10 Nintendo Sex Hotels
Wait what?
This cant be true, I mean nintendo is all about child friendly good times.
I mean they made their mascot a hard working family man with a nine to five plumbing job.
They publish all the Pokemon games and pikachu is one of the most wholesome creatures Ive
ever seen.
He looks like if the cutest rat in the world got mixed with a spring morning.
Well I hate to burst your bubble kids but this is true.
Back in the 1960 nintendo was a new company and video games werent even a thing yet, so
they decided to try their hand in a stickier industry.
At that time nintendos president was Hiroshi Yamauchi and he had the company build a few
love hotels in Tokyos red light districts.
These hotels basically a place you could take a prostitute, I guess when your in this situation
its nice to go somewhere neutral where everyones comfortable.
But dont worry guys you dont have to feel weird about buying the breath of the wild
sequel.
Nintendo is no longer working in the world of love hotels, although love hotels are still
very popular in japan.
Im sure if they got back into the market some people would check it out, they could have
a mario kart theme room where you bang in a go kart while a guy in an ape costume throws
banana peels at you
9 Dupont Chemicals
Wow, heres a classic one.
A giant company starts using a chemical they know is bad so they can make more money, it
happens so often its almost hack.
Like if your a major company maybe try and be original and build a death ray or start
experimenting on innocent people, you know, something interesting.
Well Dupont was once the worlds largest producer of the non-stick material teflon, Im sure
nintendo could find a way to make it stick together, badum-chi.
Well in the 1950 they purchased a chemical called Perflurooctanic acid, this stuff help
the speed of production and there for made dupont more money.
What Dupont neglected to tell the public is that this chemical is extremely toxic.
It causes cancer in animals, it was causing birth defects in their employees and the company
was thought to have contaminated the water supply of twelve thousand people.
It wasnt until 2015 that Dupont was ordered to remove the hard to pronounce toxic money
maker from their products and there are currently over 3000 court case waiting to be processed
against Dupont.
8 Listerine Swindled all of us
Just incase you were wondering bad breath comes from putting grabage in your body and
not from lack of listerine and I’ve got the proof.
Listerine has been around since 1880.
Back then it didnt have an edge, you could use it to disinfect but the products creater
Jordan Week Lambert wanted to get this stuff moving.
So he made up a sickness, he invtened hallitosis, out of thin air.
Got it published in the news paper that it was a real thing and then dumb middle class
people started buying in boat loads because they thought if they didnt they would be the
stinky friend.
Now its a house hold product.
It literally does nothing, just eat healthy, floss and brush your goddamn teeth.
7 Ikea used slaves
Just make it stop, I think we should do a top 10 list of companies that are actually
nice and dont try to ruin everyones lives.
That way we could have an idea of what products are safe to buy.
I feel like if I keep digging long enough I’m going to find out that my local farmers
market kills kittens for fun.
Well IKEA used slaves guys, like a really long time ago right, nope, in the 1970s.
These slaves were mostly Germans captured by the Russians while they were trying to
escape east berlin and protesters of the berlin wall.
IKEA made some deals with the russian government about taking this slave labour as long as
they stayed hush hush about where it was coming from.
Well now none of you can afford to buy furniture, Your welcome.
6 Volks Wagan’s Nazi offilation
Sooooo, this is a stain on there company even bigger then when they had that whole scandal
were they were deliberately making cars that pollute more.
In 1938 it was hitler who made the push to make an affordable economical car, which ended
up being what is now known and the worlds most sold car, the Volkswagen bug.
Who knew the cutest car in the world would have been spearheaded buy a guy who would
be remembered as the worst human in history.
But wait theres more!
During the war, the newly founded volkswagen didnt make cars but they made weapons for
the Nazis, oh my god.
Now thats gotta be all of it right?
No wait, theres even more!
Also during the war Volks Wagan was taking slave labor from the nazi concentration camps,
80 percent of the work being done in the factories during this time was done by slave labor.
