Aziz Ansari Is Becoming An Expert On Finding Love In A Digital World
The Parks and Recreation star talks exclusively to BuzzFeed about his new stand-up tour, the sociology book he’s writing, and whether or not technology is ruining romance.

“I'm in no position to give advice,” Aziz Ansari told BuzzFeed exclusively as he prepares for new stand-up tour, Modern Romance. “We're all in the same boat together. This is to make everyone realize we're all dealing with the same shit.”
And Modern Romance is designed to dissect that so-called “shit” — from first-date fears to wedding drama — and the technological advents that have fundamentally, and forever, changed what's required of 21st-century dating.
“An average dude who might struggle to meet the right person at a bar can go online and meet 80 women who are perfect for him,” the Parks and Recreation star explained. “That's a very new thing. You used to have to work up a lot of courage to talk to a girl. That's not necessary now because you can just send them a text. So what happens to someone who used to struggle to talk to girls in person and can now message 80 women any time he wants? What happens when people's barriers to the opposite sex have gone down?”
That question led Ansari to develop a companion book to the Modern Romance tour. But unlike other recent successful nonfiction works from comedy actors, like Tina Fey's Bossypants and Mindy Kaling's Is Everyone Hanging Out Without Me?, Ansari's won't be comprised of personal essays. “It's more like a sociology book,” he said. “As if the Freakonomics guys or Malcolm Gladwell tried to analyze the world right now.”
To infuse his tome with expertise, Ansari has spent months interviewing sociological rock stars, like Dr. Helen Fisher and Barry Schwartz, on a smattering of sexuality subjects. “It's been so interesting for me to learn about things like the Paradox of Choice, which says the more choices you have, the harder a decision gets,” he noted. “I feel like that's exactly what's happening in dating right now because there are so many choices, it's driving people crazy.”
But the actor-comedian is clear that he's not of the mind-set that technology is ruining romance. In fact, it's just the opposite. “You've got people meeting people on Facebook that they'd never have met before,” Ansari noted. “Or you meet someone at a party and forget to ask for their number, but if you know their name or who they're friends with, you can look them up on Facebook, ask them out, have a fun time, and get married. None of that could happen if it wasn't for technology.”
Which is why Ansari is infusing Modern Romance with technology-based, interactive elements, some of which were recently field-tested to wonderful results. “It's been fun to develop a portion of the show that's different every night and interactive,” he said. “There was this guy who had been texting someone he met recently, and we read those texts on stage. It's interesting because you have this strange record of how people are flirting, and I saw that this kid was saying nonsense and not really asking her out. So I pushed him to make plans with her. We typed the text out on stage, sent it to her, and then eventually she said yes! It was so crazy that she responded — and that said yes. It would have been horrible if she said no.”
Far from his Parks and Rec character Tom Haverford's womanizing ways, Ansari himself is clearly quite the romantic about modern love. “Now you can text someone in the middle of the day just to say, 'Hey, I love you so much. You're always in my heart,'” he mused. “That's the sweet thing about technology.”

The Heartbreaking Military Confessions Of Whisper
Anonymous confessions on the secret-sharing app Whisper capture the complicated lives of soldiers in the field and at home.
Whisper is a relatively new app for anonymously posting confessions, ranging from banal to scandalous. It’s popular with teens and younger people, and has comments and a private messaging system, which has become popular as a lonely-heart pickup/chat service.
The app's anonymity and young user base has also made it popular with military personnel, whose messages routinely surface in the app's “Popular” feed. Their confessions, as well as their families', are compelling and often heartbreaking, telling stories of anger, violence, loss, return, and alienation in a strange new way.

A Definitive Ranking Of Places To Snorgle A Cat, From Worst To Yummiest
Kindle
Snorgle ( v): to snuggle a cute item in an manner meant to drink in or experience its overwhelming cuteness.
The butt
I'm sorry to have to start the list with this image, but I promise you that this is the absolute worst place to snorgle a cat. Even as a dedicated cat enthusiast, I would never snorgle a cat butt. I sincerely hope everyone reading this agrees and if you don't, well, maybe you should Google “toxoplasmosis.”
Mouth and Claws
These can be combined because the reasons for not snorgling are basically identical: no fur, pointy, able to wreak havoc. Snorgle at your own risk.
The tail
Look at that beautiful tail! Looks great for some snorgling, right? WRONG! Under those feathery locks is skin, and underneath that, spine. Just cat spine attached to nothing. Gross.
The back
This cat is a panda bear. THIS CAT IS A PANDA BEAR. But even the panda bear cat can't distract me from the fact that the back of the cat is a pretty lame place near which to put your face. Much like the tail, the presence of the spine is noticeable. It beats the tail because there's a higher chance it could have some loveable fat around it, but you're probably in for a bony snuggle if you aim here.

21 Sundance Movies You Need To Know About
Kindle
We saw a looooot of movies at this year’s Sundance Film Festival, and these are the ones that you’ll be hearing about this year. In no particular order!
Dear White People
Directed by: Justin Simien
Written by: Justin Simien
Starring: Tyler James Williams, Tessa Thompson, Teyonah Parris, Brandon Bell
Simien's feature debut is a sharp, hilarious, intelligent, fast-moving, Election-like examination of race on a fancy, mostly white college campus. I had high hopes for this movie, and they were all met. Exceeded, actually. The performances, especially Thompson's and Williams', were so nuanced and likable. I found myself trying to remember the movie's jokes as I heard them, because they were so on-point and repeatable. Like this one: “Dear White People on Instagram: You own an iPhone and you go on hikes. We get it.” So funny! And sweet, and good-hearted. Also, I would argue that there's never been a good movie about college? But now there is. —Kate Aurthur
Distribution: Not yet!
Ashley Beireis Nguyen
Boyhood
Directed by: Richard Linklater
Written by: Richard Linklater
Starring: Ellar Coltraine, Ethan Hawke, Patricia Arquette, Lorelei Arquette
Shot over 12 years, this ambitious, sprawling narrative follows a boy from the age of 6 all the way through to his freshman year of college. Linklater recruited young Ellar Coltrane to act alongside Ethan Hawke, Patricia Arquette, and his daughter Lorelei Linklater. Coltrane's own life and development — as well as the turmoil felt by the world at large — helped determine the story's direction. A masterful work and amazing accomplishment, this is the sort of rare gem that makes you believe in the power of cinema. —Jordan Zakarin
Distribution: Not yet!
Sundance Institute
The Skeleton Twins
The Skeleton Twins
Directed by: Craig Johnson
Written by: Craig Johnson, Mark Heyman
Starring: Bill Hader, Kristen Wiig, Luke Wilson, Ty Burrell, Boyd Holbrook, Joanna Gleason
The log line for this film — twin siblings Milo (Hader) and Maggie (Wiig) reunite after a mysterious 10-year estrangement when news of Milo’s attempted suicide interrupts Maggie’s own attempted suicide — sounds like a total Sundance-y downer. But this was easily one of the most entertaining, crowd-pleasing movies of the festival, with a breakout performance by Hader that proves he's every bit the multifaceted movie actor that Wiig is. Co-writers Heyman and Johnson (who directed) started working on the script eight years ago, and their attention to detail — both in storytelling and in character — shows in the best way. —Adam B. Vary
Distribution: Lionsgate and Roadside Attractions, releasing in late summer 2014.
Reed Morano
Obvious Child
Directed by: Gillian Robespierre
Written by: Gillian Robespierre
Starring: Jenny Slate, Jake Lacy, Gaby Hoffman, David Cross
A sweet, hilarious comedy about love, sex, Brooklyn, money, being in your twenties, and…abortion. After getting dumped by her boyfriend and going on a bender, a 28-year-old stand-up comedian (Slate) has a one-night stand with a wholesome business school student from Vermont (Lacy) — and gets pregnant. Robespierre shows it's possible to have a light touch with controversial, serious subjects. —Doree Shafrir
Distribution: Through A24. Release date sometime in 2014.

In “Power Play,” Indiana GOP Lawmakers Advance Marriage Ban Out Of Committee
Kindle
The measure, which would send a constitutional amendment to the ballot, will now move to the full Indiana House of Representatives.

An Indiana House committee voted Wednesday to advance a proposed constitutional amendment that would ban marriage for same-sex couples — a day after the GOP leader of the House suddenly yanked the measure from a committee where it was likely expected to fail.
The Elections and Apportionment Committee of the Indiana House passed the measure, House Joint Resolution 3, in a 9-3 vote along with a companion bill that secured the same vote. One Democratic lawmaker, Rep. Terry Goodin, was excused due to a medical emergency and did not vote.
The vote brings the proposed amendment one step closer to appearing on the upcoming November ballot, where Indiana voters would be asked to approve or disapprove adding it to the state’s constitution — a debate that has transpired in Indiana for several years.
The vote comes after a highly unusual move Tuesday by House Speaker Brian Bosma, the Republican majority leader, who placed the pieces legislation before what is seen as a more conservative committee after it became clear they would stall or fail before the previous panel where they were considered last week. Critics, such as Freedom Indiana Campaign Manager Megan Robertson, called it a “power play” and accused Bosma of violating the “traditional legislative process” to force the bill forward.
During debate over the bills Wednesday, the committee's Republican chairman, Rep. Milo Smith, said Bosma reassigned them to “get it out of committee and to the full floor for more debate.”
“We're disappointed, but we're more disappointed in the jury-rigged process than the outcome today,” Robertson said. “The traditional legislative path for this divisive amendment was completely upended when Speaker Bosma decided he had to switch committees to shore up enough Republican votes to move it to the floor.”
However, Bosma's need to place the bills before a more conservative committee may suggest the proposed amendment will face a tougher battle when considered by the full House, according to House Democratic Leader Scott Pelath.
“Given that the Speaker had trouble getting the votes out of the very committee that he sent the measure to, I don't think anything is a guarantee at this point,” Pelath told BuzzFeed prior to Wednesday's vote. “Ordinarily, if the Speaker has a bill he wants passed, he sends it to a committee where he knows it will pass and if he puts it on the floor, he knows it's going to pass. He's not trying to set it up to fail, but clearly there is a lot of hesitation among our more pragmatic counterparts across the aisle.”
Robertson and advocates in the Indiana Equality coalition promised to continue fighting to derail the legislation and said their efforts “are not deterred” by the committee's vote.
The proposed amendment already passed with overwhelming support in both the Indiana House and Senate in 2011 under the title HJR 6, but must be approved by both chambers a second time before it is put on the ballot.
Specifically, it would add a new section to the state's constitution reading, “Only a marriage between one (1) man and one (1) woman shall be valid or recognized as marriage in Indiana. A legal status identical or substantially similar to that of marriage for unmarried individuals shall not be valid or recognized.”
The companion bill, House Bill 1153, was added to clarify the language of the second line so as not to interfere with benefits provided by employers in the state and the ability of municipalities to enact non-discrimination ordinances, proponents said. Opponents say it is not clear enough and simply makes the affect of the amendment more confusing.
Indiana is one of four states without either marriage equality or a constitutional amendment banning same-sex couples from marrying but that does have a statute defining marriage as only between one man and one woman. Proponents of the measure, such as its author, Rep. P Eric Turner, said adding the amendment language to the state's constitution further protects it from being struck down in court.
“Indiana is one of those states at risk [of a court ruling] because we only have a statute and not constitutional protection,” Turner said before the committee. “We've been debating this since 2004; it's time to put this debate to rest and allow Hoosier voters to decide.”
If the bill fails this session, it would not be able to appear on a ballot until 2016.

The lyrical prowess of Andy Dwyer (Chris Pratt) has been well-documented on Parks and Recreation. He’s treated us to “I Fell in the Pit” and “5000 Candles in the Wind,” but Andy's greatest musical offering to date didn't quite make it into Thursday's all-new Parks and Rec, titled “Farmers Market.”
Now BuzzFeed has the exclusive deleted scene (above) of Andy performing a song about Belgium's most iconic ass-kicker at a child's birthday party. And it's a little intense.
