When Does ‘South Park’ Return? Season 21 Premiere Date

When Does South Park Return

Wednesday, December 7, 2016 was the Season 20 finale of South Park. With another excellent season under wraps, creators Matt Stone and Trey Parker have shown no signs of slowing down. Season 20 marked another season where South Park continued their episode-to-episode continuity, however, this time around the story arc was more linear in comparison to the past two seasons since the change.

When Does South Park Return/Start?

While no official premiere date has been announced just yet, many speculate that the premiere date may be in mid-September. Ever since South Park cut down the number of episodes in their seasons from 14 to 10, seasons have started to premiere in September. These past two seasons have each started sometime in mid-September so we can speculate that Season 21 may do the same.

In previous years South Park season premiere dates were the following:

South Park Season 17: September 25, 2013
South Park Season 18: September 24, 2014
South Park Season 19: September 16, 2015
South Park Season 20: September 14, 2016


Review Of South Park Season 20

This season of South Park was sure one to ‘member. With the election, internet trolling, and member berries as some of the driving forces behind this season, Matt Stone and Trey Parker weaved in many subplots into this season, integrating storylines like that of Heidi and Cartman and the Member Berries, which at times made it seem a bit jumbled, but still funny nonetheless. It was also great to see Gerald Broflovski’s character being cast into the spotlight as the internet troll skankhunt42, which produced some hilarious moments within this season. This season also showed that Matt Stone and Trey Parker are undoubtedly able to improvise on the fly, like in the episode “Oh Jeez,” which premiered after the 2016 election results. The creators assumed, like the rest of us, that Hillary Clinton was going to win and had to do a last-minute rewrite of the episode. Overall this season was still one of their best and we can see that Matt Stone and Trey Parker are really starting to hit their stride when it comes to creating the hilarity that ensues within South Park. We could all use some of those Member Berries as we wait for the next season.


South Park Season 21 Plot

When it comes to South Park nothing is certain except for the fact that they love to talk about the current events and trends that are going on. So, while we can’t expect what the plot will look like, we can assume that the episode-to-episode continuity will continue. As for what they will also mention, keep in mind that they will have a good chunk of material from whatever goes on during Trump’s presidency in the months leading up to the next premiere. Whatever goes on within our nation you can rest assure that South Park will find a way to satirize it and make us laugh all about it.

Today was the 75th anniversary of the attacks on Pearl Harbor that propelled this nation into World War II. At the  Pearl Harbor Invitational, a two-day basketball tournament  held at Bloch Arena, which is on the very base that Japanese forces attacked in 1941.

Just before the tip off of the Seton Hall and California game, Peter DuPre, a 97-year-old World War II veteran,  came to a play athe Star Spangled Banner on his harmonica.

This is what it’s all about right here. I got some of the most legitimate chills I’ve had in my life. It’s like quarter after 11 here in New York and I’m literally lying in bed right now, writing this on my phone because that’s how awesome I think it is and that’s how much I want people to see it.

Take a second, watch this, and appreciate what you have. It’s easy to forget that sometimes, so this video is a as good a reminder as you’ll find.

Thank you for your service, Peter DuPre.

Brandi Rhodes was known as “Eden” during her time in WWE as one of the company’s sexiest ring announcers ever (sorry, Howard Finkle). Even when WWE gets boring or corny, just taking one glimpse at Eden can change someone’s mood. That’s how stunning she is. Now, she finds herself in the rival wrestling promotion: TNA, which stands for “Total Nonstop Action.” She’s joined by her husband Cody Rhodes, who simply goes by “Cody” nowadays. On October 28 of 2016, she finally made her in-ring debut in TNA as a professional wrestler. She tag teamed with her husband and won the match, but in the end, everyone was victorious to see Brandi in action.

She is a goddess of mythical proportions. Her former name “Eden” was quite fitting, as her beauty is quite tempting and luring (like that apple tree in the ancient garden story I’m sure you’ve heard of). This hazel-eyed stunner is now showcased every week alongside her husband on TNA’s iMPACT! Wrestling. Haven’t heard of that brand of professional wrestling? You might just want to check it out to see Brandi (the show is on POP TV at 8 p.m. EST this Thursday, if you’re at all curious). But you don’t have to watch this wrestling program to see this hot knockout in all of her glory. Just look below to see her 22 hottest photos.

