Daily Show


It's almost a Spy vs. Spy cartoon. Two spies engaged in the most duplicitous spy tricks available (poison, invisible ink, jetpacks, whatever) all to get not state secrets but intel from a candy bar company on how many peanuts really goes into a Mr. Goodbar. Sounds ridiculous, right? But according to Eamon Javers on tonight's Daily Show that's precisely what's going on. Large corporations are hiring CIA and KGB operatives to spy on their competitors! The worse part? The aren't retired operators but still employed by the government! Spying on China by day and on Hershey's by night. Very bizarre stuff. Mr. Javers book looks like it would be an interesting read.
