You Won’t Go To Hell For Laughing At These Jesus Memes On Good Friday, Don’t Worry

Today is Good Friday, now go think about how much of a dirty little sinner you are!

Just kidding.

Ever wonder what the deal behind Good Friday is? Well, it’s a Christian holiday commemorating the crucifixion of Jesus Christ and his death at Calvary (not one of humanity’s finest moments, regardless of your faith). It is also observed on the Friday preceding Easter Sunday and often coincides with the Jewish holiday of Passover (as the only Jew in my fraternity, I insisted we celebrate “Eastover” every year).

Good Friday is also known as Holy Friday, Great Friday, Black Friday or Easter Friday. Basically, it’s got as many names as Daenerys Targaryen.

The day is widely considered a legal holiday in many national governments around the world, including most Western countries. Here in America, 12 states recognize Good Friday as a holiday. They are: Connecticut, Delaware, Florida, Hawaii, Indiana, Kentucky (half day), Louisiana, New Jersey, North Carolina, North Dakota, Tennessee and Texas. In these states, government offices and courts are closed, as well as some banks and postal offices.

For all you finance Bros out there, the stock markets are also closed on Good Friday…(wait for it), BUT the foreign exchange and bond trading markets open for a partial business day in case you’re trying to get your Wolf of Wall Street on. Public schools and universities are also often closed on Good Friday, but that sometimes coincides with spring break.

So, now you know about Good Friday. Please enjoy this new knowledge and the above gallery of memes. Have a good one, folks.

Good Friday is an annual holiday that is celebrated on the Friday before Easter Sunday. The day is meant to commemorate the crucifixion of Jesus Christ and his death at Calvary. Good Friday is also known as Holy Friday, Great Friday, Black Friday or Easter Friday.

The day is widely considered a legal holiday in many national governments around the world, including most Western countries. Here in America, 12 states recognize Good Friday as a holiday. They are: Connecticut, Delaware, Florida, Hawaii, Indiana, Kentucky (half day), Louisiana, New Jersey, North Carolina, North Dakota, Tennessee and Texas. In these states, government offices and courts are closed, as well as some banks and postal offices. Most retail stores remain open, though some may close early. The stock markets will be closed.


Are Banks Open On Good Friday?

As Good Friday is not a federal holiday, many banks will still be open. However, some municipal services and businesses in the 11 states that recognize Good Friday as a holiday may be closed. Two banks that are confirmed to be closing on Good Friday are: BMO Harris Bank and Citibank (select branch locations).

With the Federal Reserve Bank remaining open, the majority of banks will conduct regular business hours to serve their customers. If you live in a state listed above or bank with a Christian financial institution, you should verify hours with your local branches, as those banks or credit unions might choose to close on Good Friday.

18-Year-Old High School Girl Makes NCAA History

Though The Sandlot is an all-time classic sports movie, we might have to rethink the immortal words, “You play ball like a girl.”

Arizona’s Becca Longo, 18, made college football history when she signed a letter of intent to play at Division II Adams State in Colorado. Longo isn’t the first woman to play college football, but she is the first to receive a scholarship to play for an NCAA program at D-II or higher. She was an ace kicker for high school team. In other words, playing ball like a girl is now a definitive compliment.

Longo committed to Adams State earlier this spring and then was celebrated in a signing ceremony of all scholarship athletes at her high school on Wednesday.

“It was like recruiting any other athlete,” Adams State coach Timm Rosenbach told the Arizona Public. “In Division II, we can see their workouts. To me, there is no doubt she can be competitive. She has a strong leg, and she can be very accurate.”

According to the Republic, Longo nailed 30-of-33 point-after tries (PATs) and hit a 30-yard field goal during her senior season.

Rosenbach, who played ball at Washington State and started all 16 games for the then-Phoenix Cardinals in 1990, didn’t seem to think that Longo’s gender was important. He noted that his wife is a former pro athlete and Longo is “a football player who earned it.”

We here at COED aren’t overly tuned in to the D-II sports world, but you can bet Longo will have an office full of fans this upcoming season.

Jay Pharoah Rips ‘SNL’ In First Comments Since Controversial Firing

Jay Pharoah is finally opening up for the first time after unexpectedly being fired from Saturday Night Live last year and he isn’t holding anything back.

