No bueno Dave & Buster’s Posts Racist Tweet About Tacos Ill-advised tweets are the root of all sorts of internet comedy on a weekly basis. Today, the champion of social media SNAFU goes to family-oriented restaurant Dave & Busters. Early this afternoon they posted this tweet that sent the 140-character chulos and chulas into a frenzy, muy enojado. For the life of us, we can’t figure out how some of these corporate social media managers got their jobs. Surprisingly, as much as some are outraged and offended, there are many (some hispanic and latino) who actually think the tweet is quite clever. Flip it over to read Dave & Buster’s official apology and get a sample of how people are responding to the “controversy”. Image via Shutterstock
Dear Bossip , I’ve known my friend for 4 years now. This past March he said that out of respect of his girlfriend he doesn’t talk to other females a lot. I have a lot of feelings for him ever since the day I met him. I met him on a trip back in 2010. He lived in Detroit and I was in Arizona. We always stayed in touch through calls. I only met him that one time on that trip and saw him another time while speaking with him thru Skype. We’ve never dated. He’s told me throughout our friendship of the chicks he’s been with and had sex with. Being that we never dated, I tried to not let it get to me because we never were together. Until, we talked about some day being together. He said that I was the only female that he’s ever thought of marrying. He’s told me not to wait for him, but then he said he wanted me to. I told him that’s not fair and you can’t do that. He’s told me that he knows that. When I met him he was 24 years old, and I was 30 years old. I think a lot of him has a lot of growing up to do, or if it’s me making an excuse for him. I’ve always listened when he told me of his failed relationships. I’m not sure with him dating now if it’s going to be another failed one. In the past, every time when we haven’t spoken in a while he would ask if I’m dating. I know he was asking to see if I was still available and checking my dating status. In a way, I’m kind of waiting for him, but I know if someone else comes available I would move on with that person, but I just haven’t found that one yet. So, in the meantime I’m still thinking about this dude. I miss him so much. I care about him so much, and, I think about him all the time. I care enough about him to let him go. In the meantime, I have been doing my own thing, changing me, and exercising. I’ve moved to ATL. I’m working and doing what I need to do. I don’t know if I will ever hear from him again. I don’t text, or call. I’ve deleted his number. I’m on the verge of changing my number and to never hear from him again, but it’s hard just getting rid of someone you took the time to know, and I’ve made the investment in trying to know that person. I don’t want to lose him, but then I don’t want to keep falling in the same thing where we start talking again as friends and then he tells me he can’t talk to me because out of respect of dating again. I don’t have time for that. My feelings are already involved, so I don’t want it to keep getting deeper and deeper. – Holding On Dear Ms. Holding On , Did I miss something? How can you miss something you’ve never had? (Sips tea) You met him once. He lives in another state. You’ve only communicated once on SKYPE. You keep in touch via text messages and phone calls. You’ve never dated, yet, he tells you about all the women he’s been with, and how he’s living his life. However, you’re holding on to feelings and emotions for this guy because….????? I’m confused. You are now a 34 year old woman who met a man once in 2010, yet, you think and feel there is something there between you and he, but you haven’t seen him again in four years!!?!! What the hell is he filling your head with? You didn’t even touch or see the d**k, and, yet, you’re already hooked. Damn! And, this is where I don’t understand your logic – He’s told you that he can’t and won’t talk to you out of respect for his girlfriend, which have been many, and you’re waiting on him for what reason again? But, hold on, he does this every time he’s in a relationship!?! What are you waiting on him for? He’s not interested in being with you. He’s not interested in you being his girlfriend. And, that line with him saying that you’re the one woman he would marry is some bull-ish! If he wanted you then he would be with you. He would move, transition, and be right there with you. Any man who wants to be with woman will make the provisions to be with her despite the space, or time. He wouldn’t string you along for four years playing with your heart and emotions making you believe something that will never manifest. But, it’s really your fault. Your desperation is sad and pathetic. You seriously have this imaginary relationship going on with him that you have created, and continue to maintain. You have a false sense of reality, and have concocted this fantasy relationship with someone you’ve only seen once. You’ve decided to invest in someone whom you only talk with via text message and random calls here and there. No woman in her right mind would continue or even fathom the idea of maintaining a relationship with someone they met once, and who lived across the damn country! You live in your head and not in the real world. Ma’am, get out of your head! Not once in the four years of knowing him, which you barely know him, and in talking with him on the phone has he stated that he would make the trip to visit you. Not once did he offer to send for you, the woman he said he would marry. Instead, he’s told you that he can’t engage or communicate with you because he’s with someone else. He’s told you that you shouldn’t wait for him. He’s basically telling you that you are a damn fool to be waiting on him and should not waste any energy trying to have something with him because it is not going to happen. So, since you’ve already deleted his number, and you haven’t heard from him since March, then go ahead and change your number. I can guarantee you that you will not hear from him. He is not going to call you. He is not thinking of you. He is not interested in you. Keep doing you, and live your life. Move on. Maintain your exercise regime and make the best of living in a new city. There are plenty of available, attractive, smart, intelligent, and career-minded men in your area. It’s been four years of holding on to nothing that manifested. It’s time for you to have some fun, enjoy yourself, and date. Make friends, go out, and live your life. You’ve started a new journey, now make it complete by deleting him out of it, so that new doors of opportunities can pour in. – Terrance Dean Photo source: Shutterstock Hey Bossip Fam, what do you think?

