Would You Pay $15K For A Piece Of This 1995 Pizza Hut-Donald Trump Commercial?

Would You Pay $15K For A Piece Of The 1995 Pizza Hut-Donald Trump Commercial?

Pizza Hut

Did you know The Donald officially endorsed Pizza Hut’s stuffed crust back in 1995? Apparently, Trump would prefer to eat his pizza “the wrong way.” But is there ever really a wrong way to eat pizza when the crust is stuffed with gooey cheese? I think not!

Before he became president, Trump helped hustle pizza. The advertisement opens with The Donald asking his former wife Ivana, “Do you really think this is the right thing we should be doing?” Stuffed crust is represented as taboo, scandalous and sexual. Both Trump and Ivana appear to enjoy eating their slice from the back end. “It’s wrong, isn’t it?,” asks Trump. “But it feels so right,” replies Ivana .

Here is the video that has been infamously named as “Pizza Slut” online. Donald and Ivana really like their slices hot and steamy.

This commercial really gave Pizza Hut yuge business back in the day. If this ad were shown now-a-days, I’m sure Middle America would be buying up Pizza Hut, while the US coastlines would be protesting and boycotting the chain. Back in ’95, the new stuffed crust pizza effectively saved Pizza Hut from a downward spiral. This new cheesy concoction helped this fast-food pizza brand raise more $300 million in sales. A rich and cheesy businessman helped them recover and make a yuge profit.

Now, you can own the storyboard of this infamous ad for just $15k. The storyboard is personally autographed by both The Donald and Ivana. However, 15k isn’t exactly chump change. Most people will probably laugh at the idea of paying $15k for this “Pizza Slut” script. But if you’re a wealthy collector of Trump memorabilia then you’ve just stumbled upon something yuge!

Australian Open Final Live Stream 2017

The tennis gods are smiling down on us, as we are blessed with a truly amazing Australian Open final. For the 35th time, Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal will face off in the next chapter of their captivating rivalry.

Nadal holds the edge in this matchup, going 23-11 against Federer. But when it comes to hard courts, Nadal only holds a 9-7 lead over Federer. Nadal and Federer have met three times in the Australian Open, with Nadal taking all three matches. Nadal is also 9-2 against Federer in all Grand Slam events.

Not many people expected Nadal and Federer to end up in this final, as the 35-year-old Federer was given the 17-seed and the 30-year-old Nadal was given the 9-seed. But in my humble opinion, that just makes this showdown all the more sweeter. Nadal will be going for his 15th Grand Slam singles title and his 2nd Australian Open title, while Federer is gunning for his 18th Grand Slam singles title and his 5th Australian Open title.

Now that you know a little bit about Federer and Nadal’s history, let’s break down all of the ways you can watch the Australian Open final.

WWE

The Royal Rumble is back! Once a year, 30-wrestlers clash in the ring, vying for that right to fight in the main event of WrestleMania. Legends will return to compete. “The Demon of Death Valley” The Undertaker will be returning to the squared circle to send shivers down the spines of all 29 of his opponents. Goldberg will also be in the building, and he will be looking to once again destroy “The Beast Incarnate” Brock Lesnar. And you can bet your ass that Lesnar wants a piece of Goldberg.

On this night, John Cena will be looking to make history and tie the record with “The Nature Boy” Ric Flair, with 16 world title reigns. Cena is currently in second-place, as a 15-time former world champion. He’ll be looking to knock off current champion AJ Styles and take back the gold at the Alamodome. But Styles is an awesome champion, and won’t be giving up his title easily. AJ is one of the best wrestlers in the world today, who is currently 3-0 against John Cena. Let’s see if Styles can improve that record to 4-0 on Sunday night.

Kevin Owens will also be defending his WWE Universal Championship in a high-profile match against Roman Reigns. Meanwhile, WWE United States Champion Chris Jericho will be suspended high above the ring in a shark tank for the entire match. Jericho is afraid of heights too! This looks like it’s going to be a fun match. Hopefully, KO comes out on top.

