It was in the Daily Mail so it must be true

I don't read cook books and I'm fat.
It's all the cooking shows you watch then.
Ah right. You got me there. Am just watching the Great British Bake-off spin-off show. I can feel myself expanding!
Took me three tries to fix all the typos in this thread title.No, I've not been drinking today. Yet.
People who read erotica are interested in sex. I am so glad that the Daily Fail is there to tell us that.People with an active sex life occasionally binge drink. That's another surprise.
People in abusive relationships read about people in abusive relationships.
A study finds a link between these things and Fifty Shades, but cannot say whether the book is the causal factor or if they were already like that. The Mail writes this as if Fifty Shades causes all this ...
... and that's perhaps the least surprising thing of all. Sadly.
Funny there was no mention of Big Brother or Made In Chelsea. Those programmes are more likely to have a bad effect on 18-24 year old.
I think I read a study somewhere that found people who read the Daily Mail tend to laugh out loud more often than people who don't.
Thats because they are laughing at the comedy articles in the paper.
Oh, I thought it said Daily Male. Would make more sense.
I always think of it as the Daily Fail anyway.And occasionally point and laugh at people in shops who buy it...
I'm sure they buy it for the crossword.
I look at it on line free - I don't pay for rubbish, firstly it never fails to amaze me what crap they print in the name of journalism, and then secondly why do I even look at it.
I did buy a copy once. They were giving away a Prince CD I wanted. I walked out of the shop, took out the CD, and stuffed the rest of the rubbish into a bin without looking at it. Then went back into the shop and thoroughly washed my hands
My elderly Mum reads it. When I visit her I just have to sit down and read the latest copy, chortling and snorting all the while. The slightly scary thing is that she actually believes most of it.
I've always had a soft spot for the Daily Mail Ontological Oncology Project, charting the paper's quest to classify all inanimate objects as either causes of or cures for cancer (sometimes both). It's now sadly defunct, although various successor sites exist.http://dailymailoncology.tumblr.com/
Like it! I particularly like the vitamin jab on 23 Dec that "shinks" tumours.I'm all for a good shinking. Isn't that what the drunken passenger said about the Titanic?
Its the paper equivalent of snake oil.

Richard!You have a filthy mind.
I like that.
No problem there with '50 Shades' for me as the Daily Mail said it only affected 'Young women'. As if they'd know. As they don't have any scientifically qualified journalists on their staff, I wouldn't take any notice anyway. But just in case anyone is seriously interested in losing weight - gradually, healthily etc - just go do the 5:2 diet. It's a breeze.
Is that 5 units of wine to 2 of food?*Dashes off to increase wine stock*
depends what you count as 2 units of food!
I've gotta stop reading cook books. No wonder I'm fat.
