Two for Tuesday: Coke vs. Pepsi
Jennifer vs. Angelina, Britney vs. Christina, Batman vs. Superman– we all love to pick sides in long standing rivalries. These ones in particular have been dividing our country for years, but no feud has lasted quite as long as Coke vs. Pepsi.

Funny Friday: THE DRESS
“Black not yellow, black not yellow, black not yellow, black not yellow.” Who knew that one post about the color of a dress on Tumblr would break the Internet? But alas, that’s exactly what happened.

What’s utterly mind-boggling about offensiveness is its subjective-ness. Yes, there are words, stereotypes and depictions that will (rightfully so) offend […]
“You Know I’m Bad, I’m Bad, You know it!”
Ever wonder how we can see the deceased again? This year, we’ve seen legends come “back to life” in various forms. As a fan of “throwing my twos up,” I was thrilled to see the west coast rap legend, Tupac Shakur, resurrected for one last time this past April in the form of a Hollogram […]
