I saw this story on Digg today:

"A mother whose daughter was murdered is suing American Life Assurance of Columbus (AFLAC) because it has refused to pay the death benefit on life insurance the daughter applied for shortly before her death."

I don't know how often AFLAC refuses to pay claims for unsolved murders. The longer I am involved in the health care battle, the less I trust these large entities. There are no requirements for them to file reports on how they maintain their profits, no surveys on how long it takes to pay claims... it can make a person profoundly depressed about their chances to be treated fairly.

But, today at least, there is a fun way to try to fight back. There aren't any bills to reform the life insurance industry in Congress, so put down those picket signs. Instead, purchase one of these little guys:

Then murder him spectacularly, and upload the video to Youtube or Google video or whatever your preferred host is. Be sure to disguise your identity. Remember, 100% of the money goes to children's hospitals, even if they cannot solve the case! Here's some inspiring footage to get you started...
