Study: Blondes Make Men Act Dumber

hile blondes may have more fun, a new study suggests that fair-haired ladies may be making those around them dumber.

Researchers found that men's scores on general knowledge tests drop when they are shown photos of blonde women, the Sunday Times of London reported.

Upon further inspection, it was found that the test subjects were not distracted by the light hair, but driven by social stereotypes to "think blonde."

"This proves that people confronted with stereotypes generally behave in line with them," Thierry Meyer, joint author of the study and professor of social psychology at the University of Paris X-Nanterre, told the Times of London. "In this case blondes have the potential to make people act in a dumber way, because they mimic the unconscious stereotype of the dumb blonde."

The study indicates a belief by scientists that stereotyping is a powerful driving force in interacting with others.

For example, previous research found that people talk more slowly in front of the elderly, the Times reported.

10. Yes, I saw some of it the other night --

Loved the gyrating bikini girls during the discussion of the serial killer. Guess they know their audience . . .

Geesh.

Greenwald is a major media hero. He knows how to put it together, that's for sure.

2. Talking slowly and loudly around old people

isn't a stereotype. Its the only way I could communicate with my Dad in his last year. And it was always such a joy when he wanted to watch TV.

3. Okay, their follow up story will be

that Hillary Clinton dyed her hair blonde to make the voters so stupid that they will vote for her. The reason she's doing so well is because she's dumbed down the electorate with her powerful blondness.

And the one that's serving as the White House's spokesliar.

But we knew that.

Ugh. There are already too many stupid people in society. If this is true, then maybe we should start spreading some new stereotypes: http://newstereotypes.blogspot.com

12. probably what happened to "Dog" Chapman's son.

What with his dad sporting that mane of glorious blond hair, his boy must've forgotten how important it was to keep some things private.
