Every disease, no matter how crazy, has a victim. And sometimes, just recognizing that these victims exist is a step in the right direction. [Italics added.]
Who indeed could blame them? Actually, this is probably a useful metric on the Fox demographic overall, to say nothing of how Fox News keeps baiting its viewers with so much sensationalism. Which are perhaps the most frightening things about the story. . . .

Mike,

It was actually a reprint from Askmen.com who prides themselves with a "stable of experts and quality writers," it was not an original epichairekakic Fox News story.

After researching the Askmen.com "about" page their statement is "We're IGN Entertainment, a leading online media & services company obsessed with gaming, entertainment and everything guys." Looks to me more like a progressive, liberal mix of GQ, People and Playboy. Not a bad thing but hardly Fox News conservative, epichairekakia-type"yellow" journalism! Good thing, at least they didn't have us growing hair on our palms and tearing wings off of small insects! Whew!

Happy New Year to all!
