"bad idea" is known for its feature stories, which are often written in the first person. these have included insider accounts of life as a ‘honeytrapper’ – a private detective sent to ensnare potentially unfaithful husbands; an exposé of dubai’s sex trade; an investigation into the growth of ‘web 2.0’ sex dating sites; and a feature following iraq's kurds, as they search for dna evidence of saddam hussein's ‘anfal’ genocide.
