(Found in the KH today)

First, I can't believe this a hole is claiming silk can do something that kimchi can't do better! He should be run out of town for being so damn anti-Korean.

Second, I didn't even know silk amino acids rejuvenated neckties and scarves.

Third, now you're telling me silk amino acids also cure just about everything that can ail a human? Oddly, I can find nothing in pubmed about this amazing silk/cancer cure thingy. But hey, big pharma must be keeping the cure from cancer a big secret. Who knew all this time it was silk.

Snake oil sales seem to be alive and well in this country.
