Don't eat french fries ever again! (http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2004/04/19/eveningnews/main612680.shtml) They're cancer sticks, and just as bad as cigarettes! OMG!

Tell me what you think.

(Note: Poll pending)

(Second note: The above was clearly sarcasm.)

perservatives and way too much metal that interferes with the earth's natural magnetic field, and of course radiation waves...

I think the biggest culprit, even worse than those mentioned above, are pants. Yes, pants are cancerous tools of Satan, so be sure to go about without them.

Don't say that I didn't warn you!

French fries are cancer sticks? Well at least I can still get waffle fries at Chick-Fil-A. They can't possibly be cancer sticks. They're round.

The warning labels are everywhere. The focus now: acrylamide, an industrial chemical used to treat wastewater. In super-size doses it causes cancer in lab rats.

Has anyone looked into the possibility that cancer is hereditary in lab rats?

I believe stupid people and smart people also cause cancer.

You'd better get that checked then. Use plenty of sunscreen next time. Oh wait, don't. That causes even more cancer! :(

Looks like you're doomed there, Neo. 'M terribly sorry.

Disney, Coca-Cola, Microsoft and General Motors are the most powerful carcinogens known to man.

Days of Our Lives, The Gap, Oil Of Olay (oil of old lady) and Always are the most powerful carcinogens known to women.

Huh, good idea. Of course, it would be slightly odd if all rats in cancer-research were in the same family.

Anyway, all these things on the poll causes certain death. Statistics show that everyone who has taken a breath, eaten/smelled/heard of Pixie Dust, eaten/smelled/heard ofa sasquatch, eaten/smelled/heard of Lemon Marangue Pie, eaten/smelled/heard of politicians, eaten/smelled/heard of cancer professionals, slept, eaten/smelled/heard of squirrels, driven a car, had/smelled/heard of a glass of water or ever posted a :p, have died, or is going to die within the next 150 years or so.
Except me, that is.

So those fatcat scientists new the cure all along think of the amount of people that could have been saved if someone had just killed them!

I can see it now:

Doctor:
"I´m terribly sorry, but you´ve got cancer."

Patient:
"NOOOOO! Can it be cured?!"

"I´m afraid it´s inoperable (?)."

"Isn´t there something I can do?"

"Well, I usually recommend suicide. It actually cures the cancer for good."

Don´t think it would be too popular though...

Btw, Romanore, it makes me sick. Possibly cancer. Have to check it up

"Even the most cautious scientists say the proven risks of eating too many fries far outweigh the cancer risk. "

So you get morbidly obese, then you have a heart attack AND cancer at the same time! :fluffle:

As a comedian from Sweden once said:

"They (George W. Bush and Göran Persson, Sweden´s prime minister) aren´t that different. Bush want´s the oil in Iraq and Göran the oil in french fries."
