Unicorns are dead. So should This Food Trend.

Unicorns don't exist and neither should this food trend.
Specifically, the new Unicorn beverage.
The disgusting, pink and purple changing beverage has gotten adults in a tizzy-to the point of temper tantrums.
If this new fan crazed phenomena has taught me anything, it's that people still lose their minds over shiny objects, and that humanity is downright stupid.
Let me tell you what's in this new fantasy beverage: Mango syrup,a sour blue drizzle, pink powder, and a creme frappuccino, all blended to a perfect misery of pink and purple.
Do you think these childish adults would be pushing people out of the way to get one of these beverages if it wasn't pink and "sparkly," as Instagram users have described the beverage?
Maybe. Who knows? People buy the Double Down from KFC (the chicken acts as a bun), so it wouldn't surprise me.
As for Starbucks itself, kudos for being smarter than the average bear. You saw the opportunity and exploited humanity's easily swayed minds to not only buy this terrible concoction, but for them to do all of the advertising for you.
Well done.

Why is "13 Reasons Why" so Popular?

Netflix has become amassed in a pit of controversy and ecstasy over their newest show- 13 Reasons Why. The story, originally a book written by Jay Asher explores the psychological dilemma of when to speak up when someone's life is on the line. Netflix, however, threw all of that out of the window and did the EXACT opposite: they encouraged people to remain silent. Something that is a huge no-no for suicide prevention. And according to ABC news, that is exactly what schools are warning parents about. The show has been a cautionary tale, as episodes include suicide plots, shut lips over abuse and bullying, and how to enact slitting one's wrist in order to die. Because that's what suicidal and depressed teenagers need to see- how to die and succeed.

Teachers Say What?

In seventh grade I had a history teacher tell me to get used to saying, "would you like fries with that?" Although I promised to be said teacher's boss one day, their insult seems like child's play compared to being told to, "go kill yourself." That's what went down in Louisiana, where two teachers are now under arrest after threatening and bullying a student of theirs. Who knows? Maybe they thought that tough love meant harassment and intimidation? They do live in Louisiana, after all. I have to wonder if this is the kid's fault. Two teachers attacking you? Clearly, correlation is causation, right? Or maybe Lousiana just has rreeeaaaallllyyyyyy low standards for educators. All I know is that the first rule of bullying a kid- make sure there are no cameras.

Coming to you on Facebook Live...

First Steve Stevens. And now Wuttisan Wongtalay. I think it's time to rethink this Facebook Live thing. According to BBC news, Wongtalay got into an argument with his wife and hung first his baby daughter, and then himself, at a deserted hotel. If this isn't horrific enough, his family and friends were able to watch on, too late to do anything to save either of them. Mark Zuckerburg made a statement about the incidences and reported that they wanted to make Facebook applications as safe as possible, but that's impossible when people are freaking crazy. What is the sick appeal of posting murders and tragedies on live? How do you make something like that safe when it is not something that can be monitored? I'm not even going to make any snarky remarks here, because this is a terrible situation, both for the mother who lost both her husband and daughter, and the family members that had to witness both of their deaths. There's a reason that images and vide...
