PETA: Eating Meat is the Same as Rape!

Excuse us if we call this video “the most disgusting thing we’ve seen all year.”  Or hey – maybe all decade.   PETA released an an anti-dairy meat ad – as per normal – but this time, they took it too far, and cast women reading lines as if they’d been raped.  Spoiler? They weren’t.  PETA’s New Video is Simple Rape-Shaming In the video, women were featured talking about rape .  They detailed the horror and feelings that go along with sexual assault, and some of them even cry.  But the sick thing is, the video isn’t actually about human rape – it’s about “forced” insemination of dairy animals “requiring” them to reproduce when, who knows, maybe that one cow wants to be celibate.  The women said things like, “One man held me down, while another man touched me.” Another woman said, “I was so scared. I didn’t know what I had done wrong.” The video continued, but the conclusion was the icing on the vegan, cruelty-free cake.  After the women finished their bizarre, rape-mocking tirade, PETA wrote, “Every year, billions of animals are born into the meat, egg and dairy industries.” “Almost all of them are a result of forcible artificial insemination. Almost all of them are a result of rape. Don’t participate, go vegan.”  Are you picking your jaw up from the floor yet?   Because if you aren’t, you had better get a head start on it.  Some errant cow might saunter through wearing her feminist badge and passing out free birth control.  Naturally, PETA caught tons of flak from all over the internet.  One Twitter user wrote, “No survivor of sexual assault should have to go through their trauma being compared to an animal’s when we’ve already been dehumanized.” Another penned, “This is awful, and insensitive. You continue to spit in the faces of marginalized and victimized groups to push your message.” Even more came forward (surprise, surprise). One user said, “Apparently PETA’s new ad campaign is ‘if we trigger rape & sexual assault victims , maybe they’ll become vegans!” PETA however, didn’t back down. They responded to one of the many tweets with this gem, “Acknowledging that animals are sexually abused for meat & dairy doesn’t take away from seriousness of sexual abuse of humans.” OH OKAY.  Later, the PETA president released an official statement, which read, “It is rape when someone sticks their hand into a vagina or rectum without permission.” “Every decent person abhors and denounces sexual abuse of women but we cannot blithely accept the sexual abuse of other females who happen not to be human but have the same vulnerability to pain.” Good.  GRIEF.

Country Stars Read Mean Tweets, Crack Themselves Up

The world of Twitter can be so cruel. It’s a good thing the world of country music doesn’t take itself so seriously. Case in point: Carrie Underwood and Brad Paisley once again cracking us up as hosts of the CMA Awards last night. Another case in point: numerous country music stars coming together on Jimmy Kimmel Live to read mean Tweets about themselves. Country Stars Read Mean Tweets This was the second time that such huge names as Miranda Lambert, Dolly Parton, Florida Georgia Line and Little Big Town appeared on the late-night talk show in order to see what social media users had to say about them. And most of what they had to say was not very positive. “In case of a national emergency, all air traffic will be redirected to Miranda Lambert’s forehead,” Lambert read out loud about herself. “The guys from Florida Georgia Line were engineered in a douche factory,” to which the douches themselves replied: “Right down the road from here, actually!” Dolly Parton – a living,  breathing icon! – was compared to a street walker (“It’s not a hooker convention, it’s a Dolly Parton concert,” read the Tweet), although she laughed off the insults and responded thusly: “I guess I should feel hurt, but I don’t because I patterned my look after a hooker!” What did someone have to say about Kimberly Schlapman, a vocalist for Little Big Town? “Why does the blonde in Little Big Town have hair like a ‘Zoolander’ villain?” And Bonnie Raiit? “Bonnie Raitt looks like the aunt who would have a few too many at your mom’s birthday party and try to fight with your dad.” OUCH! These are legends, people! Fortunately, they are legends who took every diss and slam in stride. “Just because you have a beard, a ponytail, and a cowboy hat, doesn’t mean you can sing. You know how I know? Trace Adkins,” Adkins himself read on air. Willie Nelson, meanwhile, cracked up over being referred to as “crusty.” Probably because it’s true. We love this segment on Jimmy Kimmel Live. We could watch it every single night.

