IF the 76ers get the #1 pick NBA twitter gonna look like a Pete Carroll message board post.

If you trust Jiffy Lube with your brakes, you’re gonna have a hard time stopping.

pretty sure the Umber’s millennial children are in charge now and they thirst for leaders who are more in touch with today’s fast-paced social-media driven society.

This is the craziest god damn post you’ve ever put on kinja.

What probably happened:

I’m sorry, but Ben Kingsley as Actual Drunk Actor Trevor Slattery was amazing. If you don’t love Trevor Slattery, you’re wrong.

If he hadn’t, my head would have 'sploided.

I guess you didn’t finish reading the reddit thread. Apparently this is in line with the type of humor the station regularly engages in. For example, here’s the same anchor and meteorologist:

Should the punishment for fighting depend on how good you are at it?

I like Jose Bautista quite a bit, but apparently I like him getting punched in the face even more.

I graduated in 2011 and it’s frankly amazing how foreign the current college experience looks to me.

This take needs more bears.

Anyone who has spent any time around lifelong academics will tell you that these responses are completely par for the course. Hell, academics shit on their PEERS who are equally well trained, educated, etc., and pretty much resent ANYONE in their field who dares talk to the press or makes any kind of splashy…

It’s pseudo-science and the only reason it was covered at all was because he was kid. The experts are pointing out that they aren’t idiots that never thought to connect Mayan cities up with the stars.
