Steal This Radio
With Mitchel CohenMitchel
exposes the bottled water scam -- Aquafina (owned by Pepsi) and Dasani
(owned by Coke) turn out to actually be filtered TAP WATER, despite the
"mountain stream" images on the labels. Together, they amount to around
$4 billion annually in sales. And Poland Spring, which is owned by
Nestle, is problematic as well. The Aquafina and Dasani labels will now
read "from a P.W.S." -- i.e., Public Water Source (meaning: tap water).
Yippie humorist Paul Krassner brought this story to our attention in
his "A-Holes of the Week" blog at www.huffingtonpost.com/paul-krassner/assholes-of-the-week-4_b_59094.html in which he discovers that PWS actually means "piss without sodium" ..... Also, see: http://money.cnn.com/2007/07/27/news/companies/pepsi_coke/
Mitchel
also looks into some media "misrepresentation" of some articles on the
Iraq war, and NYC's revised spraying of toxic pesticides. The city is
currently spraying Anvil 10 + 10, which is an endocrine disruptor. For

And,
we look at the Marijuana imprisonment rate in the U.S., thanks to info
from our friends at the Marijuana Reform Project. There are now 7
million people either imprisoned in the U.S. or on parole/probation. <http://www.MarijuanaPolicy.org>
