- Because #college. A 19-year-old Texas A&M University
student didn’t really tread any new ground or reflect too well on herself, but
she definitely had a true live-and-learn college moment this week when she
decided to mix underage drinking, reckless driving, social media and outright
stupidity. It all began for Miranda Rader when she got into her car with an
open bottle of wine in a cup holder next to her and based on her actions, she
probably consumed some of that wine before what came next. While driving in
Bryan, Texas, near the A&M campus about 100 miles northwest of Houston, a
possibly intoxicated Rader busted out her phone and decided that driving while
(probably) impaired was a perfect time to take a selfie. But not just any
selfie - a topless one. Of course. If you’re going to get liquored up, risk
your life and the lives of others and do it in the name of social media glory,
you need to show some skin. Unfortunatley for Rader, being (allegedly) under
the influence of alcohol, trying to take a topless photo and driving is a tough
threesome to manage and thus, she slammed into the rear of a stopped police car
and was arrested. It was a very literal crash and burn that made the job easy
for the Bryan Police Department. The officer who approached Rader’s car got a
nice view as when he approached her vehicle, she was trying to put on her
blouse. Oh, the fun that must have ensued when Rader called home to explain all
of this to her proud parents………
- Sometimes, the rage of MMA cannot be contained inside the
cage. Whether what went down this week in the Milwaukee driveway of mixed
martial arts fighters Anthony and Sergio Pettis is tied to their UFC careers is
unclear, but what police do know is that three vehicles were burned in that
driveway and Authorities are investigating after . The fires happened early
Thursday morning. Milwaukee police say it appears accelerant was used to set
two vehicles on fire, and the fire spread to a third vehicle in the driveway. In
the aftermath of the vehicular arson, Anthony Pettis said he was glad no one
was hurt and promised he would do everything he could to find out who is responsible
and have them prosecuted. "I am a fighter. I won't be defeated by
this," he said. His brother Sergio asked the Milwaukee community to come
together and stop the violence and in the midst of all of this chaos, Anthony
Pettis is scheduled to face Max Holloway in UFC 206 in Toronto in December. UFC
is about as violent a sport as there is and Milwaukee isn't typically known as
one of America’s more violent cities, but this is a rare exception to that
rule. At least this time the carnage was limited to three cars and no lives
were lost or irrevocably harmed, but the brothers Pettis seem to be taking this
as a call to make a positive impact in their community………
- Riot Watch! Riot Watch! The other Korea, the one not ruled
by a megalomaniacal, diminutive despot who stifles the opposition and refuses
to allow his people to know what’s actually going on in the world outside their
borders, but the democratic one - South Korea. That’s where thousands of
citizens took to the streets of the capital, Seoul, calling for increasingly
unpopular President Park Geun-hye to step down over allegations that she let an
old friend, the daughter of a religious cult leader, interfere in important
state affairs. Involving cult leaders in government matters isn't typically a
good idea and Park ordered 10 of her senior secretaries to resign over the scandal,
but can’t seem to evade her rising lame duck status ahead of next year's
election. South Korea isn’t a violent, riotous type of society, so the protest
was largely tame, with demonstrators holding candles and signs reading
"Who's the real president?" and "Park Geun-hye step down," all
while marching through downtown Seoul after holding a candlelight vigil near
City Hall. Police estimated that about 9,000 people turned out for the biggest
anti-government demonstration in Seoul in months and various leaders took to
the stage to address the crowd. "Park has lost her authority as president
and showed she doesn't have the basic qualities to govern a country,"
Jae-myung Lee, from the opposition Minjoo Party and the mayor of the city of
Seongnam, told the protesters from a stage. Calls persist for Park to reshuffle
her office and Cabinet after admitting that she provided longtime friend Choi
Soon-sil drafts of her speeches for editing. A televised apology did little to
assuage the rage and she remains under fire for a heavy-handed leadership style
that many see as lacking in transparency. Mix in speculation that Choi meddled
in government decisions on personnel and policy and exploited her ties with
Park to misappropriate funds from nonprofit organizations and it would seem
that this whole mess is only going to grow uglier, nastier and more embarrassing
from here……..
- Low blow, Drake. You can take a run at Meek Mill because Meek
Mill was happy to start a fight with you even though he was claearly fighting out
of his weight class. But firing unprovoked shots at Kid Cudi, who checked
himself into rehab earlier this month for ‘depression and suicidal urges,’ that’s
just not cool. Yet the most famous fan of the loser of last year’s NBA Eastern
Conference finals - hooray for second-best, eh Toronto Raptors? - decided
recently to mock Cudi in a new song, ‘Two Birds, One Stone’, rapping: “You were
the man on the moon / Now you just go through your phases / Life of the angry
and famous.” It was a track Cudi fans rightly took as an insult in very poor
taste. Drake hasn’t said much since then and Cudi has limited his social media
activity during his time in rehab, so this hasn’t blown up much - until now.
Kid Cudi took to Twitter to send Drake a message: “Say it to [my] face, pussy,”
Cudi wrote. “You think it’s a game. I wanna see you say it to my face. I’ll be
out soon. Promise.” He went on to thank his fans for the “unfathomable” love
he’s received since he revealed his mental health problems and in all honesty,
this is one Drake needs to let go. He’s not going to go to rehab and talk junk
to a guy dealing with depression and suicidal thoughts and keeping this one
going just makes him look bad. Go back to pounding Meek Mill because while it’s
depressing to see that one-sided fight, at least the Mill isn't dealing with
serious mental health issues………
