As reported here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here and elsewhere, the previously discussed rights to the ebola.com domain were offered for US$150,000.
Well, Russian owned Weed Growth Fund bought it for US$200,000. However, US$50,000 is in cash and US$150,000 is is the form of 19,192 shares in Cannabis Sativa, Inc..
The plan is to use ebola.com to publish inside information and coverups related to Ebola treatment. However, it may be a conspiracy theorist paradise given the stated belief that marijuana may aid Ebola treatment.

cafebabe, I see what you did... and I think it's hysterically funny.
For those who didn't catch it, there's a Daily Mail link in the last "here" and I believe it's a subtle dig at my "no Daily Mail" rant I recently brought up again. Well, I'm ok with what you did because there are other links as well. And I had a good laugh. I have to admit, there are times I do like your humor. And you do say interesting things that are thought provoking.
Well played. Take a bow. You "win" this round. ;) And if you ever come to Hamburg, I'll buy you a round.

I'm not convinced. Aren't you just trying to shoehorn that point in yet again? I've just replied to your rant [soylentnews.org].
If someone submits a Daily Mail story, or a Mirror or Express or Sun story for that matter, you could always find a story elsewhere on the same topic and post that in a reply. Or put in submissions yourself in which the only links are to stories from organizations that you perceive to be more accurate on average.

I almost forgot the hyperlink to the Daily Mail but I'm glad that it was appreciated. People seem to be under the impression that I think the Daily Mail is a credible source of information. This is certainly not the case [soylentnews.org] although it has comic effect which must be self-parody [soylentnews.org].
Look, the conspiracy theorist Nexus Magazine [nexusmagazine.com] mutually cites the Other Place, this forum mutually cites the Other Place which mutually cites the Daily Mail which mutually cites Return Of Kings [returnofkings.com] which mutually cites Jezebel [jezebel.com]. You wouldn't do anything important with information from these sources without making further checks.
But the more general problem is that a large proportion of "news" comes from three newswires (Reuters, Associated Press, Bloomberg) and it often gets "reported" without change. So, when people complain that I'm hyperlinking to the Daily Mail URL-space, I may be hyperlinking to something absurd or I may be hyperlinking to the best source of newswire images [soylentnews.org]. Admittedly, this may not be clear given that I have an oblique sense of humor.