This Video Of A 14-Year-Old Pulling A Knife On His Classmates Is As Intense As It Gets

Logan Clark, a 14-year-old from Nevada, pulled a knife on his classmates before being shot by police. A parent of one student said Clark “was bullied for days before he snapped and attacked his friends.” Clark, pictured in the video, lunged at his classmates with a large knife. After refusing to put down his weapon, he was shot by police and is currently recovering in the hospital.

Via Reno-Gazette Journal:

A student brandishing a knife at Hug High School was shot by a Washoe County School District police officer Wednesday morning, sending the campus into lockdown for the rest of the day as police went room to room accounting for all students and finding witnesses.

Justin Clark, who identified his son Logan Clark, 14, as the student shot Wednesday by a police officer during school, said the family is being represented by Reno attorney David Houston.

As for the officer who shot Clark, Reno police spokesman Tim Broadway said the officer is on paid administrative leave, which is routine procedure. The police have yet to release the officer’s identity.

Reno Police Chief Jason Soto said the incident began at 11:25 A.M. due to an altercation between two students. One of those students, Clark, drew a knife and tried to attack others. At that point, a school police officer told the student to drop the knife. When the student refused to comply, the officer shot him and then provided medical attention.

The school was locked down immediately following the shooting, forcing students and staff to remain in their classrooms as police blocked all access to the campus in north Reno. Police also shut down Sutro Avenue and told all parents to wait at the school gate behind the Sonic restaurant on McCarran Boulevard until students were allowed to leave.

At about noon, the district sent an email to parents across the district. The message didn’t mention a police shooting or student injury, just that Hug was locked down following “an incident on campus.”

Baywatch Trailer

The first official Baywatch trailer starring The Rock and Zac Effron just dropped. It’s not the greatest trailer we’ve ever seen, but it’s not the worst either (kind of close though). Honestly we weren’t expecting this movie to be a comedy (I don’t know what we were expecting, actually) but there’s definitely a possibility that Zac and the Rock could work well together.

As far as other surprises, it was nice to Charlotte McKinney for .5 seconds and Alexandra Daddario talk about her chest, but I gotta be honest when I say that the actress I’m most excited to see in Baywatch is Priyanka Chopra (of Quantico). Quantico is a low-key fun show and she’s definitely worthy of some Hollywood treatment.

Back to the trailer: someone commented on YouTube that this looks like the producers and directors are trying to make this the 23 Jump Street of lifeguards. I’d say that’s pretty much spot on, but I think I actually laughed out loud a couple times during 23 Jump Street. I’m not so sure that’s going to happen with Baywatch.

A Free ‘Battlefield 1’ Update Is Coming & We’ve Got The Details

Battlefield 1

(Battlefield/Instagram)

It’s happening. EA DICE is cranking out a new expansion for Battlefield 1 this month. Players who were thrilled with St. Quentin Scar can look forward to the upcoming map: Giant’s Shadow, which is based on the Battle of Selle of 1918. The battle involves British Forces pushing past the Hindenburg Line and into the open land of Northern France, while the Germans fought extensively to keep territory they were eventually forced to retreat. The Battle of Selle took place during a period known as “The Last Hundred Days of World War I.”

In addition to a notable moment in history, the expansion is also rumored to contain the cinematic spectator mode that grants players a variance of perspectives for social media or strategic purposes. Other anticipated expansion details include bug fixes and the presence of the heavily armored “behemoth” vehicles. Another hopeful and more historically accurate rumor is about the presence of operational boats. Let’s hope everything makes the cut when this free pack is released.

Here’s a video helping to describe the new changes:

John Glenn, First American To Orbit Earth & Legitimate American Hero, Has Died

Former Ohio Senator John Glenn has been admitted to The Ohio State University’s Wexner Medical Center. Glenn, the first American to orbit the earth in 1962, also served four terms as a U.S. Senator. In 1998, at 77-years-old, Glenn returned to space, becoming the oldest person ever travel to space.

