Kangaroos Fighting Humans, An Unfortunate History

A man fighting a kangaroo

Humans have been fighting kangaroos since at least the early 1890s for their perverse viewing pleasure.

Sarah wrote a story about these boxing kangaroos for Fightland.

Men Getting Upset About Mad Max: Fury Road Is Ridiculous

Mad Max Fury Road

Pretty much everyone thinks Mad Max: Fury Road is one of the most amazing action films in the history of action films.

Except one group: men’s rights activists.

Apparently these pathetic aspiring bullies think Charlize Theron’s character Furiosa is too uppity in the movie.

Sarah wrote a column about how dumb these people are for Consequence Of Sound.

Autistic People Are Not Tragedies

There’s a rather sinister narrative in certain sectors of the autism community that parents of autistic children have been saddled with a burden so dramatic that only a eugenics-minded grim reaper could rectify their issues.

People Who Text While Driving Officially Declared Worst Humans Of 2015

People who text while driving are the worst humans.

People who text while driving are officially the Worst Humans of 2015.

These road menaces beat out people who aren’t actually gluten allergic in the final round of the 2015 Worst Human March Madness poll earlier today, scoring 58 per cent of the popular vote vs. wheatophobes.

The victory capped a thoroughly dominating tournament for horrible texting drivers, having beaten people who don’t cover their mouth while coughing by a decisive 80-20% vote count in The FU 4 round, pummeling frequent selfie takers 69-31% in The Awful 8 round, dismantling road rage drivers 84-16% in The Shit 16 round, smacking down people who are always late 71-29% in round two, and in what would be their closest contest, defeating people who park in handicap spaces by 53-47% in the opening round.

Society has now spoken. Let this be a lesson to all who text while driving.
