In the past week or so, ads have popped up on the DC Metro with the slogan "Got Lactose Intolerance?" It then goes on to describe lactose intolerance and states that it disproportionately affects people of color. "If you are lactose intolerant, you may have grounds for a lawsuit." It gives a website address as www.milkmakesmesick.com. The graphic is of four people anxiously waiting to get into the bathroom.

I thought it was a joke -- a pretty good one -- but the website appears to be serious.

I love this town.
