That is funny because the fact that we are debating this topic had made it seem as if we were all [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Whoa: The British Medical Association is urging a complete ban on alcohol advertising and sponsorships in England, home to many drunks. But the media needs that money! Who&#8217;s more disingenuous here &#8212; ad agencies, media companies, or doctors? It&#8217;s close!
Let&#8217;s all agree that, sure, it would probably be good from a public health standpoint if [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[ Americans are, sadly, a dream deferred. We pretend that we&#8217;re the next generation of human social evolution, but, really, we&#8217;re not. That&#8217;s why we&#8217;re arguing and griping over a movie about evolution.
Despite the fact that On The Origin of Species has won a Toronto film festival award and debuts in Britain this week, US [...]]]></description>

When the ad broke big, WWF in the US put out a hasty condemnation; then they said it was a spec [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[
In the UK there&#8217;s a magical strain of skunk weed: It addicts teenagers, turns them psycho, prompts their mum to write a tell-all book, and then sends the nation into an uproar over said book. And it&#8217;s coming to America!
The uproar, that is! And the book. But not the weed, as far as I know, [...]]]></description>

How&#8217;s this for small-town journalism? The Hartford Courant, who recently underwent a serious change in management, just [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Yale University Press is publishing a book about the Danish Muhammad cartoon controversy of 2005. But Yale will not publish any images of the cartoons, or Muhammad, because Yale University Press is run by freedom-disregarding accommodationist pussies.
To reiterate: this book, entitled The Cartoons That Shook the World, is about this cartoon controversy. But Yale told [...]]]></description>

Many a nationally respected newspaper has gone wildly careening down the rabbit hole chasing a false rumour or [...]]]></description>

Last year, Wrigley designed the world&#8217;s most evil stealth marketing campaign ever with a fella by the name of Chris Brown. Now they&#8217;ve finally ended it. It just took a little domestic violence to convince them to stop killing music!
Wrigley had the bright idea to pay Chris &#8220;Bubblegum&#8221; Brown to put out a pop song [...]]]></description>