Tyson Gay Loses Teenage Daughter to Gun Violence

Veteran Olympic sprinter Tyson Gay has lost his 15-year old daughter. According to various news source, Trinity Gay was shot and killed early this morning in Kentucky. Police have confirmed that Trinity was shot in the neck during a shootout between two cars in a Lexington restaurant parking lot around 4 a.m.  Authorities say that the young woman was not in either car when the shooting took place; but she was hit nonetheless and then taken to a nearby hospital where she was pronounced dead within an hour. Gay caught a flight to Kentucky as quickly as he could, telling a local news station in the process: “She didn’t make it. She was just here last week for fall break … I have no idea what happened.” Police have not made any arrests. They are reportedly seeking two persons of interest. Trinity Gay was a sprinter at Lafayette High in Lexington, finishing fourth in the 100 meters and fifth in the 200 meters at the state Class 3A high school track meet in May. She also ran on a 4×200 relay team that finished in fourth place. Tyson Gay also ran at Lafayette and still holds the state record in the 100 meters. Kentucky High School Athletic Association commissioner Julian Tackett Tweeted in response to this tragedy that he was stunned by the death of Trinity. “Shocked to hear of death of Trinity Gay. A life of such potential cut so tragically short. Sympathies to Tyson and entire family,” he wrote. Tyson Gay has competed in the past three Summer Olympics. He was part of a unit that won a silver medal in the 4×100-meter relay at the 2012 London Games, although that medal was ultimately stripped after Gay tested positive for steroids in 2013. Gay’s 100 meters personal best of 9.69 seconds is the American record in that event and it makes him tied for second fastest athlete ever in the 100 meters, after Usain Bolt. The athlete’s 200 meters time of 19.58 makes him the sixth fastest athlete in that race. We cannot imagine the pain he is going through right now and we send his family our condolences.

Kailyn Lowry and Javi Marroquin: Feuding Again!

It seems like every time you turn around, a Teen Mom star is engaging in a ridiculous, pointless fight on social media. And if it seems that way, well, that’s because it is that way. We don’t know exactly what it is, but something about those Teen Moms just attracts drama in the most showy, passive aggressive way possible. And one of the moms who gets into this silly behavior most often? Kailyn Lowry. Of course . Kailyn is quite the fan of vague tweeting about people or things that bother her, and that’s exactly what she did yesterday. “If you say you’re gonna do something, do it,” she wrote over on Twitter. “Just f-cking do it.” “When people you once trusted use manipulation and guilt to control a situation,” she added. Now, we’re not exactly sure who she’s talking about here, but an easy guess would be that she’s trying to slam her soon-to-be ex-husband, Javi Marroquin . And it looks like Javi himself had that same guess. “Don’t make me expose you for you who really are,” he tweeted soon after Kailyn wrote her message. He even directed a message to her, telling her to “@ me next time. If you wanna go there. We can.” He wrapped things up with “If you use all your ammo to go for the kill you won’t have any bullets for the next guy. Remember that.” And then, a few hours later, Kailyn wrote “You will only get what you choose to tolerate.” This morning, she seemed to have one last thought on the matter: “Never good enough for someone who isn’t ready.” It seems like she never did take Javi up on his offer to “@ me next time,” though she did tweet a meme that read “Me deleting my tweets the morning after an emotional breakdown on twitter.” So it seems like Kailyn wanted people to think badly of Javi, like he was being manipulative and unreliable in strange and mysterious ways — seriously, why not just call him out for whatever he supposedly did? If she’s going to be like this, then she should just go for it — and Javi wasn’t having it. He called her out, and she backed down. Is this really what their relationship has come to? Sure, things have obviously been strained between them for a while now , and yes, they’ve been throwing shade back and forth at each other for months. Kailyn Lowry vs. Javi Marroquin: Teen Mom 2 Season 7 Reunion Clip He said she cheated, she said he cheated, he said she changed , she tosses out bizarre accusations without any real substance. Would it be so much to ask that these two adults act like, you know, adults? It’s really starting to look like it. View Slideshow: Kailyn Lowry & Javi Marroquin Divorce: A Timeline of Destruction

Call HRC: Donald Trump Retweets A Bill Clinton Rape Accuser Amidst ‘Grab Them By The P**sy’ Gate

