Adam West, formerly Adam Armstrong, the college student from Manchester, England who legally changed his name because it was cheaper than paying an airline fee.

Ryanair is the Spirit Airlines of the UK and they charge for absolutely every little goddamn thing. If you’re ever in an emergency situation on Ryanair and you need the oxygen mask to drop, it’ll probably only drop after you swipe your credit card and agree to pay the £50 fee. Their ticket prices are cheaper but they get your ass by adding a charge for everything. Adam Armstrong was sick of Ryanair’s extra fees, so he came up with a way to get out of giving them more money.

Adam Armstrong tells The Sun (because this truly is news) that his girlfriend’s stepdad accidentally booked him as “Adam West” when buying his ticket from Ryanair. “Adam West” is what Adam Armstrong called himself on Facebook as a joke, because you know, Batman. Since the name on the ticket has to match the name on the passport, Adam wasn’t going to be able to use the ticket. So he called Ryanair to change the name on the ticket from “Adam West” to his government name “Adam Armstrong.” My sister has actually been in that situation before. She typed the wrong name on a ticket order (don’t ask) and the airline wouldn’t even change the name for a fee. She had to buy a whole new ticket. Ryanair agreed to change the name on Adam’s ticket, but of course, they agreed to do it for a fee and they wanted to double that fee since his girlfriend was on the same booking. The fee was £220. Ryanair does not fuck around when it comes to fucking you hard with their extra fees.

Adam shat on that and after doing a little research, he found out that it’s cheaper to legally change his name and get a new passport than pay the extra fee. The Daily Mail says that Adam was able to legally change his name to “Adam West” by deed poll for free. To get a new passport, he had to pay £103, which was less than Ryanair’s name change fee. Dude really showed them! Ryanair squirted out a statement about this and they don’t say this in the statement, but I’m sure they’ll charge Adam West a “statement fee” for having to make this statement:

Customers are asked to ensure that the details they enter at the time of booking are correct before completing their booking and we offer a 24 hour ‘grace period’ to correct minor booking errors. A name change fee is charged in order to discourage and prevent unauthorized online travel agents from ‘screenscraping’ Ryanair’s cheapest fares and reselling them on to unwitting consumers at hugely inflated costs.

Sure, Adam could’ve just bought a new ticket, but then he’d be giving Ryanair more money and he wouldn’t have a story to tell The Sun and more importantly, he wouldn’t share a name with Batman.

Because Nabisco is probably in cahoots with the makers of Insulin, a thing called “Brownie Batter Oreos” may be available to make an appearance in our eating holes and stomach bags sometime soon. Last month, The A.V. Club was at something called the Sweet and Snacks expo (I want to go to there) in Chicago where they spotted and took a picture of a stoner wonderland wrapped in heaven. They took a picture of Oreo’s newest flavor: Brownie Batter! That gushy sound you hear is Kirstie Alley churning out ten gallons of panty pudding while thinking about Brownie Batter Oreos as she writes a break-up letter to Organic Liasons.

The Impulsive Buy says that Brownie Batter Oreos are a real thing and it looks like they really will be sold in stores. But they’re probably going to be limited-edition like S’mores, Cotton Candy, Watermelon, Strawberry Milkshake, Root Beer Float, Pineapple Jizz and Red Velvet Oreos. I made up Pineapple Jizz Oreos, but I’m sure it’s coming soon (punned on purpose).

You know, I don’t know about those Brownie Batter Oreos. I should be licking the screen, but I’m not. I consider myself a purist, so I prefer to eat brownie batter out of a bowl with my bare hands while bawling in the corner of my darkened bedroom over the state of my life. That stupid Oreo cookie will just get in the way of me doing that.

Well, this is sad. Victoria Siegel, the 18-year-old daughter of world renowned gold digger Jackie Siegel and Westgate Resorts founder David Siegel, was found unresponsive in her home yesterday. WFTV Orlando says that Victoria was taken to the hospital where she was pronounced dead.

Deputies were called to the Siegel mansion on Green Island Cove in Windermere, FL at around 2 on Saturday afternoon after a housekeeper found Victoria unconscious. Deputies performed CPR on her and later took her to the hospital. The doctors at Health Central Hospital later pronounced her dead. ClickOrlando reported earlier that they believe Victoria died of a suspected overdose, but they later deleted that. Investigators are working with the Medical Examiner to determine Victoria’s official cause of death.

Victoria Siegel was in The Queen of Versailles, the really entertaining documentary about how her parents are trying to build the country’s largest (and gaudiest) single family home in Florida. Last week, Jackie, David and their 8 kids were on an episode of Wife Swap where she traded places with Jeremy London’s wife. Jackie confirmed the sad news and said this on Facebook:

It is with great sadness that we ask you to respect our privacy during this tragic time and the loss of our beloved daughter, Victoria. Thank you all for your prayers and for your support. As more information comes out the family will share it, until that time there is no comment.

One time while I was at LAX, I watched a dude in lime green CROCs and what looked like Affliction shorts hug and kiss on his piece who was wearing hot pink UGGs. It was one of the most unholiest things I’ve ever seen (and that’s saying a lot since I watch a lot of reality TV) and I almost missed my flight on purpose so that I could run to the nearest church and dip my eyeballs in holy water. Well, that unholy scene that happened on the grounds of LAX has now been wiped clean, along with every sin committed there, thanks to God’s earth ambassador Dame St. Angie Jolie and the child army blessing that airport with their holy presence yesterday. LAX is now clean! Oh, yeah and Brad Pitt also tagged along while looking like he was about to pull out a guitar and sing Skynyrd songs for loose change.

Dame St. Angie Jolie, Brad and their child army flew from LAX to Paris and Paris to Nice. The Daily Mail has pictures of the holy family taking their seats in coach on the short flight from Paris to Nice. Yes, coach! If you have ever rolled your eyes at me when I called Angie Jolie a saint, you will never roll them again, because she obviously is. I mean, sitting in coach? The saint of all saints.

In other Dame Saint news, Angie Jolie talked to actor Domhnall Gleeson, whom she directed in Unbroken, for Interview Magazine. Domhnall is in the new Star Wars movie and St. Angie tells him that even though he’s in a Star Wars movie, his future kids will never think he’s cool.

JOLIE: You still won’t be cool to your children no matter what you do. But the Star Wars movies always have these beautiful messages and they are quite profound. And you will have this thing where, wherever you go in the world, you will be an artist and familiar to them.

Wait, so is St. Angie saying that her kids think she’s kind of uncool? Jennifer Aniston’s impact!
