Well, when we first saw this, we thought we all died and went to fast food heaven.

Everyone knows the deal with airplane food; it's generally… horrible. So, when we saw that a Canadian airline, WestJet, was serving McDonald's on its flights, we jumped for absolute joy.

But as it turns out, the airline is only serving Maccy D's coffee. Just a measly cup of coffee. No Big Macs or chicken nuggets or McFlurries in sight.

It is said to be a 'special' coffee, to counteract with the altitude of the plane, and will be brewed with "slightly hotter water."

Well, that was a big let down.

Amber Heard tearfully discussed the details of her experiences with domestic violence in a powerful video that has since disappeared from the internet.

The video showed the actress emotionally recalling how she felt during the alleged abuse at the hands of her now ex-husband Johnny Depp.

She settled her divorce with Johnny Depp earlier this year after claiming that the actor was "verbally and physically abusive."

In the video, Amber recalls her feelings of shame during the alleged abuse.

"'I guess there was a lot of shame attached to that, the label of victim."

"It happens to so many women you know. When it happens in your home behind closed doors with someone you love, it’s not straightforward. If a stranger did this it would be a no-brainer,'" she said in the video, which was uploaded by the Girl Gaze Project.

The model said that the only way we can start to move forward in preventing domestic violence is if women will come forward.

"You don't have to do it alone. You're not alone, and we can change this."

"Speak up, speak up. Raise your voice, your voice is the most powerful thing and we, together, as women standing shoulder to shoulder cannot and will not any longer accept silence."

The video was released on Friday to mark the International Day for the Elimination of Violence Towards Women.

In a strange turn of events, the video has now been set to private, and a corresponding Facebook post to promote the "public service announcement" has also been erased.

Internet, you have officially gone too far…

Listen, we love quirky and whimsical gifts, but bacon-flavoured products are just… WEIRD.

Recently, we discovered an online store called 'Meat Maniac', which offers an array of bacon-flavoured products, that really should not be bacon-flavoured. 

For those of you that wish to smell like a meaty treat, the store offers bacon-scented SOAP…

Oh, is pork soap not your thing? No worries… perhaps you would prefer some bacon-flavoured toothpaste!

(Please, make it stop).

Keeping those teeth fresh and clean, you can also purchase bacon-flavoured FLOSS… which is honestly just creepy.

Maybe you simply wish to set the mood, or create a romantic ambience? Well, lads… there's a candle for that.

However, the most unusual offering from Meat Maniac is their bacon-flavoured LUBE… yes, lube. 

These products are BACON my heart… (yeah, I went there).

Would you try any of them?

Sexy Halloween costumes are often considered offensive, degrading and downright ridiculous.

If you were happy to see that back of them last month, then look away now, as sexy Christmas costumes are officially a thing.

are you kidding me are you kidding please tell me youre kidding

 

9. 'Under the tree' costume

Seeing beautifully wrapped gifts under the tree has now been tainted for everyone. Thanks for that.

 

8. 'Sexy Christmas lamp' costume

You heard it here first; lamps are officially sexy. Objectification has never been such an accurate term.

 

7. 'Sexy snowman' costume

This one seems harmless enough, until you remember that a snowman is literally a pile of frozen matter. Frosty the Snowman fetishists, rejoice.

 

6. 'Unwrap me like a bow' costume

The first issue that arises with this one is that it looks uncomfortable AF. The second, is that the logistics of getting this one on just seem way too complicated. 

 

5. 'Sexy reindeer' costume

Nothing screams 'Christmas' like a woman dressed as a woodland creature in a skirt with a half-inch inseam. 

 

4. Rude-Olf undies

One for the boys, these novelty Rudolf briefs are the stuff of sexy nightmares.

 

3. 'Under the mistletoe' jumper

The instructions on this jumper elude to an act that would get you arrested if you actually performed it in public. 

 

2. 'Sexy polar bear' costume

The sexualisation of polar bears is just one step too far for us. We'd probably rock the hat, though. 

 

1. The Virgin Mary

You can't unsee this blasphemous costume, which is slowly making us lose faith in humanity.

Prince Harry created a media storm when he released a statement regarding the treatment of his new girlfriend, actress Meghan Markle.

The statement was very emotional, as he addressed the media for treating Meghan with "sexism and racism".

However, it looks like Harry's big brother William is not very happy about the public message.

A source told the Daily Mail: "He thinks Harry made a mistake in confirming the relationship and releasing such an emotional statement so soon.

"William knows that his brother can be hot-headed and understands that it is something he felt very strongly about.

"Privately, he shares a lot of the sentiments he and Meghan expressed as, make no mistake, she was very involved in the statement too."

Let's hope the brothers can find common ground with this one.

Take That zealot Elaine Fairfax made an outlandish €1.2 million bid in the hopes of winning a private serenading from the band's remaining members. 

The bid was made in a competition on The Chris Evans Breakfast Show in aid of the charity Children In Need.

The 45-minute gig will cost the super-fan a whopping €28,804 per minute.

"Ideally, I’d like it to be just them and me in my kitchen so I can get to know them a bit better," Elaine told the Daily Mail.

The pet insurance entrepreneur originally planned to offer about €600,000, but got carried away in the bidding process.

Elaine, a self-made millionaire, said: "I love them all. I am so, so excited. I just can’t believe it because I’ve always loved them so much."

Elaine has followed the band "since the beginning", and is also a collector of Take That merchandise, including life size cut-outs of the band members.

