"Ecstacy can kill! Er... no, wait, maybe not..."

Muuuh!!!!

Stupidity. Utter stupidity. Not only is it appalling that such obviously flawed research got so well published and recited around the world, but such an elementary mistake needlessly cost the lives of the primates on which they were researching. Primates for research is a controversial area as it is, and with morons like these killing them off "by mistake", this can only be seen as a scientific own goal on several levels.

*Trys to imagine a bellend dancing*

Some joker down the pub the other night was telling me that the Shaman's Ebenezzer Goode song contains overt references to drug taking. What an idiot! I laughed at him into my lungs bled.

"It makes you dance like a bellend"

A stern warning from Ali G.

They should have done a different before and after test on those monkeys.

"Do you like cheesey house music?"

Monkey shakes head.

"Here take this pill. How about now?"

Monkey starts dancing and telling everyone that love is the only solution.

"Good God, somebody up the funding for the war on drugs."

I mean "if" not "of".

Damn.

The Daily Mail would have a field day of there was any truth in those findings.

He's saying the research indicated that 40% of users could die. He's pointing out how utterly flawed it was.

"He told the BBC: "Whatever we think about the toxicity of Ecstasy, 40% of people using it each weekend do not die."

What? So 60% do die?

What's he trying to say?

I'm seeing a bunch of monkeys in dayglo butterfly wings throwing shapes and gurning...is there any video evidence of this research?

I've never had the desire to take ecstasy.
Not through any fear or condemnation, but knowing me the way I do, the last thing I want is to be smiling and trying to hug people.

Foolish idiots.

At least I can now reassure some of my more hedonistic friends.
