A Strib item on insects as food, states, "Western societies require tailored media communication strategies and educational programs that address the disgust factor. Locusts in Australia, for instance, sound a little more appetizing when they’re called 'sky prawns.' "

Is it time to call the proliferation of these "Watchdog" politician-activist entities, wherever found, a plague of "sky prawns?"

Tasty, tasty, Sky Prawns.