Charlotte Flair will be putting her WWE Raw Women’s Championship on the line against the up-and-coming Bayley. Flair will also be putting her record-breaking pay-per-view win streak on the line. Charlotte has been victorious at 18 consecutive pay per views. Can Bayley destroy Charlotte’s streak? Or will Raw’s resident “Queen” once again come out on top? The wavy, wacky Bayley is hoping to become your new WWE Raw Women’s Champion!

WWE Cruiserweight Champion Rich Swann will also be putting his gold on the line in what is sure to be a barn burner. The devastating aerial acrobat Neville is hot on Swann’s trail. Neville is looking to crush Swann and officially become the king of the cruiserweights. Look below and find out how you can watch this event on your computer, television, tablet or mobile device. You’re not going to want to miss a second of the Rumble!

WWE Royal Rumble 2017: Predictions, Analysis & Full Preview

WWE

Once a year, the WWE audience is treated to a high stakes 30-man Royal Rumble match. Thirty of the top athletes of the ring will battle it out for the right to fight for a world (or universal) championship match at WrestleMania 33. Who will make it out on top? It’s very hard to tell. I feel that this year’s event if a lot more unpredictable than last year’s event, when I was 100 percent sure that Triple H would win. There could easily be several believable winners of the Royal Rumble match. But who? Who? Who? Who? Who?

No one in The New Day is expected to win the Royal Rumble. But Kofi is long overdue for a world title reign. And The New Day are over as f*ck, so this is not so farfetched. Maybe one of the founders of Booty-Os cereal will win this big match.

We also have a few more high profile matches tonight. Kevin Owens will defend his WWE Universal Championship against Roman Reigns, while his best friend Chris Jericho is locked high above the ring in a shark tank. And Y2J is deathly afraid of heights! John Cena will be looking to capture his record-tying 16th world championship tonight, but he’ll have to conquer “The Phenomenal” AJ Styles. Bayley is gunning for Charlotte’s Raw Women’s Championship. And Neville is looking to destroy Nick Swann, claim the WWE Crusierweight Championship, and sit atop his throne as King of the Cruiserweights.

Look below and gaze into my crystal ball of Royal Rumble predictions.

Main Event: 30-Man Royal Rumble Match


Kevin Owens (c) vs. Roman Reigns for the WWE Universal Championship in a No Disqualification match

WWE

WWE

This one is sure to be very entertaining. There will be a lot of comedic moments with Y2J locked in the shark tank. I think Reigns will dominate much of the match. I think WWE hasn’t learned their lesson yet with “face” Roman Reigns as champ. Finn Balor is likely to come back and challenge for the championship at WrestleMania 33. And honestly, I see more money in Reigns vs. Balor then Owens vs. Balor. If Reigns turns heel, he’d make an amazing main event program at WrestleMania.

Roman Reigns defeats Kevin Owens to become the new WWE Universal Champion


Rich Swann vs. Neville for the WWE Cruiserweight Championship

WWE

WWE

Neville has seemed very dominant on Raw and WWE’s 205 Live. “The Man That Gravity Forgot” is tearing right through the division. He’ll be looking to knock off Swann and take home the big purple cruiserweight strap. This would make Rich Swann a transitional champion. But WWE really looks to be pushing Neville. And they can’t have someone stop his rise so soon.

Neville defeats Rich Swann to become the new WWE Cruiserweight Champion


Charlotte Flair (c) vs. Bayley for the WWE Raw Women’s Championship

WWE

WWE

Bayley will lock horns with Charlotte in the Alamodome. Ms. Flair will put her championship and her recording breaking pay per view streak on the line against the wacky, energetic Bayley. Bayley looks primed for victory in this one, but it’d be way too soon to put the strap on her now. They should save that moment for WrestleMania. That would make her winning the championship much more magic. Therefore, my money is on Charlotte for the Royal Rumble.

