Nice Try! Facebook Shuts Down Maladroit Mayo Group Planning To Tank ‘Black Panther’s’ Rotten Tomatoes Score

Han Myung-Gu/Getty Images for Disney Facebook Group Planning To Sabotage Black Panther Ratings Shut Down A Facebook group started by an alt-right member planning to sabotage “Black Panther” with negative reviews has been shut down. Last week news spread that the maladroit mayo in the Down-With-Disneys-Treatment-of-Franchises-and-its-Fanboys group declared that they’d flood Rotten Tomatoes with low scores for the film. Over 3,000 people agreed to participate. Unfortunately for the desperate deplorables, Facebook’s shut them down because they “violated community standards.” Rotten Tomatoes has also spoken out and added that they don’t support the hate speech the rancid racists were spewing and if they try to downplay the film, they’ll be blocked. “We at Rotten Tomatoes are proud to have become a platform for passionate fans to debate and discuss entertainment, and we take that responsibility seriously,” wrote RT in a statement. “While we respect our fans’ diverse opinions, we do not condone hate speech. Our team of security, network and social experts continue to closely monitor our platforms, and any users who engage in such activities will be blocked from our site and their comments removed as quickly as possible.” The film’s director Ryan Coogler previously shook off criticism from the Facebook group and classily said he wants everyone to feel included no matter their politcal views. “For me, I’m looking forward to everybody seeing the film,” Coogler said to  The Huffington Post . “I’m really looking forward to sharing the film with audiences regardless of what their political views are … that’s kind of where I [stand on that].” He’s a much kinder person than us.

Safety Is Sexy: Pyeongchang Sets A Record for Most Condoms Distributed At Winter Olympics

 FABRICE COFFRINI/AFP/Getty Images Winter Olympics Sets New Record For Condom Distribution In 2018, The Olympics ain’t playing when it comes to safe sex–and Pyeongchang is going above and beyond to make sure that every athlete is safe at the Winter Olympics. South China Morning Post  has reported that 110,000 condoms will be given out this year. With the total number of athletes only reaching 2,925, that’s a little less than 40 condoms per person, which makes it the largest number distributed in the history of the Winter Olympics. If that supply runs out, the site also claims that condoms will also be available in men and women’s restrooms in addition to the media and medical centers throughout the Olympic Village. Convenience Co donated 100,000 of the condoms for “a successful hosting of the Winter Olympics and the prevention of the spread of the HIV virus.”100,000 condoms were passed out during the 2010 Vancouver and 2014 Sochi games respectively, but during the Summer Olympics in 2016, Brazil passed out a whopping 450,000 condoms. More people do compete in the Summer Games than the Winter, though, so that’s to be expected. Pyeongchang’s Winter Olympics runs from Feb. 9 to Feb 25. Continue reading

If You Care: Whitesplainin’ Becky Bo Derek Butted Into Dead Horse Hair Beef Over Kim K Kornrows

SplashNews/Bettmann/Getty Images Bo Derek Backs Up Kim Kardashian Over Appropriation Braids Yeah, so once again African women got zero apologies or acknowledgment about another episode of culture vulturing by Kim Kardashian but in case you missed it, BO DEREK HERSELF stepped up to say that yes, Kim really was channeling her look from the movie “10,” but at the end of the day they’re all copying the ancient Egyptian Queen Nofertari. Do you think Bo did a good cleanup job or was she just kicking a dead horse at this point? Also, do you think that it’s disrespectful that she acknowledges an Egyptian Queen but not the African culture and African-American trend that was thriving at the time of the making of her film?

The Entire Board Of USA Gymnastics Resigns Following Disgraceful Sexual Abuse Case

Scott Olson/Getty Images Entire USA Gymnastics Board Asked To Step Down Every member of the USA Gymnastics board announced they will resign after the U.S. Olympic Committee forced its hand on Thursday, demanding the remaining members step aside before January 31, otherwise facing termination by the sport’s national governing body. A USA Gymnastics spokeswoman told ABC News Friday, “USA Gymnastics will comply with the USOC requirements.” Of course, the move by the  USOC  comes in the wake of Larry Nassar’s sentencing on Wednesday to 40-175 years in prison for the sexual assault of  nearly 160 U.S. gymnasts under his care. He pleaded guilty to seven counts of first-degree criminal sexual conduct involving girls who were 15 years old or younger. USOC Chief Executive Officer Scott Blackmun made these demands in a letter addressed to the USA Gymnastics Board of Directors on Thursday. They acknowledged the board’s recent resignations, but called for further steps to entirely reboot the organization since there were 16 board members who had yet to step down. An excerpt from the letter states: “We are also aware of the recent resignations of USAG board chair Paul Parilla and three other board members. Now that these steps have been completed, USAG must build on them with a categorically fresh start at the board level.” The letter does not implicate that the board had anything to do with covering up the Nassar allegations, but instead states the “culture needs fundamental rebuilding.” McKayla Maroney, who won a gold medal as part of the women’s gymnastics team in 2012, filed a lawsuit against USA Gymnastics and the USOC in December, saying they “failed to properly investigate, disciple or remove” Nassar.

Don’t tell Mama Evelyn… Toni Braxton Says Tamar And Vince Will Get Back Together Big sis knows best. Toni Braxton is speaking on her sister’s messy divorce from Vince Herbert and she’s adamant that they’ll eventually reconcile. Toni was recently a guest on Angie Martinez and spoke candidly on Tamar’s split from her hubby that she says is “just a phase.” “I think Tamar and Vince are just going through an “I Hate You Jody” stage, remember the movie Baby Boy?‘” said Toni. “I hate you, Jody!’ You know that’s just their phase. And I think those two are going to get back together.” Really Toni? What about Mama Evelyn’s claims that Vince gave Tamar black eyes during domestic abuse situations? Toni also told Angie that she has no idea what’s really going with those shady “pregnant side-chick” rumors and even if she did know, she’d keep her mouth shut. “It’s not my business to tell their business,” she asserted, “but if I knew, I wouldn’t say anything.” Toni’s so sure that Tamar and Vince are getting back together that she bet Angie Mar $100.
