Finally, an ad for sanitary products that features an actual period.
Sanitary towel and tampon ads don’t exactly portray periods in the most realistic way. If it’s not strange-looking blue liquid being poured on pads, it’s women jumping around splashing each other for reasons that remain unknown to us. Bodyform’s latest ad shows something refreshingly different. An actual period. The ad opens with red liquid being poured onto a pad. Not a drop of blue dye in sight! It also shows a closeup of a woman’s thighs in a shower, with menstrual blood trickling down the inside of her leg—a sight that’s familiar to anyone who has periods. The ad is […]
Pitbull lends his private plane to help cancer patients in Puerto Rico get treatment they need
They don’t call him Mr. Worldwide for nothing. Pitbull is sending his private plane to Puerto Rico for cancer patients to be brought into the mainland United States for treatment. The U.S. territory is still in dire straits from Hurricane Maria, which has left the entire island without power and upwards of 60 percent of the population without access to potable water.

97-year-old war veteran takes a knee in response to President Trump’s protest comments

Brennan Gilmore tweeted a photo Sunday of his 97-year-old grandfather, John Middlemas, kneeling in support of the #TakeAKnee movement, started by former San Francisco 49ers football player Colin Kaepernick in 2016 over police violence against African Americans. President Donald Trump’s outspoken criticism against athletes who don’t stand up for the national anthem sparked this protest among people like Middlemas in solidarity with NFL athletes who kneeled on the field this weekend.

Dude smoking a cigarette at a gas station gets a rude awakening
If there’s anywhere you shouldn’t smoke, it’s at a gas station. A dude enjoying a cigarette at his car at a gas station in Sofia, Bulgaria received a healthy dose of instant karma when he apparently refused to extinguish his butt when asked.

After Trump’s visit to Puerto Rico, Mayor of San Juan wears a ‘NASTY’ T-shirt in a TV interview
Whoever is responsible for the Mayor of San Juan’s T-shirt collection, we’d like to take this time to thank you. Mayor Carmen Yulín Cruz, not one to mince her words or protest T-shirts, wore a black T-shirt emblazoned with the words “NASTY” on it to a Univision interview Wednesday morning. Yulín Cruz’s T-shirt appears to have been in response to Trump’s tweets about her on Saturday, as well as his spectacularly tone deaf visit to the island yesterday.
