Waiting for something to come from the internet is one of those 21st century hardships that will never improve. Sometimes you're lucky if your package comes in one piece or the homeless dude that sleeps by the art cooperative down the street doesn't steal it. Some unfortunate schmuck in a rural area has the worst USPS deliver person in the world, and he or she has been documenting the careless drop offs.

• Lady Gaga.

Lady Gaga's Born This Way Foundation was designed "to foster a more accepting society, where differences are embraced and individuality is celebrated," according their website.

A breakdown of BTWF's 2012 tax report by Roger Friedman for Showbiz 411 reveals the foundations lack of grants to organizations and individuals in comparison to the $2.1 million in net assets the foundation claimed.

I wonder what spending $50,000 on social media gives you in return. Or how many ornate and freakishly over the top outfits/costumes and head gear Lady Gaga could buy with $808,661 spent on "other."

BTWF's President Cynthia Germanotta, Lady Gaga's mom, spent $150,000 on philanthropic consulting but only $5,000 on actual grants for organizations and individuals who are trying to make society more accepting.

Holy g-string, Batman!

Unfortunately, Australia didn't get the hero they deserve. But they do get crazy criminals that wear little to no clothing. A South Wales news station reports that police caught and charged a 35-year-old man for sneaking into a thrift store and stealing a Batman cape and cowl. The near nude cape crusader lived in the neighborhood, and the thrift store was across the street from a police station.

His outfit complete, the thong-clad crimefighter proceeded to strut around the store’s backyard for 40 minutes, apparently unaware that his every move was being recorded. “He didn’t look too bad in it either,” store owner Michelle Rowe told 7News. At one point, the man even carried around a Batman doll.

Last night my newsfeed on Facebook was riddled with videos of my friends chugging a beer and nominating two or three other friends to respond with a video chug of their own within 24 hours. As these chug nominations continue to spread like a bad case of herpes all over Facebook, there is a growing concern about the dangers of this trend, which has already claimed lives of participants across the globe.

These chug nominations, better known throughout social media as NekNominations, appears to have originated in Australia as a new drinking game encouraging friends to out do their nominator by excessive drinking or committing other heinous actions. The name of the game comes from the Australian term "necking," which in America translates to chugging your drink to the finish.

According to CNN, what started as a fun drinking game turned fatal for at least five men under 30 years old.

As this trend spreads to the University of Arizona, many are worried that this game will escalate past chugging one beer and lead to more alcohol related deaths.

Ryan Cummins, 22, and John Byrne, 19, are believed to have died this weekend in Ireland as a direct result of the Neknomination craze.

Cummins was found unconscious in his Dublin home before he later died in the hospital. Reports suspect that he was drinking spirits, better known as liquor is the US and Canada, until passing out. Byrne jumped into the river at Milford Bridge in County Carlow and drowned in his attempts to fulfill his nomination.

One beer may be an innocent way to call out your friends but what happens when nominations turn into chugging a whole fifth of liquor and performing a stunt that is already dangerous before incorporating excessive amounts of alcohol?

This game is so popular a Facebook user created a page to archive these videos called "Neknominate Videos," where you can share your own ridiculous video and view other nominations from all over the world.

Submissions range from entry level one beer chugs in dorm rooms to ridiculous combinations of liquor varying in size from a pint to a whole beer bong of booze. Some people take it to the extreme by drinking out of toilet bowls and pouring cocktails with dead mice, live animals and insects, motor oil, battery acid and even dog food.

Andrew Calder, 24, downed a pint sized glass of vodka and lemonade that included his goldfish named Soldier in the UK.

Nikki Hunter, the mother of 19 year old Keiren, posted pictures of her son covered in vomit and unconscious on their sofa after completing a nomination where he drank a combination of vodka, whiskey, Southern Comfort and Bacardi.

Other videos include costumes like Ronald McDonald or Batman but all videos follow a consistent theme: recklessly drink alcohol in the most obscene fashion possible.

Chris Kingman is a diehard Denver Broncos fans, one of those guys that says "we" when speaking of his favorite professional football team.

Needless to say, he was crushed when the Broncos got bent over and taken to town by the Seattle Seahawks on Sunday night during Super Bowl XLVIII, losing 43-8. But the pain Kingman felt extended far beyond just the game itself.

It's now permanently etched behind his left shoulder, where Kingman has what now is a heavy favorite for the most unfortunate tattoo of all time.

I've never been to a Super Bowl party before tonight. I don't really care who wins or loses. I'm mostly interested in getting together with some people, eating some food and catching the half-time show in the hope of a wardrobe malfunction. (It's doubtful Bruno Mars or the Red Hot Chili Peppers will have any problems, but one can hope, right?)

