The Vermont Teddy Bear Company is Selling a "50 Shades" Bear. We're Doomed as a Species.
That image is completely 100% real. The Vermont Teddy Bear Company, long-time sellers of adorable bear products, is selling a Christian Grey teddy bear - apparently fully licensed. The parade of sadness continues on their official tumblr, which features forced memes of the bear making terrible sexual puns:
Why, you may ask? Because #brands, yo. Hashtag brands.
Meltdown of the Day: McDonald’s Employee Goes on Rampage in Minnesota
This guy is definitely not "lovin' it."
A McDonald's employee in St. Paul, Minnnesota went on a rampage this past weekend, and the whole thing was captured on video by one of the customers.
He storms back and forth knocking down everything in sight, leaving quite a mess while everyone else in the store watches.
The scene is a bit like the kid who tore through a dollar store last year, but with a lot more screaming and profanity.
He had just been fired, according to the uploader, which triggered the McMeltdown.
This isn't exactly the McDonald's experience depicted in their new "Pay With Lovin'" campaign.
Gary is Very, VERY Upset About Snow on His Property. Let's Watch!
Warning: Language in this video. And sweet, delicious rage.

"Melanie's Marvelous Measles" is a Real Book That Exists
According to the book's description on Amazon, author Stephanie Messenger "has devoted her life to educating people about vaccines and natural health choices."
Natural meaning anti-vax, of course. From the book's back cover
Melanie's Marvelous Measles was written to educate children on the benefits of having measles and how you can heal from them naturally and successfully. Often today, we are being bombarded with messages from vested interests to fear all diseases in order for someone to sell some potion or vaccine, when, in fact, history shows that in industrialized countries, these diseases are benign and, according to natural health sources, beneficial to the body.
Having raised three children vaccine free and childhood disease free, I have experienced many times when my children's vaccinated peers succumb to the childhood diseases they were vaccinated against. Surprisingly, there were times when my unvaccinated children were blamed for their peers' sickness. Something which is just not possible when they didn't have the diseases at all.
The internet isn't taking this one lying down, of course; the Amazon reviews include requests for a Braille version for a child blinded by measles and a glowing review from someone who claims to "specialize in itty bitty coffins". Leave your own review and, more importantly, VACCINATE YOUR KIDS.
