If you watch TV or browse the internet, you've probably heard the punch lines about Entourage star
Jeremy Piven's bout with mercury poisoning. (David Mamet: "[He's] pursuing a career as a thermometer.") The mainstream media has treated the news as if it were a made up mystery ailment. But mercury poisoning is the real deal. Piven blames his acute mercury-poisoning symptoms (memory loss, dizziness, sensitivity to light) on the large amount of sushi he eats.

Monterey Bay Aquarium's Seafood Watch and these countrywide
health organizations.
