A vagrant doesn’t seem like someone you should fear at all. Unkempt hair, dirty clothes, a Duck Dynasty-esque beard, a look of tiredness in the face, none of these are traits that typically sound off alarms in a person’s brain. And yet, Dwight, the protagonist of Blue Ruin displays all of these traits … and he should be feared. Why?
Because he has revenge on his mind, and his revenge won’t go undone. Continue reading MasterChugs Theater: ‘Blue Ruin’
If you’ve been drinking diet soda for a long time (as in, the “diet” part still hasn’t worked after all these years), it could be because you’re one of the people who can now process artificial sweeteners like regular sugar. And not only can you digest them, but they may be actually worse for you, increasing your likelihood of gaining weight or developing type 2 diabetes.
So, who’s to blame?
It turns out that artificial sweeteners would have worked if it weren’t for bacteria in our biomes. Aspartame, sucralose and saccharine should have been undigestible — merely sweetening our beverages in our mouths before moving on directly to Toilet Town. But now certain ones can use artificial sweeteners to raise blood sugar levels two- to fourfold.
And, yes, we know that — technically — bacteria aren’t animals. But we aren’t winning the War on Animals by being discerning now, are we, eggheads?
People are dumb. It’s true! Not our audience, of course, but everyone else? Just a pack of dumbos. You can’t trust them. But we can’t let them rule the world. The only logical thing to do is hope they observe the right thing to do, correct? Nope. If we don’t like something, we have to show others that it’s bad.
The guys are thoroughly against partnering citrus fruits with dessert, so we definitely do not agree with the KFC lemon cake. Neither did one man in Seattle. Apparently upset with the item, he walked into a local KFC, threw the item at employees and then vacated the premises. Not that effective, right?
Wrong. The KFC in question can no longer sell the dessert. Now that’s change.
The increasingly militaristic Russia is somehow becoming an even larger problem. Now, even its religious leaders are arming themselves. Heavily.
Patriarch Kirill, the head of the Russian Orthodox Church, was given a fighter jet during a tour of a factory in Russia. Who knew that their Christmas was this early? What’s worse, the entire church apparently has ties with President Vladimir Putin. The good news is that the Catholic Church has twice the leaders, so Pope Francis will have a wingman when he gets his own fighter jet.
