Institute of Ignominy

The Institute of Ignominy is gathering research data on personal failures, humiliations, and just plain regrets. The bait is a baggy of shiny quarters. It seems everyone has something to tell and is grateful for the opportunity to disgorge these mortifications – in strict confidentiality.
