Women awarded $32,000 for being excluded from lunch at work.

Yeah, the point is just that this story is re-reported by The Takeout, which is a food site, and so focuses on the pizza aspect. But the details reveal that colleagues were also hanging up on her and refusing to take her calls. That's making it impossible for her to do her job. I suspect the pizza lunches were mainly significant because they were organised by management, which is evidence of management complicity and culpability, putting the company on the hook.
I'm just saying I don't think it's the laughable story implied.

A more on topic reply.
I recently watched a Swedish TV show where they looked at the effects of skin care products through semi scientific testing.
A decent self selected sample got to try different skin care products in half their face in a double blind fashion for 8-12 weeks. They tried different types in different experiments. They also had a non TV sent group which was properly randomized.
The objective results from skin measurements were that a few products had a small effect, but almost every time the placebo (a cheap, very fatty skin lotion) had identical or better effects.
They also asked the participants to guess which half of the face of other participants got the treatment. In this case the result was 50-50, ie other people can't tell the difference.
Tl;dr:
When it comes to skin care use a fatty, cheap lotion, use sun screen/avoid the sun and don't smoke. The rest is a waste of money, unless you enjoy the ritual of using expensive products on your skin.

As for your post if was very informative but every major company uses aliases and shell companies. Most usually are just a phone # and one employee. It's very intriguing.

Sorry, I didn't mean to imply you meant to be political, just that what I wanted to write about it would definitely be political.
If he really meant it purely as a joke, I would probably have to apologize for my earlier posts on the topic.
On the other hand I can't imagine how somebody can find the story funny or bizarre without having this connotation in mind.

Reminds me of the story, where somebody visits a psychologist:
Patient: My problem is, that everybody ignores me.
Psychologist: Who is next, please?

I'm glad you're around @Couchpotato. You're a good dude, even if you sometimes accidentally (?) step in the muck on sensitive subjects.
That reminds me of when I unwittingly annoy my wife, sometimes. When I discover new, interesting facts I'm usually too excited to think about how other people might interpret it as me giving an opinion on the subject, or even find it interesting.

Charging cuckolds $1.99 seems like a missed opportunity.