What Happened?

Pharoah, 29, was let go along with Taran Killiam last August before SNL‘s 42nd season. Pharoah was arguably best known for his Barack Obama impersonation during his six years with the show and his release came as a surprise to fans.

Speaking with New York’s HOT 97 on Wednesday, Pharoah discussed his feelings about his SNL tenure and how he felt limited as just an impressionist.

“You go where you’re appreciated,” he said at first.

“And if you have multiple people on the cast saying things like you’re so talented and you’re so able and they don’t use you and it’s unfair and it’s making us feel bad because they don’t use you and you’re a talent…”

He continued, saying the show puts performers “into boxes,” and he believed his only opportunities on the show were impressions of black celebrities, including former GOP presidential candidate Ben Carson and actor Will Smith.

“They put people into boxes. Whatever they want you to do, they expect you to do. And I’m fiery too…I’m not a ‘yes n—-.’ That’s not me,” he said.

Pharoah, whose popular impressions included rappers Jay Z and Drake, believes that the show “gave up” on him and his Obama character.

“If you really noticed, for the last year and a half, they didn’t do any Obama sketches,” he said.


Jay Pharoah

Jared Antonio Farrow, better known by his stage name Jay Pharoah, is an American actor, stand-up comedian, impressionist, rapper, and voice actor. He joined the cast of NBC’s Saturday Night Live in 2010, for its 36th season and was let go after six years before the show’s 42nd season.

At least four students were injured after an experimental rocket exploded at the University of Idaho, school officials said early Friday.

What Happened?

The explosion took place in a parking lot on campus next to a steam plant, the University of Idaho said. Emergency personnel arrived at the scene and took the injured students to Gritman Medical Center, the university confirmed on Twitter.

The University of Idaho also confirmed that the parents of the victims had been notified, saying that all victims were “alert” and “communicating” with school personnel. Their identities and injures are not known at this time.

The explosion was the result of the Northwest Organization of Rocket Engineers club testing rocket fuel it had created, according to member Grant Thurman. The University of Idaho has said the incident was not a bomb threat. The FBI did arrive on the scene, which Moscow police said is standard operating procedure.


University of Idaho

The University of Idaho is the U.S. state of Idaho’s oldest public university, located in the city of Moscow in Latah County in the northern portion of the state. It is the state’s land-grant and primary research university. It has a total enrollment of 11,780.

Lisa Rogers, who leads the Blanco Middle School’s guidance and career department, was detained on Tuesday. Rogers, who is a mother, is accused of having an “inappropriate relationship” with a student at the school. Parents were informed with a letter on Wednesday.

‘It is with heavy heart that I am writing to notify you that, yesterday evening, Blanco school officials were notified that Blanco Middle School counselor Lisa Rogers has been arrested and is accused of having an inappropriate relationship with a student.

‘There is an ongoing criminal investigation, but we want to assure you that the safety and well-being of all of our students remain our highest priority.

‘We are providing counseling services to students on our high school and middle school campuses, and will do everything we can to support them during this time.

‘Due to the sensitive nature of the allegations and the need to be vigilant in protecting student privacy, there is no further information the District can share regarding this matter.

‘I thank you for your continuing support of our students and our school community.

‘If you have any questions about this, please contact me directly.

‘Thank you very much.’

The first weekend of the 2017 edition of Coachella is set to run from Friday, April 14 through Sunday, April 16. I don’t know if Jesus would approve of the debauchery that is sure to take place over Easter weekend, but I do know that anyone lucky enough to attend will have a fantastic time with such a stacked lineup.

Radiohead, Lady Gaga, and Kendrick Lamar are the headliners, and I’m extremely jealous of anyone who will get to see Kendrick on Easter Sunday. DAMN. is already amazing enough on its own, but there has been speculation that it’s just one disc of a double album. Given that Kendrick is deeply religious, some people are thinking that Kendrick will follow up his Good Friday album release with an Easter Sunday album release.

Now that we’re done reading the Kendrick tea leaves, let’s breakdown how you can watch Coachella from the comfort of your couch. If you weren’t able to afford the insane costs of heading to Indio, this is the next best thing. Coachella will be live streaming all of this weekend’s acts across three regular channels and one 360 degree channel.

