Blogging FUD in METRO

I found this little pearl of FUD in METRO:

Four in every five blogs on popular websites contain potentially offensive content, such as pornography, new research claims. Computer software firm ScanSafe, which commissioned the report, also found more than one in every 20 blogs, especially popular with children and teenagers, contain potentially catastrophic computer viruses, spyware or other harmful programmes1 that can steal private or confidential information. It also found that more than half of all children surveyed had looked at websites carrying adult material.

— METRO — Monday, April 23, 2007 — page 9.

I have only one thing to add: BOO!

  1. I left the typo… I didn’t want to pervert the original message!

Let me guess: I bet

Let me guess: I bet ScanSafe, who commissioned this report, are flogging some software that will protect us from all these evil blog viruses. And of course lazy reporters love these junk press releases.

Didn’t someone once say

Didn’t someone once say something to the effect of “If you’re not offended, I’m not doing my job.”?
