Wolf of Wall Street. Wall Street. Boiler Room. That Bootsy Collins flick that was just released seems like it uses the phone scams as it’s set piece.

There was a show (Food Lab maybe?) that did a “blind” taste test with a bunch of random people and Chinese food. After everyone had finished eating, they announced that half of the room had MSG in their food and the other half didn’t. A good portion of the people in the MSG side reported having head and body aches as well as other assorted symptoms, and none of the people in the other side reported anything. Then they revealed that there was no MSG in any of the dishes on either side of the room. edit: Food Detectives with Ted Allen synthetik fucked around with this message at 21:43 on Jul 16, 2019 |

HerStuddMuffin posted:When was funeral director not another way of saying casket salesman? My uncle has been a mortician for 30+ years and was talking about this the other day. I guess in 2007/8 there was a giant mega-corp that was pushing the “pre-need” super hard for years, and when people started using the plans enmasse, they went belly-up and brought down the entire industry. That’s when you had all the news stories about people being dug up and plots resold. From his point of view he stopped being a funeral director and became a glorified sales person when pre-need plans started.

Right, except for all the people that can’t get what they paid for because the company they purchased from went out of business or was sold in a bankruptcy auction. There’s a lot of people(‘s families) that got screwed.
