About Die Hard 

Die Hard , the second most popular Christmas movie sweater is worn by Karl Vreski, portrayed by Alexander Godunov, in Die Hard. Karl is the main antagonist’s right-hand man and the only character not killed by John McClane (Bruce Willis) in the movie. The Christmas sweater in question is a grey knitted number with ‘Now I Have a Machine Gun – HO HO HO’ written on the front, paired with a Santa hat.     

Searches for ‘Die Hard Christmas sweater’ receive 3,200 searches per month, on average in the USA. Many speculate whether Die Hard is a Christmas movie due to its action/thriller genre, which caused the writer to note that the film is set at a Christmas party during the holidays and features many Christmas songs, meaning it is a Christmas film.   

 Home Alone

The 1990 classic Home Alone places third in the rankings, which features a young Kevin McCallister (Macaulay Culkin) who is accidentally left alone at Christmas time and faced with scaring off two burglars from breaking into his house. During the film, Kevin looks cozy in a few different winter knits, but the most iconic is the heathered red knit that surprisingly can hold his entire weight when he is hung on a coat hook. Despite the red knit not being the craziest of prints, it hasn’t stopped film fans from wanting to get their hands on a Home-Alone themed sweater for themselves.  Searches for ‘Home Alone Christmas sweater’ average 2,000 searches per month in the US.

The Gremlins

Fourth place in the rankings goes to Gremlins, released in 1984 and follows the shenanigans and destruction forced upon the small town of Kingston Falls, by a horde of mischievous monsters. The comedy-horror, written by Home Alone director Chris Columbus, is an unusual tale for a Christmas movie but presents some of the most valued messages common in holiday movies, such as the importance of loyalty and kindness.   Searches for ‘Gremlins Christmas Sweater’ average 1,250 searches per month in the US, proving just how popular the miniature furry beasts are and how much fans want to rock a green Gremlin-themed sweater this holiday season. 

National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation

 The 1989 slapstick comedy National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation places fifth in the rankings and is the third instalment in the National Lampoon Magazine’s Vacation film series. Searches for ‘National Lampoon’s Christmas Sweater’ average around 800 searches per month in the USA. The film follows Father, Clark Griswold (Chevy Chase), wanting to give the perfect Christmas holiday to his family which turns out to become quite the task. The film’s budget is estimated to have been $28 million (£22 million) and ended up seeing $74 million (£62 million) worldwide gross.    

   A spokesperson from Boohoo commented on the findings:

“Christmas movies are the ultimate way to get into the Christmas spirit.

Walk of no shame: Amber Rose rewrites the rules for women sexuality

We want to take the time to applaud feminist and women empowerment advocate Amber Rose (@DaRealAmberRose ) for standing up for universal respect of women when it comes to sexuality.

She recently produced a video with the website Funny of Die to rewrite the rules of the morning after walk, which is known as an act of shame for women who explore their sexuality with no strings attached. It often happens on college campuses and women are often targets of sexual harassment and cyber bullying for being sexually active and exploring their options when it comes to dating.

With the video the walk of shame transforms to the walk of no shame as Amber Rose portrays a woman coming home from a night of sex beaming and not one bit of ashamed about it.

Not too many women have the courage to create such a video or even proudly come from a night of sex. Here is what the world looks like when women have the freedom to enjoy sex without shame:

Walk Of No Shame with Amber RoseAmber Rose rewrites the rules of the morning-after walk and shows what it looks like when a woman takes pride in her stride.

Posted by Funny Or Die on Tuesday, September 15, 2015

If you enjoyed the No walk of shame video, please support Amber Rose’ Slut Walk, this event is hosted by The Amber Rose Foundation, a non-profit organization she started to uplift, empower and give women a voice across the globe. Any funds received from donations will go toward HIV testing, sexual awareness booths, food vendors, merchandise vendors and a host of other services which help women empower themselves through proactive health and education wellness.

Everyday women experience slut shaming, double standards, sexual assault and even rape simply because they seem a certain way or carry themselves a certain way. Women, no matter their nature of character deserve respect of body and mind.

Feel free to email Amber Rose and her team at slutwalk@saxproductions.com for more specifics on how you can give to Slut Walk and The Amber Rose Foundation.

The Liberation Of Bree

I always try to tackle things I’ve never had to before. In fact, every part of my life brings it’s very own challenge. Years before I asked myself why I befriend the strangest people but now I know the answer. It was simple. The strangest people are a lot more fun & more freeing than the ordinary ones. It’s why I always have a story about my life. After I realized that, I realized why I went to college. That answer was simple too. To accumulate wealth so I could become powerful enough to come up with as many fun premises as I could. Limitless wealth would mean we could have the resources to go anywhere and do anything. It also meant liberation. The only limit would be when I stopped dreaming. My mind is a strange place.
