Full disclosure.. I have never heard a Nicki Minaj song, or seen one of her videos.. But perhaps that should change...
2. Helpful Tips
In case you've been living under a rock, there's been some "unrest" in the small town of Ferguson, Missouri lately.. after an unarmed black teenager was shot and killed by police. We won't go into the details of the case, but we do know this all could have been avoided if he followed these friendly pointers.. courtesy of The Onion.
Tips For Being An Unarmed Black Teen
With riots raging in Ferguson, MO following the shooting death by police of an unarmed African-American youth, the nation has turned its eyes toward social injustice and the continuing crisis of race relations. Here are The Onion’s tips for being an unarmed black teen in America:- Shy away from dangerous, heavily policed areas.
- Avoid swaggering or any other confident behavior that suggests you are not completely subjugated.
- Be sure not to pick up any object that could be perceived by a police officer as a firearm, such as a cell phone, a food item, or nothing.
- Explain in clear and logical terms that you do not enjoy being shot, and would prefer that it not happen.
- Don’t let society stereotype you as a petty criminal. Remember that you can be seen as so much more, from an armed robbery suspect, to a rape suspect, to a murder suspect.
- Try to see it from a police officer’s point of view: You may be unarmed, but you’re also black.
- Avoid wearing clothing associated with the gang lifestyle, such as shirts and pants.
- Revel in the fact that by simply existing, you exert a threatening presence over the nation’s police force.
- Be as polite and straightforward as possible when police officers are kicking the shit out of you.
Of course, the best thing to come out of Ferguson this week.. is clearly this.
3. Reunion of the Week
There's just something magical when Walter White and Pinkman get together..but they may have been upstaged a bit by old friend, Elaine in this video. Her expression when she talks about not getting recognized.. priceless. The best part, now we don't have to watch the Emmys because we've already seen the best part of it.

7. Nerd Alert
What happens when Bill Simmons and friends hit up the National Convention of Sports Nerds, uhm, I mean, Memorabilia? Magic happens..
For example:
RB: There’s nothing better than ending a letter with “Good luck to you and.” Nothing.
And while we're here... I wonder if any of these were at that convention.. If so, I'm going in 2015. This would look real nice next to all the bobbleheads on my desk at work.
5) The Meat, Rocky
Every time someone does a list of the worst/insane/crappy action
figures of all time list on the internet, they include The Meat from the
Rocky toyline. As well they should; it's a terrible accessory
that's being sold as an action figure, and it's insulting. And
tragically it's still less horrible than Destroyed Cassandra.
