How young is too young?

After a public uproar, Abercrombie and Fitch have pulled their padded bikini bra for young girls off the shelf. There was a huge public outcry when the product was first announced that the bra unnecessarily sexualized young girls.

The radiation spilling over from the Japan power plant has not only made its way into the United States, but reports are coming out that radiation has been found in milk in Washington state.

A Colorado man claims to have President Obama's birth records. In what can be described as a "questionable" investigation, a former Air force Col. Gregory Hollister claims to have obtained President Obama's social security number. According to Hollister, the number was never issued by the social security department. Hollister is facing federal charges of identity theft.

In what can be described as a sad state of affairs, the Egyptian Army has been accused for torturing women and forcing them to undergo virginity checks. These checks took place after Mubarak had resigned from office and the protests in Egypt had all but ended.
