Hold Your Nose

You know how some news stories smell a bit fishy? Like a crazy mysterious news story is dreamed up by a PR firm to draw attention to something, or indirectly promote something? U.S. universities seem to regularly come out with a discovery or piece of research that coincidentally backs up a far-out theory used in the sci-fi blockbuster that's in cinemas from Friday, for example.

Well, this one honks of kippers.

I just can't work out what it is that's being promoted.

That's funny because we regularly get reports that "British researchers" have discovered great things like the amount of alchol imbibed by a person is directly proportional to how said drunk person will perceive someone's attractiveness level.

I don't think they're trying to sell anything, unless they need a tourist rush of hikers? Also, for this silly American, what is a kipper, anyway? LOL

As the wise Rose Tyler would surely agree, it must have been students... xx
