A mom or dad who adores you will likely adore anything you get them—no matter how shitty the gift is—simply because it came from their beloved child.

Li Hongjun did not usually take selfies. But out in the orange grove, he was not in his usual state of mind. It was early February, and the lunar New Year was approaching. It’s considered good luck to set out a bowl of oranges during the Chinese holiday, so Li, figuring he could use some luck, decided to buy some for his restaurant, the Jade Tea Farmhouse, located on a dusty road in little-known Wuhua County, population 1.3 million, in Guangdong Province.

Babies and small children, unfortunately, are ill-equipped to fully appreciate Christmas. Their little hands can’t hold things, nor can they grasp the concept of gifts.

As Americans prep for Thanksgiving, Pictorial has decided to honor our communal gorging by taking a look at promotional recipe pamphlets of days gone by.

Tom Hooper’s The Danish Girl is blatant Oscar bait and it knows it.

Actor, rapper, and TED talks enthusiast Will Smith has earned a reputation for his very public thirst for knowledge, repeatedly insisting in his interviews that he is smart and intellectually curious.

Finally, an important gender gap is closing. No, that that pesky pay gap, you know the one that will close in a short 118 years , but rather the alcohol gap.

The trend is driven in large part by college students, more women admitted to “binge drinking” (five or more drinks in a row) than their male counterparts.

Hello, it’s Adele. She was wondering if after all of these days you had bought “25,” because everyone else has. According to Billboard, “25” has broken the single-week U.S. sales record in only three days.

Earlier today, Chicago officials released a dashcam video showing the brutal shooting death of 17-year-old Laquan McDonald. The video was released after a judge ordered the footage be released to the public.

Following her separation from Ryan Sweeting, Big Bang Theory’s Kaley Cuoco has covered up the tattoo she got to commemorate their marriage—Roman numerals of their wedding date—with a big ass moth. METAMORPHOSIS, ya dig???

Christmas is only a month away, so don’t forget to stock up on this year’s hottest toy: it’s a squish balls that look vaguely like herpes sores named Bunchems, and their primary claim to fame is that they’ll get stuck in your kids’ hair forever.

This week’s Botched season finale features a patient named Penny who loves to wear corsets. “It might shift your floating ribs a little bit. It’ll move your organs,” she says. But that’s, like, nothing major.

Two Austrian tabloids are claiming that a 17-year-old Viennese girl who ran away last year with a friend to join ISIS was beaten to death by members of the terrorist group.

As you hash out your Black Friday attack plan, remember some of the deals you’re getting aren’t actually deals.

Let’s imagine you work at a company. It’s a pretty good company, good enough that it decides, after much talk, to move to a bigger, fancier office. This office is much-heralded by those who have created it. And yet, it is still an office. It still has flaws, like any living, breathing thing.
