Tom Brady is a Cockroach

0
0


- Before the Super Bowl, Zoo Atlanta and the Roger Williams Park Zoo in RI made a bet that the loser had to name a baby animal after the winning team's quarterback, and Zoo Atlanta revealed Tom Brady the Madagascar Hissing Cockroach on facebook today.

- Tom Brady will hiss when fighting or as part of his mating ritual, likes to eat decaying organic matter, and is a positive cockroach because he will survive the imminent nuclear war.

- Unfortunately, Atlanta doesn't get all the credit because both zoos agreed on the Madagascar hissing cockroach beforehand, but they probably knew how it would end due to their experiences with Atlanta sports.

Harrison Ford, who is okay, mistakenly landed on a taxiway at John Wayne Airport

- On Monday, Harrison Ford landed his Cessna on a taxiway instead of a runway at John Wayne Airport in Orange County (which I think is like National in that it's terrifying to fly out of and was renamed after an asshole?), buzzing an American Airlines 737 that took off safely a few minutes later.

- Air traffic controllers gave him the right info, and he repeated it back, so it's unclear why he landed on the taxiway. He was heard to say "Was that airliner meant to be underneath me?" There will be an FAA investigation that could lead to a suspension of his license.

- Ford has had a couple of other incidents flying—including a crash due to engine failure in a WWII-era plane in 2015 and a helicopter crash in 1999—but NBC says that he's "revered as an excellent pilot in aviation circles."

Year of Yes: How to Dance It Out, Stand in the Sun and Be Your Own Person by Shonda Rhimes



About: The mega-talented creator of Grey’s Anatomy and Scandal and executive producer of How to Get Away With Murder chronicles how saying YES for one year changed her life―and how it can change yours, too.

With three hit shows on television and three children at home, the uber-talented Shonda Rhimes had lots of good reasons to say NO when an unexpected invitation arrived. Hollywood party? No. Speaking engagement? No. Media appearances? No.

And there was the side-benefit of saying No for an introvert like Shonda: nothing new to fear.

Then Shonda’s sister laid down a challenge: just for one year, try to say YES to the unexpected invitations that come your way. Shonda reluctantly agreed―and the result was nothing short of transformative. In Year of Yes, Shonda Rhimes chronicles the powerful impact saying yes had on every aspect of her life―and how we can all change our lives with one little word. Yes.

You Can't Touch My Hair: And Other Things I Still Have to Explain by Phoebe Robinson



About: A hilarious and affecting essay collection about race, gender, and pop culture from celebrated stand-up comedian and WNYC podcaster Phoebe Robinson.

Phoebe Robinson is a stand-up comic, which means that, often, her everyday experiences become points of comedic fodder. And as a black woman in America, she maintains, sometimes you need to have a sense of humor to deal with the absurdity you are handed on the daily. Robinson has experienced her fair share over the years: she's been unceremoniously relegated to the role of "the black friend," as if she is somehow the authority on all things racial; she's been questioned about her love of U2 and Billy Joel ("isn t that . . . white people music?"); she's been called "uppity" for having an opinion in the workplace; she's been followed around stores by security guards; and yes, people do ask her whether they can touch her hair all. the. time. Now, she's ready to take these topics to the page and she s going to make you laugh as she s doing it.

Using her trademark wit alongside pop-culture references galore, Robinson explores everything from why Lisa Bonet is "Queen. Bae. Jesus," to breaking down the terrible nature of casting calls, to giving her less-than-traditional advice to the future female president, and demanding that the NFL clean up its act, all told in the same conversational voice that launched her podcast, "2 Dope Queens," to the top spot on iTunes. As personal as it is political, "You Can't Touch My Hair" examines our cultural climate and skewers our biases with humor and heart, announcing Robinson as a writer on the rise."

Life-Motion-Unlikely-Ballerina-Misty-Copeland

Life in Motion: An Unlikely Ballerina by Misty Copeland



About: "Picture a ballerina in a tutu and toe shoes. What does she look like?"

As the only African American soloist dancing with the prestigious American Ballet Theatre, Misty Copeland has made history. But when she first placed her hands on the barre at an after-school community center, no one expected the undersized, anxious thirteen-year-old to become a ground-breaking ballerina.

