The Full Story Behind Michael Caine's Controversial Oscar Comments

To paraphrase Alfred in "The Dark Knight," some men just want to watch the Internet burn. That must be the case with the recent comments from Michael Caine on the Oscars.

In a recent interview about his movie "Youth" the "Dark Knight" actor said, "You can't vote for an actor because he's black." He goes on to say, "You can’t just say, 'I’m going to vote for him. He’s not very good, but he’s black. I’ll vote for him.'"

Now those comments are causing more chaos online than The Joker, Bane or Ra's al Ghul did in Gotham combined. But that's not the full quote. Caine says actors should be selected based on their performances and points out a black actor he thought should've been in the running for an Academy Award.

The US military wants to spend $60 million to make cyborgs

The scientists at the military's Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) are planning an ambitious project that could one day yield technologically-enhanced super soldiers.

The project, called Neural Engineering System Design, involves a tiny, human-implantable device that can send and receive data quickly between the brain and electronics.

"The interface would serve as a translator, converting between the electrochemical language used by neurons in the brain and the ones and zeros that constitute the language of information technology," the agency wrote in a release.

One potential application the agency floated was a device that could compensate for deficits in sight or hearing.

This is how the police can BAN you from having sex without their permission

Policing powers: Officers and the National Crime Agency only need to get the permission from a magistrate before being able to make a Sexual Risk order

Police officers have told a man in York that he must inform them 24 hours before he has sex - else he could end up behind bars.

GAY MEN TOUCH A VAGINA FOR THE FIRST TIME IN NEW VIRAL VIDEO

Viral content seems pointless on the surface sometimes, but they can often be as much a teaching moment as a 2000-word article, or an interview. YouTube duo sensation Bria Kamand Chrissy Chambers have struck gold using that concept once before, and it appears that they’ve struck again.

The minds behind the ubiquitous Lesbians “Touch Penis for the First Time” video flip the script, and have delivered another clip sure to go viral, “Gay Men Touch Vagina for the First Time,” which isn’t a metaphor in any sense of the word. Several gay men quite literally reach between a woman’s legs and touch vagina for the first time in their lives, causing them to jump, cringe, curl into an upright fetal position, amongst other things. Well…except that.

Los Angeles will pay more than $24 million to two men who spent decades in prison after they were wrongfully convicted of murder, officials said.

Jimmy Savile inquiry claims another child abuser 'could be lurking undiscovered at BBC'

Criticism: BBC employees arrive for work at the organisation's New Broadcasting House
