Martha The Mastiff, 'World's Ugliest Dog,' Is Droopy, Gassy And Gorgeous

The competition at the Sonoma-Marin Fair in Petaluma, California, on Friday was stiff. The old, blind, warty and hairless had all showed up to do their worst. But only one of them could emerge victorious, claiming the title of World’s Ugliest Dog.

Martha, a 125-pound Neapolitan mastiff, was the “gassy” and droopy-eyed contestant who ended up clinching the top honor. She impressed the judges with her sweet nature, lumbering gait and dangly jowls that spread like melted butter on the stage whenever she’d plop down for a nap during the competition (which was often).

According to The New York Times, Martha snoozed and snored when the judges named her the winner. “Do you know you just won the World’s Ugliest Dog Contest?” judge Kerry Sanders of NBC News asked of the sleepy pooch, per AP.

“I’d gloat, but I need a nap,” Shirley Zindler, Martha’s handler, responded on her behalf.

After Martha’s win was announced, the 3-year-old pooch quickly amassed a fan base on social media, some of whom weren’t too pleased with the “ugly” in her title.

Martha is stunning how h*ckin dare you. 13/10 https://t.co/9uABQXgjwa

But organizers of the annual contest say it isn’t at all about mocking the participants. Instead, it’s about celebrating the unique beauty of all dogs ―including those that may not be considered Westminster-worthy.

“We’re proud to celebrate all dogs and pets by showing that no matter their imperfections, they are adoptable, lovable and a great addition to any family,” Erin Post, CEO of the Sonoma-Marin Fair, told NPR. For almost 30 years, the World’s Ugliest Dog contest has been a crowd favorite at the fair.

Many of the competitors this year were adopted. In Martha’s case, her previous owner had tried to sell her on Craigslist when Zindler, founder of the Dogwood Animal Rescue Project, intervened.

Martha had been almost “blind from neglect,” according to the Times. Several surgeries later, Martha has regained some of her sight. She now lives on a sprawling property in Penngrove, California, with a new adopted family.

Scroll down to see more pictures of Martha and her “ugly” competitors, each of them beloved and beautiful in their own way. Also remember to adopt and not shop if you’re thinking of welcoming a new animal into your home. You can visit Petfinder and Adopt-A-Pet, or your local SPCA or rescue shelter.

Banksy's Real Identity May Finally, Actually, Seriously Have Been Revealed

In the real world, anonymous street artist Banksy is about as close to a masked superhero as there is. Only instead of saving the world, he critiques and satirizes the ugly truths of contemporary life with graphic imagery that will make you laugh before leaving you with an uneasy feeling in your stomach.

For years, civilians have fancied themselves amateur sleuths after his true identity, offering up one potential name after another, most of which were discredited after a short spurt of internet chatter.

Except this time, Banksy’s identity was alluded to by a slip of the tongue. And the accidental nature of the information coming out gives the impression that this grand Banksy reveal may actually be the real thing.

The news came during a podcast interview between English musician DJ Goldie and poet and musician Scroobius Pip on Pip’s podcast Distraction Pieces on Tuesday. Goldie, when discussing the street artist, said this:

Give me a bubble letter and put it on a T-shirt and write ‘Banksy’ on it, and we’re sorted. We can sell it now. No disrespect to Robert, I think he is a brilliant artist. I think he has flipped the world of art over.

The name Robert raised eyebrows, immediately recalling journalist Craig Williams’ theory, published in 2016, that Banksy was in fact Robert del Naja of trip-hop group Massive Attack, a friend of Goldie’s born and raised in Bristol.

To corroborate his theory, Williams traced Banksy murals and exhibitions as they popped up around the world, noting that most emerged just before or after Massive Attack performed at a destination close by. For example, when Banksy’s work appeared in Australia in 2003, Massive Attack was touring the country.

Further evidence: Del Naja was known to be a graffiti artist himself ― at least allegedly ― eventually leaving visual art behind to pursue music. According to Williams, Del Naja “is held in high regard as one of the pioneers of the stencil graffiti movement, helping to bring hip-hop and graffiti culture to Bristol in the 1980s. And his work has been featured on all of Massive Attack’s record sleeves to date.”

