Can we have linkz to the Onion story? I would like to purchase this pill.
Thanks for the heads up, apparently I was too busy laughing over the “news” report to paste the link in.
This Missouri lawsuit story is so baffling I’m wondering what precisely is/was going on there.
AS far as news reports go, it IS rather light on facts though …
The story of the downfall of Mabus is surreal. Why didn’t anyone think to do that earlier?
Well, spamming the police to get them to investigate a spammer is, well, possibly counter productive. So it’s not an obvious tactic, even though it did get the ball rolling.
