Some Guy Actually Gets KFC Double Down Tattoo: See the Photo!

What is it about fast food chains and the desire of some grown men to have memories of them inked on to their skin forever? First, there was the dude in Norway who got a McDonald’s receipt tattooed on to his forearm. And now there’s the anonymous guy on YouTube who has a photo of the KFC Double Down etched on his body. Featured in a commercial for the restaurant (below), the bushy-faced individual says he got a Double Down on a date with his girlfriend and “I guess that’s how it all started.” Sure. Makes sense. Based on that logic, it’s a wonder why more guys don’t have sirloin steaks or chicken parmesan sub tattoos all over their bodies. KFC Double Down Tattoo Ad “It’s a tattoo that people will always ask about,” the man says of his skin art. “And it’s funny, so.” So… yeah. He left it there.

Cynthia Bailey: Porsha Williams Anti-Gay Comments are "Ignorant"

Earlier today, shocking video emerged showing  Real Housewives of Atlanta star Porsha Williams making anti-gay comments at an Atlanta area church in 2010: Porsha Williams: Save the Gays! Porsha’s RHOA co-star Cynthia Bailey has spoken out against Porsha’s comments in a statement issued to TMZ. “To put gays and lesbians in the same category as drug dealers, hookers, and people who attempt suicide is ignorant and insensitive,” said Bailey. “Especially when she just profited from performing at a popular gay club. #flipflop” Yes, Cynthia’s statement apparently included a hashtag. Joining Cynthia in her criticism is the frequent  RHOA  guest star known as Miss Lawrence, himself a gay man living in in Atlanta. “I think some women use the community as a convenience…i.e. for gay slang, fan base building and beauty security,” said Lawrence. “But like always, true character always reveals.” Porsha has long been a controversial figure on the Bravo series. Her recent separation from husband Kordell Stewart has been an ugly and public affair and Porsha’s fight with Kenya Moore on the RHOA reunion show led to her arrest on assault charges. Williams’ boss – openly gay Bravo vice president Andy Cohen – has not yet stated if she will face disciplinary action as a result of the video. 9 Best Quotes From The Real Housewives of Atlanta Reunion Open Slideshow 1.

Michael Jordan: I Was Racist Against All White People

In a new book entitled Michael Jordan: The Life , the NBA legend reveals to author Ronald Lazenby that he considered himself to be racist “against all white people” while growing up in North Carolina. Jordan recalls that the Ku Klux Klan held major influence in Wilmington, NC during the 1960s and 70s, even providing Bibles to churches and uniforms to area basketball teams in order to maintain their power. The six-time NBA champion says he was subjected to frequent bigotry and ridicule during his childhood and teen years and received harsh punishments from authority figures when he attempted to fight back. During one incident in 1977, Jordan was suspended from school when he threw a soda in retaliation against a girl who attacked him with racial slurs. “So I threw a soda at her,” Jordan says when recalling the episode. “I was really rebelling. I considered myself a racist at the time. Basically, I was against all white people.” Recently, Jordan has been outspoken in his opinions regarding the Donald Sterling racism scandal . Jordan, who now owns the Charlotte Bobcats has stated that he “applauds” NBA commissioner Adam Silver’s decision to ban Sterling from the NBA .  In a recent interview to promote his comprehensive biography, Lazenby described Jordan’s life as “a black power story.”

Pope Francis Gets The C-Word Treatment In Parody Of The Onion’s Quvenzhané Wallis Tweet

Those who remain convinced that The Onion ‘s controversial Oscar-night tweet about Quvenzhané Wallis was  really about the Beasts of the Southern Wild  star and not about Hollywood hypocrisy should check out the below tweet from comedian and filmmaker  Paul Provenza . Last week, I posted The Aristocrats director’s thoughtful deconstruction of The Onion’s joke, why it wasn’t about Wallis and why the fake news organization’s subsequent apology was problematic. The story got a lot of reaction and, in the wake of yesterday’s announcement that Cardinal Jorge Mario Bergoglio had been elected the new leader of the Catholic Church, Pope Francis I ,  Provenza took the opportunity to riff on The Onion  brouhaha, and to drive home the point that the joke is not  about whoever is named being a cunt. Everyone else seems afraid to say it, but that new pope is kind of a cunt, right? @ TheOnion — Paul Provenza (@PaulProvenza) March 13, 2013 If you disagree and your ears are smoking like the Sistine Chapel’s chimney, sound off in the comments section below.
