Apple's being heavily criticized as it’s new GIF keyboard keeps pulling up sexy My Little Ponies and hardcore porn. When Apple released iOS 10 to the public, it introduced a new iMessage app with the built-in ability to search GIFs. It has also received negative press due to it's shoddy filters repeatedly returning My Little Pony porn and live-action fellatio. The GIF system works by doing an image search of popular animated image databases, but failed to realize that simply blocking words like "boobs" and "penis" wouldn't be enough to prevent the majority of available porn even WITH safesearch activated. Apple has since banned more obtuse, less directly "porny" terms such as "butt" and "huge" and alleges they'll practice more nuanced filtering of its GIF library.

20th Century Fox and the American Film Institute launch an initiative to encourage more female directors in Hollywood. They will provide alumnae of the AFI Conservatory Directing Workshop for Women the opportunity to direct short films based on the studio’s film franchises. The top filmmakers will have the opportunity to make their concept into a short film. We assess this from both a filmmaker AND a minority perspective (with Ryan present ONLY as an observer)

A curious game about a young person venturing down a well in search of untold treasures with only his Gunboots to protect him. Like imagine if that 2nd level from the Battletoads console version was an entire game -- but one that DIDN'T hate you and make you want to cry! Jonny got to dig down into Downwell (...wait for applause) and takes us along for the ride.