After appearing on This Morning to talk about her win, Elaine was slammed online for paying such an exorbitant amount, with some viewers claiming she had "more money than sense."

However, other viewers applauded the business woman's philanthropy, reminding fellow tweeters that the money was going to charity.

Hold the phone people, and take a deep breath -because Instagram users are now sent notifications when someone screenshots a picture.

BRB… dying.

Let's be honest, we all do it; but still, we don't want everyone to know that we do it. 

Earlier this week. the photo-sharing app announced that it's going down the Facebook route by introducing live-streaming on the app.

Furthermore, it's also taking a note out of Snapchat's book by allowing its users to send photos that disappear after a few seconds.

But, while all the social media sites seem to be rolling into one (anybody else notice that?), it has been discovered that when people take a screenshot, you will be able to see what picture it was AND when the screenshot was taken.

But, reel your breath back in ladies, because thankfully, it looks like the feature is only for the disappearing photos function and doesn't affect Instagram Stories or your regular IG pics.

Thank GOD, we were having a little freak out there…

Remember when glitter roots were a thing, and we were all totally obsessed?

Well, there is a brand new metallic hair trend sweeping the nation, and it is even prettier than it's glittery counterpart.

People are putting gold and silver tattoo transfers on their hair to create festive looks!

During the week, our favourite Pretty Little Liar, Lucy Hale teamed up with Teen Vogue to demonstrate this gorgeous beauty look… and the results are fabulous.

This amazing hair style can be achieved by cutting shimmery tattoos into strips, scattering them along your parting and dousing with water. 

Simples. 

We really want to give these tats a whirl…

Keep an eye out ladies, because the beaut that is Ed Sheeran is in Ireland at the moment.

Over the last few days, the star has been spotted around our fair green isle, and fans have been snapping him out on the street.

The singer took a break from music this year and previously revealed that he has a connection with Ireland through his grandmother.

According to the Irish Mirror, he was spotted around Belfast during the week but is staying in Dublin for the weekend.

Christmas day is fast approaching, so it's safe to say we're throwing ourselves into anything festive and fun (in other words, we're going to eat and drink our way into an early Christmas coma).

It's safe to say people have gone all-out this year, and between wine advent calendars, gin-filled decorations, gravy candy canes and boozy jam, these concoctions aren't going anywhere.

And the latest to hit our sights is Prosecco mince pies. Mmm hmm, very fancy.

Ode to Host is the creator of these glorious pies and got the idea from soaking the dried fruit in Prosecco.

The soaked fruit is then mixed in with oranges, lemons, limes, almonds, apples, spices, a dash of brandy and a sip of sherry, and violá! Absolute perfection.

Oh, and did we mention they are gluten- and wheat-free?! So, if you think you're getting dirty looks from your aunt for chugging back the Rosé, these mince pies will be your little secret weapon to get through the day.

You're welcome.

So, Black Friday is over for another year. And, in the harsh light of the morning after the night before, it’s come to our attention that the shopping extravaganza is not all shoes, bargain dresses and perfume.

Yes, there are some downright wacky items that even the most committed Black Friday shopper would have to question.

Vice Principals  hbo seriously vice principals walton goggins

Here are just some of the quirky pieces that have left us beyond baffled:

1. Quidditch set

Only the most enthusiastic of Harry Potter fans would appreciate a full-sized Quidditch set for Christmas.

The official Warner Bros merchandise is 30 percent-off on Amazon for Black Friday, and could belong to your favourite muggle for only €18.77. Not even Flourish & Blotts would have a deal this good. 

 

2. Will drafting

Feeling morbid? Is the reality of your mortality dawning on you this Black Friday weekend? Then a discounted will-writer could be just the ticket.

Living Social is offering it's members a professional will drafting experience for just €14. Seriously.

 

3. An acre of land on Mars

Yes, you read that correctly. 

The Martian land and development market is clearly in a shambles, as an acre of land on the red planet could be yours for just €12 – that's 48 percent-off! Bargain.  

 

4. Liposuction

Saving up for those pesky cosmetic surgeries can be a bit of a drag. Luckily, the laser lipo-fairy has waved her wand and granted us the gift of thin inner thighs. Well, more like Living Social deals has.

Three sessions of laser liposuction is currently €89 instead of €450 at Dublin Skin and Laser Clinic, Tallaght – a massive saving of 80 percent. 

 

5. A tail

ASOS got a bit of grief for stocking a line of animal tails anatomically scaled for humans.

The Tell Tails range featured dinosaurs, wolves and dragons, but only the leopard appendage is left. Prepare for Halloween a year in advance with ASOS's 20 percent-off discount code, 'GO GO GO'.

 

6. The executive experience

Want to really woo your next Tinder date with a Christian Grey-style experience?

Groupon has found a Charlie Tango just for you and your date, with a 60 percent saving on a helicopter ride and champagne reception for two. The BDSM is optional, of course.

 

7. Pet wig

A pet wig: a wig for your pet, as opposed to a wig you look after and treat as a member of the family.

American pet super store Petco is offering a pretty wacky deal on troll doll wigs for your dog – because the heart wants what it wants. 

 

8. Beard bib

While it's definitely a bit annoying when your other half leaves stray beard hairs in the sink every other morning, the beard bib seems slightly excessive.

But at a saving of 82 percent, your boy can play 'barber' in the bathroom without making a mess. That's one less thing to argue about over the Christmas.
