OK so we've all seen it...sitting at home, watching (insert favorite prime time show here), and during the commercial, they run a promo for that nights newscast, and they mention The Investigative Report a "shocking" expose of the latest thing that could kill/harm you or your kids

"...they say 'an apple a day will keep the doctor away' but it might warrant a trip to the coroner, find out why at 11 with our investigative report APPLES: THE TOXIC FRUIT..." (yes, it was an actual newscast detailing the shocking discovery that apple seeds naturally contain trace amounts of cyanide)

99.9% of the time these reports are ludicrous, misinformed, and years out of date (a month ago, I saw a report about a 'new' drug that has "just hit the streets" called Ecstasy...i was doing Ecstasy back in high school over a decade ago!!!)

There are hundreds of examples, and more accumulate on a daily basis, and anyone that knows anything about the subject matter usually laughs their ass off at just how far off the mark these reports really are...

i'll start with this gem...
