"Teenage girls who watch a lot of TV shows with a high sexual content are twice as likely to become pregnant, according to a study". I expect quite a few people will say 'Well, duh!', but this article doesn't really explain whether there were also social demographic differences at work in the study.

I like "33. Phone book. Old school, but worth a shot."

"Jeremy Vine will be in a virtual reality studio to analyse the figures, using the latest touchscreen graphics to show who is winning the race to the White House". Words to strike terror into the heart of anyone who was hoping that 'The Day Today' *wasn't* the future of television news info-graphics. Please, please, please don't let him do that "American" accent again...

"The amount was not disclosed, but the Daily Mail accepted it was wrong to report Materazzi had called Zidane 'the son of a terrorist wh0re'".