Courtesy of Consequence of Sound, here is the full artist schedule along with the channel their performance will be broadcast on. All of the times below are Pacific Time Zone, and the music will start at 3:35 P.M. P.T. So throw on your finest retro basketball jersey, grab yourself a beer, and enjoy the tunes.

Star Wars Last Jedi Trailer

Lucasfilm

Lucasfilm has just unveiled the very first trailer for Star Wars: The Last Jedi and I seriously think I could die and become one with the Force right now. Check out the trailer below.

Wow, okay, a lot to digest right now. It’s alright, just breathe.

*Proceeds to hyperventilate.

Star Wars fans old and new have been looking forward to seeing and hearing from Luke Skywalker for over twenty years. In the new trailer we’re also introduced to some new characters like Rose (played by Kelly Marie Tran), who’s not a soldier, not looking to be a hero, but she gets pulled into this big adventure with Finn. Rose is a maintenance worker in the Resistance.

Before the trailer launched, we were treated to scenes of Rey on Ach-to, where we last saw her with Luke Skywalker. Below you can see a screenshot of her with the Millennium Falcon.

Rey Millenium Falcon

The Last Jedi is the highly-anticipated sequel to Star Wars: The Force Awakens, which grossed $2.2 billion worldwide to become the third-biggest money making movie of all time. As the first Star Wars movie in 10 years (and the first good one since 1983), The Force Awakens helped reinvigorate the franchise by playing to older fans and attracting an entirely new generation of wannabe Jedis. The Last Jedi will look to build on that success while continuing to maintain interest in the Star Wars one-offs (Rogue One, Young Han Solo movie, etc.).

Based on this first trailer, The Last Jedi should have no problems attracting audiences and building on the foundation that The Force Awakens established.

The first trailer for Star Wars: The Last Jedi has dropped and Oh. My. God. is it wonderful. We know you’re probably busy watching the footage on an endless loop for the next 12 hours straight, but in case you want to slow it down a bit, we’ve grabbed all of the best screenshots from the trailer. Now you can examine the teaser shot by shot because what else are you going to do on a Friday night, ya know?

So what do we have here in this trailer? Quite a bit. Here’s a quick breakdown of what we see in the trailer.

  • Rey’s hand slamming to the ground. She looks troubled. Is this part of her training?
  • Wide frame shot of the island, Ach-to, her and Luke are on.
  • Dope overhead shot of the island. I definitely want to vacation here.
  • Rey standing on a ledge overlooking a cove.
  • Rey’s hand on the ground again with pebbles rising a la Superman’s coffin in Dawn of Justice. She’s upping her Force game.
  • Leia (I think) looking at a space map.
  • What appears to be a destroyed Kylo Ren mask. A symbol for his character, perhaps?
  • Best guess: an ancient text/artifact in the first Jedi Temple.
  • Long shot of Luke training Rey. Badass. Love it.
  • Rebel ships advancing on a bunch of AT-ATs in the distance.
  • Finn, looking super comatose :(
  • Poe Dameron and BB-8 running through a base under attack.
  • X-Wings blowing up.
  • The Millennium Falcon doing work in an air battle, obviously.
  • Rey running with her lightsaber.
  • Kylo Ren standing with his lightsaber looking menacing.
  • What I believe to be Luke and R2-D2 staring at a burning building, perhaps a flashback to his Jedi Order 2.0 being destroyed by Kylo and the Knights of Ren.
  • Captain Phasma leading stormtroopers through fiery debris, so maybe that previous shot wasn’t a flashback.
  • Space battle. Dope.
  • Luke saying “The Jedi need to end.”
  • WAIT, WHAT?!?!

Troy University Delta Chi Gets In Fight With 50 High Schoolers Over Basketball Court

Troy University’s Instagram

A group of young punks resorted to violence after they were unable to get in a late night hoop sesh at the Delta Chi house at Troy University. According to Detective James Taylor, the squad of approximately 50 teenagers arrived to the frat house between 1:30 a.m. and 2:00 a.m. on April 2, eager to ball out of their goddamn minds.

