Poverty Porn: CBS debuts 'reality' show exploiting the financially strapped

© cbs      As if to prove there are new depths to be plumbed in the world of reality television (because who knew?), CBS just debuted The Briefcase, a show which takes poverty porn, class anxiety, emotional manipulation and exploitation and packages them all neatly into a pretty despicable hour of primetime television. Kicking off each episode with the question, "What would you do with $101,000?" the show then deep-dives into...

McDonald's Japan founder: Burgers will make us 'taller, white and blonde'

© Natural Society Who knew!?      How do you sell fast food to a nation? Apparently by creating a massive lie.

It sounds absolutely insane — because it is. And, unfortunately, this is not...

1812: The inconsequential war that changed America forever

     WHY SHOULD I CARE? Most adult Americans today are unaware of what caused the War of 1812, who started it, what the outcome was, or even who the belligerents were. If I recall correctly, my grade school / high school History Class covered The War Of 1812 - aka America's Second War Of Independence, or America's Forgotten War - for a total of maybe one week. And what a worthless week it was. Like most history teachers I've...
