scarily stupid

I have just come across an item in the Telegraph online that displays an absolutely shocking level of stupidity. It relates to the new research that has shown that using bonjela in teething babies could in some cases cause a potentially fatal illness. The author in the telegraph article has decided that this research (which she states was probably conducted by men, with the implication being it was undertaken only to cause mothers trouble) is a bad thing, and that women should not be told of things which could kill or injure their babies.
Firstly I am slightly offended that the article exists under the heading "news", because it is not news. It is the vacuous, facile opinion of a rather stupid woman.
Secondly, and rather disturbingly the author of the article basically states that she would risk a potentially fatal reaction in her child rather than lose a nights sleep.
Thirdly, she then states that a homeopathic remedy that she refers to as (and I kid you not) "Baby Cocaine" would be better anyway, even though she has no idea what it is even made out of.
I am just saddened/annoyed that this has even been printed, and I am left wondering how it is possible that someone so stupid even managed to procreate. It is idiocracy all over again.
If you can bear it, check out the stupidity for yourself.
