This could be the worst apology we’ve heard since Gap's racist tee fiasco!

Spanish clothier Mango recently came under fire for a necklace and bracelet set that was named “estilo esclavo,” which means “slave style” in English.

Two French actresses, Aissa Maiga and Sonia Rolland, brought attention to the issue by starting a “Slavery is not Fashion” petition, which garnered 1,604 signatures AND an apology from the company that stated:

Okay, so if you're somewhat confused, we understand. We're just learning this too.

Gatorade apparently has an ingredient, brominated vegetable oil (BVO), that can be used as a flame retardant!

When in Gatorade, BVO actually keeps certain flavors mixed in, or else the flavoring ingredient would float to the surface of the drink.

Sarah Kavanaugh, 15, realized people probably shouldn't be drinking BVO, so she started a petition on Change.org.

And PepsiCo, owner of Gatorade, listened! They're replacing the ingredient! That was easy!

Subway could take a page out of Pepsi's book! LOLz!

It's so amazing that they reacted so quickly to the online petition. They just saved themselves a lot of consumer grief.

Way to go, Sarah!

Do you enjoy senseless, relentless rants?

Then you will get some chuckles — even though this segment is actually seriously disturbing — from watching CNN correspondent Piers Morgan trying to debate Radio Host Alex Jones, the man who started a petition to get Morgan deported from the United States.

Ch-ch-check out the first part of the "debate" which is actually just Mr. Jones spewing out a string of pro-gun statments while Piers attempts to calm him down (above)!

One highlight from the first part is when Jones insists:
