I'm 25 pages into my 30 ish page report! Whore-ray! I'm brain dead, so this will be a long, rambling, nonsensical edition of Senile Thoughts on the topic of gullibility.
My friend just posted up new pictures from her trip to bangKOK (she is apparently refusing to capitalize the KOK and insists on the BANG. Pfft.) In one of the pictures, she is eating grasshoppers sold by a street vendor.
Strangely, tourists from all over the world seem to always have to try the bugs sold on the street. I believe they do it thinking that it's some sort of Thai delicacy or snack. My thought? The Thai don't eat bugs! The street vendors push their carts out every morning knowing that some American tourist will see the cart and think,"hey this country isn't quite up to the snack processing capabilities of the good ol' USA, so they must enjoy a nice grasshopper when they're hungry." It's exotic. It's cool. It's taboo. But I honestly don't believe the Thai routinely eat bugs. It's all a show for us gullible foreigners.
Moving on, I saw that there is a shampoo bottle in my bathroom with Marine Algae Extract. When was the last time that you saw algae in your fish tank and wanted to rub that junk in your hair? I swear to Jehovah you can take anything "natural", "organic", or "marine" and sell it. Throw a little greeen background with leaves and water and ka-blamo, you've got people buying it. Marine Algae? I just did a search for it and all I could find is that it might help plants grow.
