Syphilis From Facebook And 6 More Silly Sex Myths
Facebook causes syphilis, gay Teletubbies, rock n roll is devil's music and more silly sex myths.
We were appalled to read that researchers are blaming Facebook, of all things, for increased syphilis outbreaks in the U.K. Last year, Durham, Sunderland, and Teesside, the regions where Facebook is most popular, reported four times more than the usual number of syphilis cases.
