Most Common Misconceptions
Why are there so many common misconceptions on just about any given topic under the sun? I guess it has something to do with people making assumptions, and gossiping. When everybody adds a little something to the story, just to spice things up, it usually ends with a bunch of nonsense that are widely considered to be truth or, in some extreme cases, these misconceptions can even be regarded as “general knowledge”.
So, let’s find out which are the most common misconceptions that befuddle people around the world. Go through this list and check out your own beliefs to see if any of them happen to be false.

The 9 Most Terrifying Real-Life Nerf Weapons
Nerf has been making kids happy by letting them shoot other kids in the face for years now. However, much like ‘The Hunger Games’, we can’t help but get the feeling that they’re secretly training kids to fight wars. After all, why else would they have invented…

11 Things That Have No Business Being Lip Balms
You’ve all probably tried strawberry, cherry or mint lip gloss already. And they all smell so good you just wish you could eat them! And as a little girl I even bit a strawberry lip balm, and I’m not proud of it, especially, because it tasted absolutely terrible. Luckily, I had no access to bacon or french fries lip balms. Those are just two items of this weirdest lip balms list.

12 Comedies Made To Sound Like Intense Dramas
This just made me realize how important context is. If I haven’t seen these movies earlier and I didn’t know they were comedies, I could easily make a mistake and take them for dramas. The way these movies are described here makes them sound really dark and twisted. For example, look at the image below, and Stallone’s face. It is simply heartbreaking.

Celebrities That Look Better Without Facial Hair
You know how some men look really hot and imposing with facial hair? Well, these guys below definitely aren’t one of those people. Instead of looking manly and empowered with beards and mustaches, the celebrities in the pictures below look like hobos. It looks really sad. I can’t decide if it seems pathetic or sloppy. You can almost hear them saying: “spare some change?”

Creative and Funny Advertising
They say sex sells everything, but here is a more subtle, yet still as effective way of advertising – it is through laughs. If a commercial made you laugh, you’ll probably share it with your friend and that is another very popular way of advertising and the advertisers simply adore it, because it is completely free!

A Closer Look at Rihanna’s 15 Tattoos
Most of the people look at Rihanna as girly girl pop star and somehow having 15 tattoos doesn’t really concur with that image, but I’m guessing this is that part “good girl gone bad”.

30 Once In A Lifetime Photographs
Getting a great photo takes time and patience when waiting for the right moment to come, or sometimes the photographer just gets extremely lucky and everything sets just right and the only thing he needs to do is to squeeze that button on his camera.

19 Pepsi Flavors You’ve Probably Never Heard Of
The soda war has been raging for years between Cola and Pepsi, and to win both companies were experimenting with new, unusual flavors. We still don’t have an official winner, but we have to admit that in the category of the most bizarre flavors that appeared and were then swiftly withdrawn from the supermarket shelves, Pepsi has undoubtedly come out on top. Most of these ridiculously flavored Pepsi drinks appeared (lo and behold) in Japan, but to be fair, Russia had its share in this monkey business, as well. So, here’s a toast to that crazy bubbly drink!

Male Superheroes Dressed Like Female Superheroes
Did you ever pay attention to female superhero characters and their impractical, stripper-ish costumes in the comics? If you have trouble noticing how sexist their outfits are, or how demeaning the presenting of these characters in general is, just try picturing male characters instead of the females and you’ll see how awful it is. The female costumes are so ridiculously cut, like the most important thing in fighting crime and catching villains is to show as much cleavage, crotch and butt as possible. This makes me so mad!
If Cats Were Fonts…
Here are 20 adorable cats that were dressed up in costumes clearly inspired by different type fonts. Apparently, this is work of some cat person that is also typophil. I love it, because of the cats obviously. They make everything adorable, and because they are so fluffy.

Female Fitness – Perfect Spot for Chauvinism
We’re still coming round from sock that was caused by the news which hit us last year, in November, about possibility of pole dancing becoming an Olympic sport. They even changed its name from “pole dancing” to “pole fitness” to distinguish it from erotic dancing in night clubs where semi-naked women strip in front of leering men. The popularity of these fitness clubs skyrocketed over the last decade, and more than 500 pole dancing/fitness studios sprung up across the country. The pole fitness instructors say there are women from age 14 to 72 that test their body strength, stamina and flexibility on pole. They say this “sport” provides a physical challenge that keeps both mind and body engaged.

The Worst Tattoo Artist Ever
Have you ever seen worse and crappier tattoos than these? Before you all jump at me with “this is fake” and no one would ever allow anybody to make such terrible tattoos on his skin, let me tell you this guy that refers to his work as Synyster Ink Tattoo is for real. As you can see, he is apparently very proud of his work, and when asked where does he find his inspiration, he answered: “”My thoughts come from my brain. NOT YOURS!” and he added that he has an ‘artistic licence’. Also he insists on not using any patterns or stencil, because his designs are ‘one of a kind’. Well, he got that right! I really haven’t seen anything like this anywhere else… I just can’t figure out where he finds customers willing to entrust him with putting ink on their skin.
New Year’s Resolutions: Expectations Vs. Reality
First of all – happy New Year, guys. I wish you all the best it this, hopefully not apocalyptic 2012 year. It’s that time of year when we all naively make New Year’s resolutions even though we all very well know the reality will be completely different, and that, sadly, we won’t be able to persist in our decisions no matter how cleaver they might be. You probably know what I’m talking about. It is those stupid ideas that are domed to fail like, for example:

Cool Facts and the Most Ridiculous Hangover Cures
Tonight is the New Years Eve, and I suppose everybody will have at least one or two drinks. Well, for those of us who usually tend to overindulge in alcohol, the next day will start with an old familiar feeling of headache, dizziness, dry mouth and nausea, better known as hangover. Well, this year, I decided to do a little research and find out what are the best cures for hangover, but I only came across some ridiculous and absurd remedies which include rather bizarre ingredients like pickled sheep eyeballs, rabbit poop, etc. Therefor, I came to a conclusion, there isn’t really much you can do, once you find yourself in this poor condition. We can only try to be moderate in our drinking (yeah, like that ever happens) and make fun of all these ridiculous hangover cures from around the world.
How the Internet Changed the Way We Think?
In this era of modern communication, when the whole world is a global village and every information is just one click away, we can safely say that more has changed than simply these means of information release and exchange, the internet definitely changed the way we communicate, joke, and finally, the way we think. The most common concerns about internet can all be summed in one question: “Is internet making us shallow?” Are we all becoming pancake people thin and wide spread? Thanks to Google search we are all able to dabble on the surface of many subjects at the same time, without really immersing and comprehending the matter.
