I swear, I had to look at the first couple of paragraphs of this article a couple of times before I was convinced it wasn't fake. But no, it ain't fake, just stupid.
"Mothers' genes contain bald truth about hair loss"
What gets me about this is that this is news. What gets me about this is that they had to do fancy-schmancy genetic research to find out what we've already known for decades and then they have the balls to try to pass it off as news.
OMFG, people are stupid.
Yes, OK, so the news in the story is that they actually figured out which genes do it. But you don't get to that till you're halfway through the story.
The lead is truly precious. "Sons have long blamed their fathers when they start balding prematurely ..."
I don't know about you, but whenever I've been at any sort of social gathering where someone hinted that he were becoming bald because of his father, or would lose his hair because of his father, or wouldn't because his father never did, that person has instantly been the subject either of polite education or outright ridicule. One wonders what moronic circles this writer moves in.
Maybe I'm just feeling mean this evening.
