I'm not totally sure what they are reporting on here, but I'm pretty sure they did not run the proper video behind this news anchor. Unless he was reporting on hardcore pornography. Then they definitely played the correct video.

Cups isn't about selling frozen yogurt. It's about selling an experience.
If ever there were a month when it's good to be a man, June might very well be that month. With the warm weather in full swing and the beer chilling on ice, there's no better time to get to living outdoors, loving life and pissing off the neighbors. Whether it's booze, bikinis or basketball you crave, we've got it all right here in the ten best things about June. And to all you dads out there, cheers to your fatherhood this month!
No. 10 - Summer Kick-Off Parties
Whether you're hosting or crashing them, the good-time parties are here. Plan ahead with work to let them know your productivity is going way down, your punctuality in the morning will be about two time zones west, and the reason your mother is dropping you off isn't because you miss her taking you to school everyday and giving you a smooch on the cheek.
If it's your first time hosting a summer kick-off party, make sure it's a good one and don't hold back. Bust out the obnoxious summer paraphernalia and festive lights. Invite the neighborhood girls over, crank up the classic rock and grill yourself some livestock, because it's summer, boys, and there ain't no going back.
No. 9 - Summer Sales
With everybody outside enjoying the sunshine, there are people still indoors trying to sell you on crap you don't need right now, and they're getting desperate enough to offer some great deals so they can keep the lights on. Whether you're in the market for a new suit, gym membership or a house, expect pretty good summer deals on winter-dependent items. Now is the time to make a move if you know you're going to eventually, and with the way people compete this time of year, you could probably make some pretty odd requests on the side.
No. 8 - Flag Day (June 14)
There's nothing more patriotic than starting the day with a flag raising in your front yard. Well, actually, you could go overseas and fight for our country in a war, but since it was a struggle for you just to get pants on, this will have to do.
If you don't have a flag, get yourself one, as it's a great symbol of American freedom, pride and respect. If you happen to think our country is in the toilet, suck it up and make it better, starting with displaying the Stars and Stripes. It's a good habit to pick up, just like drinking a little red wine every day and putting the toilet seat down for the girls.
No. 7 - Music Festivals
The pandemonium of summer rock festivals is fully underway, and with everybody freaking out over new music from the likes of Daft Punk, How to Destroy Angels and Phoenix, it's about time you get down to your nearest music festival. If you're more of an oldies throwback kind of guy, expect lots of hot summer nights with local acts and tribute shows to come around. And if you're looking for a way to show your gal a good time with a little music, get yourself tickets to Justin Timberlake and Jay-Z. Chances are she wants to get frisky with at least one of them, and since she probably won't, you're the next best thing standing right there for her. If our estimations are right, your evening will end like the final morning scenes in "Dazed and Confused."
No. 6 - New Tech Products
Every summer, a new line of tech gear is likely to unfold before your gadget-crazed eyes. Whether it's the latest in photography, Steve Jobs memorabilia or some wacked-out device to improve your golf swing, just prepare yourself for an impulsive month of purchases your significant other will scream about until she's blue.
If, again, you struggle with self-control, first consider if the tech goodie you're interested in has a previous model that might be on sale with these new products on the way out. Then, consider whether or not it adds to your quality of life or destroys your bank account. If the answer to this inquiry is simply that you don't care, have a ball, but all we can tell you in advance is that there likely won't be an iPhone until the fall and nothing can help your golf swing.
No. 5 - Summer Solstice (June 21)
Unless you're a bloodsucking vampire who can't survive the summer sunshine, you'll enjoy this day much like every other normal person. Throw on a little SPF (probably 30, unless you're a pasty mistake unto this world) and enjoy the longest daylight session of the year.
Head to the pool, stare at some beach honeys for a little longer than usual and pick on the local redheaded lobsters who have to take extra shelter on this miraculous day. Next to daylight saving time, this is one of the best days to be a surf-loving drifter; so, soak up the sun, play in some water and be safe with your skin.
