Stop the presses. This just in . . .

You may have known this all along, but now it has been demonstrated scientifically: bikinis make men stupid.

This month’s issue of the Journal of Consumer Research features a paper titled “Bikinis Instigate Generalized Impatience in Intertemporal Choice,” which is a neuroeconomist’s (definition in a moment) way of saying that men don’t make good decisions while checking out pretty girls in bikinis.

What would we do without science?

Did the contributor get paid for submitting the paper?

If you can research women in bikinis and get PAID for your findings, that's not a bad thing!

Imagine the camera man. I didn't have the stones to watch it to the end. I didn't even dare to click the "play" button.

Hell, if you can get someone to pay you $7,000 a month to lease an Escalade, I say: Do it....
