A BBC investigation has found that YouTube stars are being paid to advertise academic cheating, with more than 250 channels promoting a Ukraine-based site that allows students to buy essays.
Purchasing ghost-written essays is not illegal and does not pose plagiarism risks since it is brand-new content. But, it does raise questions about academic fraud, since students submit them as their own work.
Some YouTube personalities as young as 12 were being paid to personally endorse EduBirdie's services. in some of the videos, the YouTube personality has suggested to have a "super smart nerd" to the work, according to BBC.

PrePay...
A Chinese restaurant in Toronto has been ordered to pay a black customer $10,000 after a government human rights tribunal found the establishment discriminated against him by making him and three friends pay for their food before being served.
Emile Wickham, 31, filed a complaint with the Human Rights Tribunal of Ontario against the Hong Shing Chinese restaurant, where he and his friends, all black, dined on his birthday on May 3, 2014, and discovered that they were likely the only party asked to prepay for their order.
It seems that this is a set up. If the service is bad, go to another restaurant.

By Sunday night, the drumbeat of criticism had grown so loud that Margaret Talev, the head of the White House Correspondents' Association, released a follow-up statement saying Michelle Wolf whose name she didn't repeat undercut the point of the dinner.
Wolf delivered harsh and stinging remarks about Democrats, Republicans, President Donald Trump's adult children, Kellyanne Conway and WH Press Secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders.
C-SPAN radio stopped broadcasting her performance more than halfway through Saturday night and replayed an episode of "Washington Journal," instead.
It wasn't funny at all.
