Remember a couple years ago when there was a shark scare all over the media after the kid in FL got his arm bitten off?
A follow up study was just released and - get this - they found out the media overhyped the problem. Who’da thunk? According to the article: “Scientists say people are more likely to be hurt by a hamster than by a shark.” [Insert obligatory Richard Gere joke]
Wonder how long it’ll take for them to realize ephedra isn’t the supplement boogyman? Overall, too late for that, I know, but we need more critical thinkers and less sheeple in the world.
BTW, if anyone’s interested, the CNN shark article is here: CNN.com - Survey: 'Shark summer' bred fear, not facts - Mar. 14, 2003
