We're tackling everything from funeral insurance frustrations in South Africa to over-engineered foldable beds and Pilates reformers on Kickstarter.

We hear about radioactive pigs in Fukushima, chemtrail bans in the US Congress, and an Irish family’s creative attempt to skip a restaurant bill.

There's also a disgruntled group of Chinese gold-diggers, fake prescription pills,

and more.
