The Whopper Virgins
www.whoppervirgins.com
This is a documentary made as an advertisement for Burger King. The idea is that the BK people are going in to cultures that are so separated from American culture that they've never heard of a hamburger and seeing if they like Whoppers or Big Macs better. They call it "the world's purest taste test". I'm still not quite sure what to make of it but it's pretty damn interesting. Teasers for the documentary have been running as 15 and 30 second spots on American TV.

Has Obama quit smoking?
I can't think of any celebrity in recent memory, or anyone else, where the question of whether he's quit smoking or not, is considered something newsworthy. Can you?
