The good stuff never makes it to television, and so I'm here to tell you about the things that happened at today's inauguration that are noteworthy, but not *exactly* fit for prime time.

First, there was that pink dildo in the parade route. Some brilliant performance artist threw a giant pink dildo into the parade, and I'll never be the same.

Then, there were the pro-weed groups giving away over 8,000 joints. According to The Huffington Post, a group called DCMJ handed out lots of freebie joints in DC to support the reform of federal cannabis law.

“We want to make America kind again,” Amanda Frizz, a 26-year-old DCMJ activist said. “We want people to be open-hearted and not judgmental. That happened today.”

By 11:30 a.m. the legalize marijuana folks passed out 8,000 joints. I'd say they succeeded.

And, most importantly, all of the middle fingers up during Trump's speech. The Trump Inauguration had a horrifically bad turn out, and all those people weren't even there to support the speech. Apparently there were lots of middle fingers up in the air, waving like they just don't care (about the 45th President of the United States).