If Del Naja is indeed Banksy, he’s certainly an overachiever, being not only one of the greatest musicians of all time ― at least according to Rolling Stone ― but also perhaps the most hyped visual artist of the contemporary moment.

In 2016, Del Naja responded to the flurry of Banksy rumors by cryptically telling a concert crowd “We are all Banksy.”

We are still waiting for his response this time around.

In Alarming News, This Popular Ikea Bowl Can Start A Fire In The Sun

Furniture retailer Ikea is taking some heat after a man claimed its “BLANDA BLANK” bowl can set objects on fire.

The $4.99 bowl, which is still for sale on Ikea’s website, is made of stainless steel. Richard Walter of Sweden said he smelled smoke coming from the bowl when he was eating grapes over the weekend.

“I saw it was burning in the grape bowl. How is that possible, I thought. Then I saw there was one intense point where [the sun] hit the twigs, and that’s where it started,” Walter told the Swedish tabloid Aftonblade, via The Local.

He later reenacted the scene ― minus the grapes ― for a video he posted on Facebook. The clip shows how direct sunlight on the bowl could start a fire.

“For those of you who had a hard time believing it when it suddenly caught fire in my grapes on the balcony, I’ve done a little experiment to clarify how it all happened,” Walter wrote on Facebook.

Mona Astra Liss, U.S. Corporate Public Relations Director for Ikea, told HuffPost in a statement:

Product safety is always a top priority at Ikea and Ikea products are always tested to comply with applicable standards and legislations. In risk assessment for the bowl Blanda it has been established that many different parameters would have to converge for the content of the bowl to overheat and that the risk for this to happen is very low. The round design of the bowl further contributes to a very low risk of spreading, in case of any overheated material in the bowl.”

As long as it’s not going to cause any serious damage, setting the bowl out in the sun sounds like the perfect way to heat up some of those delicious Ikea meatballs. We at HuffPost also suggest renaming the bowl to something along the lines of:

FYRESTAARTER
BURNSFAST
TOORCH
KOMBÜST
FIREBÖL
LYT
CHAAR
SKORCH
SKAALD
FLAAMES

A Fan Painted Mark Zuckerberg's Face On Her Nails, And Here's What Happened Next

Mark Zuckerberg is a famous dude and, as fans do with anyone who is famous, they like to show their appreciation in ... inventive ways.

One particular fan of the Zuck decided to really nail down her love for the Facebook founder. On Thursday, Zuckerberg shared a manicured hand on his Instagram that features the Facebook logo, the “heart” and “like” reactions, and, naturally, Zuck’s likeness.

Whether he was more enamored or surprised by the gesture isn’t known, but he definitely liked it enough to share:

A post shared by Mark Zuckerberg (@zuck) on Jun 22, 2017 at 4:58pm PDT

The image is accompanied by a caption that indicates this is the first time Zuck’s seen something like this and the hashtag #fcs2017.

Most likely, this Zuck-adorned hand belongs to someone who showed up at the Facebook Group Summit in Chicago (which is what the #fcs2017 denotes), but it’s still unclear whose hand it actually is.

A post shared by Mark Zuckerberg (@zuck) on Jun 22, 2017 at 10:36am PDT

Poop-Shaped Pudding Gets Mixed Reactions For Thailand Bakery

A new dessert being sold at a Thailand sweet shop is no joke, but it could definitely make you gag.

It’s a coconut pudding shaped like a bowel movement, and is the star attraction at the Walaiwan Dessert Shop in Pathum Thani, according to Ruptly TV.

The jelly-like dessert sells for about $1 per piece, but customers aren’t exactly flushed with excitement, according to AsiaOne.com.

The website says comments have ranged from people who say it’s “disgusting,” to others who say it’s “interesting” but they “don’t dare eat it.”

The reaction to the crappy-looking desserts has been so polarizing that one woman took it upon herself to do an instructional video on how to consume it.

Incredibly, the poop dessert isn’t even the shop’s most tasteless creation.

That dubious honor goest to a pudding that looks like a tiny Sharpei puppy.

'The President Show' Brews A Political Cauldron For Trump's Own Witch Hunt

You want a witch hunt? President Trump and his political brood are concocting an evil brew, with spine of Ryan, balls of Romney, and balls of Cruz, and balls of Rubio ― really just a lot of Republican balls given up for this evil elixir.