When Delta Chi told them to leave their back patio, these dudes were not having it. The high schoolers started throwing hands in a brawl that sounded to be absolutely chaotic. Here’s The Tropolitan with the details on the fight.

Several brothers suffered minor facial and bodily injuries. Some sported bruises on their faces, and others had their shirts ripped or covered in blood. One stumbled around while trying to cover what appeared to be a nosebleed.

A few brothers, Taylor said, also had to be taken to Troy Regional Medical Center for some cuts, but no one had to stay overnight for severe injuries.

Jesus, these kids must really love their basketball. If some frat bros told me to beat it when I was in high school, I would have hightailed it out of there with no questions asked. But times have changed and kids are barbaric these days, willingly to launch haymakers in an instant. They probably even raided Delta Chi’s fridge of Natty Light and made them lick white dogshit afterwards. Chris Gardocki would be proud.

Jordan Peele Net Worth 2017: How Much Is Peele Worth Now?

Jordan Peele has a great mind for both comedy and horror. He can make you laugh and cringe all at the same time, no matter what genre he’s pursuing. His most recent film Get Out received tremendous reviews by fans and film critics alike. After hearing all the noise generated by those critics, I decided to watch the film myself, and believe me, you really need to see this movie.

Peele is a multi-talented magician of cinematic magic. He was also damn funny on MADtv and Key & Peele back in the day. Let’s see how much dough this guy holds.

Jordan Peele’s Net Worth as of 2017: $12 Million

Jordan’s net worth rolls in at a sweet $12 million. I can only imagine how much money he’ll have once all the checks from Get Out are deposited (if they aren’t already). Peele certainly has a bright future ahead of him. But let’s take a look at the years that helped transform this man into a story of success.


2002 – 2006

Peele started his career doing improvisational comedy in Amsterdam and Chicago. In 2003, he was picked up as a cast member for the ninth season of MADtv. He met his future partner-in-comedy Keegan-Michael Key on the set of the show.

Key & Peele showed great comedic chemistry right off the bat. But Peele really shined through on MADtv because of his talent for impersonating celebrities. He parodied the likes of James Brown, Ja Rule, Morgan Freeman, Montel Williams, and even Big Bird. Yes, not even Sesame Street was safe from Jordan’s shtick.


2006 – 2008

Did you know Key & Peele made a cameo in Weird Al Yankovic’s music video White & Nerdy? I must have missed that too back in the day.

Peele was nominated for an Emmy, back in 2008, for his song “Sad Fitty Cent.” It was a parody music video, shown on MADtv, which pokes fun at 50 Cent’s beef with Kanye West (as I recall the beef stemmed from who can get the most album sales, and West won). But let’s get back to Peele now.

Jordan was involved in a viral video entitled “Hillary vs. Obama” on MADtv. He even auditioned for Saturday Night Live with the intention to play the role of President Obama on their show. Unfortunately for Peele, that part went to Fred Armisen of Portlandia fame.


2008 – 2015

Peele left MADtv at the end of the 13th season. After five seasons of comedic contributions, Jordan gazed onward to future projects in the funny field.

Jordan secured a reoccurring role on the Adult Swim show Children’s Hospital. He also appeared in the 2012 film Wanderlust. That same year, he co-starred in a new sketch comedy series entitled Key & Peele. He was joined by former MADtv cast member Keegan-Michael Key.

Key & Peele lasted on Comedy Central from 2012 to 2015. The show was a personal favorite of former President Barrack Obama (no kidding).

Peele rejoined Key to create the 2016 film Keanu. Jordan co-starred and co-produced the film with his longtime friend Keegan-Michael Key.

But let’s get to the movie that has the film community buzzing. Of course, I’m talking about Get Out. This modern day classic has received a near perfect score of Rotten Tomatoes (99 percent). The film cost $4.5 million to make, but garnered $177.6 million at the box office. That’s a whole lot of profit!

I promised myself that I wouldn’t spoil the film to my readers, so I won’t. Just watch it like I did a few hours ago. But first, let me wrap up this article.

Jordan Peele’s vision is bright in the valley of show business. His bank account is already loaded with millions, and we can only imagine the future fortunes that may come his way.

