Duggar Women Reveal Unique Wedding Dress Tradition: WATCH!

Back in November, Jinger Duggar got married to Jeremy Vuolo in the sort of massively-attended ceremony that's become a Duggar calling card. (Sources say nearly 1,000 guests watched the couple exchange vows.) But while the wedding was certainly lavish, it was also rooted in generations of tradition, as the Duggars  are reminding us in a newly-released clip from the upcoming season of Counting On. Yes, to the chagrin of some fans the Duggars are getting still more mileage out of Jinger's wedding. (We figured that well had pretty much run dry after devoting most of last season to the nuptials.) But at least this time they're letting us in on a family custom that had  been heretofore undiscussed: “There’s been a family tradition that whenever one of the girls gets married, they can take a piece of my mom and Grandma Duggar’s dress — they wore the same dress for their weddings,” Jinger tells the camera. “And so, we take a piece of that dress and incorporate it into our dress.” So they chop up Grandma Duggar's wedding dress? At the rate the Duggars get married and breed that thing is gonna be the size of a dish rag by 2025. But hey, at least it's original, and a refreshing change of pace from a family that usually seems allergic to originality. Yesterday, the Duggars offered dating advice to young women, and their tips were predictably old-fashioned and puritanical. By comparison this wedding dress thing is like a teen texting about premarital sex while pulling off a skateboard trick.

Kendall Jenner: SLAMMED For Tone Deaf Pepsi Commercial!

The Kardashian-Jenner clan has always had trouble staying on message politically. After being hailed as an advocate for the trans community, Caitlyn Jenner stuck by her conservative , Republican views. Kim and Kris supported Hillary in the 2016 presidential election … but then Kanye West met with Donald Trump during the president's shady transition. But no matter where you fall on the Kard clan political spectrum, one thing we can all agree on is that Kendall Jenner's new Pepsi commercial is dumb as hell. The ad seems to be aiming for a tone similar to that of the famous “I'd Like to Buy the World a Coke” commercial of 1971 by acknowledging the current climate of political strife while encouraging unity. But man did it miss the mark by a mile. For an indication of how mind-blowingly tone deaf the spot is, look no further than these side-by-side screengrabs: Yes, that's a bunch of cops recoiling in horror from a black woman while accepting the gift of ice cold Pepsi from Kendall. It's not hard to see why social media responded with a collective WTF? The intention of the ad seems to be to give an approving nod to both protesters and police while … giving Kendall Jenner woke points? We're not really sure. Whatever the intention, having Kenny save the day with with a crispy can of sugar water is just downright confusing. When your ad could've benefited from the social consciousness of Don freakin' Draper, you know you messed up bad.