You think the media witch hunt is something? The Trump and Mike Pence of Comedy Central’s “The President Show” are calling on the darkest powers of Washington.

Fan Goes For Foul Ball While Holding A Baby, Won't Do That Again

A Mets fan watching his team lose its fourth straight game at Dodger Stadium on Thursday didn’t exactly come out a winner either.

In a moment on SNY shared by Keith Olbermann, the man attempted a one-handed grab of a foul ball while holding a baby. Or should we say while almost dropping the baby? Yikes.

Dude got his souvenir but lost the confidence of the baby’s mom, who grabbed the infant away from him. The man looked like he was trying to explain. That’s a strikeout in the making.

14 Comics That Will Make Sense If You're Ambitious But Also Totally Lazy

It’s impossible to “do it all” ― especially when you’re ambitious, but lazy.

That’s the premise of many of the comics on the Instagram account Yeah, It’s Chill, by New York City-based artist Christine.

Christine’s alter ego “Krysteen” attempts to get through the entire process of doing laundry and folding:

And tries to stay awake during yoga after an exhausting long work week:

A post shared by Yeah, It's Chill (@yeahitschill) on Apr 23, 2017 at 9:59am PDT

Mostly, though, she cuts herself some slack when she doesn’t fulfill small daily tasks:

A post shared by Yeah, It's Chill (@yeahitschill) on Apr 8, 2017 at 1:48pm PDT

The 20-something illustrator told HuffPost that Krysteen’s experiences are based on her own life, though the character is a little more dramatic and comfortable in her skin.

“Krysteen recognizes that she can’t be perfect all the time and is OK with that,” she said. “There are so many expectations for women on how to live and be, but she knows that life isn’t that neat.”

Plus, she said, striving for the perfect life can be exhausting.

“Instead, Krysteen’s just out here living her best life!” the artist said.

This Man Getting Owned By A Giant Umbrella Is Truly Iconic

Mother Nature is a saucy minx.

In this delightful video from Friday’s Ireland AM show, weatherman Deric Ó h’Artagáin attempted to do his job in the rainy conditions, but was interrupted by whipping winds.

Armed with an enormous orange umbrella, Deric was in the middle of telling viewers what to expect for the day’s conditions when a gust of wind inverted the umbrella and dragged him off-camera in a beautifully comedic moment.

The show cut to Deric’s laughing co-hosts, who quipped “Welcome to Friday!” and “Don’t mess with Mother Nature.” Deric reappeared, unharmed, but the same cannot be said for the umbrella.

Live TV is just the best, isn’t it?

People Are Crushing On This Pakistani Doctor Who Needs A Room In New York City

Meet Rehan Munir. He’s a 26-year-old med school grad from Pakistan who also happens to be a model.

Here’s Munir in a TV commercial for Hush Puppies Pakistan.

Talk about a well-rounded guy, right?

Munir told HuffPost he hopes to do rotations in various hospitals across the U.S. to gain experience. He’s currently looking for housing in New York City, though ― a search he called “quite the ride.”

A post shared by Rehan Munir (@rehanmunir) on May 27, 2016 at 2:12am PDT

Some of Munir’s New York-based friends recommended he post an ad on Gypsy Housing, a closed Facebook group for people looking for housing and roommates, so earlier this month, Munir did just that.

“I’m Rehan and I’m looking to rent a furnished room on the Upper East Side, Upper West Side or Midtown Manhattan,” the post read.

“I’m professional, friendly and easy to live with,” he added. “Most of all, cleanliness is of utmost priority to me. Please let me know if you have any leads.”

In response, the 26-year-old got way more than housing offers:

“You can totally find a room for $800! Just will have more than a few roomies, so be warned,” one woman wrote. “Also, and I apologize if this is inappropriate, but umm ... boyyyy you fine!”

Others got real bold and straight-up proposed to Munir:

The post had 363 “likes” at last count and got plenty of media attention. Munir said he never expected such an “enthusiastic” response when he wrote the listing.

“It was pretty overwhelming,” he told HuffPost. “I wrote it and the next day I wake up and I see my post has been inundated with messages and it’s reached a number of blogs locally and internationally. I found it hilarious! The Internet is really an unpredictable place.”

