Every day, it seems, we are given the results of a completely useless ’study’ in news reports.
These usually share one or all of the following elements of uselessness:
- Absolute mind-crushingly obviousness - e.g. “Scientists have discovered that people enjoy doing nice things…”
- Completely pointless research - e.g. “Researchers at the New York University have this week announced that people who like dogs also have hair on their body…”
These stories are thrown at us with startling regularity.
One can be forgiven for thinking that many ’scientists’ and ‘researchers’ are literally wasting thousands of hours - and dollars - investigating things that are either a) completely bloody obvious or b) not worth knowing.
Research something interesting; something useful; or something which I could not have logically hypothesized myself.

And most of the useless studies are broadcast on television and radio as background for yet more scare stories: “Middleclass people enjoy/abuse drink”, “Young people binge drink”, “eating junk food makes you fat” etc etc.
Leave it out, please.
i agree with you!!! it seems that the ones who write articles in this page are clever!!! unfortunatly i live in this f***ing country where everybody is against me… those things that the media tell us are well known and they don’t need to say it over and over again. there are things that you know because it is pretty obvious {Edit, language - Mod}
