Of course, this story is from Florida.

So are they going to address these myths in sex education?

It is widely believed that drinking Mountain Dew will drastically lower the sperm count in males. Some fear this will cause impotency, while others apparently view it as a birth control panacea.

Lest you think I'm joking, the Wall Street Journal reported in 1999 that during the fall of that year this rumor "boomeranged across the country from Oregon to Washington, D.C., and from Texas to Montana." Its popularity continues to perplex health care officials, not to mention Mountain Dew's manufacturer, PepsiCo.

....

The rumor goes back to the mid-1990s, at least.

Sorry, lawmakers but this particular myth is not because of Florida's "abstinence only" program.

Even Mythbusters heard the rumor that cola works as a spermicide and tested that.

"'Abstinence Only' Creates Morons"

Hey RCADE, I think you have a typo.....Shouldn't it be:

"'Abstinence Only' Created by Morons"

You know what I always say:

"If you want save sex, Fuck a Nun!"

Even Mythbusters heard the rumor that cola works as a spermicide and tested that.

How did they do that?

Fuck a bunch of chicks and then had them all do the coca cola douche thing?

Spud musta missed that episode.

Sounds like a good one!

Did they play the Fugs "CCD" in the background?

Be Well.

Sorry, lawmakers but this particular myth is not because of Florida's "abstinence only" program.

No, but its perpetuation is.

So are they going to address these myths in sex education?



Yes, everyone knows that only by holding the bible across your chest during sex will prevent unwanted pregnancies.

don't you think that's the education system in general that is to blame here and not merely abstinence education?

Where are the critical thinking skills that should have killed these rumors on first utterance (if not at first google query)?

Its not like its the 1950's or anything, where a rumor could travel a lot longer before anyone thought of researching it.

No, but its perpetuation is.

If they don't address the myths directly, the myths will still spread.

'Abstinence Only' Creates Morons

Bullshit, and we have living proof.

Yup, Spud's actually seen it. Spud just wanted a chance to reference the Fugs song "Coca Cola Douche".

Spud's weird.

Don't know if you've seen this but they took on farts on Mythbusters

Spud's waiting till they do one on pussy farts.

Spud exceptionally weird.

Be Well.

If teens are stupid enough to take a shot of bleach to 'clean themselves out' who are we to stop them? We are stopping the dawinian survival of the fittest if we stop them. Don't think about them, think of the stupid children they won't be having.

If they don't address the myths directly, the myths will still spread.

Any sex ed course worth its value would make it a point to dispel such myths.

It's not mentioned in the article. This is Florida though like you said earlier. Just read one of the headlines on the bottom of the article.

ORANGE COUNTY, Fla. -- A 28-year-old woman in Orange County stabbed her husband during a fight that sparked over having hot dogs for dinner, according to a sheriff's office report.

Officers said Alfreda Van Bladel apparently had prepared a dinner for her husband, Anton, that consisted of hot dogs.

At some point, the man snatched the plate of hot dogs from his wife's hands, the report said.

The action prompted the woman to stab her husband in the shoulder with a steak knife, according to authorities.

They also reported the beleif that anal sex can lead to "shit baby" pregnancies

Awww-shit....baby....

Hey Florida teens, it's not that bleach won't work it's just that your dosage is way too low. Try a quart instead.

No sweat. It'll all come out in the wash.

If they wannan drink bleach I say let them! This will help improve the human gene pool. Hopefully they will do this before getting pregnant or getting a girl pregnant and passing their stupid genes to future generations.

Just like chlorine helps clean swimming pools, bleach will clean up the human gene pool.

Thoes people in FL are stupid. They don't know how to vote and now this. Talk about a bad gene pool.

The kids are idiots for believing such crap but no more so than the schools for their policy.

Both badly need to pull their heads out of the dark smelly cavern and wake up to the real world.

However since this is Florida....

Isn't Danni from Fla? Go figure.....
