The Most Memorable Chrismukkah Moments From "The O.C." Ranked From Worst To Best
“It’s the new holiday, Ryan, and it’s sweeping the nation. Or at least this living room.”
The entire Season 4 Chrismukkah episode.
Season: 4 (The Chrismukk-huh?)
This was the episode in which Taylor and Ryan fall off a ladder and wake up in an alternate universe. When Ryan sees how different life would be without him, he realizes Marissa would have died in Tijuana if not for him. Sure, the episode helps him let go of Marissa's tragic death, but she never should have died in the first place. She wasn't even that great a character but it was nonetheless the show's demise.
*It would also be hard to rank moments from this episode since the events technically aren't real.
The first time Marissa meets Oliver.
Season: 1 (The Best Chrismukkah Ever)
Coop is forced into therapy for her severe lapse in judgment (overdosing on painkillers, escaping from the hospital, shoplifting from the mall, etc.) and runs into Oliver Trask at the office. This is by far one of the worst moments because it's the beginning of Oliver, a terrible character who RUINED EVERYTHING. He is the reason Marissa and Ryan broke up later in the season and I am still bitter about it.
Warner Bros. Television
When Caleb admitted to his "error in judgement" with Renee Wheeler, revealing he is Lindsay's biological father.
Season: 2 (The Chrismukkah That Almost Wasn't)
Oh man, this poor girl. Her mom lied to her about her father's identity her entire life and then she finds out her dad is actually her boyfriend's grandpa (sort of). And in a crowded living room filled with people, no less. Caleb Nichol stands for everything she disagrees with and their relationship going forward continues down a rocky path. Sorry, Lindsay. I feel for you.
Warner Bros. Television
When Johnny Harper tried to rob the convenience store.
Season: 3 (The Chrismukkah Bar Mitz-vahkkah)
Johnny was the surfer boy at Newport Union, whom Marissa met after she shot Trey and was expelled from Harbor. Johnny injured his knee in a car accident and we learned in this episode that he couldn't afford his surgery. Refusing to be a "charity case," Johnny attempts to pull a gun on a cashier at a convenience store and steal cash. It's lucky Ryan stopped him because there's no way in hell he would've gotten away with it.

Watch This Indian Actress Shut Down A Reporter For Telling Her To Keep Quiet About Women's Rights
“As a woman, I should lie about the state of women that’s in our country?”
Actress Mallika Sherawat was giving a press conference when a local female journalist called her out on once saying that India was "regressive and depressing."
"I think you need to do your homework well," Sherawat replied. And then let loose.
"Indian society is regressive for women."
"With female feticide, infanticide happening on an almost daily basis; with gang rapes making the headlines of almost every newspaper; with honor killings..."

13 Worst Parts Of Renewing Your Gym Membership

Thinking you can handle more than you actually can.
You used to be able to do three reps of twelve, so picking up where you left off should be a breeze, right? WRONG.
Having to get up early to work out before work.
Setting your alarm an hour earlier sounded great last night, but then The Matrix came on right before you went to bed, and you had to finish it even though you've seen it a million times. Now you are dangerously close to falling asleep on the treadmill and smashing your face in embarrassing glory.

An Artist Says His Work Was Stolen For Movie Posters For Spike Lee's "Oldboy" And Lee Responded
He appealed to Spike Lee because he said the agency was horrible to him but it looks like the veteran director isn’t in the holiday spirit.
Juan Luis Garcia is a graphic designer who took to his website, exasperated and hurt, after the treatment he says he endured when he was approached to design posters for Spike Lee's upcoming film Oldboy.
It's with sadness and hope that I write this open letter to you. I know you'll understand my story of an artist trying to make a dignified living. It's difficult and sometimes seems impossible because everyone wants you to work for free or for "exposure." Back in January I was approached by an ad agency that was hired to design posters for your new film, Oldboy. They wanted me to design some comps to present to you. They told me the budget was small and that they could only pay me peanuts for the comps but if you and the studio liked any of them I would then be compensated fairly through the licensing buyout fee. I know, I saw all of the warning signs but the idea of working for you and having my design represent your film blinded me. So I went along with it. Dealing with the agency was one the worst experiences of my life. It affected all aspects of my life from my marriage to my work and my health. I was taken advantage of, lead on, lied to, manipulated, and harassed for over two months while I put all I had into designing the comps. I wanted to impress you and I guess I did.

The agency told me, "Congratulations, Spike loved a couple of the posters. Yours is going to be the key art.", and I was thrilled. But when it came time to negotiate the licensing buyout fee the agency made an insultingly low offer. But they said that the important thing wasn't the money it was the exposure and potential for more work. After thinking about it long and hard I had to decline. I tried to negotiate but they refused. I make the same amount of money in a single day as a photo assistant as what they offered and I had worked on these almost exclusively for two months. Plus there was still more work to be done so I had to refuse.

While Garcia declined to work with the agency any longer, he posted his version and the official poster to show the similarities.
