Definitive Proof That Blue Cheese Will Always Be Better Than Ranch
Ranch will always be the inferior condiment.
For years humans have debated over the age old question of which dipping sauce is better: Blue Cheese or Ranch?

Ranch advocates stand firm in their beliefs that the runny, disgusting sauce they love is superior to blue cheese.

However, they are sadly mistaken.
Everyone knows blue cheese is the creme de le crop when it comes to dipping sauces.

Moments later, within sight of the finish line, the broken equipment caused Gafarov to fall again. A layer of the ski's P-Tex base stripped off and wrapped around the athlete's foot, tripping him as he tried to stand and continue the race.

As Gafarov struggled towards the finish line, Canadian cross-country coach Justin Wadsworth ran onto the track carrying a new ski.

LGBT Activists Launch “Cheers To Sochi” Parody Site After “Hijacking” McDonald’s Hashtag
“McDonald’s did all my work for me,” said the activist behind CheersToSochi.org .
Site by LGBT activists (left) and original site by McDonald's (right).
After taking over McDonald’s “Cheers To Sochi” social media campaign on Twitter last month, LGBT activists are continuing their push to demand official sponsors of the Sochi Games to denounce Russia's anti-LGBT laws with the launch of a parody website, CheerstoSochi.org.
McDonald's asked customers to use the #CheersToSochi hashtag on Twitter Jan. 21 to send messages of support to olympians competing in the games, and opened CheersToSochi.com (the URL now redirects to aboutmcdonalds.com) as a hub for “sending cheers.” But within days, LGBT activists and other critics swarmed the hashtag, using it to demand official Olympic sponsors, such as McDonald's and Coca-Cola, denounce the host nation's discriminatory policies.
“For a while, I was thinking about a blanket campaign that would hit all the sponsors and then McDonald's did all my work for me, they launched 'Cheers To Sochi,'” said Scott Wooledge, an LGBT activist at Queer Nation NY. “We successfully hijacked 'Cheers To Sochi' from McDonald's. [CheersToSochi.org] is a way to continue the campaign.”
By Jan. 24, McDonald's apparently discontinued use of the hashtag and never snapped up the .org version of the domain, Wooledge said. He purchased the domain for $10 about two weeks ago and told BuzzFeed the site parodies McDonalds' official site in both name and design and will serve as an aggregator for directing criticism to the Olympic sponsors on social media.
Taking over the conversation on sites like Twitter and Facebook is a more effective way of getting the attention of the sponsors, who have so far ignored online petitions with similar demands even though they have hundreds of thousands of signatures, Wooledge said.
“This is a way to have a conversation,” Wooledge said. “It has functionality as well in that it makes it easy to share things on various social media sites. It links to all the sponsors and all their social media pages.”
Users are greeted with a message upon landing at the site reading, “Send your cheers to your favorite Sochi 2014 corporate sponsor or the International Olympic committee. They've all betrayed the ideals in Olympic charter. How do you feel about that?” The site includes links to the sponsors' social media properties and memes that could be used along with the hashtag.
Wooledge estimates about 90% of tweets including the #CheersToSochi hashtag are people protesting the sponsors' silence on the anti-LGBT laws or even protesting the Olympics outright.
When it was clear the #CheersToSochi conversation had shifted to the controversy over the propaganda law, McDonald's issued a statement on its website, saying in part, “We are aware that some activists are targeting Olympic sponsors to voice their concerns regarding the Russian LGBT legislation. McDonald's supports human rights, the spirit of the Olympics and all the athletes who've worked so hard to compete in the Games. We believe the Olympic Games should be open to all, free of discrimination, and that applies to spectators, officials, media, and athletes.”
Around the same time #CheersToSochi launched last month, Wooledge created a video parodying a classic Coca-Cola commercial, by adding clips of violence perpetrated against LGBT people in Russia. The company showcased a new commercial briefly featuring a gay couple during the Super Bowl on Sunday.
BuzzFeed has reached out to McDonald’s for for further comment and will update this post if the company responds.

Drew Barrymore Was A Brilliant Actor At 4 Years Old
This 1979 Pillsbury commercial is proof.
At just 4, Drew Barrymore was already showing a wide range of theatrical brilliance — which takes most people years to hone — as seen in this 1979 commercial for Pillsbury’s chocolate chip cookie dough.
It is a rainy day in suburbia. A tiny Drew arrives home, soaked, despite her ample rain gear.
She is, understandably, quite sad. After all, she is a child to parents who allow their daughter to walk herself to preschool.
Notice the subtle, yet poignant, shift as Drew goes from sad to Grumpy Cat-level depression.

The Enormous Top Hat Trend Of The ’90s Was Incredibly Bad
It’s time to own up to the fact that we all wore Dr. Seuss hats at some point during the ’90s.
Here's a relic from a 1996 issue of Seventeen magazine, reporting that Cat in the Hat style hats were all the rage with teens. It was the unfortunate truth.
I would know. I had one.
The goofy hat trend began showing up in raver culture in the early '90s.
According to this article on the “ultrafunky” fashions of ravers, Dr. Seuss top hats ranked among the “most awesome” styles, “usually saved for nighttime parties.”
fuckyeahugly90sclothes.tumblr.com
And the striped Dr. Seuss look became a staple of the New York Club Kid scene. Even the New York Times picked up on the trend in 1992.
From a 1992 New York Times article: “Dr. Seuss's 'The Cat in the Hat' is to today's hat makers what Franz Lehar's The Merry Widow' was to milliners of 1910. Some of the amazing hats being worn these days in Greenwich Village, with almost yard-high crowns, resemble Dr. Seuss's stovepipe creation. These lightweight cotton creations with wired brims are sold at street fairs and Village boutiques.”