Charlotte Flair defeats Bayley and retains the WWE Raw Women’s Championship


AJ Styles (c) vs. John Cena for the WWE World Championship

WWE

WWE

This match will be an absolute wrestling clinic. Styles will once again prove himself as the new face of the WWE. If Cena is gonna take the strap off of Styles then tonight is not the night. John has been really running his mouth on SmackDown, and downplaying Styles’ role in the company. AJ will shut Cena up tonight. But only for tonight. We don’t yet know how things will play out come the Elimination Chamber event.

AJ Styles defeats John Cena to retain the WWE World Championship


30-Man Royal Rumble Match

WWE

WWE

I can see many surprise entrants in this match. I predict NXT superstars Shinsuke Nakamura, Tye Dillinger and Samoa Joe will make their presence felt in this match. Veterans like The Undertaker, Brock Lesnar and Goldberg will clash once again under the bright lights of the Alamodome. Orton has been projected to win via the current betting odds for this match. But I think WWE will once again go with an NXT standout, much like they did during SummerSlam with Finn Balor. I’ll pick the man who knocked off Finn in NXT.

Samoa Joe wins the Royal Rumble match

WWE

The Royal Rumble is finally here! Goldberg and Brock Lesnar will lock horns once again. “The Demon of Death Valley” The Undertaker will return to the Alamodome to send chills down the spines of all in attendance. Who will win the 30-man Royal Rumble match? Could it be a legend? Could it be “the legend killer” Randy Orton? Or can it be an NXT stand-out like Samoa Joe or Shinsuke Nakamura?

John Cena will be looking to tie Ric Flair’s record tonight. He will face AJ Styles for the WWE World Championship. This match could go eitherway, but if Cena pins or submits Styles, then he’ll be a 16-time world champion. WOOOOOOOO!

Kevin Owens will put his WWE Universal Championship on the line against PWI’s “Most Hated Superstar Of The Year” Roman Reigns. Lulz. Meanwhile, Y2J will be hanging around in a shark tank high above the ring. This one should be boat loads of fun. And don’t forget Neville vs. Rich Swann in their upcoming cruiserweight encounter. Plus, we got the lovable Bayley facing off against the “ice queen” Charlotte Flair. Can Bayley finally achieve her dream and capture the WWE Raw Women’s Championship? Find out tonight!

Stick around to find out the live results and updates as it happens at WWE Royal Rumble 2017.

30-Man Royal Rumble Match

Randy Orton wins the Royal Rumble match! He now qualifies for a world championship match at WrestleMania 33!


WWE World Championship match: AJ Styles (c) vs. John Cena

Wow. Just. Wow. John Cena has just tied the legendary “Nature Boy” Ric Flair, as a 16-time world champion.

John Cena defeats AJ Styles to become the new WWE World Champion


WWE Cruiserweight Championship match: Rich Swann (c) vs. Neville

Hats off to both men. They both looked phenomenal in this contest. Swann really shined and kicked the sh*t out of Neville many times throughout the match. However, the momentum of Neville was way to much for Rich. And now, Neville is officially the King of the Cruiserweights.

Neville defeats Rich Swann to become the new WWE Crusierweight Champion


No Disqualification match for the WWE Universal Championship: Kevin Owens (c) vs. Roman Reigns

Before the match could even start, Y2J and KO attacked Reigns. But Reigns would soon fire back, brutalize Jericho and lock him into the shark tank. Overall, this match was excellent when it comes to old-school hardcore brawls. Owens really dominated Reigns for most of this match. The crowd really popped when Owens hit the bullfrog splash to Reigns through a table. Owens was beating the crap out of Reigns with a steel chair. Owens started stacking chairs onto each others. It looks sick!

Owens is in control, and Reigns looks hurt. Despite his weakened condition, Reigns battles back. Jericho tosses KO brass knuckles from the shark tank. Owens nails Roman with the knuckles, but Super Reigns kicks out at 2. Kevin looks frustrated.

Reigns eventually gains control. He sends KO hurling through the stack of chairs he compiled earlier. Reigns then sends Owens through the announcers table, reminiscent of The Shield. Right when it looks like Roman is going to win the match and the title, Braun Strowman appears out of nowhere and demolishes Reigns. He drives Reigns into a table with a running powerslam. Owens capitalizes and goes for the pin.

