Haven't done a post lately about well-duh research into the obvious. Here's a marvelous candidate:
Can men and women be friends? It's an age-old question pondered in films like "When Harry Met Sally" and the recent viral YouTube hit, "Why Men And Women Can't Be Friends".
But now, researchers aren't asking if it's possible, instead questioning whether men and women should be friends in the first place, Post Media News reports.
To find out, researchers from the University of Wisconsin-Eau Claire examined opposite-sex friendships of more than 400 heterosexual adults, ranging in age from 18 to 52.
Published in the Journal of Social and Personal Relationships, the findings, which analyzed two separate studies, concluded that men tend to be more attracted to their female friends than the women felt toward their male pals.
As Harry explained to Sally, men are incapable of having attractive female friends without wanting to sleeep with them and, come to think of it, they pretty much want to nail the unattractive ones, too.
Since we're already sort of one the subject, have you heard about the shock and outrage over the former Playboy bunny with the tight dress and ample cleavage who came out on stage to give four Mexican presidential candidates cards with instructions on them? Haven't any of these complainers seen the rest of Mexican television? If you have Univision, check it out for a few hours to see the Americanized version of Latin TV Skinfest.
Actually, I think it would liven things up considerably to have the questions in political debates held up on cards by hot babes instead of coming from the microphone of boring old journalists. Not much can make Mitt Romney exciting, but that would at least make him tolerable.
