People will buy anything. I'm going to start selling my arm pit hairs: A Chinese man who set up an online business selling dead mosquitoes says he's received 10,000 orders in just two days. Nin sells his mosquito corpses for six yuan - less than half a penny - each. His ad reads: "Truly killed by human hands. Can be used for science studies, decoration, and collection."

PR question. So how does that work? The Chinese man in the previous story admits that it's a publicity stunt. I'm not inclined to think the story leaked out by chance. Did he run this stunt, then do press releases to various online news agencies to get the word out? I assume that's what happened. They say a majority of newspaper articles aren't written by journalists or reporters. They're PR stories released by individuals and corporations.
Maybe I'll do a PR release for TDE. For every dollar I receive in Paypal donations, I'll kill a fly. No, that won't do it. Too intolerant of insect life. For every ten dollars I receive, I'll spank one of my kids and post a picture of the kid crying. No, that might bring social services to my porch (I'd rather entertain Darth Vader). For every twenty dollars I receive, I'll have another kid! No, not eco-friendly enough, and the resulting household economics weigh against me. Alright, for every fifty dollars I receive, I'll have another kid, plant a tree, and make the kid live in the tree like a wild ape person.
Now I'm getting someplace. Look for PR announcements shortly, but first I need to sell the idea to my wife.

Not just for Flint, Michigan anymore. This story comes from Oregon: Six inches of Elli Skiff's buttocks were exposed by her low-hanging pants and lack of underwear, a police officer observed on May 29 in the heart of Market Square. “Her pants were down to the point where people could see her privates,” prosecutor Stephen Kasmar told the Herald.
Maybe some people could reverse the trend by wearing their pants high, kind of like that geek from Saturday Night Live. They could accentuate the effect by wearing floods, white socks, and dark shoes. If they need to be indecent in the process, they could bunch up their pants around their genitals and maybe put an arrow on their shirt that points to that area of the anatomy.
I'm just trying think outside the box.
