Bang Energy, for a short period of time, was synonymous with the picture-perfect healthy lifestyle.

We will discuss any and everything from bad charities, terrible CEOs, and businesses that have a lot to hide. In the early 2000s, something seemed abundantly clear in the United States; the country was falling behind the rest of the world in education. With the academics dropping and, coincidentally, the military enrollment, the government decided it was time to come up with a plan. So, the No Child Left Behind Act was brought into existence. At first, everyone seemed hopeful that the new plan in American education would make a difference—and it did. But, not the kind the United States was searching for.

Stop Romanticizing Serial Killers. | Dark Dives
Welcome to dark dives, a new series where we explore the murky and devious depths of humanity. This goes beyond corporate greed and get rich quick schemes, beyond shady products and questionable CEOs. Here, we take a look at the very worst of humanity, to see what evil people are truly capable of. For years now, we’ve seen individuals and documentaries romanticize serial killers. Wanting to get inside the head of these notorious figures is one thing, but wanting to be with them, being obsessed with them, and ‘standing’ them, is another. Not only is it greatly disrespectful to the victims of these monsters, but it’s dangerous, too.

In 2007, CBS thought they were about to have a huge hit on their hands. How exactly? Well they were going to grab 40 kids and have them “fend for themselves” in a fake desert town in New Mexico. The truest recipe for disaster for sure! I hear tales of kids drinking bleach, being burned and only being paid $5,000 for the privilege of working 24/7 for 40 straight days. This here is the story of what would become CBS’s most controversial show from the early 2000’s and maybe ever. Time to dive in!

We will discuss any and everything from bad charities, terrible CEOs, and businesses that have a lot to hide. Family vlogging is so much more than a cute, home video—it’s become extremely profitable and can mean a camera in a child’s face on a daily basis. The ethics of this have been questioned for a while, especially after some massive controversies. Between refusing to adopt due to social media requirements or even rehoming children after a lack of proper research and education, these family vloggers have profited off some pretty gross and disturbing stuff.

His horrific actions remained in the shadows, thanks —-in part—- to the music industry seemingly refusing to lose one of their brightest stars.
