Should Hot Dogs Have Warning Labels?

Three New Jersey residents are filing a class action lawsuit to force the makers of Nathan's, Oscar Mayer, Ball Park, Hebrew National and Sabrett franks to put warning labels on their hot dog packaging—not "WARNING: Hot dogs are revolting flesh tubes packed with lips and assholes," but "WARNING: Hot dogs increase the risk of cancer." A lawyer for the plaintiffs tells the Star-Ledger, "We view this just like the tobacco litigation. There is now a scientific consensus that processed meats are a significant cause of colorectal and other forms of cancer."

Daptone Records Robbed, But Still Running

Last Monday night, Daptone Records in Bushwick was robbed and the details of the break-in were released shortly after in an email to friends of the studio. The email stated, in part, that "there was a lot of equipment stolen and damaged. And, no, we did not have insurance. We had been shopping around with different companies earlier this month but had not signed a check." They had been in the building for 7 years, and, despite not having an alarm system, hadn't been robbed until last week.
