Thank you, Anna. This “news” item sounded too stupid to be true.
I mean, if the study had assessed the effects of staring at breasts for a few minutes, well, okay. But five YEARS of refraining from looking? What straight male would sign up for that?
Eh, I dunno. It sounded plausible enough to me. There actually are studies that show a connection between lower overall stress and lower incidence of heart disease and such.
I don’t know about staring for 10 minutes straight, but a casual glance at what’s on display is a prospect your average straight male probably finds quite pleasant, if not precisely relaxing…
Ooh, a faux news comment! How original. Also, it’s a local news station, not the eeevil cable channel. Local news programs are so desperate for content they’ll run any damn thing that comes across the wires.
Get a grip. Boo on local news station! Boo on Fox! Seriously. Relax. It is on a sight call Failblog. If you are looking or truth, get off the internet.
I see absolutely no proof in that snopes article that proves that this ISN’T true, with the exception of the word “false”, they did no study where they found contradicting results. On the internet it is true until proven false!
Wow… Serious what happens to Fox news when they lie like this? I’m serious there obviously is no reprocussion… can I make a show called “Rupurt Murdoc is Satan” and constantly call him the Devil without a single bit of fault? They do it to Obama so why not to Murdoc?
Sorry all, but this story comes from the Weekly World News and the alleged German study has never been published anywhere, let alone the New England Journal of Medicine
Oh, Fox News! This story is second only to the one Ock gave last night about a woman being startled by a squirrel…eating a nut!!!! Seriously,
the story went something like this:
“I was sitting on my porch drinking coffee and then that squirrel jumped up and scared me. He was sitting on the railing eating a nut!”
…
That is some hard-hitting news for sure. Keep it up Fox 25! Make Boston proud!
There was a weird show called Brainiac or something (a Brit TV akin to Mythbusters) that did something like this, but it was only measuring heartrates. One man sat and stared at breasts for half an hour and the other man did aerobics for half and hour. Their heartrates were pretty close to the same.
Yeah the short guy from top gear (sorry all you top gear and British TV fanatics that will ultimately flame me for not knowing his name) hosted it. I loved that show. All you piss drinkin Bear Grylls fans out there should know they did a segment on that show about drinking your own piss. Have Fun!
Yeah I only saw one episode and I pretty aware from that episode that it was bogus. Or at least a lot of misinformation.
They did a small thing on bagels and drug testing, leaving out that it was a poppy seed bagel and it was the poppy seeds the test noticed.
According to the snopes.com page (link above), it originated from Weekly World News in a slightly reworked form. Weekly World News is where you go to find all the unbelievable stuff you won’t find in the regular media.
there’s some truth to it, we’ve known for years that depressed people tend to have more health problems, so since staring at breasts makes you happy, everybody wins.
Love how the very same retards pop off about Fox stories and refuse to say a damned thing about CNN or the other news agencies that are a part of their political agenda. Who have aired not just bad stories (no fact checking) but have actually made s**t up, in their own news rooms, and tried to pass it off as news…. you listening CNN?
It is one thing to be a political puppet with the demosucks arms so far up your asses that your lips move every time they wiggle their fingers.
What is worse is the hypocrisy of your positions and refusal to admit or even point out the very same failings from your personal agenda.
You should be ashamed of yourself… for intellectual dishonesty…. if you had any intellect.
I’m sorry, I wasn’t really paying attention to their other proportions. Too busy looking at boobies.
You should try it, I hear it’s good for your heart, or somethin’
I know that this was a joke article published in the weekly world news but in all reality it might have some grain of truth. Since sex has been proven to be good for the overall mental health of a person, looking at breasts might have an effect like it. Of course too much can be bad for you and it may not be enough to cause lower blood pressure but it might be enough to help the psyche.
EEEK. Fox News. It’s all untrue. Stop looking at breasts! Seriously. Relax. It’s failblog. Find another platform to whine about. Now if you’ll excuse me, my husband needs to look at my breasts.
Well if it’s for my health…
I think he said “lower breasting heartrate”. Mwahahahaaaa

Sorry guys.
Thank you, Anna. This “news” item sounded too stupid to be true.

