shitstorm he’s created.

You better stop writing checks your ass can’t cash, Petey. These colors don’t run!

American Horror Story: My Roanoke Nightmare continues its sixth season tonight with its third episode! The sixth season of the FX horror anthology television series American Horror Story was announced on November 10, 2015, and premiered on September 14, 2016, the first time the series has debuted outside of October in its history.  Up until the season premiere, little was known about the season’s theme. At one point, creator Ryan Murphy said the season will be “more rogue” and “dark,” in contrast to the previous season, Hotel. After the release of pictures taken from the set in Santa Clarita, it was widely speculated that the season will incorporate the infamous 1590s Roanoke Colony disappearance, which ended up being true. This was the first season not to release a subtitle before the premiere since the first season. Prior to the season premiere, it was widely reported by the media that the subtitle will be American Horror Story: The Mist. That proved to be wrong, however, as we now know it is entitled Roanoke. The premiere episode revealed the season to be depicted as a paranormal documentary entitled My Roanoke Nightmare which reenacts the experiences of a married couple who relocate to Roanoke Island, North Carolina. The finale is scheduled to air on November 16, 2016.

Returning cast members from previous seasons include Evan Peters, Sarah Paulson, Lily Rabe, Denis O’Hare, Kathy Bates, Angela Bassett, Wes Bentley, Cheyenne Jackson andAdina Porter. New additions to the cast are Cuba Gooding Jr. and André Holland. Roanoke has received generally favorable reviews, with critics noting its subdued aesthetic and pacing in comparison to earlier seasons of the series.

The Amount Of Money Kevin Hart Made Last Year Is Brain-Melting

Guess who the highest paid comedian of the last decade is. Ready? Seinfeld. F*ckin’ Jerry Seinfeld, who peaked about 20 years ago, has been consistently ranked as the highest paid comedian out there, presumably from Seinfeld residuals and other random investments. However, Seinfeld was finally dethroned this year by no other than Kevin Hart. Kevin Hart being the highest paid comedian in the game is not what’s surprising, what’s surprising is how much he actually made.

Between June 2015 and June 2016, Kevin Hart earned a genuinely astounding $87.5 million dollars. For comparison – The Rock, the highest paid actor, made $64 million during that time frame. That’s right – Kevin Hart outearned The Rock.

You gotta give it to Hart, though. His earnings are a direct result of his hard work. Via Forbes:

The reason for Hart’s dominance is simple: He tours like no other comedian. In the 12-month period, Hart played over 100 shows with an average gross of over $1 million at each stop. And these shows aren’t at dingy comedy clubs; Hart played stadiums and arenas, including Madison Square Garden and the Staples Center. Because the stand-up comedian’s set requires little more than a stool, water bottle and microphone, he takes home a larger cut of that gross than most rock stars would.

Gotta respect Hart for gettin’ his while he can.

Hoboken, NJ train crash

PATH Train tweeted this morning that the incident happened at the NJ Transit station and that the Lackawanna entrance connecting NJT Rail to PATH is currently closed. Injuries are unclear at this time, except NBC says the Hoboken police chief told NBC’s Brian Thompson that there are “mass casualties.” Pictures on social media show extensive structural damage to the train station. It is now being reported at least 3 are dead & 100+ injured, multiple in critical condition.

Via NBC:

The cause of the accident was not immediately clear, though the Hoboken police chief told NBC New York there were “mass casualties.” Fire officials said they were investigating the crash as a possible derailment.

Several people who were on the train tweeted they felt “lucky to be alive.”

Passenger Bhagyesh Shah said he boarded the train at Secaucus. He said he normally stands near the window, but stood in the back of the train Thursday.

“The next thing I know, we are plowing through the platform,” Shah said. “It was for a couple seconds, but it felt like an eternity.”

Scary stuff out of New Jersey. I live in Hoboken and have multiple friends who use this station.

‘South Park’ Put Billboards Up Outside The Church Of Scientology, Trump Tower & Other Famous Locations

South Park is in the midst of an epic 20th season, where any and all topics are under fire. The presidential election, online trolls, movie reboots, faux-nostalgia, Colin Kaepernick and the national anthem are just some of the topics that Trey Parker and Matt Stone of skewered this season.

According to The Hollywood Reporter, in an effort to promote the 20th season, which premiered three weeks ago September 14, mobile billboards have been placed in seven locations around the country depicting scenes that coincide with the trucks’ placements.

Of the seven locations where they posted the billboard, three of them did not go over so well: The White House, The Lincoln Memorial, & the Church of Scientology.  The billboard in front of the White House featured the South Park version of Barack and Michelle Obama.

The billboard outside of the Church of Scientology featured a scene from maybe one of their most famous episodes, 2005’s “Trapped in the Closet,” in which the church and its most famous follower, Tom Cruise, were skewered.

Walter Levitt, chief marketing officer for Comedy Central told The Hollywood Reporter:

“We knew it was risky. We knew some locations might not be pleased to have us out there, but we thought this was a perfect way to celebrate everything the series has covered in its 19 seasons.”

“In some cases, the locals were not pleased to have us outside their locations and asked us to leave, but that was all expected, and we completely understand why,” Levitt said, confirming “personnel” from the three aforementioned locations asked the trucks to leave the area.

“We did this stunt because we thought it was a great way to remind South Park fans of all the amazing moments of the past 19 seasons and truly a perfect way to celebrate the 20th season.”

Truly ingenious marketing by the folks over at South Park. Not that were surprised by their level of genius at this point.

