Dealbreaker’s Jon Shazar reassures<\/strong> us<\/a> by excluding<\/strong> Green Cannabis from the category of “marijuana hedge fund,” contrary to its earlier inclusion<\/strong> by HedgeCo. It’s just a privately traded manufacturing company – of cookies and candy made with marijuana. But hedge funds might invest in it! It’s not clear where these would be sold.<\/p>\n

ExtremeTech’s Sebastian Anthony wanted to include<\/strong> the World Press Photo of the Year in the category of “fake,” labeling<\/strong> it as a danger, and Foreign Policy’s Dana Stuster even wants to exclude it<\/a> from the category of “photo,” on the grounds that it’s a bait-and-switch.<\/p>\n

Ring of Fire Radio’s Joshua De Leon wants to transfer<\/strong><\/a> the Food and Drug Administration’s “510(k) expedited approval” from the category of “approval” into the category of “rubber stamp,” labeling<\/b> it because it constitutes a bait-and-switch<\/strong> allowing dangerous products like Boston Scientific’s defective “Pinnacle Pelvic Floor Repair Kit” (ow) to be marketed without necessary oversight.<\/p>\n

CBS DC’s Chris Lingebach reports that NFL analyst Jason La Canfora speculates<\/a> – hypothetically! – that Washington Capitals hockey team captain Alex Ovechkin isn’t really a team captain. By excluding<\/strong> Ovechkin from the category of “team captain,” he accuses him of playing a bait-and-switch<\/strong> on his team.<\/p>\n

Mexican food authenticity fetishism of the week: Gawker’s Caity Weaver wants to exclude<\/strong> Taco Bell’s Waffle Taco from the category of “taco” on a slippery slope<\/strong> argument, because hey, you could just put a marble in your hand and have a hand taco! Newser sums it up<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
