Isn't it the job of the authorities to ferret out scammers? And by the same token, is a newspaper responsible for verifying the claims made by its advertisers? I do not believe little Christian made 322% any more than I believe that Miller Lite tastes great. Or in the words I am about to put in the mouth of Samuel L. Jackson, "Caveat emptor, motherfucker!"