Kyla Ross is an artistic gymnast for the UCLA Bruins. The 20-year-old is a freshman at UCLA, but before she decided to enroll in college, Ross was on the Fierce Five gymnastics team that won gold for the USA at the 2012 Olympics. Ross, Gabby Douglas, McKayla Maroney, Aly Raisman, and Jordyn Wieber won the USA’s second ever gold medal in the team competition.

The Honolulu, Hawaii native was a member of the U.S. national team from 2009-2016, and she racked up plenty of hardware on the international circuit. Besides her Olympic gold medal, Ross won a total of five medals at the 2013 and 2014 World Championships. In 2013, Ross returned home with silver medals in the all-around, balance beam, and uneven bars events. And in 2014, Ross took bronze in all-around and gold in team disciplines.

Currently, Ross is attempting to add to her trophy case at the NCAA Women’s Gymnastics Championships. Let’s do our part in wishing her good luck by taking a look at her hottest photos in the gallery above.

Chloë Grace Moretz is a very stunning star. She’s known for her work in film, which goes all the way back to when she was a little girl. Now, Chloë is a woman that influences millions with her words and presence on screen.


At only seven-years-old, Ms. Moretz was already featured on the television screen. She was cast as Violet for two episodes of the CBS drama series The Guardian. Chloë then set her sights on cinema. She was cast in a litany of films, from The Amityville Horror all the way to Kick Ass (and Kick Ass 2).

Moretz has also dipped her ink into the realm of modeling. Her face has graced the covers of many magazines, including Flaunt, Vogue, Elle, InStyle, and so much more.


It’d be a bit much if I listed all her television and movies projects. But since I’m also a Stephen King fan, I’ll mention her lead role in the 2013 remake of his film Carrie. She really kicked ass in that one (unfunny pun intended).

Ms. Moretz decided to step away from the Hollywood limelight in September 2016. She told The Hollywood Reporter that, “I want to reassess who I am and find myself within my roles again. I’m realizing that I can slow down.”

But don’t get upset, loyal reader. You’ll see this gorgeous star soon enough. She’ll be switching her focus back to the TV screen, as she plans to produce two new television shows. There are also three films currently in post-production, all starring the lovely Chloë Grace Moretz.

Maggie Nichols is a 19-year-old artistic gymnast from Little Canada, Minnesota. From 2013-2016, Nichols was a member of the U.S. national team. Even though she never made it to the Olympics, Nichols still enjoyed an impressive amount of success in international competition.

At the 2015 World Championships, Nichols won gold in team and bronze in floor exercise events. And at the 2014 Pan American Championships, Nichols brought home gold in team and bronze in all-around events.

After retiring from the national team, Nichols turned her focus to college. She is a freshman majoring in health and exercise science at the University of Oklahoma, and when she’s not hitting the books, she’s tearing it up for the Sooners gymnastics team.

Nichols is currently attempting to add to her trophy case, as she is competing at the 2017 NCAA Women’s Gymnastics Championships. Let’s do our part in wishing her good luck by taking a look at her hottest photos in the gallery above.

Jennifer Tse was born into Hong Kong film royalty, but she grew up in Vancouver, British Columbia. She later returned to her birthplace, where she blossomed into a beautiful actress and model.

The 34-year-old star spent most of her life living in quiet Canada. Her family moved to Vancouver, when she was only three-years-old. When Ms. Tse grew into a woman, she decided to follow her parents’ footsteps towards a life in film. She moved back to Hong Kong, a place she calls, “a 24-hour city, (that) never stops buzzing, (and) neither do the people. And that’s amazing in it’s own way.”


In 2010, Tse made her film debut for Bruce Lee, My Brother as Lee’s love interest. A year later, she appeared in the film Hong Kong Ghost Stories.

Next, Jennifer was cast as the lead in the 2012 film Naked Solider. Her character is named Phoenix, an assassin who cries after each kill.


Jennifer is also college educated, as she graduated the University of British Columbia with a bachelor’s degree in psychology.

She comes from a very talented family. Her brother is Nicholas Tse, an incredibly famous Hong Kong actor and pop star. Her father is Patrick Tse, a man who has been involved with Hong Kong’s film industry since the 1950s (up until 2003). Her mother is Deborah Lee, an actress just like her daughter.

