Vinny Foti, MTV"s The Challenge Alum, Hospitalized for Heart Failure
Vinny Foti, a former cast member on MTV’s The Challenge, is in desperate need of your help.
A GoFundMe campaign has been created to assist Foti after relatives announced he was hospitalized on Friday due to heart failure.
This is what the GoFundMe page dedicated to Foti reads:
Our sweet, dear friend and coworker Vinny Foti is in ICU with heart failure. He is on a ventilator and is sedated.
He is a loving father and husband. We are trying to help raise money for medical expenses and other things needed for the family.
They have two daughters ages 2yrs , and 2 months old. Please help us pull together and help this beautiful family. Please help if you can.
Foti is a 36-year old native of Boston.
His loved ones subsequently updated followers of the GoFundme page with a statement sharing his current condition, while Foti’s wife, Krista Foti, shared the awful news on Twitter.
“Thank you for the donations, shares, and likes. Our family feels really loved,” reads this message.
It continues:
“I told Vinny what was going on even though he was still sleeping. I know he appreciates everything you guys have done.
“Here’s the only update I have. They had to put another tube is his left lung to drain.
“He’s still in ICU and not getting off the ventilator for a few more days the dr said. Dr said we just got to take it day by day. I ll keep everyone posted.”
Foti may be a familiar face to MTV viewers.
He initially appeared on the Fresh Meat II season of The Challenge in 2010 and later took part in The Challenge: Season 20’s Cutthroat competition, as well as Season 22’s Battle of the Exes.
He’s been involved in reality television for years.
Among other reasons for earning a large fan base during his run on the show, Foti garnered attention for his impressive physique
“I train every day like an absolute animal and I’m ready,” he said during his first run on the hit MTV series. “I’m in peak performance shape.”
The stated goal of the GoFundMe campaign is to raise $ 20,000.
As of this writing, it had raised $ 2,280.
You may click HERE to donate.
We are sending our thoughts and prayers to Vinny Foti and his family.

The Condom Challenge is Something That"s Actually Happening
We have good news, readers:
Teens across the country are using condoms more than ever before.
But we also have some bad news:
These teens are not necessarily using the condoms for safe sex.
Instead of wrapping the condom around their penis or their partner"s penis, these people are sucking the prophylactics through their noses and then taking them out of their mouths.
No, really.
We"re not kidding:
Just like past idiotic trends such as the Tide Pods challenge, something called the "Condom Snorting Challenge" is sadly sweeping the nation.
Videos of teens doing taking this ridiculous action have been on the Internet for years, but there"s been a new proliferation in recent days.
Needless to say, although we will anyway, condoms can be a choking hazard; they can also cause appendicitis if swallowed.
Moreover, they can cause an allergic reaction… and it’s even possible that nasal passages and/or sinuses could get infected because nothing but air is supposed to pass through them.
They really are not meant to be a corridor for condoms is the point here.
Does this look remotely enjoyable?
Or comfortable?
Or worth doing just so you can gain a few new followers on social media?
We guess the answers have to be yes, for some people out there at least.
For others, it"s simply enjoyable to sit back and make fun of these individuals.
To wit:
LOL!
Check out the video below for more on this condom challenge and to try and understand why it"s actually happening:

Tide Pod Challenge: Teens Film Themselves Eating Detergent Pods! Why?!
What happens when you mix the internet, the neo-dadaist humor shared by Millennials and Generation Z, social media, YouTube"s "challenge" culture, and millions of years of evolutionary instinct?
Well, you get teenagers recording videos of themselves eating Tide detergent pods.
As you"ll see in the video below, this unbelievable (and very inadvisable!) stunt is the latest "challenge" video that"s taking the internet by storm. Oh, dear.
So, you know when you were a kid — and, honestly, now — and some things looked like food and, on some primal level, you felt the impulse to try to eat it?
Recently, people on social media have been talking about detergent pods and other "forbidden snacks."
From little colorful bouncy balls to salt lamps to translucent dice to detergent pods, there are certain small items that we have to resist the impulse to devour.
Why? Because our instincts — we"re talking, like, lizard brain instincts — see a small, colorful object that might be partially see-through, and it registers as fruit.
Not just fruit, but some sort of nutrient-rich morsel full of flavor, vitamins, and simple carbohydrates that our bodies need to survive.
So people have joked about "forbidden snacks." Memes were born.
Unfortunately, while the vast majority of people talking about these detergent pods were just remarking on the absurdity of their impulse to eat them, well …
Some people have been taking things a step further by recording themselves putting a detergent pod in their mouths.
They took a perfectly good, almost wholesome, meme, and turned it into one of those stupid "challenges" that could easily poison someone.
As the Taylor Swift song says, "This Is Why We Can"t Have Nice Things."
Now, some of these "challenge" videos are funny. Genuinely, truly funny.
Artistically created, they"re even set to music.
Many of them use tricks, via editing or camera movements, in order to simply make it appear that someone has eaten one of these "tasty" pods.
They are made of extremely concentrated soap, folks. They do not taste good. When eaten, they are also super, super bad for you.
Some of these videos are, again, illusions.
In fact, some videos include artificial detergent pods, made of safely edible things like candy and jello, which reminds me of that game show where people bite onto everyday objects in a room in order to discover which are chocolate.
(You can view an edible Tide Pod recipe here)
But we"re sad to say that at least some of these videos are for real.
Many companies make detergent pods, for the dishwasher or the washing machine.
Tide pods, for whatever reason, have been singled out by the meme and particularly by the people taking the "Tide pod challenge."
We can only imagine what a PR nightmare this must be for all of the people working at Tide, who must either be scratching their heads or screaming as they see their cleaning products ingested all across the internet.
In fact, Tide actually put out a statement:
"Our laundry pacs are a highly concentrated detergent meant to clean clothes, and they"re used safely in millions of households every day. They should be only used to clean clothes and kept up, closed and away from children."
Their statement continues:
"We have seen no indication of an increase of cases seeking medical treatment amongst infants and teenagers associated with the recent uptick in social media conversation or in consumer calls."
So, that"s good, at least.
We should note that the reason that detergent pods in general are so colorful is because that appeals to our instincts. (That"s why products and packaging, in general, look colorful)
We don"t think that it"s Tide"s fault, or any other company"s, that some people make terrible choices because they want their videos to get views.

Parents Challenge Beyonce, Recreate Iconic Twins Photo
On July 13, 2017, Beyonce posed for what has already become a legendary photo on Instagram.
In honor of twins Rumi and Sir turning one-month old, the singer got dressed up in a veil and a flowing purple blanket/cape-type thingy and stared seriously into the camera, with the Pacific Ocean on display behind her.
She cradled her newborns in her arms.
In response to the image, most people on the Internet lost their minds.
But a few parents took Beyonce"s snapshpt as a challenge, recreating it with their own kids… in their own clothing… on their own, less picturesque property.
The results are hilarious. Check them out below.
1. The Announcement
Beyonce’s twins photo was a bookend to this lovely image, which the singer shared in February to announce she was expecting.
2. Meet the Twins!
Beyonce showed off Rumi and Sir to the world with this gorgeous photo.
3. Twins, Huh?
This hilarious mother scoffs at Beyonce posing with two kids in her arms. Try THREE some time, Queen Bey!
4. Hey, Bey!
This mother may not be posing in the same artistic manner as Beyonce, but we love that blanket!
5. Standing Up is Tiring
So this mother of twins had to take a little break and squat down for a bit during her photo shoot. Her legs aren’t as powerful as those of Beyonce.
6. The Future is… Male!
Let’s not be sexist here. Men also channeled their inner Beyonce in recreating her twins’ debut photo.
