No, not in general. If numerous, repeatable, well done, and verified studies show that oragutan hair is 25% harder to cut than monkey hair, THEN let's hear the damn study results in the news. Am I wrong in thinking that the news shouldn't be advertising every frikkin study by every monkey's uncle every night, as if one lousy, possibly flawed, study actually means "YES THIS IS PROVEN FACT NOW"? "EAT MORE TWINKIES BUT CUT BACK ON THE FROOT LOOPS" How about this suggestion, news? Shut up! YES! I know that carrots are good for you. Thanks for the news flash, you idiots!  We've only known this fact...for years! Why does it seem like eggs are good for you one week and then bad for you the next? It's the stupid media's fault! The next time I hear about 50 lab rats who had their asses shrink 24% because they ate corn flakes in the morning, compared to the other 50 who ate pizza and cheesesteaks, I'm gonna....send a nasty letter or something!

I recall David Letterman once quoting a study which concluded that divorced men remain willing to have sex with their ex-spouses.
He asked if a study like that was really needed: "Think a moment. This is a country where we need laws prohibiting sex with corpses."

i know what you mean about eggs. they flip flop on all kinds of stuff tho and keep saying whatever used to be good is bad and vv. i swear one of these times they're going to announce that cigarettes whiskey and porn reduce heart disease.

Excluding esoteric scientific studies which actually do have merit which is oblivious to the casual observer, things like this really raised my ire when I was reading The National Enquirer on a weekly basis... sheesh... one of the worst stories involved government ashtrays that were regulation-tested so they would have to break into 6 clean pieces when dropped. What's wrong with this story? Well, for one thing, after breaking the ashtray, there's kind of a problem with using it anymore.  I hope these scientists really aren't some crackpots getting ahold of Matthew Lesko's books and abusing them, 'cuz it ain't exactly free FrEe FREE. |

From: Cross Lament Silly Garoad! News isn't about news, it's about selling news! That's my actual conclusion here and I'm sure that's why we get to hear about every frikkin study ever done. They don't have any "real" news left (in actuality too stupid, lazy, or "unable to report on" the tons of stuff that should be in the news), so they bait people to watch the show until the end with this kind of crap. (Then when they finally get to the part at the end you wanted to see, it's 2 mintues long, you already knew it all, and then the show ends.) There are so many good things they have the opportunity to show at the end of the news that would help people, yet they continue to tell us for the 500th time that being overweight is bad for you.

Recent studies reveal that some people have never been studied. Until recently.
....makes perfect nonsense.