No. 4 - Bikini Season in Full Effect
It's not easy being a guy - super horny and filled with anxiety about what will happen if your level of horniness reaches the red. Bad news for you sick fellows, it's bikini season and your reasons for going home early just tripled. And we can't lie to you; it's not going to get any easier with all these new cleverly made swimsuits, leaving nothing to the imagination except what there could possibly be left to imagine.
So to the guys single and struggling with the ladies, get out and mingle with some smooth-looking bronze trophy wife wannabes, buy them a drink and try not to say anything too stupid. And for you fellas with no self-control, start wearing long shirts and carrying a towel with you every place you go, because it's about to get uncomfortable.
No. 3 - Summer Seasonal Beer
It's not summer without a few hundred frosty beverages in the cooler. With the sun beating down on your day off, it's essential to put away the usual bland beers and reach for something truly summertime refreshing, like a bright wheat beer or light IPA. Okay, it doesn't have to be your day off to get jiggy with some summer brew, especially with great flavors like orange, apricot and elderberry involved.
If you're not sure where to turn in such a predicament, we've got you covered with our 10 Summer Beers for More Fun in the Sun. If you can't get behind these tasty treats, it might be best to just hide under your bed until winter comes back around.
No. 2 - NBA Finals
The road to the championship has been long and paved with injury this year, but the NBA Finals are finally here for you basketball lovers. Although the playoffs could've originally been called "Who Wants to Get Mauled by Miami," the Indiana Pacers are thankfully giving them a decent run. If your attention has been waning, the Pacers and Heat are battling for the right to face the Spurs in the Finals. With Game 7 pending, most of us are hoping for the upset so David Stern has to deal with two smaller market teams being in it, and LeBron's flopping taking a nice vacation.
No. 1 - Father's Day (June 16)
If you biffed it on Mother's Day last month, here's your chance at redemption to show your pops that you're not a total screw-up. There's any number of things you can do to show your father how happy you are that he was crazy or drunk enough one night to not pull out and help bring you into the world.
Unlike your mother, don't worry about keeping dad away from the vacuum on such a special Sunday. Instead of flowers and poems, why not try a father-son outing, something you know he'll enjoy? Take him to a car show, throw the fishing poles in the trunk or just grab a case of beer and bone up on your dirty jokes. Whatever he's into, get into it. Just spend some time with your dad; you owe him that much.
There are a ton of movie quotes lists littering the old Internet. We can promise none of them are as good as this one because ... well, because we made this one. Here's a list of 20 of the most memorable badass movie lines ever. We mixed some of the classics with a few of the more recent that we felt deserved to join the club.

If you let my daughter go now, that'll be the end of it. I will not look for you, I will not pursue you. But if you don't, I will look for you, I will find you, and I will kill you."

June is here. So take off all your clothes, chug three beers and run into the nearest body of water. (That's how you do summer, right?).
But before you go all primal because it's hot out, kick back with today's funniest photos on the Internet.
Comic book geeks make up perhaps the most loyal fanbase there is. The superheroes and villains that films these days are based around involve characters these people have grown up with. So when it comes to their favorites being translated to the big screen, you'd better believe they'll bring Internet forums to an uproar if you make even the slightest variation from the comics, especially if it's a bad one. Screw a character up enough and you'll never hear the end of it, until you have little choice but to reboot the franchise entirely. What follows are some of the worst examples in cinema of comic book characters who were completely butchered.
Mandarin in "Iron Man 3"
Let's start with our most recent offender. "Iron Man 3" has been out for a month now, but feel free to skip over this slide if you still have plans to see it.
Are you gone? Okay, let's continue. The comic book Mandarin is Iron Man's most famous supervillain and, in fact, his archenemy. He's a brilliant scientist, a master of martial arts, and has been hellbent on destroying the world on several occasions. He also wields 10 rings that each possess a specific power. In other words, this dude is a force to be reckoned with.
