Woman Refuses to Name Baby After Late Father-in-Law After Husband Suggests His Ex's Name
One woman says her husband has offered a couple of options for names for their baby: one, after his ex, and another, after his late father
In a post shared to Reddit, she writes: "I'm not too enthusiastic about naming my baby after my father-in-law after figuring out that my husband is still thinking about his past"
Now, she's taking to the internet to seek adviceA woman who is currently pregnant says her husband wants to name the child after his recently passed father — but she isn't interested.
In a post published on Reddit, the woman writes that her husband's father passed away while she was pregnant — and he immediately added his name to the list of those they should consider for their child.
"Before I knew the gender of our baby, he suggested that if it's a girl.... Baby should be named 'Ashley.' And I'm not too fond of commonly used names so it never sat right with me anyway, but turns out his ex's name was Ashley," she writes.
"Turns out I'm having a baby boy and now all of my in-laws are depending on me to name my baby after my husband's recently deceased father (it's been like a month)," she continues. "Putting all emotions to the side.... I'm not too enthusiastic about naming my baby after my father-in-law after figuring out that my husband is still thinking about his past."
"I kinda feel like I'm being selfish as well as he is being selfish..... But I feel extremely disrespected that he was going to dishonor our family by naming my baby after some random girl. Advice please?" she adds.

Writes one commenter: "No one would enjoy being strong-armed into a pick with no concern to their feelings. And if it was a name of an ex? Yeah... that's a huge disrespect."
"I'd actually tell him he lost his naming [privileges] when he honest to God believed he could get away with naming a child after his ex. Talk about poor [judgment] and neanderthal thought process," added another.

Paramount Faces a Talent Rebellion, and Their Target Is Trump's D**k
For more than a decade, Donald Trump's media critics have tried various attack lines against the president. They've endlessly described him as a corrupt authoritarian who is a threat to democracy and our institutions. They've decried him as cruel, vulgar, sexist and racist. They have even claimed he's the return of Hitler. None of this unending avalanche of resistance seems to make a bit of difference to Trump's popularity. All those late night jokes, well-reasoned media essays and perfectly honed sarcastic tweets? All those reporters digging around for dirt and quoting Trump's once-trusted insiders who turned against him? Nothing sticks — much to the frustration of many. More from The Hollywood Reporter White House Slams 'South Park' as "Desperate" for Attention After Unflattering Depiction of Trump Colbert Teases Trump After Name Reportedly Listed in Epstein Files: "Mystery Man Known Only as Micropenis DJT" 'South Park' Lampoons Trump in Shocking Season 27 Premiere as Creators Ink $1.5 Billion Deal So it is perhaps understandable — even refreshing and certainly hilarious — that this week, the anti-Trump voices in the media seemed to collectively throw up their hands and decide: Let's just make fun of this guy's dick. On Monday, The Daily Show's Jon Stewart blasted parent company Paramount Global for caving to Trump's demand for a 60 Minutes settlement and canceling The Late Show With Stephen Colbert by saying, 'Maybe it's the path of least resistance for your $8 billion merger to kill a show that you know rankled a fragile and vengeful president who's so insecure that he's suffering terribly from a case of chronic penis insufficiency.' On Wednesday, Colbert himself weighed in: 'An official familiar with the [Epstein] documents said they contain hundreds of other names … names like Donald Trump, Donald John Trump, Donald J. Trump … and a mystery man known only as micropenis DJT.' Then late Wednesday, South Park dropped the thermonuclear bomb of tiny-dick joke savagery in the form of an AI-generated video showing an all-too-realistic obese and sweating Trump wandering through the desert, stripping off his clothes and exposing a tiny, deformed talking penis. The history of mocking Trump's dick is, of course, quite long (unlike some things, amiright?). It's not remotely a new joke. It might even be unfair (Stormy Daniels famously described Trump's dick as 'smaller than average' but 'not freakishly small,' for whatever that's worth). But one thing we know for sure is that such jabs bother Trump. During a 2016 debate, Trump defensively said: 'Look at those hands, are they small hands? [Marco Rubio] referred to my hands — 'If they're small, something else must be small.' I guarantee you there's no problem.' To which we were all relieved that the next leader of the free world had a sizable disco stick. In case anyone thought Trump's sensitivity on this issue might have lessened since then, the White House quickly issued a statement on last night's South Park. Assistant Press Secretary Taylor Rogers drew the short straw (so to speak) and had to be the one to tell reporters that the animated comedy 'hasn't been relevant for over 20 years and is hanging on by a thread with uninspired ideas in a desperate attempt for attention,' and added that the popularity of such content 'continues to hit record lows.' Of course, companies routinely make $1.5 billion five-year deals to renew shows, which are unpopular and irrelevant, that's how business works. But it's interesting to see three talents zeroing in on Trump's crotch at the same time and, of course, what's particularly interesting is they're all part of Paramount Global — which is facing an open rebellion over its handling of the 60 Minutes lawsuit, coupled with canceling Stephen Colbert's Late Show. The company is on the verge of completing its $8 billion merger with Skydance Media and perhaps that's the only thing its C-suite cares about. But it's been an incredibly messy process, resulting in plenty of hard feelings, which could have further consequences. Colbert and Stewart, certainly, will continue to open fire right up the ladder for the foreseeable future. And in the media business, the only thing that matters more than money is your reputation, and over the past few months, Paramount's reputation has gotten a lot smaller — smaller than average, certainly, if not freakishly small.

