It cites Emmetsburg’s green beer dye hoax and Des Moines Register’s expose, stressing trust between sources and journalists. Ombudsman Kenneth Starck is quoted.
The piece reviews a new product called the Biniki described as a rear brassiere aimed at enhancing buttocks. It notes invention by Dr Karin Hart in California in 1998, claims from a press release, and a testimonial praising its reception at work. The author humorously predicts fashion shifts and ends with a personal joke about enrolling his daughter in a nunnery.
