Description: WorldCom was not just the biggest accounting scandal in the history of the United States, but it was also one of the biggest bankruptcies. Considered a telecommunications giant, the revelation that it had cooked its books came on the heels of the Enron and Tyco frauds, which had rocked the financial markets. However, the scale of the WorldCom fraud put even them in the shade. This spate of corporate crime led to the Sarbanes-Oxley Act in July 2002, which strengthened disclosure requirements and the penalties for fraudulent accounting. However, WorldCom left a stain on the reputation of accounting firms, investment banks and credit rating agencies that has never quite been removed.

Description: Rian Johnson, the writer and director of this mess, needs to be hunted down, dragged into space, and fed to a thousand mynoks. His attempt at creating a Star Wars classic, The Last Jedi, turned out to be nothing more than a steaming pile of Bantha dung…at best. At worst, this was the most unforgivable violation of what the Star Wars franchise has been and should be since George Lucas’ cowardly and pathetic re-edit of Han vs. Greedo. Han shot first. Fact. And Rian Johnson should never have been given any part of the Star Wars legacy beyond a movie ticket and a bucket of popcorn.

Description: Johann Braun opened City Brewery in 1846. Valentin Blatz established a brewery next door in 1850 and merged both breweries upon Braun's death in 1852.[2] In that year, Valentin's little brewery produced 350 barrels of lager.

In 1875, Blatz was the first Milwaukee brewery to have a bottling department to package beer and ship nationally.[4] It incorporated as the Valentin Blatz Brewing Company in 1889.
