We didn't start the bullshit...
... It's always been there, jsut in different piles.
In the 80s, schools told kids that wearing a Walkman was bad because hey, we heard about this one kid who was so busy listening to his walkman that he walked in front of a car. Bam splat. Ded. Because that's what Walkmans did to you.
True story.
Brought to you by the same people who assured us that the world was just wall to wall with drug dealers who'd give you that first hit for free to get you addicted and within 3 days of snorting a reefer, you'd be injecting heroin directly into your eyeballs with a turkey baster that had been used to scratch a cow's arse or something deranged.
This was delivered by a guy wearing mostly shades of brown, who was chain-smoking something that was pretty much road tar with some asbestos and formaldehyde for flavour, and drinking something called Babycham which had a label that turned about 36% of kids into furries.
Not that you could do much about it since the invention of the Interconnected Furry Network, a subset of which is called "The Inter- Net" had to wait for Tim "Bearness" Berners-Lee to stop messing with his Fursuit and finish coming up with an acronym to call his new network tech.
