It's surprisingly rough being a mascot these days. Sure, they're the awesome side entertainment at sporting events, but that puts a heck of a lot of pressure on them. Think about it-- mascots are constantly forced to cartwheel on ledges, do backflips in front of thousands of people and just be downright stupid. It can be awful, especially when things go wrong. Cue: mascot fails.
There's so much hoopla surrounding 'Les Miserables' recently, and rightly so -- the film is a new level of spectacular. It's basically about the French Revolution, there are good and bad people and it's awesome. If you take it down a few thousand notches, it's sort of like the movie 'Mean Girls,' minus the revolution. Sort of. You know-- the one where Regina George is the queen of the coolest high school clique, and Lindsay Lohan's character tries to sabotage her?
There's no doubt dogs are flippin' adorable no matter what sort of clothing we put on them. Tutus, 'Star Wars' costumes-- it's all fair game. Unfortunately, it can be a dog eat dog world out there, and sometimes a pup's gotta be tough. Cue: dogs in hoodies.
Listen up everyone-- grab the tissues and prepare to shed a few tears. The beloved blog Regretsy is going to be kaput very, very soon. Founder April Winchell recently announced that after three-and-a-half years, the DIY meets WTF site will be turned into one big archive on February 1st. Readers can still leave comments and browse through past hilarious posts that poke fun at crafting, but Winchell will no longer be making snarky observations about regretful Etsy products.
How is it possible dogs come up with ways to be more flippin' adorable every single day?! It's sort of ridiculous to be honest. Not that we're complaining or anything, but the furballs are just so darn cute, it's grounds for a little suspicion.
It seems like Darth Vader's turned a positive corner recently. He's become part of the Disney family after all, so maybe the whole hanging out with princesses thing is turning him into a softie. Or maybe he just got a bad rep all these years. Whatever the case, it doesn't seem like the Dark Lord is all that bad. Why? Well, these kiddos are proof.
Is it just us, or does it seem like sloths are getting more popular lately? Baby versions, ones with Skrillex hair-- you name it, it's out there. They've been around for thousands and thousands of years, but maybe it's one of those things where people are just now understanding the little guys. Whatever the case, there are zero complaints on our end since they're so ridiculously cute.
It takes a certain breed of human (or animal for that matter) to perfect the almighty photobomb. The creepy expression, the ideal timing-- it takes a lot of talent. Some jokesters can spend years practicing these techniques, but others are just naturals (like babies). So who's the most recent addition to the photobomber talent list? Celebrities.
With flu season slowing taking down everyone you know, it's safe to say you'll be making a trip to the doctor's office pretty soon. No one likes going to the doctor-- it's one of those things we just have to buckle down and do, despite wanting to drag our feet and pout like a two-year-old.
