Jack White Gets Pissed At University Newspaper For Leaking His Rider's Guacamole Recipe

The Oklahoma Daily printed his contract and tour rider, which included the (pretty standard) guac instructions. His team refuted a report that he blacklisted the university in retaliation.

At the show, the 39-year-old musician publicly called out the paper for publishing the info, which they said they had gotten by citing the Freedom of Information Act.

White responded, "Just because you can type it on your computer doesn't make it right."

The OU Daily then reported that White's booking company, William Morris Endeavor Entertainment officially blacklisted the school from the future tours of his band, or any other artists they represent, including 2 Chainz, Alicia Keys, and Selena Gomez.

All 86 Best Picture Oscar Winners Ranked

From the gut-wrenching (12 Years a Slave) to the terrifying (Silence of the Lambs), and the classic (The Godfather) to the god-awful (Crash). The comments section is open for yelling!

Gigi (1958)

Gigi (1958)

Directed by: Vincente Minnelli
Written by: Alan Jay Lerner
The other Oscars it won: Minnelli (Best Director); Lerner (Best Adapted Screenplay); Joseph Ruttenberg (Best Cinematography – Color); William A. Horning, E. Preston Ames, Henry Grace, and F. Keogh Gleason (Best Art Direction); Cecil Beaton (Best Costume Design); Adrienne Fazan (Best Film Editing); André Previn (Best Score – Musical); Frederick Loewe and Lerner (Best Original Song)
What it beat for Best Picture: Auntie Mame, Cat on a Hot Tin Roof, The Defiant Ones, Separate Tables

Yes, the creepiest, most pedophiliac movie ever to win Best Picture is this list's worst. How to define "worst" in this context, especially when judging Gigi — a movie musical some people love now, and certainly many people loved in 1958 — against films that were barely movies as we currently recognize them? This list is, of course, totally subjective: I factored in my personal feelings about each movie, along with how well it has held up, how influential it is, and what it was up against. And then there's the ineffability of common wisdom, which I also have taken into account. No matter how I feel about Annie Hall or about Schindler's List, for example, I know I'm in a minority view in my dislike — and that matters. Not with Gigi, though, in which Leslie Caron plays a Parisian girl being trained to be a courtesan who ends up in a push-and-pull relationship with the much older Gaston (Louis Jordan). This is the movie that gave us that disturbing cultural artifact, the song "Thank Heaven For Little Girls." If you want disturbing psychosexual movies from 1958, let's agree that Vertigo, which was nominated only for Best Art Direction and Best Sound, is preferable. To reiterate: Gigi is the worst.

MGM

The Greatest Show on Earth (1952)

The Greatest Show on Earth (1952)

Directed by: Cecil B. DeMille
Written by: Fredric M. Frank, Barré Lyndon, Theodore St. John, and Frank Cavett
The other Oscars it won: Frank, St. John, and Cavett (Best Story)
What it beat for Best Picture: High Noon, Ivanhoe, Moulin Rouge, The Quiet Man

Produced and directed by Cecil B. DeMille on a huge scale, this movie is often cited as one of the worst movies ever to win Best Picture. I say it is second worst. Jimmy Stewart as Buttons the clown is a complete travesty for sure. Note that Singin' in the Rain, a classic that also came out in 1952, wasn't even nominated for Best Picture.

Paramount Pictures / Everett Collection

Crash (2005)

Crash (2005)

Directed by: Paul Haggis
Written by: Paul Haggis and Bobby Moresco
The other Oscars it won: Haggis and Moresco (Best Original Screenplay); Hughes Winborne (Best Film Editing)
What it beat for Best Picture: Brokeback Mountain; Capote; Good Night, and Good Luck; Munich

It's one outrage that the superior, devastating tragedy Brokeback Mountain lost the Best Picture prize; it's another that Crash won instead. These are two separate terrible things that happened, and the fact that these movies are forever associated taints the beauty of Brokeback Mountain. Crash wields its message with a mallet's touch — every nominated movie was better (and I don't like Munich much).

Shooting Pictures Up A Girl's Skirt Is Totally Legal In Oregon, Judge Says

A judge cleared a 61-year-old man Thursday for taking cell phone pictures up the skirt of a 13-year-old girl at a Target, saying it wasn’t technically illegal.

