This week for BuzzReads, Dorian Lynskey discusses the implications of the murder of a Greek rapper by a member of their Neo-Nazi party. Read that and these other stories from around BuzzFeed and the web.
In September, a rapper known as Killah P was stabbed to death on a busy Athens street by a member of Golden Dawn, Greece’s thriving fascist party. For a country torn apart for years by nationalist violence and economic austerity, this was either a breaking point or the beginning of a whole new wave of trouble. Read it at BuzzFeed.

Four guys who go by The Cream Pies wrote a love song to Ellen DeGeneres called “We Love You, Ellen.” And it was so good she had them perform on her show.
At the beginning of their video, which is about how much they love the talk show host, the singers bopped up and down decked out in Ellen attire (including an Ellen apron, life-size poster, and chef hat.)

How I Met Your Mother celebrates its legen-(wait-for-it)-dary 200th episode Monday night. Here’s to all of the awesome stuff they’ve taught us about bro-ships, love, and life.
Overview: You have to wait three days from receiving a number to call the person.
Theoretical Origin: Jesus invented the three days rule by waiting three days between his death and resurrection. According to Barney, "If he had only waited one day, a lot of people wouldn't have even heard he died. They'd be all, "Hey Jesus, what up?" and Jesus would probably be like, "What up? I died yesterday!" and they'd be all, "Uh, you look pretty alive to me, dude..." and then Jesus would have to explain how he was resurrected, and how it was a miracle, and the dude'd be like "Uhh okay, whatever you say, bro..."
Validity Score: [10/10] This theory draws from the fundamental age old question: WWJD (What would Jesus do?)

Overview: A person is allowed to be crazy, as long as they are equally hot. A graph is used to display someone's hot-to-crazy ratio. Ideally, you want your date to be above the diagonal line, indicating that they are hotter than they are crazy.
Validity Score: [6/10] The widespread relevance of this theory depends on the mental stability and shallowness of a dater. But, no one maintains the psyche to put up with loose canons for too long (see: How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days). Regardless of how hot a date may be, waiting anxiously for them to become unhinged eventually takes a toll on one's brain/body/apartment/life.

Overview: From the moment a date begins, you have five minutes to decide whether you're going to commit to an entire evening. If you don't, there are no hard feelings and no repercussions.
Practical Origin: Some U.S. state laws provide a remedy for purchasers of cars and other consumer goods in order to compensate for products that repeatedly fail to meet standards of quality and performance.
Validity Score: [2/10] While this might save people a lot of time and misery, it's grossly inhumane.

Overview: Fulfilling a request for a friend without making inquiries about the request's potentially shady nature. In exchange for doing the request without making further reference to the incident, friends earn their own opportunity to impose their unquestioned requests in the future.
Validity Score: [6/10] This is such a practical rule to impose. Just imagine: "I need you to go buy me a burrito right now, NO QUESTIONS ASKED," or something else a little more sketchy. The problem is actually finding acquaintances who aren't interested enough to ask you so many/any questions about everything. Those are rare breeds.

Slowly tastes every beer, explains at length that the kegs are at slightly the wrong temperature, and bemoans the lack of a certain obscure craft beer. Generally immediately in front of you at the bar.

If you don't know who Kacey Musgraves is, then you're denying yourself some seriously good music. And if you're one of those people who hates country music, then I hate you. JK. But for real, Kacey Musgraves is REALLY good.
Listen. Love it. Live it. Eat it. Or not.
She posted it on Instagram with the caption: "Going through old pictures and came across this one. 60 weeks ago I heard Merry Go 'Round on the radio for the first time. Bawled like a baby. Such a pivotal moment for me and everyone that's been on this ride with me."
Adorable.

Reports Monday said the National Security Agency could take user’s mobile data from apps such as Angry Birds.
White House press secretary Jay Carney said Monday that he's "not in a position" to discuss reports that the National Security Agency has the ability to take information from so-called "leaky" mobile apps such as Angry Birds, a question which drew laughs from Carney and the White House press corps. Carney added that the NSA was not "focused" on the communications of ordinary Americans.
"What I'm saying is that the NSA in its collection is focused on the communication of people who are valid foreign intelligence targets," Carney said. "They're not focused on the information of ordinary Americans, and that's the case in answer to questions about, you know, the variety of revelations that have been made in the press."
According to documents published in the New York Times, the Guardian, and ProPublica Monday, the NSA can collect data from mobile apps that can reveal a user's personal information.
