Pouting PETAphiles Ponder "Proudbody Patdowns" @ PDX
The success of PETA's "proud body" campaign depends on ubiquitous distribution of TSA's full-body scanners at all major airports. Unfortunately, the scanners slated for Portland International Airport (PDX) have failed to materialize and "Portland is not on TSA's deployment list" for the remainder of the year. Can PETA's "proud body" campaign successfully exploit any furtive gropings and fondlings TSA's "handlers" inflict upon Portland's air travel victims?

- Researchers sound alarm over radiation from body scanners

Clearcut Cell Towers; Leave The Trees
Perhaps you're one of the dozens--if not hundreds--of folks across Consumertopia who has permanently switched off your cell phone because you can no longer feel good about our culture's "insatiable demand for electronics products such as cell phones and laptops" that "fuel waves of sexual violence" in places "that most of us will never go." No more trade in conflict minerals for you! And you're no longer overheating your brains with cell phone radiation and looking foolish by pressing an electronic gadget up against your head while chattering aimlessly as you hurtle down the highway or stumble along the sidewalk. But wait; there's something more: cell phone towers. They gotta go. Good news! You're invited to attend a workshop that'll show you how to get rid of 'em.