According to a Public Religion Research Institute survey, there's a good number of Americans out there who believe God will help their Super Bowl team. Lots of rituals and prayers going on today. I'm just praying that someone makes some of that Cheeze Wiz crockpot dip I had ages ago at a potluck. Haven't had it since, but seems like perfect for a Super Bowl party. Those little weenies in BBQ sauce always seem to be a big hit too, except with my vegan friends.

From the Institute:

Even though only 3 percent of Americans identify as fans of the Baltimore Ravens (1 percent) or San Francisco 49ers (2 percent), 66 percent of Americans are likely to tune in to Super Bowl XLVII, including 42 percent who say they seldom or never watch sports, a new survey finds.

Nearly 3-in-10 (27 percent) Americans believe that God plays a role in determining which team wins sports events, according to the January Religion and Politics Tracking Survey, conducted by Public Religion Research Institute during the weekend of the National Football League conference championship games. A majority (53 percent) of Americans also agree that God rewards athletes who have faith with good health and success, compared to 42 percent who disagree.

“In an era where professional sports are driven by dollars and statistics, significant numbers of Americans see a divine hand at play,” said Dr. Robert P. Jones, PRRI CEO. “Roughly 3-in-10 Americans believe that God plays a role in determining which team wins, and a majority believe that God rewards faithful athletes.”

Americans in the South are most likely to think God has a stake in the outcome of sports games. More than one-third (36 percent) of Southerners say that God plays a role in who wins, compared to nearly 3-in-10 (28 percent) Americans in the Midwest, 1-in-5 (20 percent) of Americans in the Northeast, and 15 percent of Westerners.

For the longest time, I've looked at the things said by Three Sonorans scribe D.A. Morales with confusion and, often, amusement — after all, one can only read so many varieties of "white people are the worst" so many times before it gets old. I stopped keeping track of him some time after he decided to depart from the Interwebs for a while at the beginning of last year, in keeping with his apparent wishes.

Sure, he continues to rail against the "Weakly" (side-note: do people still think they're clever when they use that insult? It's older than I am, guys) when he gets the chance, and yeah, he still thinks white people are the devil (even Terry Goddard hates brown people, apparently), but I can see where he's coming from: a corner of the Internet where brown people can do no wrong, lest they disagree with him.

Still, even after tempering myself with all that he's previously written, the Chicano crusader of all-things-race-related made me slam my head against my desk when I read this lovely bit of false-equivalency:

• Facebook

Everyone's guilty of checking their Facebook feed or responding to a text that could wait until you're done operating a two ton for wheel death mobile. Sometimes we forget how life threatening it is to check your phone while you drive, and that's why Michael James Woody Jr. is our "Don't be that driver" of the day.

Michael James Woody Jr., 23, of Fort Myers, was cited for careless driving and texting while driving after crashing and rolling his car on Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard. At the time, he was being followed by an FMPD officer due to his erratic driving, according to a crash report from the department.

Some background: Blake Collins (disclosure: a friend, plus I officiated his wedding) wrote a one-star Yelp review of the new World of Beer location downtown. He's not the only person to give the place a bad review (nine of the fifteen reviews are one or two stars, although, to be fair, there are four five star reviews), but the fact that Blake works at the nearby Good Oak Bar seemed to upset whoever holds the keys to the WOB Facebook account, so this went public on Saturday night:

BLAKE C...show your face little girl...anyone know this little diaper boy? We gotta start calling these little girls out! Our owners and managers, all from Tucson, work to bring hundreds of beers here, and work with our local brewers to bring dozens of beers that this little sissy has never seen and this little un-potty trained kid has gotta hate on us and try to bring our friends like Tap & Bottle into the fold? Who is this little girl that hates job creators and local beer?

It didn't take long for a stream of confused comments to follow (including mine, remarking on the fact that we were witnessing a social media trainwreck in real time), but any comment that was even mildly negative or perplexed was quickly deleted. In my case, my comment was expunged and I was blocked from World of Beer's page. The only comment that did seem to stay online was one from someone who offered to punch Blake in the face if World of Beer would give him a job. In fact, World of Beer Tucson "liked" that remark. After a while, the whole thread was deleted, seemingly never to be acknowledged again.

I don't have much room to talk about responding emotionally on Facebook (although I did leave my post up, for what that's worth), and yes, I understand the feeling when someone seemingly bad-mouths your employer when they may have a conflict of interest, but nearly all of the ways of going about addressing that sort of thing would be better than a somewhat misogynist rant (and one with a relatively limited vocabulary insult-wise as well...we get it, diapers, baby, potty-training, enough already).

Oddly enough, part of Blake's shot at World of Beer was that it caters to a "bro" audience which the response only works to confirm. There's clearly room for plenty of places to drink downtown serving a variety of audiences and based on everything I've heard, it would appear World of Beer will be fine, but for awhile on Saturday night, it appears they were aiming to discourage people from ever stopping in.
