Guide Review - Scandal Monger
Scandals of all types are covered in Scnadal Monger. If you're a fan of television shows like E! True Hollywood Story and VH1 Behind the Music, you should do well.
Categories include Rock and Roll Wrongdoing, Political Intrigue, Hollywood Highjinks, Miscellaneous Misdeeds, and Unsportsmanlike Conduct. Questions cover more than five decades of bad behavior, although more recent scandals get the lion's share of coverage.
If you know the answer to questions like, "Which Internet news source first broke the Monica Lewinsky story?" (The Drudge Report), you might want to pick up a copy of Scandal Monger and have a good time reveling in your knowledge of the misdeeds of others. Most players, however, should just skip this game.
