Southeast to Southwest: I Could Screw Your Study
I Could Screw Your Study
Slowly, I'm coming to the conclusion that I would be an "outlier" in almost every study under the sun. Recently, I mentioned the "Fat People are Dumb, Jocks are Smart" study where being fat hasn't made me fail in school. In fact I graduated college with a 3.98 GPR. Go figure.
Now, they've come up with a new study that says if you're fat you must have sexual dysfunction and can't get it up. Okey dokey, "Docs" let's hear what you have to say on this:
New York - Sexual dysfunction that commonly occurs in morbidly obese men improves after weight loss surgery, according to a new study.
After losing an average of two-thirds of their excess weight, men experienced significant improvements in sexual function, with the amount of weight loss predicting the degree of improvement.
Really, "Doctor" Dallal. You studied a whole 97 fat guys and managed to extrapolate that to the entire population of the world. Really?
You know, I wonder if the good "doctor's" study was underwritten by one of the companies that makes the new "Lap Bands" used in obesity surgery. What better way to get more guys in the OR than to tell them: "Hey, don't worry about that other stuff. If you're chubby then you're impotent or soon will be."
Oh, well, another junk science study. Ninety-Seven fat dudes does not make a study it makes a meeting of a Girth and Mirth club. I can assure "Dr." Dallal that sexual dysfunction is not a problem of this chubster. In fact, I'm sure Michael sometimes wishes it was!
