Bloomberg Fights the Good Fight
This will be a long rant.
This innocuous Bloomberg article, of
only slight interest to the general public, had me re-reading it
three times to try and figure out what troubled me. It's a simple

This story was actually offered via Yahoo News.
The story claims that 30 percent of the male population in China will die from smoking. If you even think about believing this you are just stupid. From the department of 'who are you going to believe, me or your lying eyes?' Which gives me the idea for a new label...
