Urban Dictionary has saved us all from lots of awkwardness, but there are some crazy words on there that make you think "who would ever use that"?! There are also some words you had no idea had a sexual or dirty meaning!

Lana Del Rey: WHERE IS YOUR COMPASSION?!

Lana Del Rey with a fan in Paris
earlier this week.
Lana Del Rey, once quoted as saying "I already have everything I want", has once again hit headlines for a recent interview in which she was hauled into saying she wishes she was dead. If you're a Lana fan, a tumblr user, or into pop culture; you've probably already heard the story. I'm here to go back to the basics, give the true story, get done with all this politically-correct sh*t, and talk about the fact that Lana has said she wants to die.

MCDONALDS CLOTHING LINE?! (and why they changed the happy meal box)


Retail: £699
You probably didn't realise unless you're very fashion savvy, but McDonalds have released a clothing line—consisting of bags, belts, shoes, and even a visor! The bags cost between £578 and £699. Of course, if you're really into fashion, you'll know I'm lying. However, Moschino DID release a McDonalds-inspired line.

Puppy rescued from canyon!

Lately I have seen a lot of animal rescue videos and it makes me very happy! While hiking through the desert in 2010, Zak Anderegg discovered a puppy trapped deep in a canyon slot in Arizona. He knew he couldn’t just leave the little guy, so he grabbed his gear and his camera and started the difficult process of extracting Riley who is now a member of his family.

Amazon Prime vs Netflix

Almost half of the United States population subscribe to Netflix, Amazon Prime or Hulu Plus. Sadly, we don't get Hulu in the UK, so I can't review that (actually, thinking of it I could just use the proxy I use to access my American best friend's Netflix, but...whatever). On a daily basis, 31% of adults watch video on non-TV devices, so I thought making this review would be a good idea!

Dog escapes cage, then releases other dogs from dog kennel

"Beauty or brains?" Dogs are both! This video from 2007 (wow, a whole 7 years ago) shows dogs are more than just good looks. At The Battersea Dogs & Cats Home in London, one lucky dog (pun intended) manages to unlock his cage in the dog kennel, then proceeds to unlock the other dog's cages! See the video below

How to make gifs for Tumblr

I make a couple dozen gifs every week for Tumblr, and I was request a tutorial by a follower. You will need photoshop, in 32-bit mode. My tutorial is from a Mac, but you follow the same instructions on Windows pretty much.

Volkswagen powerful new advert about driving whilst on the phone

Mobile use is the leading cause of death whilst driving. Volkswagen created an advert as a brilliant way to communicate how risky it is to use mobile phones while driving. It blows my mind that it's still legal to use your phone whilst driving in some countries, but blows my mind more than people actually want to! See the video below.

Puppy live cam!

Did you know there's a channel on Youtube called "The Pet Collective" where they have dozens of live video feeds of animals?! My favourite is the border collie puppies. They're so adorable!

Orange is the new black, kitten spoof

Orange Is The New on Netflix has become a huge success! Viewers and critics simply can’t get enough of the prison show. The Pet Collective has joined the Orange obsession by debuting this adorable kitten-themed parody of the series. In less than a week, the cute spoof has amassed over a quarter million views!

Amazon to release "mystery" product, give away mystery in video.

the front page of amazon today!
Amazon are releasing a mystery product, and making a big deal out of it. They released a—probably overexaggerated—video to announce the product, however the video actually (probably accidentally) shows us what the product is!

5 really fun flash games you've probably never played

Thought flash games were a thing of the past? Is your memory flooded with memories of 2007? Mine too, but recently I've found some really entertaining and funny ones that I feel the need to share!

Don't Speak Into The Mic and Win 10 Dollars

Jimmy Kemmel is becoming my favourite TV show I don't actually watch. Like I see clips on youtube (like the one below!) and make gifs of his show and stuff and find the show hilarious, but it doesn't broadcast in the UK :( Anyway, his latest game is where passersby are asked to play a simple game. The interviewer/microphone holder simply says, “Don’t talk into this microphone and win ten dollars.” How people react is hilarious!

Should divorce be a court matter?

In my opinion, divorce shouldn't be a court matter. Courts should be for criminal cases, and breach of contract, not relationship problems. The use of court in divorce increases time, expense, stress, and in some casespublicity.

How to cheat an exam, and why I didn't do it.

On Friday the 23rd, I totally messed up an exam. I made a mess of a whole question, and was pretty sure I lost 25% marks. Because of this, it was impossible to get an A, and I needed 93% on the other questions I did for a B. I most likely had a C. This was my best subject, and if I hadn't messed up the final question I would've definitely got an A.  Luckily, there were 2 exams. After a few days of hard revising (I wrote over 10,000 words revision!) I decided to cheat.
