Turn Your Passion Into a Career...Even if That Passion is Adult Film
Vain, whose real name is Paige A. Jennings, had been an intern at Lazard Asset Management for about seven months. Her twitter, @TheVeronicaVain, is full of gems, but this sums it up best:
I left finance because if I'm going to take it up the ass for a decade, I'd prefer to get in to a hall of fame for it.

Touché of the Day: Ellen’s Epic Response to Post About Hollywood’s ‘Gay Agenda’
Forget hurricanes and earthquakes, a gay avalanche is coming and we need to be prepared!
A writer for The Christian Post wrote an op-ed last week called “Are You Aware of the Avalanche of Gay Programming Assaulting Your Home?”
In his piece, he criticizes a number of gay celebrities as well as gay-themed TV shows and films including Michael Sam, Anderson Cooper “Glee,” “Modern Family” and “Foxcatcher.”
“The indoctrination and propaganda coming from those advocating a gay lifestyle in our country, classrooms and culture are increasing,” he writes. “We are being bombarded!”
His suggestion is that we only watch shows like “Little House on the Prairie,” and “I Love Lucy” to combat this “tidal wave of unprecedented evil.”
He also targets Ellen in particular saying:
“Ellen DeGeneres” celebrates her lesbianism and “marriage” in between appearances of guests like Taylor Swift to attract young girls.
So on her show this week, Ellen responded to the online criticism, which she says she usually just ignores.
“If you ask me, Larry’s watching a lot of gay TV,” she joked, proceeding to discuss her real agenda.
“Larry the only way I’m trying to influence people is to be more kind and compassionate with one another. That is the message I’m sending out.”
There's a Site That Allows You to Anonymously Ship Your Enemies the Most Vile Substance Known to Man: Glitter
Passive agressives rejoice!
A new service called "ShipYourEnemiesGlitter.com" launched (and crashed) this week, offering to enact revenge for you by sending packets of glitter and a note to anyone you dislike.
The company says their hatred of glitter (i.e the "herpes of the craft world") is what inspired them to start the service, because it's nearly impossible to clean up.
Rick Santorum, Mitt Romney, Michelle Bachmann and Newt Gingrich all know what we're talking about.
It costs $9.99 Australian dollars (or about $8.15 in the United States), and anyone who wants to use the service just fills out a short form with the contact info for whomever they want to glitter bomb.
They will then "vomit up a tonne of glitter" and send it to your arch nemesis.
"There's someone in your life right now who you fucking hate," they write on the site. "Whether it be your shitty neighbour, a family member or that b*tch Amy down the road who thinks it's cool to invite you to High Tea but not provide any weed."
ShipYourEnemiesGlitter.com was bombarded this week with requests after Monday's launch, and it says that purchases are temporarily suspended as a result.
Slate interviewed the founder, a 22-year-old internet marketer from Australia named Mathew Carpenter, who says the response was overwhelming.
"Over 2,000 of the world's brightest people have spent money on this service," he said. "It's good for business, but bad for society."
Fail of the Day: Typo in Sheriff’s Office Rugs Makes Them for the Dogs
Fail or Win?
The Pinellas County Sheriff's Office in Florida bought some fancy new rugs recently, but they had to remove them because of a little spelling mistake.
Within the crest the text reads "In Dog We Trust" instead of "In God We Trust."
The mistake went unnoticed for several weeks before they realized it.
Since news of the photo spread online people have taken to the sheriff's office Facebook page asking that they auction it off and donate the money to an animal charity or place it in the K9 unit instead.
Or they could just appoint this guy as the new sheriff.