The 95-year-old former Marinewas hospitalized more than a week ago, a spokesman for the John Glenn College of Public Affairs said in a statement to NBC. Glenn suffered a stroke two years ago after having heart valve replacement surgery, but it was not clear what caused him to be taken to the James Cancer Hospital at Ohio State. It is also not clear exactly what the cause of death is at this time, but at 95 year old, it’s likely of natural causes.

Via NBC:

A source close to the Glenn family confirms that Glenn, 95, has been hospitalized since late last week and that he is gravely ill. His family has been with him since that time.

Hank Wilson with Ohio State University’s John Glenn College of Public Affairs said Wednesday that Glenn is at the James Cancer Hospital, but that doesn’t necessarily mean he has cancer.

Wilson said he didn’t have other information about Glenn’s condition, illness or prognosis.

Glenn apologized for his poor eyesight this year at the renaming of Columbus’ airport after him. He said then he’d lost some of his eyesight because of macular degeneration and a small stroke.

Chris Applebaum is back with another extraordinary series of Instagram videos of a gorgeous model eating food in absurdly sexy fashion. Below are some of my personal favorites in the greatest recurring segment in the history of the internet.

Now that you’re familiar with Applebaum’s mesmerizing work, it’s time to take a look at his newest offering. In the following three videos, Bryana Holly puts on a whipped cream eating performance for the ages.

Giving Bryana whipped cream was almost unfair, as everybody knows that delicious dessert topping is one of most sensual foods on the planet. It was a competitive advantage akin to tossing Babe Ruth a handful of steroids. I’d almost rather have seen Bryana try to work her magic with something mundane like a bowl of tomato soup.

I’m definitely not complaining, though. Whipped cream hasn’t gotten me so aroused since I saw that famous scene with Ali Larter in Varsity Blues. Pretty sure I instantly hit puberty on that fateful day.

Second Texas A&M Sigma Epsilon Fraternity Brother In One Semester Found Dead

Matthew Hayes Texas A&M

Matthew Hayes, a 20-year-old student at Texas A&M and a Sigma Epsilon fraternity brother, was found dead in his off-campus bedroom on Tuesday night.

Matthew is the second Texas A&M SigEp brother to die this semester. Earlier this fall, Anton Gridnev died of a drug overdose. Our thoughts and prayers go out first and foremost to the Hayes family, as well as the Texas A&M SigEp brothers who are no doubt in shock at the events of this awful semester.

Who Was Matthew Hayes?

Matthew Hayes was a 20-year-old sophomore at Texas A&M majoring in engineering. He was living in the 3900 block of Graham Road, the same address where he was found dead.

Hayes was also a 2015 graduate of Legacy Christian Academy in Beaumont. He was his class valedictorian.


What Happened?

The cause of Matthew Hayes’ death hasn’t been released yet, but the investigation is still ongoing. All that’s known to investigators at this point is that Hayes was last seen by his housemates, when they all came back to their off-campus apartment together. When they didn’t see him all day on Tuesday, his housemates figured he was sleeping. It was not until later that evening, when they still hadn’t seen Hayes, that they decided to open his door and check on him. That’s when they discovered Hayes, who was unresponsive. They called 911 and tried administering CPR.

On our arrival, they’d already ceased those efforts, and it was obvious he was deceased,” said Brazos County Sheriff Chris Kirk. “Our investigation continues, but initially we’ve learned that he was out at a party the night before [and] had come home with a group of people he lives with their at the fraternity house. They thought he was sleeping in [and] didn’t bother him. It wasn’t until later in the afternoon that they finally checked on him and found him in the condition he was in,” said Sheriff Kirk [source].

There is no upside to any of these senseless deaths, only that this horrid semester is almost over.

If you’re a fan of the show then these responses are genuinely brilliant. “It doesn’t look like anything to me” is so god damn meta, I can’t even begin to explain it

And if you’re not a fan of the show, then you probably just suck anyway and will be the first to be killed in the eventual robot revolution.

