Florida law bars selling milk products that don't have vitamin A added being labeled as milk.

There was an all-natural dairy that didn't want to add vitamin A to their milk, and the state of Florida barred them from labeling their product as "milk".

The legal process is still ongoing:

I can make shit up too. It's amazing what you can do with Photoshop these days.

Do you believe every single news outlet in the world is using a photoshopped image of a Nazi being punched?

Here a local Florida newspaper:

And here's a British newspaper:

And here's a video of Richard Spencer being punched, just because it's so fun to watch:

And we're supposed to believe that this was because news organisations recut the audio, and not because your hero can't stop himself from saying racist things.

I agree there are lots of hand-painted signs, but look around at the images on twitter. lots of pre-printed ones.

You mean people have access to computers and printers in this day and age? The shock of it! The shock!

What next, will people be able to communicate with some sort of invisible electron wave, you think?

PS.

... how long til they get the rest of their equipment?

Indeed, I would petition for six day underwear (scroll down).

Three leg holoes. Rotate once per day, then turn inside out for the next three. Go a couple times between washes and you've got nearly a fortnight!

Actually, this(scroll down to brief updates) is the real interesting one!!! It's always fascinated me as a solution to a problem that shouldn't exist.

Is there an ideal level at which this rather arbitrary standard should be set? Probably. I happen to believe that at present it is far too low, since even a striking appearance and a decent voice can be mistaken for 'exceptional talent' (ala Britney Spears or 'NSync.)

What needs to be understood about bands like N Sync, the Backstreet Boys, and Britney Spears, is that these bands do contain "exceptional talent", but I'm not talking about the stage performers, I'm talking about the producers, arrangers, and engineers who work in the background.

Or consider N Sync.

Consider the production credits for N Sync in the above link.

14 Producers
20 Engineers
4 Arrangers

A total of 38 people who had a hand in the album, over and above the stage performers, and the musicians. These are just the people who contributed to the album. This list doesn't even count the talent scouts, vocal coaches and instructors, choreographers, lighting crews, and costume designers that contribute to their live shows, and the marketing staff that promotes their albums, endorsements, and appearances.

These are producers, engineers, and arrangers who can and do turn any group of above-average singers into a hit band. Everyone thought that Destiny's Child and O-Town were cynical television experiments, but in the end, the producers proved that you really can manufacture a hit band, because the real talent in these sorts of bands is the team working behind the scenes to sculpt the young performers into teen idols, not the performers themselves. You could replace the performers, and the bands would still work. However, if the performers were to dump their production staffs, and try and continue their careers on their own, they wouldn't have a chance.
