The Dumbest Controversy: Planned Parenthood

This summer, videos were released proving once and for all that Planned Parenthood, a government funded organization sells baby parts. Well, kind of. Turns out the videos were too heavily doctored to prove anything. And Planned Parenthood isn't actually government funded, they just give Medicaid reimbursements like any other doctor's office. Oh and they aren't aren't selling or profiting off anything either...


Best Bitchface Award: Hillary Clinton at the Bazillionth Benghazi Hearing

3 years later and we're still arguing the Republicans are still desperate to find a way to pin it on Hillary Clinton. No, literally, the same man who formed the "Benghazi Special Committee" is proudly admitting that it was all a plan to drop her approval ratings. We've spent more money investigating Benghazi than 9/11 and the Oklahoma City Bombings combined.

You think it'd be obvious, but people keep dying while politicians keep making excuses.



And finally...

The Controversy Most Likely to Ruin Friendships Forever Award: The Dress

Within a week of its inception, this low quality, badly lit photo, quite literally destroyed the internet. 10 million tweeted, celebrities feuded, neuroscientists commented. For days you could walk into any crowded room and yell "What color is that dress?" and be guaranteed a chorus of responses, followed by arguing, and then screaming, and then everyone would just fall into a state of silent existential crisis.

All over one question: #blackandblue or #whiteandgold?

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Tamatoa created a liar filled with shiny things simply for the purpose of tricking fish to enter and become his food. He too experiences a lesson in how easy it is to be tricked by shiny things when Moana distracts him by covering herself in glowing algae so Maui can grab his hook.
