Pooping unicorn sued, TikTok in cars & only the "non-stupid" need apply đđżđ§
Hi Wrecklings!
In case you missed it last week, we called out a gaming accessories company for an absolutely atrocious video they releasedâ and our TikTok (content warning!) definitely helped to call attention to their poor behavior. After the TikTok gained more traction than their initial video, they pulled theirs. Alexa, play Taylor Swiftâs âVigilante Shitâ đđŒââïž
''Companies Canât Ask You to Shut up to Receive Severance, NLRB Rules''- Itâll be interesting to see if companies start treating their employees better now that this is the case.
''Pizzeria goes viral for looking to hire ânon-stupid peopleâ''- A+ marketing.
''TikTok Announces New Integration with Mercedes Benz to Display TikTok Content on In-Car Screens''- âŠThis feels like the dumbest idea.
âInstagram accidentally reinstated P0rnhubâs banned account''- Definitely a bit of a grey area when there are countless OnlyFans all over Instagram.
''Netflix, BBC and ITV set to âbanâ corsets from period dramas like Bridgerton over health and safety concerns''- Iâd have thought thereâd be a way to create a simply aesthetic corset â if the look was important for period pieces.
''Fountains of Youths: One grown-ass womanâs descent into the soul of the American teen on their home turf: the mall food court''- Not scandalous but anyone that also has a love/hate relationship with malls will love this.
''Dow said it was recycling our shoes. We found them at an Indonesian flea market''- Unsurprising but still disappointing.
''Black Eyed Peasâ âMy Humpsâ Ripped Off by Pooping Unicorn Toy, Lawsuit Claims''- I canât imagine having to show this video to a bunch of high-billing lawyers.
''Guns, Grift, and Gore: The Life and Times of an Arms-Dealing Hustler''- A pathological liar with a penchant for pointing firearms at people sounds like a giant liability.
''How an Alleged Con Man Tore Apart One of the Ninetiesâ Biggest Bands''- An in-depth look at a feud between a pretty niche band but âLightning Crashesâ remains a good song.
''The Woman Who Returned Lady Gaga's Stolen Dogs Is Suing The Singer For Not Paying Her''- To be fair, Iâm not entirely sure Iâd want to pay someone likely involved in the dognapping to start?
''Elon Musk-led Twitter has been sued by at least six companies for failing to pay bills''- Are the Elon bros still convinced heâs doing this on purpose as a joke?
''More layoffs at Twitter, and loyalist Esther Crawford isnât spared''- A perfect example that your job isnât safe â even if youâve slept at the office.
''DCâs Food Influencer Scene Is Booming. Itâs Also a Hot Mess.''- I feel badly for laughing at, âIt reminded me of that scene in Zoolander where theyâre spraying gasoline on each other⊠thereâs just cheese everywhere.â
''Ozy Mediaâs Founder, Carlos Watson, Arrested on Fraud Charges''- This was a long time coming but still, yikes.
âFormer North Carolina insurance executive charged in $2B fraud schemeâ- Itâs wild to me how casually people are just scamming millions/billions.
''George Santos lied to a judge in 2017 bid to help a âfamily friendâ charged with fraud''- He does seem like the type to leave an angry review about a Dominoâs Pizza delivery taking too long.
âEx-MoviePass Exec Charged With Allegedly Stealing From Company to Pay for Coachella Partyâ- $260,000? That must have been some party.
''My Side Hustle Is Filing Class-Action Lawsuit Claims''- Huh. I guess itâs sort of like how people take surveys to get paid.
''Pentagon Warns Poppy-Seed Bagels Are a Threat to National Security''- Seems a bit late to the game as the FAA has been concerned about this for a while.
''Fishrot: The corruption scandal entwining Namibia and Iceland''- Pun not even intended, but this is a perfect example of a fish beginning to rot from the head.
''A Rare Book Scandal Provides a Warning About Private Equity''- Bummed fractionalized ownership over rare manuscripts was a scam because that sounds super cool.
I saw this tweet last week, now you do too:
