Welcome to the Corporate Casket, a weekly series where bad businesses go to die.

The pet industry doesn’t care about your beloved best friend. Certain individuals might, sure, but generally speaking, profits over people applies here, too. Pets are often treated as commodities, kept in poor enclosures, and are in poor health, to boot. From the food to the toys you buy, manufacturers have shown they don’t care about you or your animals.

Show notes

https://www.patreon.com/iilluminaughtii

Welcome to Dark Dives, a new series where we explore the murky and devious depths of humanity.

The Bohemian Grove is a secret society, a real-world Illuminati, so to speak. But if they’re so horrible and controlling, why does no one know about them? And what exactly do they do? This organization is supposedly one of the most elite out there and though it sounds like something out of a political drama, this is real.

Welcome to the Corporate Casket, a weekly series where bad businesses go to die.

Dubai is known for its incredible feats of architecture. However, in the early 2000s, it was responsible for one of the largest architectural failures in terms of cost, environmental impact, and failure to come to fruition. The artificial islands were meant to awe and inspire visitors. Instead, they crumbled, changed the nature of currents, and to this day are nothing more than expensive sand dunes.

Welcome to Multi Level Mondays, a weekly series all about multi level marketing, pyramid schemes, and ponzi schemes.

Kenneth Copeland is one of the most scandalous, controversial televangelists. Not only does he completely fly off the handle when criticized for his faith-healing and wealth-hoarding behaviors, but he truly comes across as a real-life supervillain. Today, we’ll look at one of the most loathed pastors and see why the hatred against him is justified—and then some.

Gaia: The Netflix of Conspiracy Theories | Dark Dives Jun 26, 2023

Show notes

https://www.patreon.com/iilluminaughtii

Welcome to Dark Dives, a new series where we explore the murky and devious depths of humanity.

Today, we’re talking about Gaia; that ridiculous conspiracy site that talks about everything from lizard people to aliens to spirits and featured Demi Lovato. While the paranormal can be fun, Gaia takes it to dangerous levels. Their so-called conspiracies are supposedly disguises and covers for racism.

Be Careful What You Wish For | Corporate Casket Jun 22, 2023

Show notes

https://www.patreon.com/iilluminaughtii

Welcome to the Corporate Casket, a weekly series where bad businesses go to die.

Wish is effectively the ‘reality’ side in the online versus reality meme. Their cheap quality and cheap prices often result in low-quality products but, when you only pay a few dollars, who can complain, right? Unfortunately, quality isn’t the online issue at Wish; there are other dangers lurking behind this cheap, fast fashion.

Welcome to Multi Level Mondays, a weekly series all about multi level marketing, pyramid schemes, and ponzi schemes.

Back in the early 2000s, Greg Locke was just your run-of-the-mill pastor that participated in out-of-the-box fundraising strategies in an attempt to help the causes he felt passionate about. However, over the years, he has certainly changed. Now, Greg Locke is an outspoken, loud, and wildly controversial pastor who has hosted book burnings and made it his life mission to win his literal witch hunt. As time goes on, it just seems to be getting worse.

Welcome to the Corporate Casket, a weekly series where bad businesses go to die.

There’s nothing better than a trip to the salon. For a while, the ultimate treatment you could ask to receive for ultimate relaxation and breathtaking hair was Olaplex. But, recently, it seems like the hair industry giant has taken quite a fall from grace. With lawsuits and infertility questions up in the air, people are beginning to ask. Is Olaplex really as good as it seemed?

Welcome to Dark Dives, a new series where we explore the murky and devious depths of humanity.

Synanon was a horrific cult that used confrontational and abusive tactics to supposedly heal people from addiction. Now imagine if it was for teens, and you’ve got CEDU. Not only does the company admit to being inspired by such an abusive group, but they’ve followed in its footsteps.
