Is there any human being who can truly appreciate the difference between an exorbitantly expensive bottle of Bordeaux and an excellent, modestly priced wine from California or Australia? Can one be 20 times happier with a glass of Bordeaux than with a glass of American Cabernet Sauvignon? Only very few wine experts could discern the country of origin, and none of them could taste the prices. The wines of Bordeaux will fall in value when consumers' tastes turn...

...buxom bonbon. Visually, the video verges on seizure inducing, with dizzyingly kaleidoscopic scenes. There are also peculiar visuals, such as a svelte and feline sylph painted in pink and purple stripes, looking very much like a human Cheshire Cat.

...pediculosis pubis, commonly known as pubic lice. Don’t let this news get you crabby—preventing a parasite paradise is easy. Make sure that your toilet seat is Harvard-Yale tailgate-dry before covering it with a toilet seat cover. Afterwards, wash your hands with soap and water. Simple, right? Maybe not.
