Marissa Powell, Miss Utah USA, Fumbles Pageant Question On Income Inequality (VIDEO)
You're dressed to the nines. You're vying to become an icon of beauty and poise. The cameras are rolling and millions of people are waiting to hear your answer to this question about income inequality:
"A recent report shows that in 40 percent of American families with children, women are the primary earners yet they continue to earn less than men. What does this say about society?"Alas, when her big moment came during the 2013 Miss USA beauty pageant on Sunday night, Miss Utah USA Marissa Powell choked and gave a truly incoherent answer (see video above).
You can tell from Powell's face that she knew she blew it. But the denizens of the Internet were not about to let such a fantastic flub pass without comment.
Deadspin's Timothy Burke was particularly appalled by Powell's answer, and quoted the 1995 film "Billy Madison" to show his disdain:
"What you've just said is one of the most insanely idiotic things I have ever heard. At no point in your rambling, incoherent response were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought. Everyone in this room is now dumber for having listened to it. I award you no points, and may God have mercy on your soul."
(I think the music really makes it that much better)
2. You May Remember Me...
Sometimes, a special supercut comes along... and that time is now:
Here’s a supercut of every film you might remember Troy McClure from
3. Greed Is Good... Really Good
1st trailer is out for Wolf of Wall Street.. and where to begin? Obviously, when Scorcese and Dicaprio team up, you know good things are going to happen.. but this looks really good. Let's just say, I think FINALLY Matthew Mcconaughey has lived up to the rich promise he showed in Dazed & Confused. This immediatley vaulted onto my "must-see" list.
And while we're at it.. where can I get one of these T-shirts?

On the flip side though, when you pay someone 25c A DAY... you get what you pay for..

5. Tell Us How You Really Feel
Good news, Community fans.. in case you havent' heard, Dan Harmon is coming back next season. Even better news, he finally watched this past season and is lettin it all hang out. I for one thought there were some good episodes. Some mediocre ones, but the show also hit that sweet spot where it could take a nosedive for retreading over the same ground too many times, or continue its upward climb. Sadly, most shows take the nosedive.. we'll see if he can revive it next year.
Dan Harmon had some predictably harsh words for Community's fourth season
Shortly after his return to Community
was made officially official, Dan Harmon said that part of his prep for
returning to work would be to finally watch the fourth season—first
making the prospect sound like an exercise in morbid curiosity and/or self-torture, before more diplomatically promising not to “be a jerk about it”
to the writers he’d once worked so closely with. “The worst thing I can
do is fart in their direction at all,” Harmon said in his cautiously
optimistic youth of 10 days ago—a hopefulness that was slowly eroded, as
it was for so many, over the course of 13 episodes, judging by the
assessment he gave on this week’s Harmontown podcast:
but wait, there's more!
Still being sarcastic, if engaging in a far less healthy exercise, Harmon then added, “There's something awesome about having all of those preconceived notions ripped away from you. It's exciting. There's something exciting about being held down and watching your family get raped on a beach. It's liberating. It makes you focus on what's important.” Like rescuing your family, then getting their rapists to hire you back, we guess? Probably best to not explore this whole “rape” analogy too much. Suffice it to say, however, this isn't going on the DVD.
Ouch.
[UPDATE: He feels sorry now]
6. Better Not Bring Yo Kids
Great news, comedy fans. Dave Chapelle has finally found his marbles (at least some of them) and is heading back out on the road! And he's bringing some friends with him!
“I watched season four. I guess I already knew this, but apparently, I’m quite a genius … I think I feel pretty comfortable expressing any kind of 'Eh, not my cup of tea' about it because — this has been expressed a thousand times over — it's obviously not somebody doing what they do and trying very hard to make people happy. It is very much like an impression, and an unflattering one. It’s just 13 episodes of 'Oh, I’m Dan Harmon! Derpy, derpy, durr! Die Hard! Durrrrr!' I feel like I'm going back to work tomorrow morning, and I just feel like, 'Do I talk like that?'…. Man, watching those characters without me there is just not fuckin' cool, man. It's like flipping through Instagrams and watching your girlfriend just blow a million [other guys]”
but wait, there's more!

