MAD SOY DISEASE is attacking soybeans in Brazil, causing yield losses of up to 40 percent, most notably in the states of Mato Grosso, Tocantins and Goias. Speaking of which, MAD AMERICAN DISEASE is attacking Randy Quaid, the most prominent being Britney Spears, Lindsay Lohan and Mel Gibson. Apparently, what the soybeans and Randy Quaid have in common is that they have both been genetically modified.