When she discovered ballet, Misty was living in a shabby motel room, struggling with her five siblings for a place to sleep on the floor. A true prodigy, she was dancing en pointe within three months of taking her first dance class and performing professionally in just over a year: a feat unheard of for any classical dancer. But when Misty became caught between the control and comfort she found in the world of ballet and the harsh realities of her own life (culminating in a highly publicized custody battle), she had to choose to embrace both her identity and her dreams, and find the courage to be one of a kind.

With an insider's unique point of view, Misty opens a window into the life of a professional ballerina who lives life center stage: from behind the scenes at her first auditions to her triumphant roles in some of the most iconic ballets. But in this beautifully written memoir, she also delves deeper to reveal the desire and drive that made her dreams reality.

Life in Motion is a story of passion and grace for anyone who has dared to dream of a different life.

Are you in need for your hot-guys-pretending-to-not-be-idols-but-are-really-idols fix via LDH DVDs? Are you waiting in anticipation for the next FEMM physical copy release? Well too bad, avex doesn't want your dirty gaijin money.

It has been initially reported that CDJapan (A popular site for buying Japanese physical CD/DVD copies overseas) sent an e-mail to their customers that Avex Pictures has placed an export ban on Blu-Rays, DVDs, and CDs. However, it is later revealed that this ban applies to anything that falls under Avex Group and its subsidaries (e.g., Avex Trax, Avex Pictures, Idol Street, etc). The ban will be enforced starting 6:00PM (Japan Time UTC+9) on Feburary 15th, 2017. Popular sites for international fans such as CDJapan and Amazon.jp promised to fulfill as many orders as possible before the deadline. However, it should be noted that some products affected by this export ban are already unavailable for shipping, so even if you try to buy something now, there is a chance that it's already too late. Avex has yet to comment regarding their decision to enforce this export ban.

Screenshots containing the e-mail, customer service response, and blocked attempts at ordering an Avex product can be found at the source.

Adele’s George Michael Tribute Almost Featured Beyoncé, Rihanna

Grammy executive producer Ken Ehrlich (the man Frank Ocean addressed his letter too) told Billboard the plans was to have them perform a mashup of Michael's hits. The idea, pitched by Michael’s manager Michael Lippman, was scrapped when it became clear “how passionate Adele was,” Ehrlich said. “She had a vision for what she wanted to do with it.”

Adele reportedly worked with Michael’s lawyers on the tribute’s visuals. Backstage at the Grammys, Adele said that Michael's family wanted it specifically to be her who did the tribute + no one else, “they came back and were very specific that it be me.” She also discussed her love for Michael:
“I found him to be one of the truest icons, because a lot of the time, with people who are at that globally known and famous, there tends to be… not a fakeness in a bad way, but they put on this massive bravado and alter-ego to protect themselves. And he was very British. No matter where his career or love life took him, he always remained true to Britain and they gave him a hard fucking time a lot of the time, but he still stayed loyal until the very end. ... I relate to that—no matter how much I try to escape Britain sometimes, my roots are there. I took great comfort in him—and the bigger my career got, in trying to remain myself. It was an honor to do it tonight.”

Grammy Snub Saga feat. Sufjan Stevens, Solange & the Recording Academy

The Academy held a meeting to discuss Beyonce "gaming the system" by dipping into many genres. This was published in a New York Times article.

"According to a senior music executive who attended the meeting, and spoke on the condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to discuss the internal deliberations, there was a “very spirited debate that took maybe five minutes” and included several voters’ suspicions that by recording a rock song and a country song (“Daddy Lessons”) on her album “Lemonade"






His comments in the interview:

Q : “Do you think the Grammys has a race problem?”

A: “No, I don’t think there’s a race problem at all.”

"We don’t, as musicians, in my humble opinion, listen to music based on gender or race or ethnicity. When you go to vote on a piece of music—at least the way that I approach it—is you almost put a blindfold on and you listen. It’s a matter of what you react to and what in your mind as a professional really rises to the highest level of excellence in any given year. And that is going to be very subjective. That’s what we ask our members to do, even in the ballots. We ask that they not pay attention to sales and marketing and popularity and charts. You have to listen to the music. So of the 14,000 voters, they listen, they make up their minds, and then they vote.

Now here’s the other interesting part of the process, and we stand 100 percent behind the process: It’s a democratic vote by majority. So somebody could either receive or not receive a Grammy based on one vote. It could be that tight."

On Chance The Rapper: To your earlier question about a racial problem. The album, record, song and best new artist categories are ones that the entire voting membership is entitled to vote on. You don’t get Chance the Rapper as the Best New Artist of the year if you have a membership that isn’t diverse and isn’t open-minded and isn’t really listening to the music, and not really considering other elements beyond how great the music is.