I like how Fox ran the story without even checking any of the facts.
There ya go guys! If you want to make cable news, just start an Internet rumor. You can say ANYTHING.
That wasn’t Fox cable ya tard. That was a local station that ran with it.
The only cable channel that fell for it was MSNBC.
Eh, I dunno. It sounded plausible enough to me. There actually are studies that show a connection between lower overall stress and lower incidence of heart disease and such.
I don’t know about staring for 10 minutes straight, but a casual glance at what’s on display is a prospect your average straight male probably finds quite pleasant, if not precisely relaxing…
it’s on the internet. it must be true.
How *DO* you tell if your dog worships Satan?
It’s a news story from a Fox station.
Did anybody really expect it to contain any truth?
That’s what I noticed right away, too…seriously, does FOX actually put real, correct, news on anymore?
Ooh, a faux news comment! How original. Also, it’s a local news station, not the eeevil cable channel. Local news programs are so desperate for content they’ll run any damn thing that comes across the wires.
just like the original fox news (the evil cable sh*tspewers),retractions would take at least 5 minutes of every “show” 27 minutes for glenn beck
Get a grip. Boo on local news station! Boo on Fox! Seriously. Relax. It is on a sight call Failblog. If you are looking or truth, get off the internet.
wtf are you doing on the internet?! better yet, wtf are you doing out of the kitchen?!
I see absolutely no proof in that snopes article that proves that this ISN’T true, with the exception of the word “false”, they did no study where they found contradicting results. On the internet it is true until proven false!

Just staring? What about motorboating?
I believe Charlie Sheen would call this comment, WINNING!

*Half an hour; not and.
he had it right the first time. looks like the second time may have been a mistype.
It was the same person. I corrected myself.

Didn’t know it wasn’t actually British.
Any word on whether women benefit from staring at guy’s crotches? Or whether gay guys should stare at breasts too?
If any women would like to try a few such experiments, I for one volunteer.
Germans – they have always been crazy scientists
Yes indeed but thanks to us you now have a good excuse for staring at a nice pair of melons
don’t forget WWI and WWII
Because world wars were invented by scientists.
Although it is an old online hoax and there actually is not scientific study for it to date I for one wish it were true. LOL
Way to go ‘Fox News’,or should it be “Fox News?”
“Fox… News?”
This must be from Onions or something.
According to the snopes.com page (link above), it originated from Weekly World News in a slightly reworked form. Weekly World News is where you go to find all the unbelievable stuff you won’t find in the regular media.
“regular media” meaning the news channels that check their sources and stuff like that.
“Unbelievable” stuff mostly translates to “not true”.
It’s on Fox News. MUST BE TRUE
well, whether it’s true or not, i fully intend on maintaining my daily medical regimen and find out for myself
I’ll be immortal, then!
Well, it can’t hurt to be on the safe side. Unless you get caught staring.
By the way, this win can also be considered to be a fail since it came from FOX news.. o-o
No. Staring at breasts can be hazardous to your health because you will annoy women and they may clobber you.
sux for the guy who couldn’t see breasts for 5 years
it stops at 00:07.
I think i’m healthy.
wait how do you get some guys not to stare at breasts for 5 years?
Works great until said woman hits you upside the head — or elsewhere — for being such a douche.
staring at breasts doesn’t make you a douche
Said woman should be busy making sammiches in the kitchen not hitting people. Violence is never the answer.
All I can say is “SHOW ME YOUR BOOBIES!!!”
hehehehehe some epic boobs
Is it the same with women? But like if they stare at a mans genital area…
there’s some truth to it, we’ve known for years that depressed people tend to have more health problems, so since staring at breasts makes you happy, everybody wins.
If this is true, I’m going to die.
/ForeverAlone
there germans they kidnap girls and make them prostatutes how acruate can there info be on that subject
regardless of the study, i think looking at boobs can help lower blood pressure and heart disease. I am sticking with my lifelong habit.
Sooo uh… does this belong on the FAIL since it’s false and it’s been posted in the WIN??? My mind has just exploded.
Love how the very same retards pop off about Fox stories and refuse to say a damned thing about CNN or the other news agencies that are a part of their political agenda.

How is that a win? It’s the most stupid thing I’ve ever heard.
Okay, it’s probably not the most stupid thing I’ve ever heard, but it’s still stupid.
So, could they have at least shown good looking girls instead of all gross fat ones?
I’m sorry, I wasn’t really paying attention to their other proportions. Too busy looking at boobies.
You should try it, I hear it’s good for your heart, or somethin’
Yes, there are devices. There most certainly are

Random Woman: “Um, My eyes are up here…”
You: “…it’s for my health!”
EEEK. Fox News. It’s all untrue. Stop looking at breasts! Seriously. Relax. It’s failblog. Find another platform to whine about. Now if you’ll excuse me, my husband needs to look at my breasts.
What the f**k are you talking about?!
