An angry outburst at a Bay Shore, Long Island bagel store has gone viral after a teenage girl recorded 5' Chris Morgan ranting about women, and the way women treat men of his short stature. Morgan behaves aggressively in the video, eventually challenging a bystander to "step outside" with him. The bystander, towering over Morgan, ends up tackling the angry dude, and the video ends. Later, on Instagram Live, the girls behind the viral video explain that Morgan believed the women behind that counter of the bagel store had been smirking at him, and that this impression had caused his unhinged explosion. 

People on Twitter and Instagram have been eating this content up, responding with memes and a whole lot of short jokes. It's clear that Morgan has a chip on his vertically challenged shoulder, but his contempt for humanity seems to go beyond women. As seen on Ebaum's World, his Youtube Channel is exactly you'd expect. In now-deleted videos (they violated Youtube's terms of service) he uploads anti-semitic content. In other videos, which you can view below, he refers to women as gold-digging b*tches and gleefully leaves a date without a ride after she says she doesn't want to go home with him.

Jokes and memes aside, people like Chris Morgan need help. But he doesn't see it that way. In an interview with the Daily Mail, he touts himself as Martin Luther King of short people. 'I have a mission. The girls hate me, they don't like me, that's fine,' he added. 'I'm not stopping and the world is going to hear me. I want equality for everybody. ' Good luck, bro.

The NYPD's search for 29 year old Desmond 'Etika' Amofah has come to a tragic end. The New York Police Department confirmed earlier today that a body found in the East River was that of the allegedly troubled Youtuber. The police began searching for the popular live-streamer on June 20th following Amofah's disappearance, and before that, the uploading of a chilling video in which he revealed his suicidal thoughts. Many fans were hopeful that this was a moment of  being "overdramatic," similar to a stunt he had pulled in 2018.Things began taking a less hopeful turn when his belongings were recovered, scattered around the Manhattan Bridge. 

Following news of Etika's demise, many peers and fans took to Twitter and Youtube to share their shock, stories of happier times, and to implore people to pay attention to mental health.

Dogs in New York City aren't allowed on the subway unless they fit into bags, so in typical New York fashion, people are improvising - by putting their big dogs into even bigger bags. We're sure that the authorities are thrilled about the level of sneaky creativity that people have been employing!

Refinery29 probably made a bad call with publishing this article in their series entitled Money Diaries, which chronicles how the Millennial woman budgets her "hard-earned" money. In this particular installment, R29 interviews a 21-year-old college student and marketing intern living in New York City who makes $25 per hour and can somehow still afford to have a little extra cash left over after she pays the bills.

Sounds like a pretty typical Millennial life, right? Well sure, until you learn that said marketing intern has rich parents who pay her rent, phone bill and health insurance costs. Needless to say, the internet is absolutely raging about this spoiled rich girl's lavish lifestyle.

Oh look, a completely preventable disease is on the rise once again, and this time it's reared its ugly face in New York City. Come on, WTF people...it's kind of surreal that in 2019 we're still having to convince some that the measles vaccine is safe, effective and doesn't cause autism. Accordingly, the city of New York will require unvaccinated individuals to get the MMR vaccine or pay a $1,000 fine.

 Many outraged individuals have taken to Twitter to express their frustration with the anti-vax movement, and we're here for the sass that's ensued.

How do you all feel about public displays of affection? Antoni Porowski of Queer Eye doesn't seem to enjoy it. The show's resident "food guy" was seated next to actress Kate Beckinsale and SNL's Pete Davidson at a New York Rangers game when the two seemed more interested in tonsil hockey than the actual sport. Photos of his perplexed look as the lovebirds made out has inspired many relatable memes and reaction. Here are our favorites.

New York City's subway system is notoriously horrible. The MTA offers a melange of inconvenient construction, public defecation, constant delays, and even controversial line closures. Commuters battle with rats, garbage, dancing youths and sometimes even violent passengers. Unfortunately, not every subway saga is as adorable as pizza rat. Vice writer Sara David has opened our eyes to a whole new world of public transportation psychosis. A ludicrous tale involving rush hour and hard-boiled eggs. Brace yourselves - this tale ain't pretty.

Seattle-based Amazon announced its plans for HQ2 today, stating that its two new locations will be based in Queens, New York and Arlington, Virginia. In honor of such a momentous occasion, we're bring you some excellent Amazon and Jeff Bezos memes for you to get your fill.

Brooklyn has long been known for its trendy food scene, offering up unicorn lattes, rainbow bagels, and the bizarre raindrop cake. New York City in general stakes its claim as a destination for pizza, bagels, and of course - pastrami sandwiches. Brooklyn is not, however, known for its barbecue. And Twitter was very quick to remind Vice's Munchies of this fact after they tweeted a very sad plate of meat from Williamsburg's Fette Sau restaurant. The tweets of shame and the parodies are very, very entertaining. 

It's that time of year again, and the costumes (as usual) have been impressive. Sure we care about the panels, but first - the fun. We're honestly surprised there weren't more Harley Quinns.