Ronda Rousey UFC 207 video

At UFC 193 on November 15, 2015, Ronda Rousey lost the UFC Women’s Bantamweight Championship after getting knocked out by Holly Holm. It was Rousey’s first ever defeat, and the internet had a field day with the shocking upset.

Following the loss, a lot of people were saying that Rousey was overrated to begin with. And there was plenty of chatter that she might never step into the octagon again, as she could make roughly a bajillion dollars with movies and sexy photo shoots.

But after roughly 13 months of inactivity, Rousey (12-1, 3 KOs, 9 submissions) will make her much-anticipated return to mixed martial arts. To get you pumped up for Rousey’s comeback fight against Amanda Nunes (13-4, 9 KOs, 3 submissions) for the UFC Women’s Bantamweight Championship, check out this electric promo video for UFC 207.


Hell yes! Nothing like a good, old fashioned redemption story to get the blood flowing. After watching that video, I now have zero doubt in my mind that Rousey is going to snap one of Nunes’ arms like a goddamn wishbone. I’m getting the same vibes from this promo that I got when Randy Quaid prepared to whoop some alien ass.

Ronda’s back, bitches.

On December 6, 2016, the International Olympic Committee executive board granted provisional recognition for both the International Cheer Union and the International Federation of Muaythai Amateur. What this means is that for the next three years both of these sports will be receiving about $25,000 in annual funding from the International Olympic Committee. They can apply to development programs within the IOC and after three years they can apply to become fully recognized Olympic sports.

The International Cheer Union has more than 100 national federations and almost five million registered athletes. The International Federation of Muaythai Amateur consists of more than 135 national federations with nearly 400,000 registered athletes.

in the championship game of the Pacific Life Pac-12 basketball tournament at Staples Center on March 10, 2012 in Los Angeles, California.

While we won’t be seeing these sports at the Tokyo Olympics in 2020, they could potentially be included in the future. If these two were recognized as Olympic sports, it would bring the total number of sports to 37. So while they still are not fully recognized, this is a huge win for these two sports and hopefully we will be able to see them in the Olympics someday.

Myrtle Beach Police Bust Prostitution Ring, Also Capture World’s First Zombie

Myrtle Beach Zombie Prostitute

A Myrtle Beach prostitution ring was busted this week, but if you’ve ever visited Myrtle Beach, you’ll know that this isn’t really breaking news. The place is… interesting. What will interest you about the story, however, is one mugshot from the arrests. The mugshot in question is not of a pimp, and it’s not of a john. Nope, it’s of one of the prostitutes and it would seem that the Myrtle Beach Police Department has stumbled upon the first-ever zombie hooker.

Tiffany Evans Mugshot

So I’ve never hired a prostitute or paid for anything like that, but I’m not opposed to the profession. It’s the oldest job in the world. That being said, I’m very glad that Myrtle Beach police busted up this particular ring because I’m not sure how I feel about the existence of zombies as a whole, let alone people having sex with them.

Speaking of which, how are people paying this zombie? In brains? In flesh? Like, on one pimp hand I love my zombie hoe’s work ethic because they never tire in their search of flesh, but I need her to make some money eventually. On the other pimp hand, I’m very scared of my zombie hoe because she’s a zombie.

Joe Biden Says “Never Say Never” About A Presidential Run

Joe Biden President 2020

Last night on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, Joe Biden continued to tease us with the possibility that he might be considering a run for the oval office in 2020. Biden told Colbert, “I don’t plan on running again, but to say you know what’s going to happen in four years is just not rational.” He then added, “I can’t see the circumstance in which I’d run, but what I’ve learned a long, long time ago, Stephen, is to never say never.” You can watch the interview below.

This came a few days after Biden jokingly told a CNN reporter, “I’m going to run in 2020.”

So will Joe Biden be running for president in 2020? Well, he sure loves getting us pumped up by the idea of it, but the reality is that you shouldn’t get your hopes up just yet. My best bet is that Biden will not end up running. He’s going to be 77 years old by the time 2020 rolls around. He’s already made two runs for the presidency and the idea of making a third run just seems highly unlikely. I mean look at this guy after he’s out of the White House… All he’s going to want to do is chill with Obama.