I think Im going to get a toyota.
5 IBM and the Holocost
Another major company has ties to the nazi?
Well things cant be true!
If you dont believe me theres a book about it.
In 2001 a book was released by Historian Edwin Black titled IBM and the holocaust.
It went into detail about how certain IBM systems were used to help Nazi german.
Mainly the IBM Hollerith machine, this machine was used a punch card system to track the
large numbers of jewish people moving threw german.
This would make them much easier to capture, then once they were captured, you know those
horrible number tattoos concentration camp survivors would get?
Well those were their serial numbers from the hollerith machine, and put on jewish prisoners
so they could more easily coordinate how to kill them.
And you could say that IBM had no idea this was going on but the president of IBM met
with hitler.
IBM basically make a fieling system so Nazi germany could more easily kill jewish people.
4 Nike uses sweatshops
Just when you think it cant get any worse.
By the end of this video your not going to be able to buy anything without feeling a
deep sense of regret.
Like after you eat a burrito with ghost chilli sauce on it and you remember it has to come
out the other end.
Well lets add Nike to the list of giant horrible companies.
They’ve been using sweatshops to make all their products since its inception.
Even worse people were calling them out for this and they were denying it until it was
publicly unveiled in 1992 and then on top of that they were paying their employees as
little as 14 cents a day.
I know some people with enough nike products to pay for 3 generations lifetime salary.
This is horrible!
And if that wasnt enough, Nike got their slogan for a murderer lasts words while he was on
the electric chair.
3 Nestle Powdered milk
Ok buckle up folks because Im about to ruin chocolate for you, this is one of the worst
things ive ever read about.
Back 1970s the world health organization blew the doors off of Nestle, showing that they
had been poisoning and manipulating impoverished mothers in Asia, Africa and central america.
What they would do is send out people dressed as nurses to give out free samples of powdered
milk to breastfeeding or pregnant mothers.
The people dressed as nurses would trick the mothers into thinking that the powdered milk
had some sort of health benefits and then the powdered milk would cause the mothers
to stop lactating.
Nestle then stopped giving out free powdered milk forcing poor mothers trying to keep their
babies alive to buy this crap Nestle powdered milk, most of which couldnt afford it.
Also mortality rates among nestle powdered milk fed babies is 5 times higher.
2 Monsanto does more than just GMO
Everyone watching probably knows about monsanto because they manufacture GMO crops but were
not even going to get into that.
Lets start how monsanto created Agent Orange which is what the US military used in the
Vietnam war to destroy the vegetation and ended up giving millions of people terrible
diseases and devastating the country for years after.
They’ve also made seeds that dont produce more seeds.
So you know how a watermelon has seeds in it.
Well monsanto wants to stop that so every year you have to buy more seeds.
Sounds like how you start a famine.
Also theyre protected by the government so they can never be liable for any harm they
cause to people or the environment.
Cool beans.
1 Chiquita is crazy
If you dont know Chiquita there a fruit company, I want say this again because Im about to
state the wildest crap a fruit company has ever done.
In 1928 they were still known as the united fruit company and over 3000 of their workers
were killed because they were illegally taking bananas from columbian land, but the workers
didnt know that this was illegal.
They just went in and got massacred, it was called the banana massacre.
Then in the 60s they worked with the CIA to get in dictator in power in guatemala, to
start a civil war so they could buy up guatemalan land.
This civil war lasted 36 years!
Again, this is a fruit company!
They sell mangoes and their working with the CIA.
There was even a united fruit company president who killed himself because he could deal with
the guilt.
And as recent as 2004 the now Chiquita was fined 25 million dollars for tax evasion,
no Im just kidding it wasnt tax evasion, they were funding terrorist groups in Columbia.
This is fruit god dammit, chill out please!
Omg Im so happy that list is over, it took a toll on my soul just to research all this
stuff.
From now on Im going to only shop at thrift stories.
Well I already do that, but I’m going to continue to do that!
