For news articles which seem so much like satire that you're surprised they're not from The Onion.

Rules
  1. Headlines must exactly match the articles'.
  2. Posts must be genuine news articles, not satire, opinion, or tabloid pieces.
  3. News must be current.
  4. Popular political, religious, or social views are not Oniony, no matter how ridiculous you may think them.

Pretty obviously a paid advertisement, for a company that wanted to take away the human right to water, and starved a bunch of babies in Africa.

There goes my respect for the independent. Pretty low of them.

I'm pretty damn sure it wasn't a physical hijacking. Zero reason for extra security.

Need to lockdown all of the internet based logistics. Hackers are just pirating the whole order & delivery.
