Bad Science

The Sense About Science campaign released its annual list of celebrity offenses against science.
Included are Michelle Bachmann's ridiculous rumor-mongering about the HPV vaccine and Snooki's allegation that the ocean is salty due to all the whale sperm. (How many whales does she think there are in the oceans?)
My personal favorite is the Christian Louboutin theory that putting on high heels is akin to a sexual experience. To which Kevan Wylie, a consultant in sexual medicine, responded, "A woman's foot may be in this position during orgasm, but that does not mean that putting her foot into this position under other circumstances will result in orgasm," 
So those six-inch heels will NOT get me off. Bummer.
