Replying to Funny Problems in todays world?

I am doing a project about a modern day Muckraker (muckraker is a problem that happened which many people didn't know about during the immigration period). I was trying to find a funny topic to use. It doesn't have to be about skiing, but i tired to do failure to after bang and i didn't have enough information to cons and effects. At least that was actually not made up. feel free to leave ideas that would make an interesting project.
thanks