In "Iron Man 3," The Mandarin starts out in the same maniacal way, but in perhaps one of the strangest and most unwelcome twists in comic book movie history, turns out to be simply an actor who was hired by the real villain of the film, Aldrich Killian (played by Guy Pearce). While fans of the film franchise alone weren't all that turned off by this deviation, true Iron Man comic book fans considered it one of the biggest slaps in the face of all time. When you consider the fact that trailers teased The Mandarin as the main villain, and he'd even been foreshadowed since the original "Iron Man" film, it's easy to understand their frustration.
Sandman/Venom in "Spider-Man 3"
This film was such a mess, it's no wonder that they screwed up both of these fan favorite Spider-Man villains. First, while Sandman's origin in both the comics and film were similar, involving an accident fusing criminal Flint Marko's molecules with sand, it's a completely different plot point that is destroyed by the character's presence in "Spider-Man 3." It was long established since the first "Spider-Man" film (and comics) that a random thug shot and killed Peter Parker's Uncle Ben, providing him the sense of responsibility to be a hero. But for whatever reason, the film decides to turn this already established canon on its head, making Sandman secretly Uncle Ben's killer. Even worse, Spider-Man forgives him willy-nilly at the end of the movie because he kind of goes good, and we are left with some of the worst superhero/villain sobbing ever witnessed.
As for Venom, we again have an origin story that follows the comics fairly closely, with scorned reporter Eddie Brock blaming Spider-Man for the loss of his job. The flaw here lies in the casting of the villain, who is supposed to have the physique of Arnold Schwarzenegger circa "Predator." So who better to play that role than Topher Grace, perhaps the smallest person we could think of behind David Spade. Yet even he would have come off more menacing. The film also fails by killing Venom after only about 10 minutes of screen time.
Bucky Barnes in "Captain America: The First Avenger"
Bucky was essentially Captain America's Robin in the 1940's comics. He was the frail, child sidekick who always got himself into trouble, yet had a good heart and always did what was right, regardless of his stature. He was then assumed dead when he unsuccessfully tried defusing a bomb aboard a drone plane.
In the film, it's Steve Rogers who at first assumes the frail hero role, and Bucky is more or less the tough guy. Then, Steve gets injected with a super solder serum and transforms into Captain America. Bucky is again delegated to sidekick status, until he just kind of falls off a train during one of the film's action sequences and is presumed dead. Captain America later flies a plane into the ocean to stop a bomb on board. In a nutshell, the film simply shuffled everything around between the two characters for no real purpose other than to make it different, it would seem.
Bane in "Batman & Robin"
For a movie that gets just about everything wrong from tone to characters, Bane stands out as the most underused and lazy. In the comics, he is methodical, intelligent, and overall a true "bane" to Batman. His comic book origins are much more in tune with the Bane we see in "The Dark Knight Rises," as he was raised in a prison full of murderers. However, unlike that film (and sadly, the only part "Batman & Robin" kind of got right), he is fulled by Venom, a powerful drug that gives him his super strength.
"Batman & Robin" is a joke all around. In that film, yes, Bane is a prisoner given Venom which grants him super strength. That's about as close to the comics as it gets, however, since he's little more than a muscle-bond parakeet for the duration. All he does is walk around repeating everything Poison Ivy says and smashing things. Seriously?!
The Mask in "The Mask"
Few people even know this was a comic, much less one that wasn't for kids. The character of The Mask is actually called Big Head in the books, and his alter ego, Stanley Ipkiss, doesn't last very long. The story goes that this mask makes the wearer go insane, throwing all their inhibitions to the wind, and take violent action against those their human side doesn't like. As mentioned, Ipkiss puts the mask on, goes on a violent killing spree, and is shot to death by his girlfriend once he takes it off. The mask is then turned over to police lieutenant Kellaway (who is also a character in the film), eventually wielding it himself and murdering criminals in a very violent manner until he realizes what the mask is making him do and buries it. Other than the bald, green appearance of the mask wearer, the comic and 1994 Jim Carrey film have little in common with each other. The film is little more than slapstick buffoonery that heavily relies on imitating old Tex Avery cartoons. Also, Lt. Kellaway in the film never even puts the mask on.
