Cell phones cause brain tumors, according to the newest banner headline on the DrudgeReport. The story it's linked to explains how a new study, soon to be published, will provide the data needed to prove this long-rumored assertion. The comments alrady on the story-link include one from a blogger claiming much more.
Communications crisis anyone?
I've seen it time and time again while on the road.
Cell? Sell!
I rarely use my cell phone but if this is true most of the country is dead.
Good!
Get some of these dangerous basterds off the hiways!
Semper Safety!
Cell phones cause Drudge headlines?
0bamy wouldn't give up his Blackberry.
I always wondered where they came from.
Earpieces and txtng = safer cell.
A very good point. Maybe someone should do a select poll of every congressman and Senator to see if they still use cells or allow members of their family to use them. And, if not, why are they not going on the House or Senate floor and telling America about the situation.
If you know, give me a ring on my cell.
John Kerry has gone back to post it notes.
How many years have they been crying this? At least 20 as I recall.
Sounds more to me that along with regulating our self defense, transportation, food supply and nearly every other aspect of our lives, big government is prepared to curtail free communication as well.
Wow - Sales of that car phone jack thing will go through the roof.
Debunked myth from the 1990s being recycled by the Marxist “More Goverement is good” junk science crowd that believes in myths like Global Warming.
Exactly. This is just a plot for more government regulation. The idiots falling for this probably believed in global warming at one time, too.
LOL
That's what I tell my kids when they chide me about never using mine.
I tell them really important folks have "people" to take care of that stuff.
The example I use is Roger Penske at the Indianapolis Speedway. You never see him talking on a cell phone.
I’ve learned not to believe any scientific study that will lead to more government regulation.
LONG-term mobile phone users could face a higher risk of developing cancer in later life, according to a decade-long study.
The report, to be published later this year, has reportedly found that heavy mobile use is linked to brain tumours.
The survey of 12,800 people in 13 countries has been overseen by the World Health Organisation.
The government will ban cell phones for our own good. Won’t that be great. They tried with cigarettes. It’s up to us what we want.
I hope you guys are right and this is just a gov attempt to stop communication. That’s the best case scenerio. If it’s true, like one poster on the linked story implies, the eventual legal case on this against the cell phone companies will make the case against cigarettes look like a fender bender.
I am especially convinced when I discovered this study was conducted by the Neo Marxist at the World Health Organization.
I think they will put a "health tax" on them to make us pay for the medical care of those who get the tumors.
On threads like this I love to sit back and watch the celluddites make fools of themselves.
Ask yourself, how many really important people use socket wrenches?
And what the F does that have to do with anything??

I had a former employee call me earlier today inquiring about a job, and at the end of the conversation he gave me his phone number. I asked the former employee if this was a new cell phone number and he told me yes this was his Obama phone. I asked him what an Obama phone was and he went on to say that welfare recipients are now eligible to receive (1) a FREE new phone and (2) approx 70 minutes of FREE minutes every month. I was a little skeptical so I Googled it and low and behold he was telling the truth. TAX PAYER MONEY IS BEING REDISTRIBUTED TO WELFARE RECIPIENTS FOR FREE CELL PHONES. This program was started earlier this year. Enough is enough, the ship is sinking and its sinking fast. The very foundations that this country was built on are being shaken. The age old concepts of God, family, and hard work have flown out the window and are being replaced with Hope and Change and Change we can believe in. You can click on the link below to read more about the Obama phone just have a barf bag ready.

why would they need a cell phone...some of us can’t and don’t have to have them???? ....what next??? Getting rid of the homeles and needy by 0Bamma?
Did you actually believe that poster? I thought he was full of crap. I’m sure he just happens to know the world’s leading expert on cell phone usage. Yeah right.
Socket wrenches cause cancer of the fingers.
isn’t Obama addicted to his cell and refused to give it up?
With friends like the doomsayers, I can sleep soundly, knowing their nanny-nattering and regulations will not harm me.
Right below this story is the one about “Cell Phones for the Needy”. Could this be a secret plot to get rid of the poor? In Obama’s economic world this could be serious.
This story comes up every year more lawyers trying to find a case and people to sue. The fact is to normal people there is no problem. Cancer has been found in the temple lobe and on the hip area of those with existing cancer or, problems with a deficient P25 gnome. A cancer that is inherited.
Okay, let me play:
“I hate cell phones. They are pretentious and I, um, hate them.”
“Cell phones are bad, mkay?”
“A 1980’s cell phone fell on me and gave me brain damage.”
“A cell phone bit my sister.”
Hey, this is fun!
A socket wrench bit my sister.....
I think he’s just addicted. To what I’m not sure.
An alligator clip bit my wife.
Well, there's your problem! You need a new gnome!
Cell phones for the needy is a Baraqqi program to help ACORN stay in contact with their “clients”, especially around election time.
The really important people get hemorrhoids not brain tumors from using their cell phone.
Live long enough and you’ll likely die of cancer of something or other. Oh well.
Yes, don't you know the Joooos have stopped using cell phones. Do you ever see Rahmbo Emanuel talking on a cell phone?

Oh. Nevermind.
WHO - Same organization that ranks the US near the bottom of the world in health care. I’ll wait until this study is confirmed by the American Idol judges panel before I consider it.
Well, of course. George Costanza handles the Penske file (and the calzones, too).
This is a study conducted by the World Health Organization, the UN’s public health arm. I don’t trust anything coming from the UN.
addicted to cigarettes and cell phones, both cause cancer....and he walks around healthy. go figure.
Look for the Gov’t to push a massive tax on cell phone use—for your own good, of course!
Whoa, wait a minute. Cell phone companies are evil, so if a lunatic on a street corner says they are bad, and the cell phone companies say they are safe, who ya gonna believe? Exactly! Lunatic on the street trumps evil cell phone company.
