It angers me. I want to go on a goterpss caliber tirade against fat people.

I was hoping you'd say that Obama is the President. But that's not really a stat, just a nightmare.

don't talk about my boss like that!

I thought you'd stopped working for Herman Cain years ago?

Livewell, is that you?

Fuckin fat fucks.

One in six Americans has genital herpes. And among African-Americans and women, the odds are even higher, according to results from a national survey released by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention on Tuesday.

Still, the fact that half of African-American women are infected, according to CDC, took us aback. We turned to Dr. Adaora Adimora, a professor at the University of North Carolina's Center for Infectious Diseases, who told Shots "the racial disparity for herpes is actually less than for HIV and other STDs."

Gonorrhea rates among blacks were higher than any other racial or ethnic group and 20 times higher than among whites. While blacks represent 12 percent of the U.S. population, they accounted for about 71 percent of reported gonorrhea cases, 48 percent of chlamydia cases, and 49 percent of syphilis cases.

Black females aged 15 to 19 had the highest rates of chlamydia and gonorrhea (10,513 per 100,000 and 2,934 per 100,000, respectively), followed by black women aged 20 to 24 (9,373 per 100,000 and 2,770 per 100,000, respectively).

wait ... is this bad news?

Also a government worker?

Correct! Next we can talk about how much work they do. ;)

So, is there an article that sites this stat? I am curious what the possible causes are (less smoking and more internet!). And, do they define obese based on BMI?