Though people have been “very helpful and kind” in helping Munir look for a room, he’s still mulling over his housing options.

And to answer the question on seemingly everyone’s minds: Yes, your boy is single.

“I’m single but trying to focus on my career at the moment,” he told HuffPost.

Willie Nelson Lights Up Toby Keith's New Marijuana Ditty 'Wacky Tobaccy'

Toby Keith knows you can’t do a country song about cannabis without having Willie Nelson involved in some capacity.

On Thursday, the country superstar released “Wacky Tobaccy,” a ditty about the joys of smoking marijuana ― the real stuff the lyrics emphasize, not the synthetic kind.

Although Keith has collaborated with Nelson before, the Red-Headed Stranger only appears on camera this time.

“Willie Nelson’s in the video. He didn’t sing on it, but he’s in the video,” Keith told News OK, adding that he favors legalizing pot because “if you drink liquor you ought to be able to smoke weed.”

No word on whether Keith mentioned this to Donald Trump when they visited Saudi Arabia together back in May.

The complete clip can be seen below, including a few scenes of Nelson blowing smoke ― a lot of smoke ― into Keith’s face.

Not everyone is high on the song.

Lorie Liebig, a columnist for Wide Open Country, thinks the song is Keith’s “lame attempt to stay relevant.”

“What could have been a fun and fresh collaboration with Willie Nelson just seems like a cheap way of keeping people interested,” she wrote. “Watching him stroll out of the bathroom with a blunt in hand feels like they are using him for a laugh instead of his talents.”

Deer Caught On Camera Engaging In Bizarre 'Slap Fight'

Oh, deer.

A bizarre “slap fight” between two bucks in Tennessee is now getting lots of hits on the Internet.

This “Battle of the Bambis” was filmed earlier this week in Hardeman County, Tennessee, by Amy and Bubba Spencer, two trail officers for the Tennessee Wildlife Resources Agency.

The video shows both bucks standing on their hind legs, trying to smack their opponents with their front hooves in a battle for dominance.

It looks a little weird, but TWRA officials said the animals fight this way because their antlers are still growing and very sensitive this time of year.

When the antlers get stronger near the fall, the bucks will start using them instead of standing up and hoofing it like in this video, according to WATE TV.

The “slap fight” may look super awkward to humans, but it’s actually quite vicious, according to WBIR TV.

The hooves are extremely sharp and can do some damage if they hit the right ― or wrong ― spot.

So far, the video has been viewed more than 200,000 times since being posted, suggesting that buck battles are near and dear to the hearts of many.

These Comics Will Ring True If You've Ever Dated Someone Younger

Age ain’t nothin’ but a number ― until you start dating someone younger and then suddenly everyone has an opinion.

Artist Cassandra Calin, a 22-year-old who is currently in a relationship with a younger guy, captures the highs and lows of this dynamic in a new comic series for College Humor.

“This is the first series I’ve done where I introduce my boyfriend and our relationship,” Calin, who is based in Montreal, told HuffPost.

The artist says her boyfriend enjoys teasing her about the age difference. (We’ve asked what the age difference is but haven’t heard back yet.)

“He enjoys reminding me that when I turn 30, he’ll still be in his 20s,” she told HuffPost. “And sometimes he calls me ‘granny Cassandra’, especially when my joints crack out of the blue.”

Check out the rest of the relatable moments below. To see more of Calin’s work, visit her website, Tumblr, Facebook or Instagram.

Here's A List Of Every Single Trump Lie Since He Took Office

It’s easier to count the days President Donald Trump hasn’t lied.

A New York Times editorial says the president has only managed to be falsehood free 39 total days in his first sixth months in office.

Authors David Leonhardt and Stuart A. Thompson listed every single lie the president has said since taking office six months ago. They say Trump started his administration with a 40-day lying streak, only managing to go fib-free for the first time on March 1.

They set a conservative bar for what constitutes a lie, but say Trump’s “long pattern of using untruths to serve his purposes, as a businessman and politician, means that his statements are not simply careless errors.”

As this Twitter post points out: The font in the article is very, very small.

