Incredible cure for baldness found!!!!!!!

Postby rokkstar on Wed Aug 23, 2006 9:38 pm

<rant>
I have the tv on at the moment, whilst I do a little bit of work.
The tv is on some program called "We're killing the kids" or something.

Premise:
Kids leading an unhealthy life, so "state of the art computer graphics" generate an image of your kids when they are 40 based on their present lifestyle.
Outcome is that the kids look terrible, drawn, fat, and here's the pivotal item,.....bald!

Parents get a little bit anxious at this and decide to follow "experts" tips on how to improve their kids health.

Enter 3 week plan which has the family do 9 tasks.

3 weeks later, family return to see how their new healthy lifestyle will affect the kids when they reach 40.

Well, this is the fascinating bit. The kids look healthy, fit, they have a sparkle in their eye. Generally they look like healthy men. With one minor difference....they formally bald at 40 kid now has a healthy mane of hair!!!!!!1

Well, I am absolutely gobsmacked at this incredibe scientific discovery. There I was, lead to believe that baldness was hereditary!! What a chump I am - it turns out that if you cut your takeaway intake from 19 to 2 times a week and go for a horse ride with your mum then you will never lose your hair!

Sorry about that rant everyone but honestly, what a pile of fucking arse!!!

Matt

If it was a "pile of fucking arse" as you put it I'd have hair on my head still :lol:

The first BIG mistake you made was watching the shit reality TV that the masses settle for as entertainment these days. The second big mistake was expecting intelligent health and nutrition info on commercial TV. BTW unsurprisingly I don't see why bald is bad (toupee's OTOH :evil: )

Seems realistic to me! With the kids better nourished, better behaved and happier, they will do better in their studies and careers, and will be able to afford hair replacement therapy (or toupées) when they go bald.

I would suggest you take this misrepresentation to that bastian of truth - commercial TV current affairs! Hidden cams will show the truth.

Matt, I saw the end of it, too (waiting for House to start :)

As far as I got it the subtext was, the boys got a castration before they turned 16, hence there was no testosteron later on that could have messed with their hair follicles. :wink:

I've also noticed on previous occasions of waiting for House that the "before" images always have a grim depressed look on the face, while the "after" pix are always cheerful, smiling and fashionable... But, hey, it was on TV, it must be true...

Cheers
Steffen.
