Reality TV stars agree to promote poison diet drink on Instagram

Yes, they are called "agents", with both eyes firmly fixed on the

The story isn't about a fictional "poison health drink" but wether

try.


I can remember that the magic letters "BBC" appeared on blank compact
cassettes and VHF radio aerials without any quality control whatsoever.
