MORE BULL SHIT STUDIES
This morning
the local TV News bobbleheads reported on an interesting study. Some numbnutz somehow conducted a study which
proved that the fans of a losing football team eat less healthy than fans of
the winning team.
How was this
determined?
Why was this
determined?
Who gives a
rodents backside?
What is any
one supposed to do with this information?
Studies have
been done ad nausea determining that people that are depressed do not eat as
healthy as people that are not depressed.
It does not take a huge leap to assume the fans of a losing team are
more depressed than the fans of the winning team, so why was this study needed.
I am going
to guess that Brides who are left at the altar eat less healthy than Brides
who are not left at the altar. Students
that flunk out of school eat less healthy than the Valedictorian. People who drive crappy cars eat less healthy
than those who own a Corvette.
People who
(add any unsuccessful endeavor here) eat less healthy than people who (add any
successful endeavor here.)
Stop it with
these stupid worthless studies which are fake, made up nonsense crap that does
not go past a peer review because they are so silly. They serve only to allow the morning news
nitwits to make a lame joke segue between a fiery school bus crash and the
weather report!
I think the
problem is every year thousands of psychology students need a thesis to get
their doctorate, and all the relevant topics have been taken.
In the
interests of science here are my suggestions for future bull shit studies:
Do vacuum
lines in the carpet mean you’re going to get lucky?
Do dogs wag
their tails because they are happy, or is it a form of canine Tourette’s?
Why do birds
sing so gay and lovers await the break of the day
why do they fall in love?
why do they fall in love?
Where does
Dr. Phil get all his resources?
How much
wood would a woodchuck chuck if a woodchuck could chuck wood.
Is a Diner
really a Diner if the waitress does not call you Honey?
Do people
who exercise more than two hours a day lose more weight than people who eat
donuts and then purge?
Who are
happier, dog people or cat people?
Who put the
ram in the ram-a-lam-a-ding-dong?
Is there a
woman alive above the age of 35 who has not seen every episode of “Sex and the
City” at least five times?
Why do
people who read this blog eat unhealthy food?
Obviously there is way too much government "research" grant money available.

You have made me laugh very loud and long in a very quiet French Internet place! I quite agree with the above comment -- it's all about getting grants -- think of all the people who have jobs thanks to these idiotic studies!
ReplyDeletethe donuts and purge made me laugh. now i've got to go exercise for 2 hours...
ReplyDeleteLove it. I cannot believe some of the studies they conduct - such a waste of money. And it's my money they're wasting!
ReplyDeleteOh, well done. :-)
ReplyDeleteThink I'll have a salad for lunch!

For the record, I'd like to state that I am well over 35 and have not seen every episode of Sex in the City. My husband owns a Corvette and is a closet McDonald's eater and I eat celery whilst reading your blog... Am I an anomaly?
ReplyDeleteHow about a study on duck genitalia...

there was also one done of the sex life of frogs... years back.. wonder if anything good came from it. suppose I'll google and see
So many of these grants seem to be for absurd research. No one ever mentions the supposed benefits of this research.
ReplyDeleteWell...I'm a 44 year old woman and I have not seen one single full episode of Sex in the City! Seriously, can't stand that show.
ReplyDeleteA recent study showed that most followers of your blog don't give a crap about studies!!
ReplyDeleteI thought you knew dogs are happier than cats. And cats don't give a rats backside about either part of the study.
ReplyDeleteYou caught me. I popped a Junior Mint just before I started reading. It can't be undone.
ReplyDeleteCANINE TOURETTE'S! I VOTE CANINE TOURETTE'S!
