Bad Science

http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/health/7808348.stm

I can't make my mind up with this article.

On the one hand, should this really be a news item. It really should be common knowledge to people or at least people with half a brain. You know, people who are willing to actually go out and learn more about things rather than simply accept the shit that is shoveled down their throats by the media. So I want to recommend everyone read "Bad Science" by Be Goldacre. It's a bloody good book and you'll learn something to boot.

On the other hand, it's a damn good thing because those who do believe in such rubbish can now learn the truth. That it's all a load of bollocks. So good on you "Sense About Science". Now we just need the ASA to pull their fingers out regarding "detoxing" products.

On a slightly similar note, I assume you've seen these awful, patronising Change 4 Life adverts. It's crappy propaganda from the government telling you what a shitty person you are. It tells you how you live a comfy life riding in comfy buses, what the fuck?, and watching you kids rot away playing video games, while you chow down on an industrial vat of buttered popcorn and munch a hotdog. Fuck you people. If you think this advert is "cool" and "makes a point" then fuck off and die. You are a worthless piece of shit and you would be doing everyone who has a brain a favour by dying, right fucking now. Fuck you people. Want to help, try sorting out the global economic crisis. Fuckwits.
