Wi-Fi Allergy a PR Stunt 174
ADiamond writes "There is no Wi-Fi allergy. The English DJ claiming a Wi-Fi sensitivity, chronicled earlier, was a PR stunt to promote his new album. It would appear that the stunt was highly successful, appearing in multiple high-profile media outlets like The Sun, The Telegraph, and Fox News. The article at Ars goes on to discuss the evidence, or lack-thereof, of electromagnetic spectrum sensitivity."

I mean how hard is it to get one of the people, put them in a room, and have them tell you whether or not you plugged in a router?

I'm allergic to PR stunts. You have no idea how miserable they make life. I am dizzy all the time, and can't stop sneezing. And the rashes. And the boils. I may be going blind, as well.
By the way, I have a new album coming out, called "Craposensitive".

Jason Fox tried that once, IIRC.
Something along the lines of:
"What are you doing?"
"Downloading and burning 10,000 copies of $paiges_favorite_cd."
"You know, if people keep doing that eventually artists will quit making music."
"That's what I'm hoping."

Now this story will linger as 'common knowledge' for years and rational people will have to cnstantly explain it was a PR stunt.
Well done jackass, you've made the world a worse place.
Didn't he do that by deciding to become a DJ?