Speechless. NYT has cataloged Every. Single. Trump. Lie. (Yes, this is every lie in a very, very tiny font size) https://t.co/nko0RW2OfA pic.twitter.com/VNKOnfn3ev
— Kyle Griffin (@kylegriffin1) June 23, 2017

“I wasn’t a fan of Iraq. I didn’t want to go into Iraq,” states the first Trump quote listed posted on Jan. 21. The latest one, dated June 21 is “Right now, we are one of the highest-taxed nations in the world.”

Yes, we know. It’s highly likely Trump will be adding to this list while you’re reading through this collection.

In the meantime, take a look back and at some of the more egregious falsehoods made by the president:

Jan. 25: “Now, the audience was the biggest ever. But this crowd was massive. Look how far back it goes. This crowd was massive.”

March 22: “NATO, obsolete, because it doesn’t cover terrorism. They fixed that.”

April 18: “The fake media goes, ‘Donald Trump changed his stance on China.’ I haven’t changed my stance.”

May 4: “Nobody cares about my tax return except for the reporters.”

Friend Of Late ‘Toy Story’ Writer Reveals Andy’s Heartbreaking Backstory

Two days after the friend of a late “Toy Story” writer revealed a previously untold and devastating story about Andy’s dad, another Pixar writer lashed out on Twitter calling it “utterly” false.

Let’s back up. This week, YouTuber Jonathan Carlin of Super Carlin Brothers published his video interview with Mike Mozart, a toy designer who was friends with Joe Ranft, the Pixar head writer who co-wrote “Toy Story.”

According to Carlin’s interview, which went viral this week, Mozart said Ranft had revealed to him why Andy’s dad was suspiciously absent from the film over lunch. Mozart told HuffPost that he had met Ranft through his work in toy design. Their conversation about Andy’s backstory took place over a decade ago, he said, before Ranft died in 2005.

Andrew Stanton, who was on the writing staff with Ranft for the first two “Toy Story” films, debunked the alleged backstory on Twitter Saturday with a simple hashtag that claimed, ”#Iwasthere.”

Complete and utter fake news. Everyone go back to your homes. Nothing to see here, folks. #Iwasthere https://t.co/06j37YKKt2
— andrew stanton (@andrewstanton) June 24, 2017

Ranft’s story, as Mozart recalled to Carlin, goes like this: Andy’s father is also named Andy. He was the original owner of the Woody doll. As a kid, Andy Sr. was poor, bullied and a huge fan of the TV show “Woody’s Roundup.” He was also the only kid in the world who had Woody, which he received after writing a letter to a cereal company, because the doll was the sole prototype of a marketing gimmick that had been cut short after Woody’s TV show was cancelled. (This theory would explain why Woody was considered so rare in the sequel.)

Then, Andy Sr. contracted polio and nearly all of his toys ― except for Woody, Slinky and Mr. Potato Head ― were burned as a result. He eventually recovered from the disease, grew up, got married and had a son who he named after himself. Later in life, Andy Sr. was diagnosed with a fatal case of post-polio syndrome. On his deathbed, Andy Sr. asked his son to retrieve a chest from the attic. By the time Andy Jr. returned with the chest, his father had already died.

Andy Jr. opened the chest with a key left to him by his father after the funeral. Inside was Mr. Potato Head, Slink and, of course, Woody.

— Mike Mozart (@JeepersMedia) June 24, 2017

The video of Mozart and Carlin went viral and eventually caught the attention of Stanton.

Stanton on Saturday refuted Mozart’s claim that Ranft had a secret backstory by tweeting a link to a news article about Mozart’s interview and calling it, “Complete and utter fake news.” However, Stanton’s tweet did not specify what was fake about the interview and representatives for Stanton and Pixar did not immediately return HuffPost’s request for clarification.

Mozart, for his part, stands by the retelling of his conversation with Ranft.

“It’s not a theory,” Mozart told HuffPost. “The story is as told to me by Joe Ranft about 12 to 14 years ago over lunch.”

Mozart said that Ranft was so animated and passionate when detailing Andy’s dad’s life that he believed the Pixar writer had created the storyline, at least in his head, for a good deal of time.

When asked if he was upset by Stanton’s tweet, Mozart said no, adding that Stanton “never said [Ranft’s story for Andy’s dad] was a lie.”

And while Ranft is unfortunately unable to back up Mozart’s claim, one thing is certain: That backstory for Andy is truly heartbreaking.

Watch Carlin’s full video with Mozart below.
