- decker12, on 06/23/2009, -1/+50I haven't seen that much stock photography since I helped my kid do his 4th grade newsletter.
- tallguyg, on 06/23/2009, -2/+35I almost buried this for: "And, really, who wants to serve salmon at a barbecue?"
barbecued salmon is amazing! - inactive, on 06/23/2009, -0/+29“Before the Wii, who ever worked up a sweat playing a video game in their living room?” says Paul Bragan, executive director at Wakefield Research, a leading gaming researcher.
DDR - EvilJelloMan, on 06/23/2009, -5/+29FTA:“Some beef fat is monounsaturated, which is the kind of fat that is good for you and actually helps lower LDL, or bad cholesterol, like the kind found in olive oil and avocado,” says George Faison, COO of DeBragga and Spitler and owner of DeBragga.com, an online purveyor of high-quality meats.
Well, since a guy who ***** SELLS MEAT FOR A LIVING says it's good for me, it must be true. He sounds legit.
Buried for idiotic biased opinions - Jabrams2, on 06/23/2009, -1/+24haha could you imagine: "Heroin- You THOUGHT it ruins your life, marriage, family, etc... YOU WERE WRONG. It actually helps prolong your life if used in moderation"
- KarateMedia, on 06/23/2009, -0/+19Leisure Suit Larry?
- Lanezy, on 06/23/2009, -1/+20So too much masturbation is a good thing right?
Please say it's going to be okay. - LogicBomB, on 06/23/2009, -0/+18I'm tired of the stupid ***** ways gamers are portrayed in advertisements. Nobody plays games with arms fully outstretched and legs kicking for no reason.
- ohLittleComment, on 06/23/2009, -0/+15Original Nintendo - Track and Field! Remember the mat you would pound with your hands as if you were actually running?
- BC200, on 06/23/2009, -1/+16Damn, Digg is predictable nowadays.
- homah, on 06/23/2009, -0/+13dying
- casspa, on 06/23/2009, -3/+15Hmm, so I guess 'frenemy' is a word now......sigh..... http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/frenemy
- Temo1, on 06/23/2009, -0/+10Yes, it certainly is "dieing".
- ShoggothDreams, on 06/23/2009, -1/+10THANK YOU!!!
Everything listed for the health benefits of beef was from businesses or organizations involved in selling beef. Do they even TRY to research these articles????
Oh, and please, wtf was with that out of nowhere "And, really, who wants to serve salmon at a barbecue?" comment. I flat out refuse to believe that a women's magazine like that has not ITSELF had recipes or such talking up salmon and bbqed salmon. - Masterful1, on 06/23/2009, -0/+9don't forget to yell at him more.
- foomojive, on 06/23/2009, -2/+10"Before the Wii, how many ignorant fifty-something game scoffers ever worked up a sweat playing a video game in their living room?"
Fixed that for you - StigNordas, on 06/23/2009, -1/+8Good or bad, you couldn't pry coffee from my dead cold fingers.
- jordantneff, on 06/23/2009, -1/+7Most anything is okay in moderation really
- LOGNATR, on 06/23/2009, -0/+613. Bacon.
- bjs3171, on 06/23/2009, -0/+5ok. after owning a wii for more than 2 days, one does not stand up and jump around just to play wii tennis. these authors need to figure that out.
- JAGUART, on 06/23/2009, -1/+5Sun, Milk, Red Meat, College.....
- GarrettSD, on 06/23/2009, -0/+4Only digg could get me to read an elle article.
- jlan, on 06/23/2009, -0/+4The English language lives because it is flexible and changes to suit it's users. You might not like all words in the language, but it's like free speech; you have to take the good with the bad.
- asianjewel, on 06/23/2009, -0/+4some of these are stretching it a bit far. Who's gonna go out looking specifically for monosaturated red meat?? And how can you tell your body to stop overloading on stress...as if we have complete control over our stress levels
- duncan202, on 06/23/2009, -0/+4I'm convinced that sometime down the road we're going to discover that a great many of the current maladies that seem to have suddenly increased over the past decades correspond with the time the powers that be started scaring everyone into avoiding the sun at all costs. It doesn't make any !@#$ing sense. There has to be reason that our bodies generate a big butt load of vitamin D when exposed to the sun in mere minutes, yet people who are "smart" decided that you really only need like .1% of the amount that a normal person would create while being outside most of the day... which historically as a species, we've spent most of our existence doing.
Now they've started back tracking a little as more and more diseases are thought to be contributed to by Vitamin D deficiency.
