Brickbat: The Tick

Falk66 / Dreamstime

Members of Japan's Miyazaki prefectural government say that in retrospect it was a bad idea to bring a deadly tick with them to a press conference to warn about the dangers of a tick-borne disease. The tick got away, and even with help from the reporters at the press conference, officials were unable to find it.

In light of the ongoing threats from the DPRK, I actually think the prefecture's decision to initiate a superhero development program is aptly timed.

How about using kittens as bait for fishing for sharks or muskies? Would that be OK?

Something something, blood-suckers sticking up for other blood-suckers, something something, lugenpresse, etc.

The tick made its way into the Fukushima reactor and is now doing battle with Godzilla.

Does this count as biological warfare against the press?
