The MOST OUTRAGEOUS VMA MOMENTS

To help you get ready for this weekend’s MTV Video Music Awards show, we thought we’d remind you of just how crazy the VMAs can get…

19. Twerktastic


People still haven’t stopped talking about last year’s twerktastic performance by Miley Cyrus and Robin Thicke. The We Can’t Stop/Blurred Lines mash-up sparked the nation into controversy and also gave us some new dance moves to obsess over¬-but the only blurred lines in that performance were between what’s sexy and what looks like stage-molestation.
The Smith clan’s sensibilities were scandalized by Miley’s antics.


Crocodile scarring >< Yakuza tattoos

Crocodile Scarring
If you thought the Yakuza tattoos looked painful (and who could blame you?), you may want to give crocodile scarring a miss. Crocodile scarification is a traditional coming of age ritual still practiced by some tribes around the world. It involves making hundreds of small incisions in the skin of the man-to-be with a razor or bamboo splinter, forming an elaborate pattern that resembles the skin of a crocodile when the cuts turn into raised scars. Makes an awkward shaving lesson from your dad seem like quite a reasonable option…
Crocodile Scarification
These beautiful photos by David Kirkland show men of the Sepik River Tribe, Papua New Guinea. The crocodile is revered by the tribe, who believe that humans were born of roaming packs of crocodiles. On some interpretations, the scars represent the teeth marks of the crocodile on the body of a boy, who is chewed up by the crocodile before emerging as a man.

As the following video shows, the crocodile scarring ritual is a pretty horrific practice that pushes even the hardiest of men to their absolute limit of endurance — let alone 11-year-old boys. Good one to have up your sleeve next time you hear a kid having a tantrum in a toy shop.
WARNING! Do not watch this video if you are even mildly squeamish!

Father and Daughter Beautifully Recreate Wedding Photos of Late Mother


Father and daughter Ben and Olivia lost Olivia's mother, Ali, when Olivia was just one-year-old to a rare form of lung cancer. This November, after two years of being on a "rollercoaster of emotions" Ben decided to move out of their Cincinnati home that they had lived in with Olivia's late mother. Before they left, to serve as lasting memories of their past lives there, Ben decided to ask his sister-in-law and professional photographer Melanie Pace to take photos of him and his now 3-year-old daughter in the same home.
Four years earlier, in 2009, Ben and Ali had closed on the house the day before their wedding, so they had taken their wedding photos in the empty house. Now, Ben would say one last goodbye to the house, which was once again empty, with his daughter Olivia as they recreated the original wedding photos taken by the same family photographer, Melanie Pace.
Though Ben said that he did the shoot for himself and his daughter, the heartbreaking side-by-side photos are starting to make their way around the web as others have come to appreciate the authenticity and vulnerability in each shot. “Many people have asked me how I felt while doing that photo session," Ben said. "What I want them to know is that this isn’t a story about grief and loss and hurt. Yes, I’ve gone through those emotions and still do but that’s not what I want people to see in these photos. This is a story about love.”