Kevin Owens defeats Roman Reigns to retain the WWE Universal Championship


WWE Raw Women’s Championship match: Charlotte Flair (c) vs. Bayley

Charlotte was in complete control for much of the match. She tossed Bayley back-and-forth around the ring early-on in the contest. But Bayley battled back! She hits a springboard crossbody and an epic elbow drop. The crowd was really pulling for Bayley. However, “The Queen” Charlotte is way too powerful to put down for long. Charlotte’s Figure Eight is a thing of beauty. She nails Bayley with the Natural Selection on the apron. Lights out for Bayley. 1, 2, 3. The Queen reigns supreme!

Charlotte Flair defeats Bayley to retain the WWE Raw Women’s Championship


Shawn Michaels In-Ring Segment


Sasha Banks vs. Nia Jax

Nia Jax dominated throughout almost every moment of this moment. Banks tried to fight back, but Nia is a total beast. She destroyed Sasha.

Nia Jax defeats Sasha Banks


WWE Raw Tag Team Championship match: Cesaro & Sheamus (c) vs. Luke Gallows & Karl Anderson

This match a real slobber-knocker. If you like tag team brawls then this is the match for you. Sheamus was a bit sloppy, knocking out the ref and not having his head in the game. Gallows and Anderson killed the magic of Cesaro & Sheamus. Anderson rolled up Cesaro and grabbed the tights for the win.

Luke Gallows & Karl Anderson defeat Cesaro & Sheamus to win the WWE Raw Tag Team Championship


Alexa Bliss, Mickie James & Natalya vs. Becky Lynch, Naomi & Nikki Bella

This match was originally slated for the pay per view, but recently got bumped down to the kickoff show. Natalya showed off her heel charisma in this match, taunting Bella with Cena’s “You Can’t See Me” hand gesture. Nattie dominates Becky, but then gets speared by Nikki as a measure of retribution. But Naomi stood out most of all. She performed a moon a split-legged moonsault on the champion Alexa Bliss for the victory.

Stranger Things, in somewhat of an upset, won the SAG Awards for best ensemble in a drama series. Since the SAG Awards honor the actual actors and not the project itself, Stranger Things victory essentially the SAG equivalent of winning for Best Drama Series at the Golden Globes.

During the acceptance speech, although Millie Bobby Brown, unfortunately, did not speak or rap, David Harbour, who played Chief Jim Hooper, gave a rousing and impassioned speech, where he said we should ‘repel bullies, shelter outcasts & those who have no hope’.

Kylie Jenner Took A Vacation From Being Hot In America To Be Hotter In Costa Rica

0

Kylie Jenner continues to be on a roll unlike any I’ve ever seen. The biological blow-up doll that is Kylie Jenner took a vacation to Costa Rica this weekend with the entire Kardashian clan, and took to Instagram to make sure everyone knows about it — and that’s just fine with me.

Despite all this, I’m still so damn torn on Kylie. So torn. Like I know she’s quite literally 50% plastic, 50% air. And I know that in about a decade or so she’s going to be neither famous nor attractive. Butttttttt am I going to sit here and tell I’m not going to watch her eventual sex tape once, maybe even twice, a day? F*ck no! Of course, I going to watch that. The Kardashian Empire has been subconsciously teasing it to us for 3 years now — always showing us just enough of Kylie, but never the whole thing.

At 4:42 PM EST on Friday, January 27, President Trump signed an executive order that immediately barred immigrants and nonimmigrant visitors from seven Muslim-majority countries from entering the United States. Needless to say, the order has had an immediate impact on students all across the nation. According to Inside Higher Education, more than 17,000 students in the United States come from the seven countries affected by the immediate 90-day entry ban: Iran, Iraq, Libya, Somalia, Sudan, Syria and Yemen.

According to ABC, schools such as New York University, Portland State and the University of Pennsylvania have declared immigration agents need a court order to step foot on campus. On the other hand, universities such as Princeton and Syracuse have warned students to comply with federal immigration laws.

