After pissing off millions of people around the world with his disgusting comments, KISS frontman Gene Simmons issued an apology to people who suffer from depression and comments made about suicide.

Last week, Simmons stated that people suffering from depression should just "go fucking kill themselves." He made that statement shortly after news of Robin Williams death sent shock waves across the globe.
After receiving a shit ton of backlash, he is now apologizing for causing so much pain to his fans and depression sufferers around the world.

Simmons issued the following statement:
"I sincerely apologize to those who were offended by my comments. I recognize that depression is very serious and very sad when it happens to anyone, especially loved ones. I deeply support and am empathetic to anyone suffering from any disease, especially depression.”
While it must make him feel good that he apologized, I doubt anyone in this world forgives him. I for one don't accept his apology.

What has been said, cannot be unsaid. Someone could have killed themselves because of what HE said! Does Gene Simmons understand how depression works? No. Want to know why? He doesn't give two shits because he's rich, lives in a mansion, and swims in a pool filled with money. He doesn't give two shits about us "common folk." In his eyes, we are "beneath him."

He only apologized because his PR people MADE him. He still stands by his disgusting remarks.

Also, look at his track record. He's a misogynist. It is well known that he objectifies women (apparently he has slept with over 4,000 women). He endorses the Republican party. We all know that Republican conservatives are among the most hateful people in the entire world.

Sorry, Gene. You're still a vile monster and until you understand the damage you've done, your apology will always be dog shit. You've lost a lot of fans because of your comments. Hell, I actually know (former) KISS fans who are selling their shit on Ebay because of what you've said about depression sufferers.  You can say "I'm sorry" for the rest of your life, but it doesn't mean shit until you truly understand what you're apologizing for.

Tiny Home Living: Bodega

-

The tiny home movement has been sweeping the country for the past several years. People yearn for the simplicity of living in a tiny home, and with the way the economy is, it is no wonder the movement has grown so immensely. When it comes to tiny homes, you have the mobile tiny homes, where you can take your home anywhere you want to go. You have Yurts, which are incredible tiny homes to put down your roots in. One type of tiny home that is growing in popularity is a Bodega home. The Bodega is a very nice tiny home. The thing that makes the Bodega different than other tiny homes is that it isn't mobile. So if you plan on living in a Bodega home, make sure you have land to build it on. Your Bodega may cost you anywhere from $15,000 to $25,000 to build. On some Bodega homes, you are able to expand the space for an extra bedroom or home office. Bodega homes can be as small as 65sq feet, and as large as 800sq feet.

Why TNT did not air the season premiere of "The Last Ship."

Photo credit: screenrant Fans who were awaiting the season premiere of "The Last Ship" last night were met with disappointment. TNT decided to postpone the season 3 premiere due to the tragedy that took place in Orlando, Florida in the early hours of Sunday morning. At least 50 people died, and another 53 were injured when a gunman opened fire at a popular club in Florida. Season 3 of "The Last Ship" was to open with gunshots being fired at a nightclub full of patrons. TNT has not announced a new premiere date for the season premiere of "The Last Ship." My Two Cents I am really glad that TNT had enough respect to postpone the premiere. Even though I am a fan of the show, I think it would be inappropriate to show an episode involving that subject matter. Thank you, TNT! On a personal note, last night my best friend from college told me that a girl that we went to college with was among the victims of the Pulse tragedy: KJ Morris. I didn...

Photo Credit: ravishly Actor/Fellow Blogger/My First Crush, Wil Wheaton, went on the attack after Paul Ryan sent out his prayers and condolences to the victims of the Church shooting tragedy. Ryan tweeted for a "call to prayer." Wheaton subsequently posted the following in response: "The murdered victims were in a church. If prayers did anything, they'd still be alive, you worthless sack of s**t." After receiving a TON of backlash, Wheaton tried to explain his tweet in a series of later tweets: "Hey, real and actual people of faith: I hear you. I apologise for insulting you, in my rage at Paul Ryan's refusal to address gun violence." He also stated that Paul Ryan is someone who exploits his faith by hiding behind his words without conducting actual good deeds. Wheaton also expressed his upset that Ryan refused to address gun violence. My Two Cents The thing I love about Wil Wheaton is that he is not afraid of expressing his opinion....