Let's see... go out in the Sun and generate the amount a vitamin D we are designed (in the most darwinian sense) to? Or take supplements that supply a fraction of that and slather every inch of ourselves with chemicals.
Medical Expert FAIL. - mytruckhasdents, on 06/23/2009, -0/+3Sounds like I'll be stopping off at the local porn shop to get "reading material" so I can "exercise"...
- chriscalifornia, on 06/23/2009, -2/+5I'm kind of doped "cheese" wasn't on here.
- Sebastian20, on 06/23/2009, -0/+3but still, he has a point.
- PrettyGreen, on 06/23/2009, -0/+2Yeah, honestly.
There are some benefits to eating these things in moderation, but most people don't really need an excuse to continue stuffing their face with chocolate, binge-drinking, tanning too much, playing video games all day, chewing gum incessantly, drinking like 4L of coffee a day, etc.
The reason people THOUGHT these things were bad for them is because of the way North American society in general does these things or eats these foods.
Some people take it too far and try to cut absolutely everything they hear is bad for you out of their life--they might be taking it too far and this article would benefit them, but MOST people are still on the opposite end of the spectrum, and need to booze less, eat less meat, drink less coffee and so on. - jonr, on 06/23/2009, -0/+2Yup. Buried for the use of 'frenemy'.
- duncan202, on 06/23/2009, -0/+2Most, not all, but most people have protection. It's called a tan. Tanning isn't bad, and is in fact your body regulating itself. Burning is bad. In a perfect world we'd be out a lot early in the year and we'd adjust to the sun on a daily basis. But what happens is we stay inside, cover up, wear lotion and get no sun. Then we go out for a day in July and toast ourselves. That's where the trouble lay.
- Tawney, on 06/23/2009, -0/+2“Before the Wii, who ever worked up a sweat playing a video game in their living room?” says Paul Bragan, executive director at Wakefield Research, a leading gaming researcher. “Using a wireless controller, you can bowl and play baseball and tennis all from your family room.”
A leading game researcher doesn't know about the existence of DDR and other rhythm-based games? Really? - duncan202, on 06/23/2009, -0/+2*sigh* That's ok... it was really just a cry out for attention.
- colasrtney, on 06/23/2009, -1/+3Time to drink some whine and shout at the screen while playing video games!
- removesstains, on 06/23/2009, -0/+2The lady in the last photo can discipline me anytime.
- lpse2000, on 06/23/2009, -1/+3"Just don’t forget your SPF of 20 or higher when you do venture outside—even for the shortest jaunts."
A little too paranoid, are we? - zmigliozzi, on 06/23/2009, -0/+2Steak, alcohol and yelling, hell ya.
- LOGNATR, on 06/23/2009, -0/+2It's exercise. Of course it's good for you. Also keeps you virile.
- Cepster, on 06/23/2009, -0/+2Was that a pun, or a spelling error?
- beck5, on 06/23/2009, -0/+1Buried, full of things everyone knows are good of you.
- dhenke, on 06/23/2009, -0/+113: Heroin
- CCmachined, on 06/23/2009, -0/+1And F-Zero. And Contra! And Finally beating that race on Wipeout. And... yep, loads of stuff.
- Cockslap, on 06/23/2009, -1/+2dug for steaks and video games.
- insertAliasHere, on 06/23/2009, -0/+1Well, the health food manufacturers tell you that their products are good for you; should we automatically assume that they are lying and that their products are bad for us?
I'm not saying that you should take this guy's advice or anything, just that it's not automatically false because it's coming from a biased source. - nepidae, on 06/23/2009, -0/+1Was it really necessary to have pictures take up 80% of the page space?
- Gareth321, on 06/24/2009, -0/+1duncan /thread. Our ancestors' skin naturally tanned more and less depending on the seasons and areas they lived. Our modern lifestyle means sitting inside much more often, so when we do finally go outside, we burn quite quickly. If you can spend a few hours outside every day, do so and throw away your sunblock. If you can't wear sunblock and take vitamin D.
- Masterful1, on 06/23/2009, -0/+1dugg, for telling pansy parents to yell at their kids more.
- Gyga, on 06/23/2009, -0/+1I like neologisms/loaner words when they add something to the language, "frenemy" does not.
- newman8r, on 06/23/2009, -0/+1buried for the annoying ad that came up when I tried to see this thing....
- insertAliasHere, on 06/23/2009, -0/+1Be that as it may, there is something to be said about reducing your chances of getting skin cancer too. Probably should find a happy medium. Get some real sun every day, but don't soak yourself in it for 12 hours every day with no protection.
