It doesn't save time, it wastes it. We have one less hour to write that paper or sleep or knock down little children. Oh, the horror!

Item three: Tae Bo.

Verdict: scamborama.

"Created" by a man named Billy Blanks, tae-bo has infomercials rivaling the biggest scam of all : political campaign commercials.

What sounds like a toilet cleaner, tae-bo is a martial arts aerobic hybrid workout sweeping the country and has even spawned copycat scam workout Tai-Fit.

IF you want martial arts, learn tae kwan do. If you want aerobics, look for a book in Widener 10 minutes before closing. If you want toilet cleaner, enslave children.

Item four: Slobodan Milosevic.

Verdict: scamalicious.

Just what is a Slobodan Milosevic? If we believe the mainstream press, "he" is the president of Yugoslavia and is responsible for the deaths and displacement of many Albanians.

But the name sounds like some sort of medical condition involving drooling. Example: "Stay away from that dude. He's got Slobodan Milosevic." Or:

"Now class, everyone be nice to our new special student, Agnok. Agnok is suffering from a rare salivary disorder known as Slobodan Milosevic."

Item five: ethnic cleansing.

Verdict: scamola!

It's a shame when language is manipulated and abused by those with an audience. Ethnic cleansing is just that.

Rather than say it's the destruction of a people by murder, forced migration and contamination with salivary disorders, news people like to say "ethnic cleansing" nowadays.
