If there is one thing I loathe, it's entitlement! I am happy to assist you with anything, but when someone demands and expects it, you can see yourself out!

The villainous character in our lesson today is the embodiment of entitlement and the originator of sadism - the Marquis de Sade!

Get it, Sade, Sadism! Here my Baptist traumatized butt just thought it was from Satan!

I never imagined sadism was born from a spoiled aristocratic man-child!

We should have known!

Do not shed any tears for the devil, for he is not real. The true embodiment of wickedness resides within the human heart and is shown to us by my magical mirror.

The man in our lesson today was so vile that he was given the nickname Dr. Satan. But even the devil wasn't as cruel and conniving as this man.

Throughout his life, he engaged in deceitful, fraudulent, and violent behavior, leading up to his untimely demise by guillotine.

Although it may have been the conclusion of his tale, let's uncover the valuable lessons we can learn from the rotten life of Dr. Marcel Petiot.

E equals MC squared, but Albert Einstein's actions made him equal to or greater than Rotten!

As I gazed into Albert's life, the phrase "ignorance is bliss" kept popping into my head, but I quickly realized that bliss doesn't teach us much.

We can learn a lot from one of the greatest minds of all time, even from his mistakes.

No, I’m not talking about his hair or preference for open-toed leather sandals.

I am determined to gain a clear understanding of his character and how he treated his loved ones.

So I'll do what the government did after he died and take a slice out of his prefrontal cortex and see what rotten things lay hidden.

It’s no surprise that we know a dictator here on Rotten when we see one. 

This is a special one in the fact that he passed his title to his son and now his grandson, who is the current leader of North Korea! 

They’ve convinced their subjects that they are basically gods and don’t have brown stars or even need to defecate!

They’ve kept much of their deeds hidden, so let’s see if my magic mirror can see what is forbidden in the life and dictatorship of Kim Il-Sung!

Humans are always looking for someone to admire. Sometimes, it’s a god, a celebrity, or someone influential from the past. I look up to Saint Dolly Parton and Eartha Kitt. During the Great Depression, there were some movie stars who garnered attention, but the real stars of the time were gangsters! We’ve learned about several of them already, but the biggest, baddest of them all was John Dillinger, the most famous bank robber in U.S. history. He not only robbed over twenty-four banks, but he also stole the hearts of the world, too…aside from maybe J. Edgar Hoover, who created a task force to find him. Let’s peer into the past and see what we can learn from the rotten & handsome man, John Dillinger.

We all know the work of Roald Dahl

He gave the world characters like Willy Wonka and, my personal favorite, Matilda. But from the same mind came child killing witches and, more notoriously, Trunchbull. His writings are often accompanied with sadness suffering, and often paint women in an unflattering light, aside from Miss Honey.

Let's take a peek beyond the pages of another famous children's author, and find out why his own wife dubbed him Rolled the Rotten, a more than well deserved nickname.