We did our best to scour the web to find out how individual universities have been responding to the “Protecting The Nation From Foreign Terrorist Entry Into The United States” act.


University Of Texas:

President Gregory L. Fenves released a statement:

I am proud to say we have 110 students, faculty members and scholars who are citizens of the seven affected countries — Iran, Iraq, Libya, Syria, Yemen, Somalia and Sudan. The talents that brought them to UT are deeply valued, and their perspectives represent an essential part of the university.

Many of the UT community members from the affected countries are currently in the United States and we strongly encourage them to refrain from international travel at this time. To those who are abroad, please exercise caution and know that we are doing everything we can regarding your return to UT. My leadership team is monitoring the impact of the order. As its meaning is clarified, we will continue communicating with those affected.


VCU:

VCU released a statement indicating that the leadership supports the federal program called Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals or DACA.

VCU also stated the university does not know the new administration’s plans regarding DACA but the university is monitoring the situation and will advocate for the young people who were brought to the country as children.


University of Michigan:

University of Michigan President Mark Schlissel released a statement Saturday morning affirming the University’s commitment to international students and faculty. Despite an executive order signed Friday by President Donald Trump that bans the immigration and travel of people from many Muslim-majority countries, Schlissel said the University will not release the immigration status information of its students.

“The university complies with federal requirements associated with managing its international programs,” Schlissel wrote in his statement. “Otherwise, the university does not share sensitive information like immigration status.”


Duke University:

Duke University president Richard Brodhead and provost Sally Kornbluth emailed staff and students on Sunday morning, calling the restrictions “confusing and disturbing” and advising against international travel for members of the community from the seven countries.

“We are in constant contact with immigration experts, other universities and national associations to understand the implications of the new policies, parts of which have already been successfully challenged in Federal court,” they wrote.


Princeton University:

“We have strongly advised students and scholars who might be affected and who have travel plans in the coming days to defer travel outside of the United States until there is some clarity and legal analysis of the situation or, if they must travel, to seek legal counsel before they do,” Princeton University’s dean wrote in an advisory to the university’s faculty Friday night.


Stanford University

Stanford University’s center for international students and the Rochester Institute of Technology have each issued advice against immediate travel out of the country by members of their college communities.

Stanford’s Bechtel International Center, which serves foreign students and scholars and their families, posted on Facebook on Friday its recommendation against travel by people from the seven countries covered in the executive order.

“We recommend that nationals of these countries do not travel,” the post said. “We share your concerns and we, along with several campus partners, are planning to host workshops next week. We will continue to update as this order, and possibly others, unfold.”


Rochester Institute of Technology:

Rochester Institute of Technology said in a statement to ABC News that it is reviewing the president’s order.

“We currently have undergraduate and graduate students from more than 100 countries enrolled in our university,” the college’s international student services director, Jeffrey W. Cox, said. “Among those students, 45 are from the countries listed in the executive order. We have informally advised those students to not make any travel plans to leave the United States, even to neighboring Canada, during the next 30 days.”


Rutgers University:


College of Charleston:

The College of Charleston could not confirm if it has students impacted by the ban. The school’s president, Glenn McConnell, wrote in a statement on Sunday that its international students, faculty and staff, and those who have immigrated to the United States, are valued on campus.

 “They are an integral part of the College of Charleston experience, providing diversity of thought, belief and expression and playing a critical role in the free exchange of ideas and cultures – a cornerstone of our educational experience,” McConnell wrote.

University of South Carolina

Tweet from university President Harris Pastides:


Wesleyan University

Statement from university president Michael S. Roth:

Wesleyan has welcomed and will continue to welcome students to apply for admission and, if accepted, to enroll regardless of their immigration status. Despite threatening language from the White House, we will continue to treat undocumented students, with or without Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA), who apply to Wesleyan identically to any other U.S. citizen or permanent resident in their high school. We are appalled by the religious test that is included in this new immigration order, and we reaffirm that there will be no discrimination on the basis of religion on our campus.

Our international programs, our financial aid policies and employment programs comply with all applicable Federal and State laws. However, we will object to and oppose administrative dictates that violate the law and the Constitution and, if necessary, we will work with others to do so in court.

Our Public Safety Officers do not inquire about the immigration status of the members of the Wesleyan community, and they will not do so in the future. Except where we are required to do so by law, we intend to protect our ability to refuse to partner or assist ICE or law enforcement on questions concerning purely immigration status matters. In particular, we are committed to the privacy of all student information, including immigration status.


University of Massachusettes:

Since the signing on Friday of the President’s Executive Order restricting entry to the U.S. by citizens of seven foreign countries, our International Students and Scholars offices, assisted by other staff from across our five campuses, have been working to connect with students, faculty and staff affected by this action and determine how to assist them. Several were out of the country at the time of the Executive Order, including two UMass Dartmouth faculty who were detained at Logan Airport on Saturday despite being lawful permanent residents of the U.S.

We are deeply disheartened by this alarming action that has violated the rights of members of the UMass community and many others. This is not the country we promised to them when we invited them to study, teach and conduct research here.


University of Notre Dame:

“The sweeping, indiscriminate and abrupt character of President Trump’s recent Executive Order halts the work of valued students and colleagues who have already passed a rigorous, post-9/11 review process, are vouched for by the university and have contributed so much to our campuses. If it stands, it will over time diminish the scope and strength of the educational and research efforts of American universities, which have been the source not only of intellectual discovery but of economic innovation for the United States and international understanding for our world; and, above all, it will demean our nation, whose true greatness has been its guiding ideals of fairness, welcome to immigrants, compassion for refugees, respect for religious faith and the courageous refusal to compromise its principles in the face of threats.

“We respectfully urge the president to rescind this order.”


Purdue University:

Around 100 of Purdue’s 40,000 students are from the countries named in this week’s executive order from the White House and hold non-immigrant visas. Another 10 faculty are citizens of those countries.

Currently, the university is not aware of any of its students, staff or faculty who have been left stranded outside the United States, however, the university remains concerned for them and their families as the result of this order.

The university cautions students, staff and faculty who appear to be affected by the executive order not to leave the United States until the Departments of State and Homeland Security issue new guidelines.


University of California:

We are deeply concerned by the recent executive order that restricts the ability of our students, faculty, staff, and other members of the UC community from certain countries from being able to enter or return to the United States.

While maintaining the security of the nation’s visa system is critical, this executive order is contrary to the values we hold dear as leaders of the University of California. The UC community, like universities across the country, has long been deeply enriched by students, faculty, and scholars from around the world, including the affected countries, coming to study, teach, and research.  It is critical that the United States continues to welcome the best students, scholars, scientists, and engineers of all backgrounds and nationalities.

We are committed to supporting all members of the UC community who are impacted by this executive action.


Indiana University:

“Please know that Indiana University does not share the sentiments expressed by [the] executive orders. We have long recognized the absolute necessity of a diverse and inclusive community to an excellent education. Each of you, regardless of your background or country of origin, are welcome in our community. You bring perspectives and experiences that, taken together, enrich the educational experience and prepare our students to thrive in the 21st century. Our student body expresses who we are as a community and reflects our foundational commitment to inclusion and diversity.”

John Cena celebrated his world record 16th championship in style at Royal Rumble.

After defeating AJ Styles to secure his 16th world title, tying Ric Flair for the most WWE world title reigns all-time, Cena hopped the guardrail towards the ringside crowd, giving the world title belt to a Make-A-Wish child. It’s no coincidence or publicity stunt either, as Johna Cena has granted more wishes for the Make-A-Wish company than any other celebrity.

Iris Mittenaere, a 23-year-old dental student from France, has won Miss Universe 2017. Mittenaere, born January 25, 1993, is a French model and beauty queen who was crowned Miss Universe in Manila, Philippines. Mittenaere is the second Miss Universe from France after Christiane Martel, who was elected Miss Universe 1953. She previously won Miss France 2016.

