Irish People Try American Candy

In Ireland, folks don't get all of the same ridiculous candy that we have here in America. But not to fear, the good folks from Facts. are giving Irish people our uniquely American Halloween/fall treats, like candy corn, popcorn balls, and warm apple cider and seeing their reactions. It's delightful, even though the Irish find most of the treats to be some form of "shite." Enjoy!

Abby Wambach's Gatorade Commercial Asks You To Forget Her

Abby Wambach played her final career match the other day, and there was massive fanfare on social media, just before she deleted her account. My buddy and much bigger fan of soccer Ryan wrote a solid piece on Abby's legacy, which I highly recommend reading.

The Gatorade spot is chilling, though. It's tough to imagine asking everyone to forget you–after all, nearly every human wants to be remembered for something. But sometimes letting others have the spotlight is the best gift you can give.

Carli Lloyd Scores Hat Trick In 16 Minutes, U.S. Women Win World Cup

Again, I'm not going to pretend like I enjoy watching soccer. But it was pretty cool seeing the U.S. beat Japan 5-2 to clinch their first World Cup victory since 1999 technically only three World Cups were played in between then and now, but the length of time sounds so much cooler with the years involved.

Game MVP goes to Carli Lloyd, who scored less than three minutes into the game. Litchrally seconds later, she added another goal.

Check out the second goal by @CarliLloyd, who will soon be seen on the US $10 bill. #USAvJPN #WWCFinal pic.twitter.com/CKhlY4eSaQ

Then, less than 16 minutes into the match, the U.S. got their third goal from Lloyd, and fourth of the game. This one was from freakin' midfield.

GOALZO!! Carlo Lloyd from Half-field. Wow. #USA #WWCFinal pic.twitter.com/wMsDp7SRjs

Way to go, ladies. Doing our country proud. U-S-A (x 100).

Coheed and Cambria Sing Justice Scalia's Dissenting Opinions

Coheed and Cambria Sing Justice Scalia's Dissenting Opinions from Funny Or Die

Last week the Supreme Court ruled in favor of legalizing gay marriage in all 50 states. It's a monumental decision for sure, but it was also a 5-4 decision. That means four Supreme Court justices are against this; one of them is Antonin Scalia, who's made quite a name for himself in terms of long, pretentious, vitriolic word choices when delivering his opinions on a subject. In fact, you can create your own Scalia criticism using this generator.

Scalia's dissent for this most recent Supreme Court ruling included the words "mummeries" and "judicial Putsch." Good luck deciphering that. Most of us need some help, so Coheed and Cambria (of Coheed and Cambria fame) have taken the time to sing out his dissent. It may still not make any sense, but boy, does it sound good.

Guiness Salutes Our Soldiers With "Empty Chair" Commercial

The Fourth of July is oftentimes an excuse to grill, drink and shoot off fireworks (sometimes all at once). But let's not forget the real reason the holiday exists: it celebrates the independence of our country. And we still have folks fighting for that freedom every day. Guinness reminds us of that with a touching commercial titled "Empty Chair." Check it out, and have a wonderful weekend.
