Dolce and Gabanna is one of the biggest fashion houses in the world. With dresses that cost more than a lot of people’s rent for an entire year, they claim their clothes, bags, and accessories are more than just fashion; their art. But, the company, and subsequently the owners of the brand seem to be skilled at more than just designing clothes. They’re pretty good at stirring up some controversy and creating massive scandals. They don’t seem to care though, as it seems they are pretty much uncancelable. Still, can’t blame a pyramid for trying. Don’t feed the monsters.

Since at least the 1940’s there has been a movement in the United States to get food from sources that don’t rely on artificial means of growth. From pesticides to genetic modification, there has been a following of said movement for nearly 100 years. It doesn’t come as much of a surprise to us that, just like most foods, milk has also become the star of its own show of misinformation. Let’s dive in and see how deep the story goes regarding raw milk.

It’s time for a fast takedown on another fast fashion company. Boohoo has become a competitive and notorious rival to Shein in the world of fast fashion and in scandals. They claim to be making a push for sustainability, but their 100% sale, and over 400,000 styles a year seem to beg a differ. As for the people that make all of their inventory, well, let's just say the company’s labor practice leaves something to be desired. But hey, Kourtney Kardashian says she is here to save the day! That always works out great, doesn’t it?

Brittany Dawn’s name has almost certainly been marked forever as something that will register the word “scam” in many people’s minds. Her fitness scam has become so big it made national headlines and caused an entire state to sue her. But, Brittany isn’t the only one. The world of online social influencers has become littered with scam artists who boast about products they don’t have the means or the experience to sell. As social media gets bigger, so do the scams.

The Dodo has become the warmest, ‘cuddliest’ corner of the internet. They’re a never-ending stream of adorable, clickable, animal content. But do they really have the animals’ best interests at heart? They’ve promoted unsafe animal interactions and inappropriate pets, and they source themselves consistently. The Dodo should remain extinct: they aren’t the news site they claim to be, but a clickable brand to earn money.

Every holiday season most of us are met at our favorite shopping locations, churches, or public parks with the sound of ringing bells. The tradition of the “red buckets” has been one that has been continued throughout decades, but most people don’t have a second thought when they throw some spare change into the smiling volunteer. But, what is the organization you’re donating to? The history of lgbtq+ discrimination, child abuse, and employment mistreatment runs deep. Maybe those red buckets are as jolly as they seem.

The Red Cross is a household name among charities. It’s become synonymous with disaster relief, but does it really deserve that title? The Red Cross has roots in wartime aid, but its growth and experience in donations are questionable at best. Not only have they not earned their respect, but they haven’t earned your dollars either.

Established Titles has become a commonly known youtube sponsor; they’re a cute gift idea that’s supposed to allow you to become a ‘Lord’ or ‘Lady’, should you choose. Recently, they’ve taken heavy fire, and allegations of them being a complete and total scam have cast them, and their advocates, under the spotlight. Is Established Titles a legitimate company with a few skeletons in their closet? A complete and total scam? Or should we really be casting that spotlight on the ones making the allegations in the first place?

Older generations have been complaining about younger generations since the dawn of civilization. For thousands of years, younger generations have been accused of being lazy, arrogant, disrespectful, and foolish. Sometimes older generations see these qualities in the youth of their day and thereby blame younger generations for the societal decline. But in the case of “millennials,” they’ve been accused of “killing” nearly every socio-economic thing. Why have older generations and the media chosen to paint millennials in such a murderous light?

DNA tests are a fun way to find out your genetic history, but they create far more problems than dragging family secrets and skeletons out of the closet. The lack of privacy, security, and questionable people being permitted to buy your most personal information all make DNA testing a shady industry. You might want to think twice before spitting into those tubes.

The fertility industry can be a wonderful thing, allowing people that are unable to have children the chance of building a family. However, how we talk about freezing eggs and IVF can be concerning and far from empowering. More than ever, it’s been seen as a way to ‘level the business playing field’, or promoted as a way to ‘stop time’ when these procedures are far from a guarantee. So who’s regulating the fertility industry—if anyone?

For nearly 50 years, the burden of the climate crisis has been placed on individuals. Recycle your plastic. Reduce your carbon footprint. We have heard it time and time again. But, in the last few years, people have begun to scratch their heads. Why, is climate change placed solely on individuals? With studies popping up showing the massive impact on the environment from companies and billionaires alike, it seems the burden should be primarily placed on them. But, it’s not. How did pollution become an individualized problem, rather than a collective one?

Tax season in the United States of America is a time of year filled with dread, confusion, and an avalanche of stress. But, when products like Turbo Tax came along we all thought life was going to get a little easier. Now, the American people didn’t have to go to an expensive accountant to get their taxes done, they could do it themselves! For Free! There was a tiny issue though; these services weren’t actually what was promised and they certainly weren’t free. Oh yeah, and those very same companies that claimed they were coming to save the day were actually lobbying against the people they were claiming to help.

Organo Gold is a coffee MLM made with mushrooms. While it sounds harmless (and gross) enough, these mushrooms do have hidden dangers—as does their business model. Not only are higher-ups chronically leaving mushroom coffee companies to start their own, but each one of them seems to make the same misleading claims.

Years ago, the home exercise giant Peloton seemed to be the toast of the town. Everyone was enamored with the rapid rise to success of the company that sold luxury bicycles and treadmills and their skyrocketing profits seemed to reflect consumers' undying love. But, as their orders grew they found themselves enthralled with a whole new host of issues. They scaled way too fast, had one PR blunder after another, and soon lawsuits came flooding in. What’s that saying? What goes up must come down. Yeah, it seems like we might be in the “down” part of Peloton’s story.

The biggest loser is known for turning weight loss into the ultimate competition. Is it important to be healthy? Yes. But there’s so much more to health than a number. When you watch the show with a critical eye, it’s obvious why critics say it’s a miracle no one’s died during filming. Unfortunately, there has been damage done, to contestants, and to how we see health.
