Blondes make men dumb


Well, we are dumber for knowing Paris. (Getty images)

This just in from some important researchers:

Men's scores on general knowledge tests drop when they are shown photos of blonde women.

The Sunday Times of London reported that test subjects were not distracted by the light hair, but driven by social stereotypes to "think blonde."

Sounds like a stretch to me, but show me some photos of blondes and maybe I'll be dumb enough to believe it.

Just another ridiculous study that required real money.

Hello,

Actually, the paper studied the impact of implicit exposure to stereotypes on behavior. The Sunday Times reported false information concerning the sample of the 2 studies (actually, there were less men than womenin this studies).

Have a nice day.
