Google University

Signs attendance include links to various fringe websites, blogs, and media outlets well known for twisting facts to suit the position of the writer(s).

"Other than the provided bullshit from google searches links, the best evidence available is the anecdotal evidence provided by interviews with blank, blank, and blank. The government, doctors, scientists, corporations don't want you to know this because it will cost them money, power, legitimacy. I have A degree from Google University many years of experience in dealing with this issue. Tell your friends, this conspiracy to hide the truth must stop!"
