TEFLON THE NEW DDT

Scientists recently concluded that a chemical used in the manufacturing of Teflon causes cancer in rats. Activists reacted as activists do:

Radical environmental groups immediately seized the opportunity to move in for the kill. On 29 June, Richard Wiles of the Environmental Working Group opined on the NBC Nightly News that PFOA 'has now been determined to be a likely human carcinogen. That ranks up there with DDT, PCBs, dioxin as a very serous hazard. It needs to be banned'.

So, it turns out Bubba – the Teflon Kid – was even more toxic than we thought. I hope Monica brushed her teeth and rinsed well, you know, after.
