Being a doctor is often looked at as a fancy, glamorous position. After years of school (and debt) many doctors feel their career choice has started to pay off. The reality, according to these stories, proves that medical professionals REALLY deserve the big bucks - and that people really need to stop sticking random objects into their buttholes.

Life is all about grappling with impending doom. Now there's a meme that very seriously depicts life's very real threats. "Butt Slam" predictably features a large woman in mid-air - just as she is about to land on the shirtless and blindfolded man below her. It's being used to describe both dangerous moments in history and dangerous situations in our mundane lives - such as staying awake too long scrolling through Instagram.
Bush did 9/11. The Illuminati control the world. The moon landing was faked. Tom Cruise wore a prosthetic posterior while filming Valkyrie.
We love a good conspiracy theory - and while we're not sure Tom Cruise's suspiciously voluptuous glutes truly belong with the the classics, the controversy is definitely entertaining.
Let's start from the beginning: On August 20th, Twitter user @iluvbutts247 (of course) posted a film still from 2008's Valkyrie featuring Tom Cruise's surprisingly plump rump. The tweet proposes that Cruise donned a fake butt for a single shot. The tweet went viral, and was covered by media publications including Jezebel, NME, and as of today, CNN.
Just over a month later, Tom Cruise dispelled rumors of his padded tush during an interview with Screen Rant, saying "I have no idea. There was no prosthetic in Valkyrie. No.[…]It's me. It's not CGI, it's me. I do my own mooning in films. So let it be known – I do my own mooning." This is somewhat believable - Cruise is known for doing his own stunts - but @iluvbutts247 was quick to respond with skeptcism.
"I think if Tom Cruise wants to sit on prosthetics and call himself thicc, he has the right to give it a try, but there's no requirement that I enjoy sitting here listening to people lie. This ordeal has part of my attention--it has the minimum amount. The rest of my attention is back at the offices of ILuvButts247, where my colleagues and I are doing butt things that no one in Hollywood, including and especially Tom Cruise's flat ass, are physically or thickly capable of doing."
The statement, according to Know Your Meme, is actually a riff on a quote from The Social Network. We may never know if Cruise faked his Kardashian-esque derrière, but the saga has definitely been entertaining. Here are some of the highlights from the most ass-inine debate of the year. See what we did there?
Sometimes someone just comes along and gives us something that we would never have dreamed of, and right now it's this guy right here. He has done us an amazing service by providing his analysis on something we never even knew we needed, something that we are still pretty sure we don't need.
Regardless, it's here and it's indiscriminate of gender. As, in true internet form, this enlightened individual has provided us unnecessary insight into the asses of history.

NSFW WARNING: This lady uses some harsh language and shows some actual bare butt to get her point across.
But really where is the 'Call of Booty' shoutout?..What else do you guys think is missing from this list of amusing, albeit vaguely perverse genius?

When one particularly perturbed Overwatch gamer named Fipps basically flipped the f**k out on a forum over the 'over the shoulder' pose (I mean hey, you're entitled to your own opinion..) the game's director made quick moves to say they'll be removing it in his official statement that reads, "We'll replace the pose. We want *everyone* to feel strong and heroic in our community. The last thing we want to do is make someone feel uncomfortable, under-appreciated or misrepresented. Apologies and we'll continue to try to do better.
And now, the pose in its full and unfettered, and highly controversial glory:
Next, a tidbit from the incendiary monolague unleashed by the outraged Fipps on the actual forum:
“What about this pose has anything to do with the character you’re building in tracer? It’s not fun, its not silly, it has nothing to do with being a fast elite killer. It just reduces tracer to another bland female sex symbol.”“We aren’t looking at a Widowmaker pose here, this isn’t a character who is in part defined by flaunting her sexuality. This pose says to the player base, oh we’ve got all these cool diverse characters, but at any moment we are willing to reduce them to sex symbols to help boost our investment game.”
“I have a young daughter that everyday when I wake up wants to watch the recall trailer again. She knows who tracer is, and as she grows up, she can grow up alongside these characters. What I’m asking is that as you continue to add to the overwatch cast and investment elements, you double down on your commitment to create strong female characters. You’ve been doing a good job so far, but shipping with a tracer pose like this undermines so much of the good you’ve already done.”
What do you think? Are people getting 'butt-hurt' over a badass pose, or what?
