Jake Paul Snatched Floyd Mayweather’s Hat Triggering A Brawl At His Brother Logan Paul’s Press Event
26-year-old YouTube douche-bro, Logan Paul, is set to fight 44-year-old actual boxer and undefeated champion, Floyd Mayweather, on June 6. Clearly, such an activity is a profit-driven publicity stunt, because who the shit wants to see that in any sort of real fighting-quality comparison? And so when there was a press event about it, shit got messy. How messy? Well, 24-year-old Jake Paul was there too and so that compounds the Paul-family chaos, and since he’s the younger brother he has even less impulse-control than Logan and he went ahead and snatched Floyd’s hat off his head at one point, triggering a brawl. At least that’s what these stunt queens want us to think. I smell a stunt, a plot, a ruse, and a charade. And with a large dash of doucheness.
Open Post: Hosted By The Amber Alert For Chucky And His Son, Glen
Typically an Amber Alert scares the hell out of you by shaking you awake and out of a hot sex dream at 2:56 a.m. on a workday, hours before you have to actually get up. You try to get your heart rate back down, curse the premature ending of your vivid fuck moments with a cute co-worker in the supply room next to the case of Post-It Notes, and maybe even think some stressed but good thoughts for the missing child and their terrified family. That’s how it usually goes.
On Friday, some Texas residents were faced with a different kind of terror surrounding an Amber Alert, for Chucky, the alleged dollnapper, and Glen, the abductee. Three alerts, in fact.
Open Post: Hosted By Sexy Valentine’s Day Kraft Dinner
Kraft is looking to get sexy this Valentine’s Day and is running a new Kraft Mac Is For Lovers campaign, which has me thinking, “The fuck?” Kraft’s new Big Bowl mac and cheese is apparently the perfect Valentine’s Day meal for couples with children they want to quickly feed and put to bed so they can hump each other in their locked bedrooms down the hall.
Peloton May Pull That Ad After Their Stock Dropped
That Peloton commercial , which is so fucking cringe it gave me a neck spasm, is still being filleted online. So much so that now the company is reportedly thinking of pulling the commercial completely over claims that it’s sexist and creepy. And they have good reason to pull it, aside from getting shit on by Twitter. Apparently, Peloton has lost millions in value over it.
“Jesus Shoes” That Were Meant As A Joke And Cost $1425 Sold Out In Minutes
In People-Really-Will-Buy-Anything News, a shoe created to mock “collab culture” which cost almost $1,425 sold out in minutes. Yes: the design company MSCHF decided to make a statement and gag the public, and instead they got gagged themselves by sort of accidentally making a huge monetary success out of a prank. Enter: the highly expensive “Jesus Shoes”.
The Video Of Joaquin Phoenix Flipping Out On “Joker’s” Cinematographer Was A Prank
During Joaquin Phoenix’s appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live! last week, Jimmy Kimmel played an outtake shot during filming of Joker, in which serious actor Joaquin tears a verbal strip off “Larry,” the film’s cinematographer. Jimmy said the clip came from Joker director Todd Phillips. In the clip, Joaquin condescendingly accused Larry (aka Lawrence Sher) of constantly whispering during takes, and nicknaming a diva-ish Joaquin “Cher.” If you watched that video and felt like it was written, directed, and produced by a company called Viral Celebrity Tantrums Inc., you’d be correct. Larry spilled the beans to Business Insider, saying it was a prank.
