A group of parents in a suburb of Chicago are outraged over their childrens’ school’s new technology. The Oak Park School District set up a large wireless network that allowed all of their students to access the internet from their desks via laptop computers. The parents filed a class-action lawsuit to stop the usage of the system claiming that the radio waves were destroying their children.

Why does this lawsuit remind me of those people that claimed that getting your picture taken steals your soul?

Well you all know the solution to this: Parents just have to dress their kids in tinfoil suits. It will protect them from both radio waves and alien mind reading at the same time!

But their kids can have radios, tv’s, and cell phones stuck to their ears 24/7 and that’s ok. Geeezzz those parents should get off OR on some kind of drug to get their brains working.
