The Today Show, once again
The societal ostriches over at Today have momentarily pulled their heads out of the sand once again to deliver this “shocking” report:
Teenagers who take a virginity oath are just as likely to have sex as teens who do not take the oath, and more likely to have said sex sans protection.
Um…no kidding? Teenagers have sex?! Teenagers rebel against oaths they are forced to take?!...
Bullshit Day Checklist
Gotta be at work at 9am? Check! Car frozen to the ground at 8am? Check! Chicago Transit Authority card cracked down the middle making it impossible to ride public transportation without spending a shit ton of extra money? Check!
