Beautiful Blend: Ms. Stephanie Cook

Stephanie is a 23-year-old Hollywood model, with a background that is Irish, English, Puerto Rican, and Dominican.



God obviously mixed powdered sugar with a lot of milk and vanilla to create her.



As for me, I wouldn't mind making frosting for her cake (if you know what I'm saying).



As for you, press your nose up to the glass around her honeypot.

You're welcome.

Jurassic World

Universal announced that Jurassic Park 4 will be coming to you, but it would not be called Jurassic Park 4. Instead, it would be called Jurassic World.



It'd be out June 12, 2015. And, if you're wondering, Steven Spielberg will not be directing it, but he'll be producing it.



Alternatively, the film will be directed by Colin Trevorrow, who most recently directed Safety Not Guaranteed.



Personally, I'm a huge fan of the series, but right about now, I'm chronically cringing, probably because I don't think this series should be continued. For obvious reasons.

Battered Baddies: Instant Karma

There were a pair of teenagers that thought it'd be a good idea to hold two people up at gunpoint, in Charlottesville, Virginia. But, as it turns out, they attempted to rob two badasses who weren't down with that whole getting robbed thing, and when police showed up, the would-be-robbers looked like this:



On the left, Johnny Calderón Jr., looks like his sister tried to put makeup on him...



...and, Gerald Allen was given a permanent wink.



Normally, when you're being robbed, at gunpoint, 99% of the time, you should just give up your shit. If someone is stupid or desperate enough to rob you at gunpoint, that person's probably stupid or desperate enough to shoot you. But, this sweet short story is the only exception.

So, the principal point here is that would-be-robbers should switch up their game. You'll never know if you're going to try and rob the Karate Kid.

The Prying Eyes of the Nosy NSA

In recently released documents, the National Security Agency admitted that it "wrongly" put 16,000 phone numbers on the alert list, so that incoming calls could be monitored.



A judge has said that the "mistake" is a flagrant violation of the law.



Also, an attorney of the American Civil Liberties Union said:



God bless America!

Asshole of the Internet World

Today, I found a person on the interwebs, that didn't need context to try and publicly shame a man who was on his laptop, working on the floor, in a New York City train.



The headline for this picture is:



So, just a few things:

(1) That doesn't look like a crowded train to me. And,

(2) Taking pictures of people in public, without their knowledge, and then calling them assholes, is a magnanimously moronic move. So, scientifically speaking, you're a magnanimous moron. It's science, you can't argue with that.

But, what's even better, is that the guy who was on the train...



...responded to the moron, and he provided context to the moron, in a much more polite manner than I would have, saying:



And there you have context!

Eventually, the moron who posted the picture, responded to the guy in the picture, saying:



Blah, blah, blah...

And that's why, my friends, the person that took the picture in question, is a major moron. That's it. Quite frankly, it's not the moron's fault, most morons are also super stupid assholes. Unsurprisingly, they don't realise that other people (in the world) have lots and lots and lots of responsibilities.

Transformers 4

This is the fourth installment of the live-action Transformers film series. It's called Transformers: Age of Extinction, and it's covered in sand!



It'd be released June 27, 2014. I'll be leaving my iron helmet on till then. Can't wait to reestablish connection with Optimus Prime.

The Assad Agenda

There was the news that Syrian president Assad said he'll give away all of his country's chemical weapons.



Personally, I thought that it'd be super easy. Turns out it's not. Matter of fact, it has become a conversation of:

(1) Is he really going to give out all the weapons?

(2) Where are the weapons?

(3) Will the people who are getting the weapons be safe?

(4) Is Assad and/or his regime open to pinky promising that they'll totally do it?

(5) How would these things be destroyed?



Basically, everything's being talked about. Proportionately, this is a big battle of truth. So, who's telling the truth? Also, let's remember that it wasn't just this one chemical strike, but over one hundred thousand people have died during this conflict. And, it's in that number of one hundred thousand that I found something seemingly interesting (thanks to the UN), because a UN probe revealed that eight massacres were perpetrated by the Syrian government...



...with one other massacre being credited towards the rebels.



Additionally, the Committee of Independent Experts say that this isn't quite everything; that they are actually looking into nine other massacres right now.

There's also an untold number of men, women, and children who have just disappeared. I only wish that these people are held accountable for what they're doing.

All in all, with things advancing, it'd be very interesting to see how things progress, with possibly disposing of these weapons (if that's actually a possibility).

Trigger-Happy Kids and the Media's Misconceptions

In grotesque gun news, an 8-year-old picked up a handgun (in a house), and shot his grandmother in the face, minutes after playing Grand Theft Auto IV.



Unsurprisingly, TV media has been looking for a sexy angle. Here's CNN's take on it:



Also, here's what FOX NEWS had to say:



Nobody's even asking how the 8-year-old child got the hold of a handgun. A lot of headlines to this story are saying "8-year-old Shoots Grandma After Playing a Video Game". Rationally, the headline should say "8-year-old Child Kills Grandma After Somehow Getting Ahold of a Gun". How about we argue that angle. Because, that's the issue here: unsupervised access to firearms for a minor less than 9-years-old.

What gets me, is that every time a kid accidentally shoots someone or even himself, the media is quick to tender thrash that the child was probably playing violent video games. It's all too typical. Nonetheless, I played Grand Theft Auto whenever I had to. Still do. It's one of my favourite games. I killed hookers and cops, but I never translated to the real world.

My main message to CNN and the likes of it, is that they should stick to getting the news wrong about the #BostonBombing because they wanted to be the "first" to broadcast about how Kim Kardashian's baby bump would affect the world. In the meantime, I'd be scouring the entire Internet for all the info I can get concerning GTA V.

Yahoo! Tops Google?!



Yahoo! beat Google in US internet traffic, for the first time in 5 years! This is based off the comScore for July, 2013, and I can barely believe it.



Proportionately, some saying it could be related to Yahoo! acquiring Tumblr, but those Tumblr views are not being counted as Yahoo! views. Tumblr is still separate on this list.

Scratch what I typed about barely believing, virtually anything's possible. Either way, this could be the beginning of something (maybe) Google didn't see. Or, it could be just a slow fluctuation, I don't know. But, what I do know, is that you can't stay at the top forever.
