This Research Gig Too Good To Pass Up

A German research published in New England Journal of Medicine and Weekly World News said that men staring at women's breasts in fact prolong their lives with years.

"Just 10 minutes of staring at the charms of a well-endowed female such as Baywatch actress Pamela Lee is equivalent to a 30-minute aerobics work-out," said author Dr. Karen Weatherby, a gerontologist.

The team led by Weatherby was made up of researchers at three hospitals in Frankfurt, Germany, and found this results after monitoring for 5 years the health of 200 male subjects, half of whom were asked to look at busty females daily, while the other half had to abstain from doing so.

For five years, the boob oglers presented a lower blood pressure, slower resting pulse rates and decreased risk of coronary artery disease.
What does a guy have to do to get a job as a researcher these days? And how exactly did they manage to convince the research advisory committees that this was research worth funding? Well, when you show boobs, anything goes.

So, if we've got to see boobies for 10 minutes a day to gain a benefit, here's my response:





UPDATE:
Well, Snopes says that this is a bogus story, and the news outlet got taken by the story. Heh. I'm not going to take any chances, so why should you?
