    DM: Cancer Risk from Facebook

    Everything either gives you cancer or it makes it go away. How to simplify the reporting of science:
    Social networking sites such as Facebook could raise your risk of serious health problems by reducing levels of face-to-face contact, a doctor claims.


    I especially liked this jokey comment:
    I think the real issue people are forgetting here is that using Facebook MUST be having some effect on house prices?

    So if I understand correctly, not exposing yourself to germs is a serious health risk?

            Since the use of mobile phones has been given the green light in hospitals, leading to the drop in income from the 50p a minute communal phones in the wards, research has show MRSA is spreading through the use of mobile phones.

            There was me thinking it was just down to cutbacks and poor hygene, how daft.

                Do you know what concerns me most of all? That there are people out there DUMB enough to read that nonsense and take it seriously.

                That and the fact that someone was actually paid money to write it!

                  The Daily Mail is quite possibly the worst paper money can buy these days. Full of lies and non facts.
                  Being involved in a story they carried last year was a real eye opener. When you know what's really happening and then read the crap they print you being to wonder if the editors know this and do it all on purpose.

                    I absolutely hate introductions like this.


                    I'm still waiting for the onion to announce that they actually bought out the daily mail about a decade ago.

                        Meh. I'm one of the three people that doesn't use Facebook. The above isn't really anything I didn't already know or suspect.

                        Nice use of Boards of Canada.