Chappelle Will Lead Comedy Tour
By JASON ZINOMAN
RICHMOND,
Va. — In a packed theater here on Saturday, Dave Chappelle introduced a
comedy bit by explaining that there was a time when he didn’t want to
return to the public eye. “I didn’t want to do comedy,” he said,
explaining that he wasn’t sure he had something to say. That’s certainly
changed.
After years of dropping by clubs for surprise sets and occasionally playing theaters, Mr. Chappelle is returning to the spotlight in the Oddball Comedy & Curiosity Festival, a tour produced by FunnyorDie.com that will feature Mr. Chappelle, Flight of the Conchords, Hannibal Buress, Demetri Martin and Kristen Schaal, among others. The monthlong tour, which includes a second stage hosted by the comic Brody Stevens, begins in Austin, Tex., on Aug. 23 and will make stops in New Jersey at the Susquehanna Bank Center on Sept. 6 and the PNC Bank Arts Center on Sept. 7.
Almost since he left his Comedy Central hit “Chappelle’s Show” in 2005, his return has been rumored, heating up in the past year since he appeared with Chris Rock at the Comedy Cellar in New York. Mr. Chappelle is now touring the South playing to sold-out audiences. At a show in March, his performance was freewheeling with extended exchanges with the crowd. This past weekend his two sets still had that same spontaneity, but the jokes had tightened, and the transitions were quicker. Wearing a tank top and roaming around the stage in a quickening pace, he had the look of a man getting ready.
What friends you ask??

Though really.. isn't it always trending?
The latest girl-power trend? Getting naked in front of the camera for a sexy group photo shoot

As part of their bachelorette bash, brides-to-be Amy Blair (center) and Jennie Richards (far right) pose provocatively with their sisters Shelly Blair (from left), Jillian Richards and friend Tara Jefferson.
Laughing hysterically, the five bachelorettes strip down to their panties, get up close and personal and pose confidently together for the camera.
“OK, so nice big smiles everyone,” shouts bride-to-be Jennie Richards, 32, jokingly adding: “Remember, girls, don’t show too much flesh!”
The risque picture is not a spur-of-the-moment snap taken during some sorority sisters’ high jinks, but the highlight of a so-called “boudoir photography party,” a growing social trend in the US, with some photographers reporting a 50 percent increase in business over the past five years.
Funny, the lead of that article describes pretty much every dream I had in junior high school (did I distance it far enough, Lauren? Let's hope so.. chk chk)

For those that are interested in such things.. the Whitey Bulger Trial is going on right now, and due to stupid laws (damn you, Obama!) there are no cameras allowed in federal court . (Of course, the govt can snoop wherever they see fit). But anyway, if you are interested in getting some great PBP (and who isnt).. follow our boy, Jim Armstrong on Twitter.. @JimArmstrongWBZ
No, this is not a shameless plug in an effort to validate the time I am spending on this... this is a legitimate heads up. Jim is just nailin' it during this trial and great to watch these updates come down, as some fascinating testimony is going on...
9. Republicans Say the Darndest Things
A story that needs no introduction..
U.S Congressman says he's anti-abortion because he believes fetuses masturbate: report

U.S. Congressman Michael Burgess, a Republican representing Denton County and parts of Dallas and Tarrant counties, is a former OB/GYN. He supports a proposed GOP bill called the Pain-Capable Unborn Child Protection Act.
During a recent House Rules Committee hearing he has gone as far as saying the bill should ban abortions 15 weeks after conception.
"There is no question in my mind that a baby at 20 weeks after conception can feel pain. The fact of the matter is I argue with the chairman because I thought the date was far too late. We should be setting this at 15 weeks, 16 weeks," he said.
