Random Irish man eats silkworms for American blogger. Foreign media doing scorpions-on-sticks pieces is just about the lamest form of journalism imaginable. It's hackneyed, cliched, predictable and useless. It relies entirely on the gross-out factor, and is basically Fear Factor on location. It creates an image of life in...
