Fox News was criticized after the network compared Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau's new haircut to the one Jim Carrey sported in the classic comedy Dumb and Dumber.

In Dumb and Dumber, Carrey played Lloyd Christmas, who along with his friend Harry played by Jeff Daniels set out on a cross-country road trip to return a briefcase a woman left in an airport terminal. The haircut Carrey has in the film is quite distinctive, and it was what came to mind for Fox News when it reported on a haircut Trudeau debuted while visiting Quebec.


Fox News went so far as to make a side-by-side comparison of the haircuts during a segment featuring network personality Harris Faulkner.

You can see it below.

Was it news?

Not at all.

The fact Fox was actually using time to mock Trudeau's haircut is especially striking because the network has come under fire for not focusing on important national and global stories.

The network was recently criticized for deciding not to carry live coverage of the House Select Committee's hearings into the January 6 insurrection.

Instead, it announced it would carry the hearings on the lower-rated Fox Business while hosts like Sean Hannity and Tucker Carlson would be able to proceed as usual, offering highly slanted, inaccurate or downright misleading commentary.

Fox was swiftly attacked online and many accused the network of using its platform to bully people openly.




Carrey later reprised the role of Lloyd Christmas in the 2014 sequel Dumb and Dumber To, which also featured Daniels but failed to replicate the first film's success at the box office.

The actor, who recently starred in Sonic the Hedgehog 2 and ended a critically acclaimed run on the HBO show Kidding, spends much of his time these days writing and creating art that he often shares with his sizeable Twitter following.

He has shared misigivings about the film industry as well as the nature of celebrity — which he explored in his novel Memoirs and Misinformation — and expressed a desire to retire relatively soon.

Stephen Colbert Makes Somber Plea To Americans In Wake Of Charlie Kirk's Death

Late-night host Stephen Colbert had a somber message for Americans as he addressed the assassination of far-right activist Charlie Kirk, stressing that "political violence only leads to more political violence."

Kirk died after an unidentified gunman shot him in the neck as he—ironically enough—mocked victims of gun violence at an event in Utah Valley State University. Kirk's murder has galvanized the far-right, with President Donald Trump and his surrogates claiming without evidence that rhetoric from Democrats is responsible for Kirk's death.

TikToker Hilariously Calls Out Target After Champion Pants Feature Awkwardly-Placed Front Pleat

Sometimes you can just tell when something was designed *for* women, but was not actually designed *by* women.

Take, for instance, the new pleated pants available at Target from the Champion clothing line. While there's nothing wrong with pleated pants and they certainly have a suitable spot in the workplace, the latest rendition of Champion pleated pants are, shall we say, NSFW.

Woman Goes Viral After Revealing How Her Obsession With Matcha Landed Her In The Hospital

Let's be honest: Too much of anything isn't good for us. It's all about the balance!

But the media and social media trends have taught us that certain things are really good for us, encouraging us to be like the "very mindful and very demure" girls and take care of ourselves. One such example is drinking more matcha, especially if you really like coffee or think you have a caffeine addiction.
