Why exactly should we believe anything they say when there is a conflict of interest to do what is necessary to generate ratings? Its quite simple really. Get people mad at the way things are they tell them its everyone elses fault. Awards

Bullshit. The study says that only 2,392 adults took the test. Basically that article is COMPLETELY UNFOUNDED. Fun Fact: 0.0007% of Americans were sampled for that "study". Which Americans were sampled? Who knows! They could easily find that many hobos in any town. Edited March 7, 2014 by eidolonFIRE

I am sure there are quite a few that know HTML and never got laid... but instead pay good money to get led around by a chain and spanked. Lots of people in the world. Awards
