Steve Harvey Announces Miss Universe, It's The Wrong Person


Oh Steve, what were you thinking? Watch and cringe your face off as Steve Harvey crowns the winner of the Miss Universe competition, only to realize after the waves of applause have run their course, that he read the wrong "winner." I wonder how early on into all the applause he realized that he'd failed big time. Or, did someone have to tell Steve that he'd gone and messed up?

Tumblr Post: Former English Teacher Defends Controversial Christmas Song


It's that time of the year again. With the holiday season in full bloom, it's time to steer our attention to that one Christmas song that never fails to stir up the spicy debate about what it's exactly getting at. We have a former English teacher chime in on a tweet that condemns the infamous song, "Baby It's Cold Outside", with their analysis of what the song actually represents.

Text - bigbutterandeggman Hi there! Former English nerd/teacher here. Also a big fan of jazz of the 30s and 40s. So. Here's the thing. Given a cursory glance and applying today's worldview to the song, yes, you're right, it absolutely *sounds* like a rape anthem. BUT! Let's look closer! "Hey what's in this drink" was a stock joke at the time, and the punchline was invariably that there's actually pretty much nothing in the drink, not even a significant amount of alcohol.

3.

Text - See, this woman is staying late, unchaperoned, at a dude's house. In the 1940's, that's the kind of thing Good Girls aren't supposed to do – and she wants people to think she's a good girl. The woman in the song says outright, multiple times, that what other people will think of her staying is what she's really concerned about: "the neighbors might think," "my maiden aunt's mind is vicious," "there's bound to be talk tomorrow." But she's having a really good time, and she wants to stay, a

Text - That is the standard joke that's going on when a woman in media from the early-to-mid 20th century says "hey, what's in this drink?" It is not a joke about how she's drunk and about to be raped. It's a joke about how she's perfectly sober and about to have awesome consensual sex and use the drink for plausible deniability because she's living in a society where women aren't supposed to have sexual agency. Basically, the song only makes sense in the context of a society in which women are

Text - and expected for a lady's gentleman companion to pressure her despite her protests, because he knows she would have to say that whether or not she meant it, and if she really wants to stay she won't be able to justify doing so unless he offers her an excuse other than “I'm staying because I want to." (That's the main theme of the man's lines in the song, suggesting excuses she can use when people ask later why she spent the night at his house: it was so cold out, there were no cabs availa

6.

Text - the woman has a voice, and she's using it to give all the culturally-understood signals that she actually does want to stay but can't say so. She states explicitly that she's resisting because she's supposed to, not because she wants to: “I ought to say no no no..." She states explicitly that she's just putting up a token resistance so she'll be able to claim later that she did what's expected of a decent woman in this situation: "at least I'm gonna say that I tried." And at the end of th

7.

Text - So it's not actually a song about rape - in fact it's a song about a woman finding a way to exercise sexual agency in a patriarchal society designed to stop her from doing so. But it's also, at the same time, one of the best illustrations of rape culture that pop culture has ever produced. It's a song about a society where women aren't allowed to say yes.which happens to mean it's also a society where women don't have a clear and unambiguous way to say no.

Barista Wrongly Assumes Customer Wants Fist Bump


Man, all this technology that we have infused with our daily existence can go on to inspire some moments of hilarious confusion. Basically, the technology can end up accomplishing the opposite intended effect. In this case, we have a customer who was just out there trying to make use of their fancy Apple watch, and ended up in the middle of a fist bump exchange that they never wanted a part in, in the first place. Oh well, at least we got the nice little fail out of it.

New baristas are usually put in drive thru since it's easy, and all you need to focus on is ringing orders through, charging customers, and handing food/drinks out (as well as deal with the occasional annoying customer). This was my f

Text - One morning after the 6:00am-9:00am rush passed, I was on drive by myself. Things were slowing down, and I felt quite good about not messing up so far in my shift. So I was excited to meet the next drive customer. Usually, in response to my cheery greetings (or any greeting for that matter), customers respond with at least a "Hello" or "how's it going?" as per normal human etiquette. Customer X did not; Customer X wrote his own rules. He rolls up to the window and I greet him with a cute

Text - bump for some reason. So I go with it, I fist-bump him, which makes him give me a confused look. I get confused too so I cup my hands under his fist again, thinking "maybe he wants a fist-bump before giving me his change". He then proceeds to open his fist, palm up, to reveal that nothing was there, and then holds his hand in a fist again. For some reason this makes me think he's performing the magic trick where the magician shows you there's nothing in his hand and then he makes somethin

5.

Text - I immediately ducked beneath the window in embarrassment and laughed awkwardly and loudly at myself. I heard him chuckle while driving off as I died on the floor. TL;DR I didn't understand why a customer was wordlessly offering me his fist, so I fist-bumped him multiple times, not realizing he just wanted to pay with his Apple watch. Edit: I usually find these edit thank-you endnotes cheesy and annoying, but just wanted to say thank you to everyone for the upvotes and awards upvotes l've

Mortician on Dating App Gets Slammed With Puns


For most people, dating is about being suave and trying to subtly insinuate how much money you make. But for the rest of us, it's all about how many bone-shatteringly clever and stupid puns you can shoehorn into a short conversation. And if someone mentions that they have an out-of-the-ordinary job? All aboard the pun train, choo choo. Tinder is known to get some cheesy and stupid moments, but hey man everyone's doing their best. For fans of wordplay and cleverness, here are technically accurate moments that aren't exactly wrong.

Creepiest Things People Said On A First Date


The dating world can be a strange and terribly uncomfortable one at times. You never really know what you're walking into on that first date. Sometimes, you end up sitting across the table from a seemingly normal person, until they start busting out all the gnarly red flags. Maybe they say something that you just can't look past when it's all said and done. From there, it's really up to you to remove yourself from the unfortunate situation. These people describe times they found themselves on a first date that they just had to dip on out of before it was all said and done. With what they're describing, it seems like a completely understandable decision.

Hilarious, Creepy, And Cursed Glitches From The Sims


Nothing like some throwback glitches from the ever wacky and cursed world of The Sims to make you want to fire the game back up again.
