Thanks to a mugshot from three years ago, Meagan Simmons became an internet star late last week.
A Reddit user noticed that Simmons, then named Meagan McCullough, looked unusually good in the booking photo that was taken after her arrest for reckless driving in 2010. So they made it into an advice animal meme, with the caption "Wanted...in 50 states."
It all started with Zeddie Little, who remained ridiculously photogenic while running a marathon. Since then we've met the ridiculously photogenic surgery girl, the ridiculously photogenic jui jitsu guy and a host of others who have maintained their photo-ready best in less than ideal circumstance.
Earlier this year the internet brought something very important about goats to our attention. When the can-eating animals scream they sound an awful lot like a person who has either witnessed a great horror or suffered a devastating injury.
Barbie can't help but looking perfect. She's manufactured that way.
But what if the doll that has been setting unrealistically high beauty standards for girls since 1959 was a real person? (Yes, this is has been tried before by human Barbie impersonators, but that's not where we're going here.)
It's becoming harder and harder to pull a good April Fool's Day prank. We blame the internet for this, as not long after you log on you are reminded of the tricky nature of April 1 and thus put your guard up.
A food specialty store in Australia is sick of folks "just looking" at their merchandise without buying anything. So, starting last month, Celiac Supplies instituted a policy in which shoppers pay a five dollar door fee, which will then be deducted from any purchase.
Until yesterday, the Broadway production of the Truman Capote classic 'Breakfast At Tiffany's' had been notable for starring 'Game of Thrones' mother of dragons Emilia Clarke in the Holly Golightly role. But now it's an animal actor who's getting all the ink.
Men doing foolish things to impress women has been a common thread throughout history. But, for today, we can call Jeffrey Tyler Siegel the king of the fools.
Last year a man from England named Bart Simpson was arrested for having a firearm in an airport. Simpson is 56, so you can't blame his parents for giving him the kind of name that would result in ridicule and, eventually, a life of crime. ('The Simpsons' has been on for that long. It only seems like it.)
It was just fate that he ended up with the same name as a cartoon troublemaker. And when his trial began earlier this month fate struck again. Bart Simpson would be facing a judge named Mr. Burns.
