Mistress Dispellers
Wives in China are fed up! Breaking from the tradition of angry outbursts or confrontation all together, housewives in the Asian country have found a new way to get rid of “the other woman” in their marriages. A mistress dispeller is a blossoming occupation, with hubs in over 59 cities. For prices up to 45 thousands USD, a woman can be hired to befriend a husband’s mistress and find ways to end the affair. The mistress dispeller can find her new “friend” another lover, convince her that the husband will never leave his wife, and utilize many other tactics.
There are several mistress dispeller companies in the country. A representative for the Weiqing International Marriage Hospital Emotion Clinic Group, told the New York Times, “Once we figure out what type of mistress she is — in it for money, love or sex — we draw up a plan.” It seems like an overzealous financial commitment from the wife and a huge sacrifice of energy and time for the dispeller but, based off the surging costs, the schemes are working.
Bow Wow Retires
Shad Moss aka Bow Wow hasn’t released an album since 2009. Over the weekend, and seven years since his last release, he notified his fan base that he was retiring from music. Bow Wow has several hits and platinum albums. His meteoric rise from child MC, to teen rap sensation, and to actor was unmatched in his era. The later 2000s weren’t so favorable to him musically and he even became the catalyst for an MTV Catfish episode. He was also in a humorous rap battle with Soulja Boy which resulted in an insane diss video. On Saturday, August 7th he announced his retirement via Twitter:

Many fans were saddened by his declaration while others expressed themselves differently:

Bow Wow has yet to set a release date for his closing and final album.
Kool-Aid Chicken
Some People love Kool-Aid. Some People love chicken. The merger of the two, has many perplexed, confused, and others intrigued. The pictures show one of the most interesting seasonings to coat the edges of a chicken: Kool-Aid dust. The recipe is unknown, maybe with good reason, but I’m sure this adventurous chicken flavoring will have some takers.
I just saw a picture of some diabetic concoction called “Kool-Aid Wings” on my timeline. Why would you want Smurf-colored chicken?

Old Man Calls Police on Himself
A 90 year old Massachusetts man, Nicholas Salerno, was shocked to find that his gold chain was missing from his bedroom after being serviced by a prostitute. The man, who paid $100 for the exchange, abruptly called the police. He told police the woman was named “Karen” and that “She lives in an apartment across from the Christmas Tree Shop,” according to documents obtained by The Smoking Gun.
When asked if he knew paying for sex was illegal, he told the cops, “I don’t give a f–k. I’m 90 years old for Christ’s sake.” Salerno called the police after waiting some days to give the thief chances to return the property. Karen Proia was later detained and the charges against Salerno have since been dropped.
DWS in NJ (Driving While Sipping)
Many lamented about the proposed legislation in NJ that was dubbed as “the coffee ban” over the past week. However the new legislation restricts “any activity unrelated to the actual operation of a motor vehicle in a manner that interferes with the safe operation of the vehicle on a public road or highway.” The basic action of eating a chip or brushing your hair falls into that umbrella description. The bill is being put forward as a way to cut down on the thousands of accidents and deaths that happen annually as a result of distracted drivers.
Only New Jersey: Bill wd ban motorists frm drinking coffee & driving https://t.co/u8udSAPXfX If it bans coffee, NJ will be a ghost state

state will also profit off the new law as fines will range between $200-$400 for first offenses, $400-600 for second offenses, and $600-$800 for a third offenses. Third offenses also come with a 90-day license suspension and a point on your license. If the new legislation passes, I suspect many NJ motorists will have to tone down their air guitar solos while listening to their favorite songs.
Burger King Introduces The Whopperito
Burger King is going full Tex-Mex with the introductions of The Whopperito. The burrito contains the whopper ingredients of onions, pickles, tomatoes, lettuce, and queso sauce instead of mayonnaise. It’s basically a whopper wrapped in a flour tortilla. The new burrito compliments the Egg-Normous Burrito already on their breakfast menus.
Many people were left reeling from the Chipotle news that came out last year. Some branches of the eatery chain dropped 23 percent in sales in the second quarter. It appears Burger King wants to corral those lost customers with their new menu alternative. The Whopperito debuts in Burger King restaurants on August 15th.
Filipino Divers Go Wild
No, the videos that have been circulating on social media are not from the Olympics. Many people have seen the peculiar images of Filipino divers and were shocked, confused, and amused. Two divers come up to the diving board, leap, and their landings end up being some of the worst in recorded history. The videos, that many believed were from the current Rio Olympics are actually from the SEA Games (Southeast Asia Games) of 2015.

The biennial event hosts 11 Asian countries yearly and is supervised by the International Olympic Committee and the Olympic Council of Asia. There is no limit to the events that can be introduced and scored. Host cities and countries are free to create a new events and rack up on medals at their pleasure. These two divers weren’t competing for Olympic hardware, but the event was very real and their insane and memorable dives were too.
Reactions to the videos were pretty funny:
Those Filipino divers got me thinking I should've given the Olympics a shot
