Welcome to the RantCrush Top 5, where we take you through the top five controversial and crazy stories in the world of law and policy each day. So who is ranting and who is raving today? Check it out below:

#TryBeatingMeLightly: Pakistani Women Fight Back

In Pakistan, a 163-page bill was proposed by the Council of Islamic Ideology allowing men to “lightly” beat their wives. Crazy, I know. A man is permitted, according to the bill, to beat his wife if she speaks too loudly or turns down intercourse. Of course, Pakistani women everywhere aren’t going to stand for this. As a result, photographer Fahhad Rajper’s photo project “TryBeatingMeLightly” is trending on social media.

Rush Limbaugh Talks Gorilla

Limbaugh recently said: “If we were the original apes, then how come Harambe is still an ape, and how come he didn’t become one of us?” Let’s face it Rush, no one takes you seriously. It’s unfortunate that an endangered animal had to die to demonstrate how much of an idiot you are.

Islamophobin: It’s the cure you can chew!

The Council on American-Islamic Relations just released a spoof video for a Islamophobia cure and it’s freaking hilarious. CAIR tackles the very serious issues of violence and discrimination against Muslims and hopes to combat the effects of Islamophobia. Maybe laughter IS the best medicine.

Sims 4 Jumps Aboard the Pride Train

The newest version of Sims 4 will now allow any character of any gender to choose any hairstyle and clothing. Previously, characters were restricted to the clothing and hair of their assigned gender. As LGBT rights become more open in the real world, why shouldn’t they be just as accepted in the virtual one?

 Zip it, Pagliano!

The latest news in Clinton’s scandal finds her IT staffer tight-lipped and not taking any questions. Bryan Pagliano has decided to plead the Fifth and avoid self-incrimination at a deposition next week. The deposition is part of a Freedom of Information suit filed by the conservative group Judicial Watch related to Hillary Clinton’s private email server. In the meantime, a lot of rumors are floating around about why Pagliano is not testifying.

This is why Pagliano is taking the 5th even with immunity. https://t.co/geKshz2bMu#ClintonCrimeFamily#HillNopic.twitter.com/nce8Q0OJsH

The 2016 presidential race may still be far away, but that hasn’t stopped a few candidates from gaining buzz early by officially throwing their names into the “potential president” mix. But before our campaigners get too serious with debates on foreign policy and health care, lets add a little humor into the fold.

Here are the three most ridiculous moments from the 2016 election so far.

Presidential Candidates Turned into Sims

Over Easter weekend the Independent Journal Review (IJR) decided to turn eight Republican presidential candidates into the “Republisims” and drop them into a generated White House on auto-pilot to see what would happen. These lifelike sims immediately began talking to themselves in mirrors, getting into fights with sim Rand Paul, and jumping into the pool to use the the “bathroom island” which was heavily guarded by sim Chris Christie.  Sim Ben Carson lasted the longest out of the bunch, making him your 2016 Republican candidate. Read a hilarious play-by-play here.

Not to be left out, IJR let eight Democrats have their turn as “Demosims,” which was live streamed yesterday. Sorry Hillary, but the winner was sim Vice President Joe Biden.

Hookers for Hillary

The ladies from an infamous Nevada brothel, the Moonlite Bunny Ranch, are making it clear who their candidate is early with the site HookersforHillary.com. The bunnies explained their reasoning for joining Team Hillary by discussing her stance on various platforms including healthcare reform, preventing trickle-down-economics, and my personal favorite “foreign policy experience. They wrote:

As Secretary Of State, Hillary Clinton gained invaluable experience negotiating with foreign leaders, and the Bunnies can definitely relate to negotiating through a language barrier.The Bunny Ranch entertains customers from all around the globe, and the girls have great respect for any woman who can take powerful men from oppressive cultures and make them bend to her will.  With her eye on the international landscape, the Bunnies are confident that President Hillary Clinton would also avoid a repeat of the Secret Service’s Colombian prostitution scandal by making sure that her detail buys American.

Unfortunately, I don’t think this was the kind of endorsement Hillary was hoping for, and I am pretty sure Hillary wasn’t in the market for domestic hookers for her security detail.

 Waka Flocka Flame 4 Prez

In 2012 Waka Flocka made a promise to the American people.

I’m dead ass running for president in 2016. — Waka Flocka Flame (@WakaFlockabsm) November 7, 2012

Two and a half years later the “No Hands” rapper sat down with Rolling Stone on 4/20 to talk about being president while rolling up some “presidential kush.” Here are some of Flocka’s plans if he becomes president:

• Stop all dogs from coming into restaurants.

• Ban anyone with size 13 feet or over from walking in public because he doesn’t want to see their “big ass feet taking up all the space on the concrete.”

• Require all children to learn all of his lyrics before they graduate or they have to “start all over again from third grade to twelfth.”

And of course, Flocka plans to legalize weed! Watch the aspiring nominee’s campaign video below.

We can’t wait to see what ridiculous moments happen next in this already crazy election. Stay tuned!