Then again, Donald Trump did just become the oldest president ever elected at the ripe old age of 70, and we did see 75-year-old Bernie Sanders give a good go at the election, so perhaps age is just a number to politicians. Maybe Biden will be the same and get ready to go when 2020 rolls through. We can only hope because, if there is one thing that is for certain, it’s that you can’t hate on good ole’ Joe.

The first trailer for Baywatch dropped today, and unsurprisingly, it is hotter than the sand on the beach when it’s 100 degrees out. We can argue back and forth all day if this movie will actually be any good, but it’s absolutely undeniable that it has one of the most attractive casts of all-time.

Baywatch’s lineup of Alexandra Daddario, Kelly Rohrbach, Charlotte McKinney, Ilfenesh Hadera, and Priyanka Chopra is the best starting five since the 1996 Chicago Bulls. And they even have something for the female viewers too, with The Rock and Zac Efron in starring roles. These two may not have majestic manes of chest hair like David Hasselhoff, but they are clearly no slouches. This cast is a goddamn embarrassment of riches.

Because here at COED we go the extra mile to give our loyal readers what they want, we compiled the hottest GIFs from the first Baywatch trailer. Check out the gallery below for the cream of the crop, and start counting down the days till May 26, 2017.

NFL Week 14 Picks

I’m probably not getting the credit I deserve for my NFL picks over these past few weeks. To say I’m on fire would just be flat out disrespectful, I haven’t picked games this good in my whole entire life. If you don’t believe me, check out my flawless record from last week. That’s right, I gave you five winners last week because it’s the holiday season and I’m a charitable guy. If you were smart enough to take my picks last week and earn some extra cash to buy your friends and family Christmas presents, this week’s winnings should be used for treating yourself. Love the games we have on tap for Week 14, couldn’t feel any better about these picks. Your winners for this week are:


Steelers -2 @ Bills

I don’t know if I’m in the minority on this, but I’m not buying into the Bills. Sure, they’ve been playing some okay football up to this point in the season, but I think it all comes crashing down this week. The Steelers might be back after reeling off two straight wins, and I think that they are going to absolutely torch the Bills’ defense. It’s a big game for both teams as they’re both still fighting for playoff spots, but when push comes to shove I’m going to take Big Ben Roethlisberger over Tyrod Taylor every day of the week and twice on Sundays.


Browns +5.5 vs Bengals

You read that correctly, I’m going with Believeland. I’m well aware that they’re 0-12 on the season, but hear me out on this pick before you call me an idiot (which wouldn’t be inaccurate). Although the Browns have been as good as their record shows, the Bengals don’t deserve to be 5.5 points better than anyone this year. They’ll be without two of their best offensive weapons in A.J. Green and Giovanni Bernard so scoring could be a bit of an issue for them. I don’t know if the Browns will win, but they should at least keep it close. Let’s freaking do this Cleveland, this is your Super Bowl.


Packers +3 vs Seahawks

I don’t feel great about this pick, but I’ve been so hot lately that it’s bound to be a winner. The Seahawks are clearly the better team and are even considered to be Super Bowl contenders, but not having Earl Thomas could really end up hurting them (thanks, Captain Obvious) when trying to shut down Aaron Rodgers and Green Bay’s passing game. I also have a hard time betting against the Packers at Lambeau in December. Call me old-fashioned, but there’s something about the calendar flipping to December that always makes me say, “Bet every last dollar you have on the Packers if they have a home game in December. I don’t give a shit who they’re playing, they’re going to win, you dummy.” I don’t know, maybe that’s just me. Anyways, Go Pack Go.


Chargers @ Panthers OVER 48.5

Both of these defenses suck and both of these offenses are really good, not much else to say about this pick other than that. Also, even though both teams are pretty much out of the playoff picture, Cam Newton is such a narcissistic asshole that he probably really doesn’t care about this game, as long as he can pad his stats and do a couple of douchey touchdown dances, he’ll be just fine, and that’s exactly what I expect him to do.