Galactus/Parallax in "Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer"/"Green Lantern"
Special effects have come a long way. Therefore, when it comes to intergalactic super beings trying to devour the planet, we know modern visual effects teams can do a little better than space clouds. While we at least give "Green Lantern" credit for giving Parallax a head on a cloud body, "Rise of the Silver Surfer" gets no such slack for their version of Galactus. Galactus is not only a huge fan favorite among Marvel comic fans, he also has a very distinct look, and is one of the most feared beings in all the cosmos. Yet, the movie made him no more intimidating than a storm front coming in.
Frank Castle in "The Punisher"
We're not even going to specify which of the three film iterations of this character we're referring to, because they've all been terrible. The fact of the matter is, the character of The Punisher in the comics is pretty straight forward: U.S. war veteran Frank Castle lost his wife and two kids to a mob shootout in Central Park. Ever since, he's vowed to punish any and all criminals using his skills as a martial artist, stealth tactician, and all-around badass. The 1989 Dolph Lundgren version had him sword fighting at one point. 2004's Thomas Jane vehicle had him sneaking around, making villains kill their own men and families through ridiculously complicated blackmail, as well as setting up a series of elaborate car explosions that formed a skull shape. As for 2008's "Punisher: War Zone," while it possessed the spirit of the original Punisher, it suffered from terrible acting.
We gotta hand it to Thomas Jane, though. He's a true fan of The Punisher, and gave us perhaps the best rendition of the character on film to date with a short film he funded in 2012, starring himself once again as the Marvel antihero. Here it is (warning: strong language and violence):
John Constantine in "Constantine"
This one is so crummy compared to the comic that the creator of "Hellblazer" (the comic which the film is based), Alan Moore, had his name removed from the credits. Basically, all the characteristics that make John Constantine awesome in the books are abandoned in the film. Comic book Constantine is a scoundrel with many vices, who tricks the powers of darkness into curing his lung cancer so he can continue his hedonistic ways. Movie Constantine sacrifices himself, and Lucifer ends up saving his life and curing his cancer, aka the Hollywood cop-out ending. To top things off, in "Hellblazer," Constantine was designed to look like the singer Sting, and is British. Movie Constantine is, well, Keanu Reeves. No accent, no blonde hair, just Neo with a tie.
Deadpool in "X-Men Origins: Wolverine"
This is a character they plan to base an entire spin-off movie on. The entirety of "X-Men Origins: Wolverine" was a train wreck, but the addition of Deadpool, especially when there were about a million other useless comic book character cameos in this extremely convoluted and poorly written film, was the most disappointing. Fans have always wanted Ryan Reynolds for this role, and so has he. Sadly, almost everything about the character minus his smart mouth toward the beginning of the film, is completely inaccurate to the comic book version. First and foremost, Deadpool is prone to breaking the fourth wall often, which he never does in this "Wolverine" film. But the biggest tragedy for the "Merc with a Mouth" is that in the final act, his mouth is fused shut. Comedic quips are the backbone of this character! Let's hope if they do ever get the Deadpool film off the ground, they can rectify their mistakes.
Catwoman in "Catwoman"
The only thing that this Catwoman and the comic book version have in common are the same name. And we aren't talking the person behind the mask, either, as in the film, her name is Patience Phillips instead of Selina Kyle. The movie plot consists of Patience discovering that the cosmetics company she works for is selling an anti-aging product with dangerous side effects. She is killed for knowing this secret, but brought back by an Egyptian Mau cat and given cat-like abilities. Even though Catwoman has had several different origins over the years in the pages of DC Comics, she's generally just a sexy cat burglar with a fondness for cats on either side of the law depending on her mood. In any case, this film's heroine is considered "Catwoman" by name only, and thank God. It's biggest success is not sullying the Batman brand along with it.
