The BBC chief admits the network was guilty of a 'massive' Left-wing bias in the past. (American networks are still in denial.)

A new study reports that U.S. women who go to church instead of shop on Sundays are generally happier. (Besides, in today's economy, who has the money to shop.)

Japanese "Love Resort" Caters to Men With Virtual Girlfriends (This is idiotic. And my virtual girlfriend Jill agrees with me.)
