Men's Only Edition SUV, Flo Rida's energy coup & RIP Meta'verse 👀🍿🧃

Hi Wrecklings!

I can’t get this genius Ford ad that was released on International Women’s Day out of my head. Truly a work of art.

• “Ex-Silicon Valley Bank Employees Are Selling Company Swag on eBay”- While I really wanted to snag some Fyre Fest merch, this somehow feels more grim.

• “Buffalo Wild Wings ADMITS its boneless wings are NOT wings in response to frivolous $9million lawsuit from customer that judge dismissed”- Nice attempt at cashing in on being the most literal.

• ''Shaq allegedly in hiding as lawyers fail to serve him over FTX lawsuit''- At least they can rule out very small hiding places.

• “Rapper Flo Rida won $82.6 million after suing energy drink company Celsius. Now he's launching a rival drink and wants to make it 'even healthier.'“- Dang, what a ruthless business move.

• ''Reusable water bottles hold more bacteria than toilet seat, study finds''- Thankfully I’ve basically lost every reusable water bottle I’ve ever owned even before it would have a chance to grow bacteria…

• ''Tennessee’s Republican Lieutenant Governor Has Been Commenting Heart And Fire Emojis On This Young Man’s Thirst Traps''- If only he’d be (publicly) this supportive of drag shows in the community!

• “AllTrails Data Exposes Precise Movements of Former Top Biden Official”- Yikes, definitely worth a read if only for learning which privacy settings should be changed immediately.

• ''George Santos Ran Credit Card Skimming Operation, Former Roommate Says''- Is there anything this guy hasn’t done?

• ''Mark Zuckerberg Quietly Buries the Metaverse''- I’d also try quietly sunsetting a project if I’d sunk $36 billion into it with nothing to show.

• ''Seeking Arrangements Has Rebranded as Seeking.com, a 'Luxury Dating' Site''- Only the most jaded publicist would let their client state, “love is a concept invented by poor people.”

• ''People Were Unwittingly Implanted With Fake Devices in Medical Scam, FBI Alleges''- This is INSANE.

• ''Food influencer Half Baked Harvest accused of disregarding, appropriating Vietnamese culture''- Painfully this isn’t even the first time this influencer has been called out for cultural appropriation.

• ''Tom Sandoval Brutal Yelp Restaurant Reviews... You Cheat, We Don't Eat''- I uncharacteristically have no idea what’s going on with this particular reality TV drama but it’s now escalated so that Yelp had to get involved?

• ''A scandal in Brazil involves an ex-president, jewels and the Saudi government''- Imagine being an aide and told to put $3.2 million worth of jewels into your backpack while traveling.

• ''Former Goldman Banker Gets 10 Years in Prison in 1MDB Scandal''- I’d have thought there’d be security measures in place to avoid things like this?

• ''The finale of Netflix's 'Physical: 100' is embroiled in controversy — including a dispute over whether the final challenge was rigged''- Reality TV rigging something? Can you imagine?

• ''Allegations of Scientific Misconduct Mount as Physicist Makes His Biggest Claim Yet''- It’s humbling to learn that there are publications out there like Physics Magazine while I’m writing a weekly newsletter on corporate scandal.

• ''Cult-Favorite Brand Yeti Recalls 1.9 Million Coolers and Cases''- Considering Yeti products are $$, that’s got to be a hit to the bottom line.

• ''Influencers are fleeing NYC in droves — it’s the ‘loneliest place’''- My favorite is making friends with former NYC’ers who also have moved to the ‘burbs, so I support this trend.

• ''Police: College girl racked up $500K in fraudulent purchases while working at Burlington Mall''- Stealing over half a million in 8 transactions is a super bold move.

• ''This 18-Year-Old College Journalist Could Bring Down Stanford University’s President''- We love a good David and Goliath story!
