My Québécois is a little rusty, but I can imagine mom here is saying something to the effect of "Oooh, big man with a chainsaw, I bet you're not compensating for anything at all." The guy clearly wasn't looking to go all the way with the violence, but the kids in the car certainly got a scare out of it. And by scare I mean "lifelong fear of all chainsaws from this moment forward."
You still can’t actually dislike someone’s post on Facebook, but now you can use the social network to end your marriage.
A New York Supreme Court justice has ruled that a woman named Ellanora Baidoo can legally serve her husband a divorce summons through Facebook messenger.
She legally married Victor Sena Blood-Dzraku back in 2009, but because he wouldn’t go through with a traditional Ghanaian wedding ceremony, she now wants out of the relationship. They separated, and the only way she has been able to contact him is on the phone or through Facebook, so there has been no way to get him the required paperwork.
Until now. Her lawyer will be messaging him once a week for three weeks, or until he finally responds.
A 2013 study suggested that excessive Facebook usage is likely to cause relationship problems in the first place, which could lead to a breakup or divorce.
So it’s all now just an endless cycle of drama and heartbreak online.
And until your soon-to-be ex responds, it’s probably best to change your status to “It’s Complicated.”
When an Illinois couple had their wedding announcement printed in a local paper, the fast food giant was quick to hop on social media and find the real couple in question:
A half-dozen puns about the "whopper" of an event later, Burger King tracked down the couple and offered to pay for the entire wedding and provide gifts! You can see their ecstatic reaction from their interview here:
Meanwhile, every single McDonald in the nation is starting to feel like they've been stiffed, and our friend Wendy was unavailable for comment.
TMZ has reported that long time polite person Marilyn Manson might have slipped up at a Denny's in Alberta, Canada.
On tour for his new album, The Pale Emperor, Manson stopped off for a quick, quaint bite at 2 a.m. Then apparently he got mean to a nearby table, whose occupants proceeded to get punchy on Manson's face.
TMZ said this:
"We're told Manson got into an argument with a group at another table, and at some point allegedly called a guy's gf a b*tch. The guy was pissed, and we're told he responded by punching Manson in the face."
It's a metaphorical, and maybe literal, black eye for the performer who always tried teaching America's young people to turn the other cheek.
Jeremy Trentelman recently built his 3-year-old son an epic fort made out of cardboard boxes. The castle-like structure was erected on his front lawn, and apparently the city thought it was just a piece of garbage.
A few days later, an Ogden City official posted a notice on his door saying that the fort needed to be removed within 15 days or else he would be forced to pay a $125 fine. According to the city, it violated Code 12-4-2, which prohibits waste material or junk on your lawn.
Trentelman posted a photo of the notice to Facebook along with a message expressing his outrage.
“Are you freakin’ kidding me?” he wrote. “‘Waste materials or junk’ it says… what about totally awesome fun zone. What a joke!”
His story has since spread online, and he’s been inviting strangers to come over to his house and check it out while it’s still there.
“Hey everyone, I’m home for the rest of the day,” he wrote. “Anyone wanna come play in the box fort?”
After the news broke, someone also created a Facebook page so people should show their support and build forts of their own in protest.
Calling on all the citizens of Ogden to stand in solidarity with Jeremy Trentelman by building cardboard forts in all the front yards throughout the entire city of Ogden.
The moral of the story: Stick to your iPad’s and video games, kids, and don’t even think about recycling. That stuff belongs in the trash.