Mittenaere was born in Lille, to Yves Mittenaere, a professor of history and geography, and Laurence Druart, a school teacher and lecturer. Mittenaere has a brother, sister, and half-sister.

Mittenaere attended school in Steenvoorde. In 2011, she graduated lycée with a degree in science. After graduating, she moved back to Lille, where she attended Lille 2 University of Health and Law, studying dentistry.

Mittenaere was crowned by the outgoing winner from the Philippines, Pia Wurtzbach, at the packed Mall of Asia Arena by Manila Bay. In her profile, Mittenaere said she would ‘advocate for dental and oral hygiene’ if she took home the crown.


Winona Ryder’s Face Is The Early Favorite For Meme Of The Year

I’m surprised that anything shocks Winona Ryder at this point. This woman’s been in Hollywood for about, what, 25, maybe 30 years. You would think someone who dated Johnny Depp in the ’90s would have seen it all by now.

During Stranger Things actor David Harbour’s [aka Chief Hopper] acceptance speech at the 2017 SAG Awards, Winona Ryder basically expressed every recorded human emotion within a 90-second span.

What started out as shock and confusion slowly morphed into understanding, acceptance, and admiration.

We feel you, Winona. We really do.

Southern Illinois University Best Party Photos

We’ve been covering Southern Illinois University parties (including PolarBear) since as far back as I can remember, but never before have we ever come across a picture as glorious as the one you see above. It’s perfect, like the Mona Lisa of party photos. Where were this guy’s friends? How did the police not find this guy in the daylight? Is he even a student? So many questions, not enough answers.

For those of you who didn’t know, this past weekend was SIU’s PolarBear party, organized in part by our boys over @SIDrunks. This year was the first time ever that there was a Happy Hour as part of PolarBear Weekend. As you can tell, though, not everyone was composed enough to make it to the bars.

We’ve found the best photos and videos from the weekend for you below. Check out the absolute insanity that went down at SIU at Polar Bear 2K17.

Super Bowl 51 Predictions: Who Will Win The Super Bowl 2017

Super Bowl 51 Predictions

Well everyone, it’s just about here. We’ve finally reached Super Bowl week, which is arguably the most bittersweet week in all of sports. It’s great because if you’re a sports fan the Super Bowl is the biggest game of the entire year, but it also sucks because it’s the last football game of the season, and then we have to go into a seven-month football hibernation. Sorry for getting a little bit off-task there, but anyway, Super Bowl 51 has provided us with a very interesting matchup between two outstanding football teams, both of whom are very capable of winning this game. Let’s take a look at each team’s past year before I dive into my prediction for the game.


Atlanta Falcons

Atlanta Falcons Super Bowl

I’ll be the first one to admit that I did not expect the Atlanta Falcons to do what they did this year, which was become NFC Champions. I always thought that Matt Ryan was a good quarterback who maybe got too bad of a rap for not being able to put it all together and get the Falcons to that next level. Well, he went out and had an MVP season this year and proved me and all of the Falcon haters very wrong. The main reason that Atlanta has made it to Houston for the Super Bowl was their high-powered offense led by Ryan, Julio Jones, and Devonta Freeman. The Falcons led all teams in scoring this year at 33.8 points a game, and to get a win on Sunday they’re going to need to put up that many points, if not more. The Achilles heel for Atlanta has been their defense, which ranks near the bottom of the NFL. The lone bright spot on that side of the ball came from second-year edge rusher, Vic Beasley Jr., who put up 15.5 sacks this year. For the Falcons to win this game, they’re going to need their defense to put pressure on Tom Brady and make him uncomfortable in the pocket, and probably generate a turnover or two. It will be interesting to see how they respond in their first Super Bowl.


