We’ve all seen those clickbait headlines about people who were arrested for ridiculous reasons. Most of the time, however, there’s more to the story than what a catchy Facebook post or meme alludes to. No, a student wasn’t arrested for simply farting in class — he was turning off other students’ computers and being disruptive…
We all expect that people will sometimes get hurt during the course of film production. If you shoot a fight sequence or car chase or literally any scene with Gary Busey, you’re eventually getting hurt. But sometimes, randomness and unpredictability get thrown into the equation, and that’s when you end up with weirdass situations like…
Scammers are everywhere, if your dedicated Spam folder hadn’t tipped you off to that already. And to be fair, some of them have really honed their craft, successfully pulling off incredible feats of thievery. Others, however, leave you wondering whether or not they consulted with their nephew’s third grade class on how to make a…
Art is a complex and subjective thing, and we all have different takes on music and paintings and clown dog sculptures (I’m against them). Sometimes, however, artists aren’t always thinking of the real world implications of their projects, especially with things like humans and physics getting involved. And on rare occasions, those things meet in…
Determination is one of the key traits in any Modern Rogue. However, it’s occasionally a trait also shared by people who like to be asses and take things that aren’t theirs. Fortunately, determination alone isn’t enough to be a successful criminal, as it doesn’t always make up for overwhelming incompetence. Luckily for us, technology has…
Most religious practices look kind of ridiculous out of context. We can make fun of “wacky” foreign religions all we want, but unlike Christianity, almost none of them feature a holy foreskin. Still, we did say we can make fun of them all we want, so let’s go ahead and do that now. Full article at…
We’re all familiar with the stereotypical image of court jesters, what with their multi-pointed hats and juggling routines and generally making an ass of themselves to the delight of far more important people. Their beloved likeness has even found a home on the face of our playing cards, albeit the two that are only used…
So an oppressive regime of robots or buttholes or whatever has basically enslaved humanity in some way. Hope is all but lost, because the stranglehold the evil-doers has is beyond the average individual’s ability to overcome. What might one do, save for putting your trust in the hands of a martial-arting, gun-slinging rogue? But here,…
The end of days … we all know it’s coming. Humanity itself will collapse, people will turn on each other, and we’ll be forced to succumb to our most primal human instincts. But still, we’ve grown a little reliant on our modern conveniences, which is why when the feces hits the whirring blade apparatus of…
Olivia Mainville was not brought up in a musical family, per se. Her parents love music and listen to it constantly — her father even collects instruments. But as far as playing any of those instruments goes, that’s another story entirely. “My dad wanted to play music,” Mainville said. “He says he was in a…
With each of Jesse Ray and the Carolina Catfish’s three full-length albums earning a WYCE Jammies Award, as well as snagging the number-three spot for Best Original Band on Revue’s very own Best of the West readers’ poll, there is little doubt that the group has captured the attention of West Michigan. And this duo consistently delivers…
Owning your own home is one of the very cornerstones of the American Dream. It’s awesome – you save up for an enormous down-payment, sell 30 years of your life away, then pay for taxes and insurance and maintenance on a boringass structure confined to a hunk of land that your neighbor’s dog constantly poops…
Perhaps best recognized as the fictional version of himself in the wildly popular television series The Office, Creed Bratton is known for his zany, off-the-wall and sometimes ridiculously insane comments and antics throughout the show’s nine seasons. Based on the UK series by the same name, the US version of The Office was not originally slated to have a Bratton-esque…
Supply and demand should ensure that we never run out of people to do the really key jobs. If there was a dire shortage of, say, potato chip flavor developers (don’t panic, this is strictly theoretical), chip companies would make the salary and perks of the job more attractive, colleges would hype up the benefits…
Ani DiFranco is no stranger to politics. A leader in the feminist movement, the singer-songwriter and poet isn’t afraid to dive deep, meeting social issues head-on not only through her music, but in activism. There was a time when she even considered taking a more active role, flirting with the idea of serving in public office.…
