A Chinese woman bought a $6.5 million dollar apartment in NYC for her 2 year old daughter.  She bought this place because she wants her toddler to go to the best schools.  A Picasso painted was sold for $155 million after it was first going to be sold for $139 million.  Before the final sale, the original owner poked a hole in the artwork with his elbow, causing the insurance company to pay $45 million to fix it.  29% of young people say that they plan to live off of their parents for much longer than expected.  They’re also convinced that they will be financially better off than their successful parents.

A study showed that countries most viciously against homosexuality do the most gay porn searching.  Iran topped the list, followed by Kenya.  Time Magazine’s controversial cover pictures that show gay men and women kissing with the declaration that Gay Marriage already won.  A university newspaper published an article about sex positions and preferences in bed, so the school shut down the entire newspaper.  A Biology teacher at a high school has been punished for mentioning the word vagina when teaching reproduction.

Amazon is defending a retailer’s birthday card that uses the word, “cunt.”  People want it taken down, but Amazon is keeping it.  A Brazilian model posted IG pictures of her breastfeeding a calf.

  1. Classic hour and overall show. This makes a month with plenty of well below par shows worth membership. I literally lol’d when Cenk did the 10-2 with his hand motion.

  4. This was one of the best 2nd hours in years I think. However, is it really that hard to say cunt? This is the goddamn internet. I hate all this “c-word”, “n-word” “f-word” bullshit.

  5. Cenk is making no sense with his characterization of people who buy expensive art. If you spend millions, or tens of millions, or hundreds of millions of dollars on art by famous artists, you are not throwing your money away, you are investing. The guy in the story sold the Picasso for more than the seller paid for it, but I guarantee he will sell it later for even more than that. So what’s the difference between someone that invests in art and someone who invests in Manhattan real estate, or gold, or treasury bonds, or oil futures, or Google stock. Unlike derivatives traders, I doubt we will ever see art investors crash the world economy. And if you like art, then you have the added benefit of having nice art in your house that you like while you’re investing your money. You can definitely make this argument Cenk is making about people who buy million dollar sports cars. That shit ain’t appreciating in value. But art does, and it’s always a good idea to invest in things you know about and are interested in, so if you like art and have millions of dollars, buying art is RATIONAL. That doesn’t mean you shouldn’t tax the rich more, but it can be a smart investment.