Elijah flashed back to his childhood and suffered through a restless day of sleep on The Originals Season 2 Episode 7 , courtesy of Esther’s witchy ways. When he awoke (courtesy of an antidote Klaus tracked down in the bayou), quite a few developments had taken place. To wit: Watch The Originals Season 2 Episode 7 Online KLAUS KILLED HIS FATHER . His biological dad followed Klaus out into the woods and helped him find the magic herb that would awaken ELijah. He talked to his son about the peace he would find as a werewolf and seemed to make a sincere impression on Klaus. But he also said that he knows Hope is alive (via his werewolf intuition or something) and this would prove to be his fatal undoing. Yes, Klaus believed that his father had honest intentions about helping to protect Hope. But what if Esther got a hold of him? What if she cast some spell on him and learned the truth? It was too risky. Klaus could not afford any chance his daughter would be in danger. So he sliced his father to death with a sword and left his corpse as a present to Esther. VINCENT AND KOL WERE CAPTURED . Hayley, Josh, Aiden and Marcel used Cami as bait to lure Vincent/Finn in, taking advantage of his feelings for his pupil. But they were nearly overpowered on their own once they had Vincent cornered in the church. So it’s a good thing Jackson accepted his responsibility as the alpha when he did, swooping in to rescue Hayley and giving Cami a chance to snap sme magic handcuffs on Vincent. Kol, meanwhile, spent more of the episode bonding with Davina. He showed her a tomb he used to frequent in 1914 and explained to her how he knows some dark magic. But he needs her help. Their chemistry makes them stronger as a team and, if they work together, they could make a dagger into the kind of weapon with which they could stab Klaus and leave him in a box. When you watch The Originals online , you’ll see how Marcel is able to apprehend Kol after he brings Davina home to sleep. So we left off with Klaus and Elijah smiling over their handcuffed brothers, planning to use them in some way against Esther… who captured Camille to close out the hour. Where will things pick up on The Originals Season 2 Episode 8 ? Check out the official CW teaser here: The Originals Season 2 Episode 8 Promo
Monday on Bravo’s Vanderpump Rules Season 3 Episode 3, we saw Lisa and her cast of characters preparing for the grand opening of her bar venture. Who’s PUMPed up for that?! (See what we did there?!) Naturally, this meant lots of budget and schedule analysis on Vanderpump Rules Season 3 Episode 3 , and also plenty of work to be done for all involved. So who got closure? And who got kicked to the curb? Watch Vanderpump Rules Season 3 Episode 3 Online After getting fired by Lisa Vanderpump last week, someone either doesn’t know what “fired” means, or he was too busy taking Beamer selfies that he forgot. James Kennedy , everyone. What a douche. The British thorn in Tom Sandoval’s side actually showed up ready for work SUR, where Lisa had just terminated him after his epic fight with Tom. Peter did the honors a second time here. However, will the third time be the charm? After penning a heartfelt letter to Lisa, James Kennedy was REINSTATED as SUR’s most famous busser! How could she really fire the guy after he brings so much to the table (see what we did there?!) when you watch Vanderpump Rules online these days? Exactly. It’s just business, dahling. Meanwhile, Stassi was amped up for the opening of PUMP, and Jax was stoked to have her back on the L.A. scene. Scheana Marie , on the other hand? Far from thrilled. It wasn’t long, in fact, before Scheana confronted Stassi about her wedding, telling Stassi she acts like she’s better than everyone, and then storming off. [Slow clap] So well rehearsed and convincing, Scheana. It’s a wonder that acting career hasn’t taken off by now, although she’s doing quite well here on Bravo. Finally, we have Kristen Doute and Tom Sandoval, who broke up months ago but are clearly obsessed with each other, at least if you ask the other one. “Tom needs to get out of my life,” Kristen says at one point, in between talking about Tom, chatting up his alleged paramours and talking about Tom some more. After she texts him to plan an exchange of their stuff, she headed over to their old place – where Tom now lives with Ariana – and then became a mess. Vanderpump Rules Cast Photos 1. Stassi Schroeder Sassy Stassi is the resident wit on Vanderpump Rules. She’s basically a young Lisa V. in the making. Kristen cried, said she’s so happy, stated that they all don’t have to “like each other,” told Ariana she doesn’t hate her, then cried more and got closure. We think? At first, Tom hesitated to relinquish the cable box, but when she said this would always keep them connected, he gave it up like Scheana Marie to Eddie Cibrian. Kristen, of course, having just achieved catharsis and excited to move on, said that even when she’s married with kids, she will likely think about Tom. Oye.
