Today was National Doughnut Day, which in itself is a cause for celebration.

But the day was made even better because Krispy Kreme Canada was giving away free doughnuts at their stores.

Because free doughnuts are amazing I spoke to Krispy Kreme’s Kelcey Hamaker about why they were doing it.

Giving out doughnuts has an origin that goes back almost a hundred years.

Neil Young Takes On Starbucks, Monsanto

Neil Young and Promise Of The Real

Neil Young and Promise Of The Real

Neil Young is rather clear on his feelings about Starbucks, Monsanto and genetically modified foods with his new song “A Rock Star Bucks A Coffee Shop.”

He really dislikes them.

I explained a bit about his new song and video and why he feels this way for Samaritan Mag.

Burger King’s Connection To Boxing

One of the weirdest things to come out of the Mayweather-Pacquaio fight last week was the appearance of the super-creepy Burger King mascot “The Burger King.”

It seemed really peculiar at the time, but it turns out the King of the Whopper’s presence at fighting events isn’t all that strange.

Sarah explained why in an article for Fightland.

Drinking Wine With Elias Theodorou

Elias Theodorou, the handsome UFC man-fighter who looks like he could be a secondary character in the 300 movies, recently hosted a media preview wine tasting and meat eating event for Carnivor in Toronto.

As absurd as that might sound, it was apparently kinda fun. (Free wine helps.)

Sarah wrote about it for Fightland. To read the story go here.

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.