This…is…ludicrous… Donald Trump Retweets Bill Clinton Rape Accuser In the midst of his current scandal Donald Trump is desperately doing his best to divert attention to not only Hillary Clinton but her husband Bill. After news broke that Trump was caught on a hot microphone telling Billy Bush that he could “grab women by the p**y” , he defiantly vowed to NEVER drop out of the Presidential election. He then attacked  Bill Clinton , not only accusing him of inappropriate behavior but retweeting a woman named Juanita Broaddrick who claims that Clinton is a rapist whose victims were shunned by Hillary. He also added a link to Breitbart’s exclusive with Broaddrick where she details her alleged sexual assault. While The Washington Post was busy putting the finishing touches on the release of a video in which Donald Trump boasted about hitting on women, Juanita Broaddrick was in town at the historic Watergate Hotel, where she repeatedly broke down in tears during a powerful video interview exclusive to Breitbart News, recounting what she described as the life-changing experience of being raped by Bill Clinton. Mind you tonight is the second Presidential debate, so there’s NO TELLING what could happen. If the gloves weren’t off before, they’re DEF off now. What do YOU think about Trump trying to out Bill Clinton as a rapist??? Andy Kropa/Invision/AP/David Goldman

Mother Goes on Tear-Filled Rant Against "Norf Norf"

We don’t want to cause any mass panic, but… STOP WHATEVER YOU ARE DOING AND WATCH THE FOLLOWING VIDEO. Christian Mom Goes on Tear-Filled Rant Against Against “Norf Norf,” Offensive Music Trust us. You will not regret doing so. The video features a self-described Christian mother of four who first explains her morning routine and how she drives her kids to school and how she typically listens to Christian radio. For whatever reason, though, she had a different station on one recent morning and the station played Vince Staples “Norf Norf.” As a mom, the woman says the track “infuriated” her, even with the “cuss words bleeped out.” The mother is particularly taken aback because her 11-year old daughter listens to the radio station in question and “I couldn’t even believe the words that I was listening to.” To emphasize her point, the woman proceeds to recite lyrics to the entire song, breaking down at certain lines she seemed to find misogynistic and violent, including lyrics about abortions, guns and gang-banging. And this is where the video gets taken to a whole new level of viral awesomeness. “I’ve gotta collect myself because this is what our youth is being subjected to,” she says prior to reading the song’s lyrics, word-by-word. In truth, the woman isn’t making a terrible point. She’s concerned about what her kids are listening to and the messages they’re receiving and that’s perfectly reasonable and valid. But she cries hysterically while reading the words to “Norf Norf” out loud for minutes at a time. It’s not hard to understand why the video has been shared so many times on social media. As you can imagine, Twitter had a field day with the footage… It’s worth noting that one of the woman’s kids is in the background while the woman is reciting lyrics about running from the police, having lots of sex and doing drugs. (The “hoes need abortions” line is where she really loses it.) Toward the end of the video, the emotional mother does clarify that she isn’t condemning the DJs playing the music (“I understand they have a job to do,” she says)… or even the people who listen to it. “But as a mom … man,” she says. “I’m raising four little girls, and that just breaks my heart that that is the kind of music that’s being played. The mother then pleads with other parents to “be aware that what your kids are listening to can have an impact on their lives.” That’s actually a fair thing to say and advise. All parents should absolutely be aware of the music their kids are listening to. But all parents should probably not record a video of themselves reciting the R-Rated lyrics to those songs on the Internet. It just invites ridicule.

Angelina Jolie: I Won’t File Child Abuse Charges Against Brad!