Jets @ 49ers UNDER 43.5 – Lock of the Week (Possibly of my Lifetime)

Getty Images

Getty Images

Never in my 25 years of existence have I ever felt better about a pick than I do about this one. If I could describe both of these teams in one word, it would be LOL. They are both so laughably bad that I really can’t see the score of this game being anything other than like 10-7, and even that’s pretty generous of me to give each team a touchdown. I have no idea who’s starting at quarterback for the Jets, all I know is that he’s going to suck, much like his counterpart on the 49ers, Colin Kaepernick. I don’t advise doing this, but if you wanted to bet every last dollar you had on the under of this game, I can’t say that I would hate the move.

These past few weeks of winners have been a somewhat out-of-body experience for me, really just surreal. With another week of winners coming at you on Sunday, it really seems like I may get every gambler in debt back to even by the end of the year, how noble of me. Five games, five winners. Let’s boogie.

Record on the season(started in Week 6): 23-10-2

Locks of the Week: 4-3

Miss COED 2017 Semifinalist, Ashley Williams Describes What Life Is Like As A Military Brat

Ashley Williams

When you grow up with a father in the military, life is anything but conventional. Yet despite moving 12 times in her 19 years of life, Miss COED 2017 semifinalist, Ashley Williams is nothing but grateful. She has an awesome boyfriend (sorry, guys), a supportive family, plays piano, and even speaks Japanese. Say what?!

The sophomore at Creighton University in Nebraska is studying English and Secondary Education. Her dream is to become a high school English teacher, then a professor at a university, then the president of a university, and eventually the Secretary of Education for the Department of Education. Damn. The girl’s got goals.

Read on below to find out more about Ashley’s fascinating life, and be sure to check back daily as we get to know each of our semifinalists a bit better.

Special thank you to Ashley’s father for serving our country and others who are currently serving or have served our nation.


If you could travel anywhere in the world for Spring Break, where would you go?

I would love to travel to Queenstown, New Zealand to ride the world’s longest zip line, hike mountains, go windsurfing, explore caves, bungee jump, and so much more! They don’t call it the “Adventure Capital of the World” for nothing!

Who do you look up to most and why?

I look up to my mom and dad the most. I look up to my mom because she’s the strongest and most selfless person I know; she’s shown me through her perseverance that I can do anything I set my mind to and that it’s okay to pursue the uncertain if you’re passionate about it. I look up to my dad because he genuinely cares about people whether he’s known them since childhood or met them that day; he’s shown me how one single encounter can change a person’s life and that it doesn’t matter what the world thinks of you as long as when you look in the mirror you’re proud of the person you’ve become. Please read the Man in the Glass poem; it’s eye-opening and life changing.

Give your BFF a shoutout! What’s his/her name and how long have you been besties?

It might seem cliche, but my boyfriend, Tanner is my best friend. We met as seniors in high school (I was a transfer student), and we clicked instantly! We met on September 11, 2014 and started dating on March 27, 2015; it’s been 810 days since we met and we’ve been dating for 611 days and we’ve been best friends since day one together. I’ll get sappy for a second and say: Tanner, we’ve stuck together through thick and thin, but there’s no one I’d rather go through all that with than you. I love you!

Do you have any secret talents?

I don’t know if you’d call them secret talents, but I play piano and I can speak Japanese. I don’t play piano for people specifically, mainly as a stress reliever and to have fun with my dad when I’m home. I grew up listening to him play piano. As for speaking Japanese, I’ve lived in Japan for six years so naturally I picked it up and fell in love with the culture; the reason why it’s kind of a secret is because now that I’m back in the U.S., not too many people I know speak Japanese, so I don’t get to display that I can speak it. However, I still talk with all my friends back in Japan!

What’s your most memorable moment at school?

My most memorable moment here at Creighton has been watching our #22 ranked Bluejays defeat the #9 ranked Wisconsin Badgers! Craziest basketball game I’ve ever seen in person, and I honestly don’t have the words to give it the proper recognition. All I can say is, ‘Go Jays!’

