Those hot women hanging around a Lamborghini parked in front of a mansion while some guy talks about his amazing real estate tips? Paid actors caressing a rented car in front of a rented mansion. I wouldn't be surprised if many of the people pitching paid promotions on local news are themselves paid actors.

If someone has an alkaline vagina, they have serious medical issues. If I, as a male with no medical training, can catch on that line of shit, how did a female chief medical correspondent breeze on by it? My best guess? The correspondent is only listening enough to follow the script, and either is indifferent to medical accuracy on these segments or is told to just follow the script.
