Spiked! has their sarcastic take on the feeding frenzy, and notes other overblown stories that turned out to be only mildly true.

The Diplomad2.0 has a multipart series on corruption in American embassies.
Hmm...maybe they should make a movie about it.

So smartphones affect sperm?
Yes, but wait til they find so do chemicals.

FINEST KIND CLINIC AND FISHMARKET.... Discussing medicine, culture, and the joys of cooking Pansit.
