In the grand scheme of porn tube sites, a video called "Slut Teen Gets Knocked Up by Accidental Creampie," isn't particularly shocking or unusual. But the heartbreaking twist ending to this otherwise pedestrian clip puts even M. Night Shyamalan's earlier work to shame.

The discovery is being called the "smoking gun" for the Big Bang theory, and it could have huge implications for our understanding of our universes (and possible others).

A group is saying that all vehicles that get towed in the parking lot under I-35 around 6th street are being done so illegally.

Texas Towing Compliance says that as many as a thousand cars have been illegally towed from the lot under I-35 between 6th and 8th street. Founder Pat Johnson says the city tells him that J&J towing does not have a contract to tow from that lot, "A towing company has to have written authorization from a parking facility in order to tow vehicles.  In addition, they're required to have a document from the parking facility stating they have installed the correct legal signs.  And we know for a fact those green 'U' channel posts that J&J mounts their signs on that the city didn't install those signs.  And basically, they're just stealing cars right across from the police station."

Johnson says that everyone towed by J&J from those lots since June 2012 is entitled to $1000, triple what they paid to get their vehicle back, plus any cost of repairs for damage caused during the removal and storage.

YOLO doesn’t mean “you only live once.” Where did you hear that? That’s silly. No, YOLO means “you obviously love owls.” I mean, why else would they make an awesome t-shirt that says that? T-shirts never lie. Ever. And owls are obviously awesome too. So make sure to buy this shirt so everyone knows what YOLO actually means–spread the truth, wear this shirt, or there may be consequences. #NOTJOKING

APD has released the names of the victims from Wednesday night's fatal crash on Red River.

According to APD:

The preliminary investigation shows that an Austin Police Officer attempted to make a traffic stop at a Shell gas station at 9^th Street and IH-35 service road. The suspect vehicle did not stop and continued traveling westbound at a high rate of speed on 9^th Street (the wrong way). When the suspect, Rashad Charjuan Owens, black male, D.O.B. 9-30-1992, continued to increase his speed, the Officer followed him. Owens continued driving at a high rate of speed, turning right onto Red River Street, which was barricaded off for pedestrian traffic only for the SXSW Festival. The suspect crashed through the barricades, hitting several pedestrians on Red River Street between 9^th and 11^th Streets. Another Austin Police Officer who was on foot near the scene had to jump out of the way of the suspect vehicle. At the intersection of Red River and 11^th Streets, the suspect hit a moped, a taxi cab and a bicyclist. At some point, the suspect’s vehicle drove onto a sidewalk and also struck a van. Owens then took off on foot and two Austin Police Officers pursued him on foot, tased him and took him into custody. Owens is facing two counts of Capital Murder and multiple counts of Aggravated Assault with a Motor Vehicle. Formal charges are still pending. There were 25 total patients, including the suspect. Two were pronounced deceased at the scene: a female occupant on the moped and a male bicyclist. Names of the deceased are being withheld pending family notifications. Twenty-three additional patients were transported to area hospitals. Currently, two patients are still in critical condition, three patients are in serious condition, three are hospitalized with non-life threatening injuries and 15 were treated and released. Below is the list of the injured; three females and one male have not yet been identified.

Anyone with information regarding this incident is asked to call APD Vehicular Homicide Unit Detectives at (512) 974-5594. This is Austin’s 10^th fatal traffic crash of 2014 and the 12^th and 13^th traffic fatalities of 2014. At this time in 2013, there were 20 traffic fatalities.  

Rashad Charjuan Owens, below, is charged with two counts of capital murder and 23 counts of aggravated assault with a vehicle.

A musician known for her shocking outfits and behavior, may have set a new low last night in Austin.

Lady Gaga took the stage last night at Stubb's for South by Southwest...and most of her show went about they way her fans would expect, but things took a turn during her song "Swine".

That's when self-described "vomit-painter" Millie Brown got on stage drank a bottle of neon green liquid and proceeded to make herself vomit all over Lady Gaga. The crowd seemed to take it in stride.
