2018: The year in Internet Boyfriends

TwitterFacebook

Like porn, Internet Boyfriends are hard to define — but also like porn, you know them when you see them. And 2018 was downright lousy with them.

Some were fresh faces we’d never encountered before. (Well, most of us. We see you, Lady Who’s Been Crushing On Winston Duke Since Person of Interest.) Others were guys we’d known about for years, but started seeing in a whole new light. And still more were dudes we already loved, but somehow came to love even more within the past 12 months.

What unites them is the way they brought so many of us together in 2018. These guys weren’t just our crushes, they were everyone’s crushes, and we collectively got personally invested in a way we don’t for just any pretty, famous face.  Read more…

The #M’BakuChallenge is taking off, but this 7-year-old already won

TwitterFacebook

Actor Winston Duke may have been one of the highlights of Black Panther but now, it’s his character with a formidable Nigerian accent that’s stealing all the attention online. 

Welcome to the #M’BakuChallenge, a tribute of sorts to the Jabari tribe leader M’Baku, played by Duke in Black Panther. It’s pretty simple: Twitter users have recreated the dialogue from M’Baku’s introductory scene and have filmed their own versions. The results are surprisingly accurate and hilarious—but it’s the kids that have taken the spotlight.
