Dumb Blondes or Dumb Study?

Did I hear that correctly? Yesterday I was sitting at my desk and I hear a blurb on Fox News about blondes making those around them dumber. Intrigued, I found the source of this madness. Apparently, The Sunday Times of London reported that men’s general knowledge test scores declined after being shown photos of blonde women. My initial thought was that they were dumbfounded by the photos of blonde women because they know that blondes are more fun. It's not a big surprise that a man would not have much interest in taking a test after looking at pictures of women. I guess the conclusion they wanted to draw was that the stereotype of the dumb blonde (emphasis on the word dumb) somehow affected the men to the point that their test performance score were lower. Like playing down to the competition so to speak. I'm glad my tax dollars didn't fund such groundbreaking research!
