Yes, I know, huge selection, I'm talking about any news story ever put on the program 60 Minutes in ANY COUNTRY.
If possible, link to a video of it and/or describe what the story so damn stupid.
As for me, it would be the story where they go after D&D. I wasn't born yet when they ran it but I've read a general description of it and it sounded more retarded than an ejector seat on a helicopter.
And over to you guys.
If 60 Minutes has ever done a show on fearmongering and alarmism in the media, I will probably fall off my chair laughing.

It took me two hours to watch 60 Minutes the last time I tried. Gawd, there are better things on TV...

I like Mythbusters. Stupid media hype gets it's ass handed to it.

And don't forget the Killian documents (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Killian_documents) controversy brought to you by 60 Minutes II (I refuse to call it Rathergate! It seems like everytime some scandal crops up it gets the suffix -gate tagged on. This really annoys me.). I'm sure there are many more than what wikipedia has highlighted.
Really, take your pick.

The Ka 50 Werewolf (Hokum) features and ejector seat, it blasts the rotors off before firing the seat. ;)

It's an American programme, so this thread is a bit like the 'World Series' in Baseball.

No, there are Canadian, Australian and (I believe) British versions also.

There's no British version.
Wiki says there is an Aussie version, a NZ one, and one in France and Portugal. So slightly more international than I first thought. I can't really contribute much more to this thread than that.
