Caught out by Media Watch

God I love Media Watch!

Here is their take on the misquoting and misattribution of an imaginary plan to "seize" obese children from their families after an article in the MJA part-authored by Westmead's Obesity Maven, Dr Shirley Alexander.

PDF of the original article is available here via Media Watch.

I was so about to delete the spam post from meenu... but it is so funny that I have decided to leave it alone.

But just in case anyone else is considering sending them money (and for the benefit of the Google spiderbot):

- HELPCURE WILL NOT WORK
- HELPCURE.COM makes UNREALISTIC PROMISES
- HELPCURE.COM is a SCAM preying on DESPERATE and VULNERABLE PEOPLE
- DO NOT TRUST HELPCURE.COM
- HIV is NOT CURED by HELPCURE.COM


There... is that clear? Now, if only I could get this commonsense message posted on 1000 other blog sites, then Google might stop serving up all those "HelpCure is great" links.
