As The Filibust’s technology/media/entertainment/best writer, I generally offer commentary on technology news and issues that effect the readers and myself, on a macro and also micro level. Tonight, the issue is far more personal, and effects me and others on a level deeper than I have delved into before on this blog.
I am of coarse talking about the genocide of men’s balls.
As you read this blog, you could possibly be kills millions of sperm cells, thanks to the heat produced from your laptop sitting on your lap. A recent medical study stated “The combination of heat generated by the computers and the posture needed to balance the equipment on the lap leads to raised temperatures around the scrotum… past research shows that higher scrotal temperatures can damage sperm and affect fertility”. The study found that within the first 15 minutes of using a laptop scrotal temperatures increase by 33.8 degrees which can cause long term damage to one’s manjiggilies.
So what does this mean? Dare we “change our posture” to avoid the cooking of our Cracker Jacks? Or do we stand up as one Nation and tell computer manufacturers, “Hey! Stop killing our Love Spuds!”. All of us need to tell the likes of Steve Jobs that we will NOT stand for our brains being nuked by your stupid computers.
I hope that you would join me in my crusade.