A classic Sunny takes on Cybertrucks and slap fights
[Editor's note: The A.V. Club will return to recap this season's finale on August 20.] It's Always Sunny In Philadelphia has gifted fans dozens of the dumbest schemes in the history of television. In fact, if you had to say what this show was about more than anything else, it would probably be five idiots doing damage control after their very bad ideas explode in their faces. Whether they're making Kitten Mittens, collecting Philly's trash, or solving the gas crisis, the Paddy's Pub Gang has a unique ability to take get-rich-quick schemes and set them on fire. And in 'Thought Leadership: A Corporate Conversation,' writers Charlie Day and Rob Mac use viral subjects like slap fighting and Tesla's Cybertruck to concoct a very funny episode that feels both classic Sunny and current. An alternate title for this week's episode could have been 'The Gang Has Watched Too Much Succession.' The HBO hit isn't directly name-checked, but that booming score sure sounds a lot like Nicholas Brittell's compositions on the multiple Emmy winner. They've actually been watching a bunch of clips of a corporate retreat in Idaho, leading to some fantastic misinterpretations of 'business speak,' including Mac saying nonsense like 'hammer down our brand identity and come out open commando' and Charlie thinking the sacrificial lamb was actual meat and also suggesting they use other animals than a 'scapegoat' like maybe a 'fall fish' or a 'scapefish' or a 'fall bird'—and then we're back to Dee. (Charlie Day is spectacular in this episode.) The YouTube rabbit hole of Idaho corporate training also allows people like Dennis and Mac to say phrases that mean just about nothing, like, 'First and foremost, the business must be protected at all times.' The current concern is a reporter in Paddy's Pub who Frank believes is there because they dumped 500 gallons of baby oil and 200 Paddy's Pub T-shirts into the Schuylkill River. How did that happen? Flashback time! 'Paddysgate' started several weeks ago when Frank found a jug out back, arguably the dumbest inciting event for one of his schemes to date. After arguing over how to musically use the jug, and a bit of clawing each other's faces, the Gang got their own individual jugs, but they were full of water. How do you get rid of water? Charlie insists it can't be used to clean the bar and it's probably not smart to start a fire, so they begin the slow process of drinking it and talk about the art of braising, evidence disposal, baby oil, and even the Cybertruck. And then there's the big question of 2025: 'What are your thoughts on slap fighting?' After a few days of slapping within the group, Mac has a business idea: 'professional slap fighting.' They stage these bouts in the bar, which attracts a crowd. But the gang has never come up with a good idea they couldn't destroy, often through their horniness. So Dennis gives an amazing speech about how slap fighting isn't erotic enough and turns it into a pitch about an unfulfilled future: 'We were promised women going wild.' Before you know it, Paddy's has moved from burly dudes to bikinis and baby oil, although most of the women don't go for the latter. And to entice a higher quality of contestant, they decide to give away a prize: a Cybertruck. But they become obsessed with Elon's dumb car and decide they want to keep it for themselves, forcing Dee to become a ringer in the competition. It might have worked if Charlie hadn't fallen back on some bad habits. He goes to find the Waitress (Day's wife, Mary Elizabeth Ellis), offering to 'oil' her so she can win the car. And there's a truly funny exchange in which she asks if he's stalking her again. 'No, that's not my thing,' he says. 'Flirting maybe.' It's a clever nod to a conversation around the show regarding Charlie's aggressive behavior, especially in early seasons, that also underlines his complete lack of self-awareness. As the Waitress is living in her car, she jumps at the chance to upgrade her domicile, slapping the shit out of Dee before discovering they're not actually giving away a Tesla. When she threatens to go to the police, Frank and company dispose of the evidence, but Charlie reveals that Frank's urgency is because he had crossed the 'girls gone wild' line and was staging an orgy in the basement. After the blame game is complete, the Gang comes up with a 'no comment'—only to discover that the sole customer in Paddy's Pub isn't a reporter. She's the sex worker for Frank's orgy. Stray observations • Never using Elon's actual name is wonderful—you know he would have loved being referred to as something other than 'The Space Nerd'—as is Dee's revelation that she thinks the Cybertruck is ugly. She is not wrong. • Playing 'In the Hall Of The Mountain King' while Dee slaps the sanity out of people is a season highlight. • Charlie has so many good lines this week, including 'They're too dry! And so they don't feel wild!' and 'How do you get the oil out of the baby?' • Mary Elizabeth Ellis has been in at least one episode of every season of It's Always Sunny In Philadelphia, and we still don't know her character's name. The Gang does! They revealed recently on their podcast that not only did she originally have a name they still know but explain why they will probably never reveal it. It's a good watch.
