With the late and great Philip Seymour Hoffman passing away, all of a sudden EVERYONE is a fan of his work. My Facebook feed is flooded with people posting up long sonnets about how he truly was one of the greatest actors of his generation. The whole situation is very reminiscent of when that drug addict Amy Winehouse – who was simply living on borrowed time – passed away. Or Whitney Houston, who I thought was dead a few years before her “untimely” passing away in 2012. It saddens me that we
Read MoreI would like to thank Brigham Young University-Idaho for the production of the following video. This inspirational anti-wanking PSA gives us all something to think about. The video begins with clips of a young man who is apparently “addicted to pornography” (and watches it in the most unnaturally relaxed manner). His roommates know, but really don’t seem to give a shit or find the need to step in, leaving him “spiritually wounded on the battlefield of a great war.” The video continues with a series of combat scenes, in which
Read MoreBreakdown of my time spent while the Super Bowl is on during any given year: 50% eating snacks, 40% seriously asking everyone who’ll listen why they don’t just have Beyonce perform for halftime every year, 9% watching the commercials, and 1% pretending to actually watch the game. For those of you who spend your time otherwise (I don’t understand why you would), here’s a recap of the best commercials worth looking up on YouTube. Arnold Schwarzenegger Plays Ping-Pong for Bud Light Seriously, watch this. Bud Light took a random
Read MoreAhh…the Super Bowl. If you’re anything like me, it’s a time for merriment, poor eating habits, a chance to see David Beckham running half-naked, and, best of all, a kickass halftime performance. Bruno Mars was the league’s pick for 2014 and yet, regardless of the artist’s proven talent and popularity, many critics questioned whether the fresh young performer was ready to live up to the likes of last year’s show brought to us by the amazing Queen Beyonce. After delivering a killer performance complete with drum solos, heartfelt messages from
Read MoreHappy Friday! Here’s more of the WTF news that makes us appreciate the wacky world in which we live… GERMAN COWS WITH EXPLODING FLATULENCE When I heard about this one earlier in the week I laughed like an immature 3rd grader. In the German town of Rasdorf, some dairy cows–who must have had something awful for dinner–needed to pass some gas. 90 cows let it rip, building up the levels of methane gas in the shed. According to a Reuters news agency, “a static electric charge caused the gas to
Read MoreDRIVER DIDN’T SEE CYCLIST IN WINDSHIELD Okay, this one just blows my mind. Poor Steven Gove was out on his paper route biking with all the reflective and flashing gear to keep him safe. However, that did not stop a driver from smashing into him, causing him to become lodged in the windshield. The driver did not say anything to Gove, and continued on his drive home. He proceeded to run a stop sign, hit another vehicle and then park his car. The driver finally noticed Gove and asked “Who
Read MoreWell hello Writtalin readers! Before I begin my first post I’d like to tell you a little about what you can expect from me on this site. There’s nothing that I enjoy more than reveling in the whatiswrongwithpeople news. It’s a big, big world out there and some people are very….unique. So, I’ve decided to take on the task of bringing you the outrageous, strange, good-for-you news that you might miss. Of course I’ll give my opinions, which hopefully you’ll find entertaining. If not, at least the story should make
Read MoreHold all the sequels, reboots and feature length pornos, there’s only one reason to get excited about going to the movies this year. And that reason still has a long way to go before it roundhouse kicks its way onto the silver screen. Last month, the internet got a taste of what may be the greatest ’80s cop movie of all time. Fans of kung fu action, dinosaurs, machinegun toting Vikings, time travel, explosions, arcade robots, Nazi butt-kicking, and gravelly cop voices drooled over the trailer for “Kung Fury,” director
Read MoreCaution: This article has the potential to piss a few people off. Many of you may have seen this article pop up on your Facebook newsfeed recently. Evidently a number of people are up in arms over the following update, which was recently posted on Cosmopolitan Magazine’s Facebook page: In light of all of the controversy, I’d like to take a minute to defend Cosmopolitan Magazine and tell you to calm TF down. To start, “plus-size” is an industry term. Models are grouped into two categories, “straight-size”
Read MoreApps come in all shapes and sizes, and most human beings stick with the usual collection: social media sites, games, music, and a small collection of actually useful tools which normally involve pretending to be an adult (“Stocks,” anyone?). There’s also that handful of apps that your friends have convinced you to download, claiming that they’ll change your life, but have since been exiled to that second page of apps that you always forget about. Cue Writtalin. These are the five apps that you may not have even known you