On Kanye's absence this year: "Kanye, as you know, had some medical concerns and situations,"..."We had dialog with him about actually performing. At the end of the day, what we had heard was he just wasn't in a place where he felt comfortable doing that. That’s completely understandable."















“Friendly reminder: don’t be racist,” he wrote on his website, before posing the following dialogue:

Q: WTF is “Urban Contemporary”?
A: It’s where the white man puts the incomparable pregnant black woman because he is so threatened by her talent, power, persuasion and potential.

ONTD Original: 4 Manga That Should Not Exist

ppRP.png





Hey y'all! While I'm working on my magnus opus Industry Plants (for my bae fka) and my K-pop recap, I wanted to post my highly subjective list of manga/animes that should not have been made. God did not intend for his children to use their gifts in such a way. These ain't mangas that are ugly, nor are they necessarily horrible but these the books with such awful premises that it makes you wonder if the writer was smoking crack when they came up with it. Shit you don't understand why anyone would read. These books could have the best storylines ever but were so poorly executed that no one would read it.

This list is entirely subjective, so y'all might find these worth reading. I didn't. That's why they're here.


pphz.jpgKoi Kaze

This anime is about a 27 year man who lives at home with his father. After suffering an awful breakup he meets a 15 year old girl who's also going through a breakup. The pair decide to go to an amusement park together where they fall in love. If that doesn't sound messy in and of itself, then this w
ill get you: the pair then find out that they are siblings. The girl moves in with her father and brother. That doesn't deter them from starting a relationship. The manga is about with how the deal with the stigama of getting together and whether or not it's worth it, so I guess there's some merit if you want to read about a pedophile other brother struggle with his feeling for his younger sister, and vice versa.













Kore Wa Koi No Hanashi
ppFC.jpg
Here's another story with a wild ass age gap. Kore Wa Koi No Hanashi is about an 31 year old writer and is budding relationship with a girl 21 years his junior (y'all can do the math). The manga, which spans thru the girl's middle school and high school years, has 11 volumes with 42 chapters. It also has good reviews but I just have a hard time believing that anyone would subject themselves to this. I'm not about to google whether or not the couple had a kiss scene because I don't wanna be taken down for child porn in Trump's America.
















ppf0.jpgHouou Gakuen Misoragumi

This manga is about a young lesbian who resents men. Ha mother can't stand for that since she wants some grandchildren so she sends her daughter to an all boys school so she can find some good dick to get over that silly lesbian phase. And she does! Houou Gaken Misoragumi plays the 'lesbians need that one dick' trope straight, and the mangaka here agrees with what the mother's doing to her daughter. This particular manga was so hated that the print release of the book was canceled! I wouldn't bother reading this unless you'd want to be set back a hundred years.
















Transformers Kiss Players

Everyone has heard of Transformers. It's a pretty big and well established franchacise with multiple movies, anime, games, and comicbooks to it's name. What people don't know of is Transformers Kiss Players, a manga where the Autobots need to be kiss and bond to teenage girls to work. That's kinda skeevy but it's not the absolute worst thing that's been made. Instead,Transformers fans found out that "the manga scans depicted characters being swallowed whole and alive, blatantly suggestive scenes (such as the Legions' infamous "penis-tongues" and the endless stream of implied-rape imagery), and late teenagers/young adults appearing to be eight years old (no this isn't an art style quirk)." I'm not even gonna bother to post a picture of this shit, imagine sitting in a jail cell trying to explain to your lawyer why you have robot kiddie porn on your hard drive.





ONTD, what are some anime and manga that don't deserve to exist?

Philip Pullman Announces A Follow-Up Trilogy To 'His Dark Materials'

Image and video hosting by TinyPic

After 17 years, Philip Pullman has announced a companion series to the His Dark Materials trilogy, with the first book, The Book of Dust, set for publication on October 19.

The original trilogy (The Golden Compass, The Subtle Knife, and The Amber Spyglass) was published between 1995 and 2000. It was translated into 40 languages and sold over 17.5 million copies.

The new series will take place in the same world as the original trilogy and will include many of the same characters. The first book will take part several years before the original trilogy, and the second and third books will take place after. Pullman insists this isn't a continuation of the original story though, but a companion series.

Loads more information about it at the source.