New England Patriots

Stop me if you’ve heard this before, but Tom Brady, Bill Belichick, and the New England Patriots are in the Super Bowl. Shocker, I know. Say what you will about the Pats, but seven Super Bowl appearances under the same quarterback and head coach is absolutely wild, and dammit I’d be remiss if I at least didn’t respect the hell out of them for that. I think it’s fair to say that New England was the best team in the NFL this year, going 14-2, even with Brady missing the first four games for a bullshit suspension, during which they still went 3-1. I don’t know how the hell Brady does it, but the dude has been getting better as he’s been getting older, which defies all logic. In 12 games, he threw for 28 touchdowns and two interceptions, while basically steamrolling everyone in his path. Although the Patriots’ offense didn’t put up the numbers that Atlanta’s offense did this year, I still give them the edge because I think that they have the better defense, a better coaching staff, and the much-needed Super Bowl experience, having played in the big game two years ago. One problem that could hurt the Pats is not having stud tight end Rob Gronkowski, who’s been out for most of the year dealing with injuries. If Gronk was playing, I would say that the Falcons don’t have any shot, but without Gronk, it could make things interesting.


Who Wins?

As good as the Falcons’ season may have been, I just don’t see any scenario in which the Patriots don’t walk away with their fifth Lombardi Trophy. That’s not to say that Atlanta doesn’t deserve to be playing in this game (they absolutely do), but when push comes to shove I’m always going to ride with Brady and Belichick. The Patriots have been on a mission this year to try and win the Super Bowl and have Roger Goodell hand them the trophy after they believed he wrongfully suspended Tom Brady. I believe that New England won’t be nervous going into the game, having played there two years ago, and that will be a huge factor on Sunday. I also believe that Belichick will completely neutralize Julio Jones, and just take him out of the game. So get ready America, because the Pats are winning the Super Bowl. 31-21, book it.

 

Parents & Kids Smoke Weed Together For The First Time, Only One Old Dude Pukes His Brains Out

God, I love these videos. I’ve seen veterans blaze up and I’ve seen grandmas get baked, but this one may be the best one yet. I’m of the incredibly reasonable opinion that if marijuana was legal and alcohol illegal, we’d be living in a much more pleasant society, and this video is just further proof of that.

I’ve always wanted to smoke some buds with someone from the Baby Boomer generation. Remember now, the Baby Boomers were alive when “Reefer Madness” came out, so the stigma surrounding the devil’s lettuce wasn’t quite the same as it is today.

In today’s world, a bunch of grown adults will hop on YouTube to smoke pot together and call it a “social experiment.” How far we’ve come.

CEO Who Gives His Employees $2,300 And An Extra Week Off Says It Creates A Competitive Advantage

0

Slowly but surely, companies all across the nation are beginning to realize that their employees’ work/life balance is directly tied to the success of the business. While European countries have been experimenting with weekly hours and perk packages for some time now, American corporations are starting to follow suit. After all, according to data from the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Solutions Network, the top five happiest nations in the world are Denmark, Norway, Switzerland, the Netherlands, and Sweden. Unsurprisingly, most of these nations have implemented four-day work weeks and their citizens are subsequently happier than any others.

While some companies have been experimenting with shorter work weeks, others have implemented policies that include increased vacation time. At Toca Boca, not only are they giving employees more time for vacation, they’re paying for it too.

Via Business Insider:

Employees are given $2,300 and seven days to go on an “inspiration trip” anywhere in the world. That week doesn’t count toward their vacation days.

Any one of the company’s approximately 70 workers can go on a trip (once they plan things out with their manager). Spouses can even tag along. If a worker’s travel expenses add up to less than $2,300, the surplus rolls over to their next inspiration trip.

Toca Boca CEO and co-founder Bjorn Jeffery says that the perk not only reflects Toca Boca’s values but it creates a competitive advantage, as well.

“It acknowledges the importance of feeling inspired when you’re doing creative work,” he says. ” It also acknowledges that different people need different things to feel inspired. Perks don’t have to be super expensive — they can just break the mold of what you expect. That alone can have a positive impact on work culture.”

He also notes that giving people the opportunity to get away from the office for a while is a great productivity booster.

“When people come back from a trip, generally speaking, they’re rested and they’re happy,” Jeffery says. “If they like their job, they’ve been looking forward to go back to work.”
