Tom Brokaw Caught In A Mosh

10/15/01 - The NBC Nightly News anchor says he might have been exposed to Anthrax, as shown here in this artist rendition.

A spokesman for the band declined to comment specifically about the incident, but condemned the staff of Humor Is Dead for illustrating the tasteless and obvious joke, and has threatened to send us a nasty letter.

In a related story, why was the government preparing new strains of anthrax, and stepping away from complying with the 1972 Biological and Toxin Weapons Convention, all while having BioPort the sole provider of a vaccine it hasn't even produced since 1998? And why didn't the company follow-up on serious adverse reactions reported by those that were inoculated? And isn't it in bad taste to say "we strive for profit while protecting life" on the BioPort home page?

Here's an FDA report on a BioPort inspection in November 1999.
More scandal: BioPort is the subject of two congressional hearings in July 2000.
