Extinction of Blondes Vastly Overreported: Media Fail to Check Root of ‘Study’ [link dead, was a Washington Post article]

I think this is my favorite part of the article:

“Future generations will never need to wonder whether a blonde bonce is natural — because every one will be from a bottle,” said the Express, adding that blondes such as Britney Spears “do have to endure jokes about being vague and a little short on brain cells.”

Apparently that applies to some journalists as well.

I must now return to worrying about a random assortment of things, including the Bat being in the path of a hurricane.
update: Oops. You aren’t losing your mind entirely and I apologize for any mental anguish I may have caused. For reasons I cannot even begin to explain, instead of a link to the Bat’s page above I inadvertanly linked to a picture of Donald Rumsfeld. There was no reason for this. It was a strange error and it has been fixed.

Yeah, those fuckers can bite my platinum roots. And my grandmothers’ on both sides. Then I’ll slay their asses at the intellectual contest of their choosing. Grr.

Happily some of the articles covering the original report link to the (current, no results yet) study directly, so I get to be a respondent. Woot!

I have to fix my template so that clicking a link in the comments doesn’t open the link in the little bitty comments window. Oh KD…you out there?
