Proof Country SUCKS!!
Finally proof to those who like the twang that country is bad for your health. In a recent study which was recognized by the Ig Awards (an actual award given to people by Nobel award winners) posts this in findings related to country musis effect on people:
The medicine prize went to Steven Stack of Wayne State University and James Gundlach of Auburn University, for their 1992 report, “The Effect of Country Music on Suicide.” The research of 49 metropolitan areas concluded “that the greater the airtime devoted to country music, the greater the white suicide rate.”
Muahaha I knew I didn’t like it and now I have a reason not to!

Some of your text didn’t show up correctly. Maybe it’s your fault, or maybe it’s Firefox, I dunno.
Anyway, I think you stretched the data a bit. Do they rate “airtime” as total time, or is it more of a weighted average? Also, is more country played because they’re responding to what the listener demands? I mean do suicidal white people just like country? Or does country drive white people to suicide?
I would think that Celine Deion or Michael Bolton would cause increased suicidal tendencies. God knows I want to kill myself just thinking that they exist.
