SKIRMISHER

Hordes of ordinary IBM employees are milling around the water cooler and swapping fascinating stories about the newly fashionable occupational hazard in the company, one that may or may not yet involve dicks and hair falling off.

A paper by Richard Clapp has just been published on Environmental Health, and it’s controversial because while it apparently involved 32,000 respondents in its noble goal of establishing a strong link between IBM and many kinds of cancers, IBM merely blew its cigar smoke in the air and rasped, “Are you going against the family now?”

While Clapp’s study is the largest published study of cancer death rates in computer manufacturers to date, who wouldn’t admire IBM’s coolness in sending across the subtle message that it can easily squish the flies buzzing around its hairy, old-man balls? It wouldn’t have hurt if it allowed cheerleaders into the whole That Study’s Bullshit thing, cheering, “Yay, capit’lism!” and flashing us nice views of their cotton panties. It will surely distract the general populace’s minds off this funny cancer business.