The other billboard locations include:

Colorado: South Park and Casa Bonita

Salt Lake City: Mormon Church Headquarters

Washington, D.C.: Lincoln Memorial and the White House

Silicon Valley: Facebook Headquarters

New York: Trump Tower and Hillary Clinton’s N.Y. headquarters

Los Angeles: Church of Scientology, Whole Foods, Hooters, PF Changs, KFC

Tim Williams, a key player for the University of Alabama defensive line, was arrested at 2:00 A.M. on Thursday for a gun possession charge. Details are still coming in, but it looks as though he’s been bonded out of jail. He faces a misdemeanor gun possession charge for carrying a pistol without a permit.

AL.com is reporting that he was arrested in a Tuscaloosa Publix parking lot around 2:00 AM. Here’s how they describe the scene.

A police officer was doing a normal patrol when he smelled marijuana coming from Williams’ vehicle, according to sources. A passenger, who was not an Alabama football player, said the marijuana was his, but the officer then found the pistol under Williams’ seat while searching the car, according to sources.

Here’s some more on the story.

Alabama hosts the University of Kentucky Wildcats this weekend, so they’re not likely to miss the defensive end all that much.

There are now reports that he was in a car that was found to also contain a baggie of marijuana.

The brothers of UF’s Pi Kappa Phi threw an absolute rager for their annual Pharaoh party, inviting none other than Elephante to DJ. From the looks of things, the party was a total success. We’re a big fan of theme parties and it’s a welcome relief to see that people weren’t all up in arms for “cultural appropriation” of Ancient Egyptians. That would just be absurd. But also expected. So nice work, UF.

Scary Clown Sh*t Goes Too Far, Ends In Fatal Stabbing of 16-Year-Old

Christian Torres Stabbing

Christian Torres, a 16-year-old student in Reading, PA, was violently stabbed to death by a man wearing a clown costume last Sunday. According to witnesses, a man wearing a clown mask approached Torres, and their encounter turned violent. Christian Torres was killed on his own porch and two other witnesses were stabbed during the assault. They were treated at a local hospital and have been released. Since they are minors, their names haven’t been released yet.

Police haven’t yet named a suspect in the murder, but they have announced that they’re searching for a man named Avery Valentin-Bair (above) who was reportedly at the scene. Avery is 29 years old and has an outstanding warrant for a failure to appear in court on a weapons charge. Again, he’s not being named as a suspect at this time, but he is wanted for questioning.

Anyone who knows his whereabouts should contact the Reading police at 610-655-6116 or the sheriff’s office at 610-478-6390.

Honestly, we’re not sure what the hell started this whole “clown” thing, but it’s clear that this trend has morphed into something that a bunch of people are doing for sh*ts and giggles. But now it’s officially gone too far. The only hope is that A) Torres’ killer is caught and brought to justice and B) that this trend ends quickly.

There have been a ton of reports recently that clowns have been luring children into the woods with candy and money, and one person was even arrested this week for wearing a clown mask and disturbing the peace.

To get the last laugh in this confrontation, Tolbert opted to pay his entire bill in change. Via ESPN:

“It’s ridiculous that I even had to go through that,” Tolbert said on Wednesday. “Y’all know me. I talk trash. I like to talk trash. So if you want to take it there, we can.”

Tolbert added that he initially tried to pay the shop with a personal check, but the owner wouldn’t accept it.

“So what kind of respectable establishment won’t take a check?” Tolbert said. “They said they won’t take my check, it wasn’t going to clear the bank. I was like, ‘Whew! You’re throwing shots. So I’ve got one for you.’

“So I went to the bank and got $3,900 in coins. It was pennies, nickels, dimes, quarters… everything. I didn’t care one bit. I took a truck load of it and put it right there where he wanted it, and got my truck towed back to my buddy’s shop.”

Were Tolbert’s actions petty? Absolutely. But were they also hilarious? You’re goddamn right. It seems like both Tolbert and Motion Lab Tuning made mistakes in how they handled the situation. I don’t think there’s a totally innocent party here, but I’m still going to side with Tolbert. I just wish he tried to fit all $3,900 of that change in his pockets, so he’d look like Kramer trying to buy some calzones.

Titanfall 2 Campaign Trailer

A new trailer for Titanfall 2 dropped today, giving us a little bit more insight into the single player campaign of the upcoming game. Although the trailer itself seems to be mostly a mix of live-action and CGI (none of which are from the game engine), we do get a sense of at least one of the characters: Jack Cooper.

One of the biggest complaints in Titanfall was that the single player campaign was extremely short, although it still has a very serious following among multiplayer gamers today. Can we expect a bigger impact in the campaign for Titanfall 2? Only time will tell. What we can say is that Jack Cooper seems to be a grunt who’s hoping to be a Pilot. It’s a safe bet that he’ll get his wish.

Check out the brand new trailer below.

If you’re looking for more information on the game, we pulled some information from the game’s wiki page.

From the game’s Wiki. POSSIBLE SPOILER ALERT:

Jack Cooper is a pilot who is bound to a Titan against the wishes of command in Titanfall 2. The Titan, when responding to inquiries from command states that his former pilot was killed in action, and that he voluntarily bound himself to Jack Cooper.

This binding seems like it was against the wishes of command, who is questioning the Titan, but the Titan itself seems to have some sort of ability to self-determine, or at the very least, has a core intelligence program.

Jack was given the helm of BT after the death of Captain Lastimosa on the planet Typhon.