Jennifer starred in two other films: Siddhartha (2014) and Knock Knock! Who’s There? (2015).


More recently, she has been focusing more on her modeling work. And some of her photos just look incredible. But don’t just take my word for it.

NBA Playoffs 2017 Memes: Funny Photos, Best Jokes & Pictures

The NBA Playoffs are here (Woooooo!) which means many a degenerate gambler are about to lose a ton of money, leading to pissed off wives and girlfriends making them sleep on the couch. In anticipation of all of this unrelenting loss and depression, we’ve put together a gallery of funny NBA memes to put a smile on that suddenly broke face. I know, it’s very considerate of us. You’re welcome.

This year’s playoffs have a ton of interesting subplots.

With Kevin Durant back in action, can the Golden State Warriors be stopped? Or will they roll through the league en route to their second title in three seasons? They’re the favorites for a reason at the moment, but even the 72-win team last year dropped a 3-1 series lead.

Can LeBron James whip the Cleveland Cavaliers into shape? After a dreadful second half to the season, the Cavs lost the Eastern Conference’s No. 1 seed to the Boston Celtics. That could come back to haunt them in a potential Game 7 in the Eastern Conference Finals.

Which prospective MVP – James Harden or Russell Westbrook – will come out on top in their first round matchup? Neither the Houston Rockets or the Oklahoma City Thunder are considered serious title contenders, can either squad make a deep playoff run? Personally, I want to keep seeing Russ obliterating everything in his path.

We’ll get answers to all of our most pressing questions in the coming weeks. For now, my biggest concern is if the Cavs at +250 to win it all is worth a flier? If Kevin Durant re-injures his knee in a mysteriously freak accident, you know where to point the finger.

An explosion near a bus convoy waiting to enter the Syrian city of Aleppo has killed or wounded several people, pro-government media outlets, pro-opposition activists and a monitor have reported.

What Happened?

According to a military media unite overseen by Damascus ally Hezbollah, a suicide attacker detonated a car bomb near the bus convoy.

Pictures posted by state media reveal the aftermath of the blast, with dead and injured lying on the ground and fires engulfing automobiles.

The blast was concentrated on the Rashidun area of Aleppo’s outskirts, where dozens of buses carry a mostly Shiite residents of two villages that are undergoing evacuations due to a deal between the opposing factions that has them waiting to enter the city.

It is unknown how many people have been killed and injured.

The British-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights reports casualties and says the explosion appeared to be the result of a bomb.

The buses had been stationed outside the city since Friday while the evacuation deal halted.


Aleppo, Syria

Aleppo is a city in Syria, serving as the capital of the Aleppo Governorate, the most populous Syrian governorate. In recent years, it has been at the center of the Syrian Civil War, with an increasing amount of citizen casualties, including children.

The marathon that is the NBA regular season is finally over, which is glorious news to the casual sports fan. The NBA playoffs are here, and we should be treated to a ton of drama and exciting finishes over the next couple of months. Getcha popcorn ready and protect your groin if you are within 500 feet of Draymond Green.

One of the favorites to hoist the coveted Larry O’Brien NBA Championship Trophy this year are the Cleveland Cavaliers. The defending champs went 51-31 in the regular season, which was good for the two-seed in the Eastern Conference. They had a shot at passing the Boston Celtics (53-29) for the one-seed, but they decided to rest key players late in the season. Cleveland is betting that a fresh LeBron James is more important than home field advantage, and considering that they won Game 5 and Game 7 of last year’s NBA Finals on the road, they might be on to something.

Looking to play spoiler in the first round of the Eastern Conference playoffs will be the Indiana Pacers. Indiana had a solid 42-40 campaign, and Paul George posted a second straight terrific season after suffering that devastating knee injury. George made his third All-Star team, boasting averages of 23.7 points, 6.6 rebounds, and 3.3 assists per game.

Cleveland went 3-1 against Indiana in the regular season, and the Cavaliers are a whopping -1350 favorite to win the series. While the Pacers probably won’t send the Cavs home, there is a great chance that Lance Stephenson will do something real bizarre.