The last thing we heard about the sordid saga that is Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt’s divorce, they’d reached a temporary settlement. According to the terms of the settlement , which will last three weeks, Angelina gets full custody of the kids while Brad gets visitation rights — but a therapist has to be present for the first visit, and the therapist will decide if Brad’s future visits should be supervised or unsupervised. Brad has to undergo random drug testing because, as we’ve heard, Angelina believes Brad has been drinking too much and smoking too much weed. And finally, the whole family has to get a whole lot of therapy. The word is that all of this came about because of an incident on a plane in which Brad is said to have attacked their oldest son , Maddox, in some way. There’s been a lot of confusion as to what exactly happened, but whatever it was, it was enough for witness to contact authorities. But now we’re hearing more details about what went down on that plane. And what’s more, we’re hearing about what Angelina wants to happen to Brad in the aftermath of the incident. According to sources on Angelina’s side who spoke with TMZ, she told the L.A. County Department of Children and Family Services that Brad actually struck Maddox in the face. Sources close to Brad maintain that he simply lunged at Maddox and accidentally hit him when Angelina got in between them. But the point is that, whatever happened, Angelina is reportedly refusing to cooperate with any actions to file charges against Brad. Yeah, this is an interesting turn of events. As it stands now, authorities can determine whether or not to charge Brad with child abuse. And if they decide to go after him, Angelina will refuse to help them. It’s kind of strange that Angelina would take this stance, since she was obviously disturbed by Brad’s actions. But this report claims that Angelina is firm — Brad shouldn’t be prosecuted. She’s said to be more concerned with “protecting her kids” instead of with “punishing Brad.” And that makes sense, right? If Brad were to be charged with child abuse, it wouldn’t be good for him, to say the least. And it would have to be hard on the kids to see their father like that.  Maybe he deserves to be prosecuted, maybe he doesn’t. It’s hard to say without knowing all the details. But either way, what a sad, sad situation this is. View Slideshow: Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt: A Romance Retrospective

Rob Kardashian and Blac Chyna: It’s Over If …

If we’re to believe Blac Chyna, Rob Kardashian has a real big problem with talking to other ladies while he’s supposed to be in a committed relationship with Chyna. Specifically, as Chyna always tells it, Rob has a problem with “texting bitches.” Rob’s bad habit has led to what is by far the most memorable moment of Rob & Chyna so far — who could forget Chyna screaming about all those texts with all those bitches ? And, of course, the issue came up again just this week when Chyna tweeted out Rob’s phone number . It seemed like kind of a weird move, especially considering all the breakup rumors that have been surrounding the couple, but Chyna explained it all in a very cringe-worthy Snapchat video. “To ensure that your man is not texting no bitches,” she so eloquently stated, “just tweet his number out.” She then told Rob to get his number changed, so apparently her thought process was to tweet his number so he’d be forced to get a new one, which would leave all those mysterious bitches without a good way to contact him. After she gave Rob his instructions, she also added, with a gleam of madness in her eyes, “To all these females wanna keep texting his phone ’cause they had his number before, talking about ‘You good? You and Chyna good?’ Naw, we good! We good. We straight, all right?” So it’s pretty safe to say that Chyna has had it up to here with Rob hollering at other ladies or vice versa. And that’s where this new report comes in — a report that claims that if Rob gives the new number out to any women, Chyna’s done . A source close to Chyna claims that “If Rob gives his new number out to any females that Blac suspects may be more than a real genuine friend, she’ll be done with Rob.” Yeah, that seems pretty fair so far. “She’s not about to be played by another man,” the source continues. “She will literally delete him from her memory and will only deal with him for the sake of their daughter once she’s born. She’s already told Rob she’s serious and will leave him high and dry if he gives his number out to another bitch.” Yikes. Honestly though, this is just another example of why Rob and Chyna are kind of a bad couple in general. If Rob is talking to other women in a flirtatious way, that’s wrong of him. He’s engaged, and his fiancee obviously really does not appreciate it. But, and this is also painfully obvious, Chyna does not always handle this in the best way. She’s actually kind of terrifying in how she handles her anger, and we wouldn’t be surprised if she’s blowing this entire thing out of proportion. For instance, when she gets so furious with Rob for “texting bitches,” maybe he’s just texting a female family member or a platonic female friend. Sure, maybe Rob’s been attracted to some of those ladies in the past, but that doesn’t mean he’s cheating. Rob Kardashian and Blac Chyna Reveal Their Childhood Crushes If Chyna wasn’t pregnant, we’d hope that these two would just go their separate ways and put an end to all the stupid, pointless drama. But, as it were … man, there’s really no way this is going to end well. View Slideshow: Blac Chyna and Rob Kardashian: Their Relationship In 15 Photos
