In honor of Easter, and this bizarre associated manufacturing of demand for candied forest critters comes Carl Huber, an otherwise nondescript youngster with net access, bad judgement and an obsessive desire to have his fifteen minutes of fame. Congrats.

In response to issues raised by activist groups, McDonald's is entertaining the idea of gassing chickens to death for food products, as opposed to their current method where they hang the chickens upside down by their feet on a conveyor and run them through a vat of electrified liquid. At least that's more humane than my idea of hooking up a plasma TV in the coop and making the chickens watch Jim Carrey movies.

Ask your typical American and they're clueless to the fact that mad cow disease has ever turned up in the United States. Singular cases elsewhere in the world have prompted massive efforts to address this potential plague, yet the mainstream media has been hesitant to call much attention to the story for fear of upsetting their fast food benefactors.
