When I was in grade school, the police passed out warnings about "blue star" rub on tattoos that contained heroin. That was total bullshit too. Every time I read "proper" journalism I am reminded of how decadent, formulaic, and protocol-bound it is. I could almost predict what the next paragraph was going to say: New term & scare words: "i-drugs" "download drugs" Warning from officials Concerned parents Short, bullshit scientific-sounding claim of effects Another official warning New stupid policies: "stop using that cell phone on campus, druggie!" "Be aware", "take action" Be aware of what? Take action against what? Let's defrag the actual facts: 1) There is some software that claims to get you high. There is also software that claims to find you love, money, fame, etc. All bullshit. 2) The Oklahoma department of narcotics issues a "warning" about this. No claim, research, or proof of actual effects. No case studies, nothing. 3) The reporter took this and asked a bunch of people about it, who then reported being scared. 4) Article ensues, proper protocol is followed, no actual facts conveyed, "journalist" goes home.
