Scientistis Find Cure For Autism
Excerpt:
Scientists in Tel Aviv, Israel, report they having succesfully cured autism in four boys today. By acknowledging that Schizophrenia may be the opposite of Autism, the scientists decided to cure these children by inducing schizophrenia. To do this they inject the children with toxoplasmosis, a parasite found in cat feces that is believed to infect the brains of mice and humans....

Now they just need a cure for Schizophrenia.

EDIT: Link fixed, now usually different news source

This reminds me of the Simpsons episode where they introduce an invasive species to get rid of an invasive species, than another to get rid of the new invasive species, etc.

Don't worry, the cold will cure the guinea worm infestations used to cure the anorexia.

Do you really think that kind of link is appropriate for this site? Really?

The fact that the cure was a joke was funny, the popup windows dancing around and refusing to close was not.

Neither was cancelling the browser's process, and restarting it to find it restored the previous session. :roll:

I didn't know the site spawned popups and all, as I visited it via IPod. Anyway, if it's like most rickroll sites they should stop eventually and you will be able to leave the page.

I was hoping this was an April Fools joke. :cry:

EDIT: Never mind, I guess it was.

Yeah, agreed. I force quitted it and it didn't come up again, but still, annoying.

By the way, it stopped and when I clicked close it said "that it was gonna give up" and kept repeating messages like this for the longest time, I must have pressed "OK" one hundred times and it still didn't close.

The link had a virus and my program removed it. I had to start a new session to get out of it.
