Sex cancers are going to get you! Sex cancers are going to get you!
Can you tell it's a slow news day all over the world, especially at the BBC?
According to their intrepid reporter and staggering research power, the British Broadcasting Corporation has revealed that all that sex and drugs and rock 'n roll you baby boomers enjoy so much has led to cancers of your genitalia:
Rates of anal, vulval and vaginal cancers rose for "baby boomers" born in the decades after the Second World War.
The culprit is the human papillomavirus (HPV), acquired during sex, said the King's College London study.
Up to three out of four people will be infected, it estimates.
The British Journal of Cancer report says changes in sexual habits may
be the cause.
HPV has been implicated in a number of cancers, including cervical,
anal, vulval, vaginal and penile - although the diseases can be caused
by other factors too.
We had to check this story's publication date to make sure, but we can confirm that the BBC has discovered the existence of HPV... after the entire state of Texas. Now, that's news...