The ruling on Thursday ended a case that began when Patrick Buono, 61, "upskirted" a 13-year-old girl at a Target on Jan. 3, 2014. Buono allegedly followed the girl into the store, then, according to Deputy District Attorney Paul Maloney, "surreptitiously creeped up behind her and stuck a camera up her skirt."

Maloney told BuzzFeed News on Friday that the girl's mother reported the incident, which was corroborated by witnesses. Investigators later figured out who Buono was by talking to store employees and checking security footage.

Police later searched Buono's home and seized several digital devices, but apparently didn't find the iPhone they believe he used, Maloney said.

Buono's lawyer, Mark Lawrence, told BuzzFeed News that his client admitted to shooting the pictures, but "by admitting it, he's not saying it's moral or right."

"He's very empathetic and feels bad," Lawrence said of Buono.

Maloney said prosecutors thought Buono was invading the girl's privacy and that he was attempting to create child pornography.

Judge Eric Butterfield called Buono's behavior "appalling" and "lewd," The Oregonian reported. But ultimately, the judge acquitted Buono.

"From a legal point of view, which unfortunately today is my job to enforce, he didn't do anything wrong," Butterfield was reported as saying.

Maloney called it "a technical, legal ruling" that even seemed to disappoint the judge. Among other things, the judge noted that the girl was wearing underwear, and thus not technically nude, Maloney said.

We Drew 9 Disney Scenes According To Science And It's Horrifying

You can thank me later for ruining your childhood.

If mermaids were real then Ariel's nose would be on top of her head.

If mermaids were real then Ariel's nose would be on top of her head.

In The Little Mermaid, Ariel's biggest problem is the fabulous drag-queen like octopus, Ursula. But if mermaids actually evolved to live in the sea then Ariel's story would take a very different turn.

"[Mermaids] would most likely have dorsal fins sticking out of their backs. Think of dolphins. Also, the arms would be fin-like or gone. There is not much use for hands in the open ocean. Further, their noses would be on the tops of their heads. And finally, they would be hairless, so no flowing locks," University of California, Irvine evolutionary biologist Bradford Hawkins, Ph.D., told BuzzFeed over email.

Aladdin and Jasmine's faces would burn off during their romantic magic carpet ride, according to the laws of physics.

Aladdin and Jasmine's faces would burn off during their romantic magic carpet ride, according to the laws of physics.

During Aladdin and Jasmine's oh-so-romantic magic carpet ride, the couple traveled from Cairo to Athens in essentially one second. Alejandro Garcia, Ph.D., an animation physicist at San Jose State University and DreamWorks told us what would happen if this were theoretically possible.

According to Garcia's calculations, they would be traveling at around 621 miles per second. The drag force or air resistance would be 100 million times larger than their weight.

"Since meteors burn up as they enter our atmosphere and they travel at a mere [6 to 43 miles] per second, it seems that Aladdin and Jasmine certainly need some magic to keep them safe from the viscous heat generated by their motion through the air," he said.

They would be squashed flat by the force and simultaneously disintegrate due to the heat. Aladdin and Jasmine would still experience a whole new world...in hell.

Finding Nemo is really a story about incest.

Finding Nemo is really a story about incest.

Nemo is a clownfish whose mother was unfortunately eaten by a barracuda in the film, leaving his poor father a widower.

But if this were biologically accurate, Nemo would engage in some family-friendly fun that isn't exactly Disney kosher. Clownfish are hermaphrodites, according to fishery scientist Patrick Cooney's blog.

Nemo's father would transform into a female once his mate dies. "Since Nemo is the only other clownfish around, he becomes a male and mates with his father (who is now a female). Should his father die, Nemo would change into a female and mate with another male," Cooney wrote. Apparently, Nemo suffers from an Oedifish complex.

Pinocchio's head would snap off after he told 13 lies.

Pinocchio's head would snap off after he told 13 lies.

Pinocchio was a wooden puppet whose one wish was to become a real boy. But he had a problem: His nose would grow every time he told a lie.

According to Steffan Llewellyn's calculations in the Journal of Interdisciplinary Science Topics (JIST), Pinocchio would only be able to tell 13 lies before his nose reaches around 682 feet and he is decapitated by the force exerted by his head on his neck.

"Nevertheless, this unique ability can be of great concern for the puppet, and
lengthy, extensive lies are advised against, for the health and well-being of Pinocchio," he wrote.

It looks like Pinocchio will never become a real boy, after all.