While chatting with Ashley, she made a good point that it wasn’t just her father who is serving in the Air Force, but the entire family. Each member has to sacrifice while another member is deployed, and it’s important to not only acknowledge her father for his bravery, but to acknowledge hers, her sister’s, and her mother’s as well. As a result, she is an advocate for the Wounded Warrior Program, specifically, the Air Force Wounded Warrior Program, which helps both service men and women and their families with whatever it is they may need.

What exactly is the Air Force Wounded Warrior Program, and how did you first get involved?

This is directly from their website: “The Air Force Wounded Warrior Program (AFW2) is a Congressionally-mandated, federally-funded program that provides personalized care, services, and advocacy to seriously or very seriously wounded, ill or injured Total Force recovering service members and their caregivers and families. AFW2 focuses on specific personal and family needs and includes programs that cover a gamut of situations throughout the recovery process and beyond.”

As an Air Force Brat, does this organization hold a special place in your heart?

I’ve been an Air Force brat my whole life, and I’m eternally grateful for all the opportunities I’ve been given thanks to traveling all over the world. There is no limit to the amount of recognition and appreciation the members of the Armed Forces deserve, and from the bottom of my heart, all of them are my heroes. Without them, I’d never be able to travel the world, meet people from all backgrounds, connect with other cultures, go to college, become a teacher, and most importantly, I wouldn’t be able to sit down to have a peaceful meal with my family. They give so much of themselves that I truly believe there is nothing we can do to fully repay them for their selflessness and sacrifices; AFW2 is a good start for repaying them for their service.

What’s your favorite part about the organization?

My favorite part about AFW2 is that the program not only takes care of the military member, but their family too. Growing up in a military family, I realized that it isn’t just my father serving, it’s our whole family. Every time I come home for a break, my dad reminds me how proud he is of me and how he wouldn’t be where he is right now without me, my sister, and my mother. Whether it’s a military family or a “normal” family, the one word that matters is “family,” and the fact AFW2 takes the time to care for the family as a whole, is what makes me most proud to support the organization.

73-Year-Old Mick Jagger Becomes Father For Eighth Time

Mick Jagger is the frontman of the legendary rock band the Rolling Stones, and it’s becoming more and more apparent that this dude is not a mere mortal. An average man would have been in the grave a long time ago after consuming all of the drugs and booze that Jagger did, but here he is at the ripe old age of 73, with sperm that still swims like Michael Phelps.

It was announced today that Jagger and his 29-year-old girlfriend Melanie Hamrick welcomed their first child to the world in New York. Hamrick is a ballerina, so I can only imagine what kind of kinky position she was in when their son was conceived.

Here’s The Guardian with more:

“They are both delighted,” a statement said. “Mick was at the hospital for the arrival. Mother and baby are doing well and we request that the media respect their privacy at this time.”

Jagger, who is now a great-grandfather, has children with five different women. His oldest is 45-year-old Karis Hunt, whose mother is the singer Marsha Hunt. Jade Jagger, 44, is his daughter with Bianca Jagger, to whom he was married for eight years, and he has four children with Jerry Hall – Elizabeth, 32, James, 30, Georgia, 24, and Gabriel, 19. He also has a son Lucas, 17, with Brazilian model Luciana Gimenez.

What a goddamn legend. While most 73-year-olds are busy eating Werther’s Originals and watching The Price is Right, Jagger is still releasing music and knocking up broads. Let’s tip our cap to this potent cocksman by listening to a few of his classic tunes.

Love Star Wars, but wish there was one starring those world-famous superheroes, Batman and Superman? Well, Zack Synder has you covered in this cool video mash-up of these three super franchises. The guy behind this year’s DC cinematic blockbuster mash-up (Batman v Superman) is now fusing superheroes with Star Wars. In this trailer, Batman v Superman is no more. It is now the “Dark Side Knight v. Superjedi,” and it’s pretty freakin’ awesome. It’s also pretty damn funny for some reason.

This is what Batman v Superman director Zack Synder said about the mash-up, “Dark Side Knight v Superjedi. In anticipation of Rogue One, I wanted to share a little Star Wars fan film I made after JJ released his Hunka Junk mash-up… long overdue.”

You should just check out the trailer of the mash-up:
