The Rainbow Crosswalks Of Sydney, Australia

They're all so pretty.

A popular rainbow crosswalk has been suddenly removed from Sydney, Australia's gay and lesbian district because the city claimed it was a traffic hazard. The crosswalk was created to honor the 35th anniversary of the gay and lesbian carnival, and supporters want to keep the crosswalk because they say it serves as a symbol of the city's tolerance.

This is what it used to look like:

Now it's just a plain, dumb street.

In response to the city removing the crosswalk, people have started creating their own rainbow crosswalks. There is, of course, already a DIY Rainbow Crossings Facebook group.

Here are some of the group's offerings:

13 Reasons Older Ladies Love Fred Couples

The golfer is a hit with the housewife set.

Earlier today, my mother text messaged me and told me we should do a post on why older women love Freddie Couples. I thought this was embarrassing and weird, but when I brought it to the attention of the rest of the BuzzFeed Sports team, they asked their respective mothers only to find that the Freddie love is pretty universal. Our very own Matt Kiebus has witnessed this love firsthand at PGA events, telling us "At the events I went to (The US Open and two PGA championships), the women swooned over Freddie. He has the most groupies at tour events of anyone not named Tiger." Who knew? So here are some reasons why ladies loves Fred (aka LL Cool F).

Why "The Borgias" Is Shot In A Tiny Village In Hungary

0

It's not just because of the tax subsidies.

Via: Showtime

In the third season premiere of The Borgias, Jeremy Irons' poisoned Pope Alexander fights for his life in an opulently decorated papal bedroom — but not in Italy, or even on a Hollywood set. Instead, the English actor lies under a red bedspread imagined by the Irish series creator Neil Jordan, in a soundstage near a small village in Hungary.

The Borgias, whose third season premieres Sunday, April 14 on Showtime, was initially an Irish/Canadian co-production. But the crew shifted its sights to Hungary and Korda Studios, a large studio complex near a small town called Etyek 40 minutes outside Budapest. St. Peter's Square, 15th-century Roman streets, and the Vatican library were all built for The Borgias by Hungarian construction crews.

Irish executive producer James Flynn explained why his home country was ruled out: "Unfortunately, you get the four seasons in Ireland." Hungary had the "hot look" the show needed for the mostly Italy-based story.

Via: Korda Studios

Flynn, who's been working on the show from the beginning, says 25 to 30 percent of the crew is Hungarian, or around 60 people on a crew of around 230. Language barriers are rare, he said, because "with a few exceptions, the whole crew speaks English." Flynn himself spends months in Hungary each year, based in Budapest, like most of the people who work on the show. The show shoots two episodes in four-week blocks, with three weeks at Korda Studios and one week on location for scenes of armies on the march, horseback rides in the forest, and the like.

Korda itself was built between 2004 and 2007, right after a slightly revised version of its Film Related Tax Relief System went into effect. The program generously subsidizes foreign productions — up to 20 percent of production expenses incurred in Hungary are refunded, as long as the project passes the cultural test (e.g. the project must have something to do with Europe, and certain projects, like pornography and reality shows, are not eligible for refunds). And it seems to be working: According to reports, since the law went into effect, Hungary has been sapping film business from neighboring Czech Republic. Flynn said the tax incentive combined with the strong construction crews and the "beautiful, air-conditioned studio with five huge stages" all tipped the scales in Hungary's favor.

Other foreign productions shot in Hungary in recent years include Hellboy II,The Golden Compass, East German scenes of The Debt with Helen Mirren, and parts of the forthcoming Brad Pitt zombie apocalypse flick World War Z.

What A Juice Cleanse Is REALLY Like

It's NOT healthy, and it sure ain't happy.

So! You're thinking about trying one of those "juice cleanses" everyone's been chatting about.

So! You're thinking about trying one of those "juice cleanses" everyone's been chatting about.

A juice cleanse or juice fast, if by some miracle you haven't been exposed to the concept, is a diet wherein you consume JUICE AND ONLY JUICE for a period of time, usually a few days. Lots of companies offer pre-packaged sets of juices to make it simple for you.

This supposedly helps "detox" your body, encourages weight loss, and packs you so full of fruity nutrients and veggie vitamins that you become a magical being made of light and float away to a place in the sky where you shall never want for anything again.
