Reading This Article Can Give You Brain Damage

Who says this is dangerous???

In what is being dubbed by many (ok, just me) as the stupidest report this side of sanity, the British Daily Mail is reporting that using Facebook could have a link to contracting cancer….huh? That’s like linking Amy Winehouse to Lao Tzu.

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.

Emailing people rather than meeting up with them may have wide-ranging biological effects, said psychologist Dr Aric Sigman.

Increased isolation could alter the way genes work and upset immune responses, hormone levels and the function of arteries. It could also impair mental performance.

This could increase the risk of problems as serious as cancer, strokes, heart disease and dementia, Dr Sigman says in Biologist, the journal of the Institute of Biology.

WTF? Take it easy there, guy. We do not live in solitary confinement in a maximum security prison. We have enough dick wads and wack jobs walking around scaring the shit out of everyone about how “they” hate us for our freedom, how jerking off too much is bad for you, how running deteriorates the knees, how swimming too much weakens the muscles that running actually helps, how Avian flu is going to liquefy your brain, and how strapping a jet turbine to the top of your car and trying to launch across the Grand Canyon has the possibility of being dangerous, for you to tell us that keeping in touch with people over Facebook could cause heart disease or cancer.

Yeah so we talk less face-to-face than we did in the past. All of a sudden we are going to die? Could you imagine if the Sunni’s and Shiite’s did less face-to-face convening? Hmmmm??? Looks like Facebook actually saves lives now doesn’t it?

Let’s see: Heart disease or shot in the face by the guy next to me at the bazaar? I think I’ll ask my friends on Facebook for a good cardiologist.
