Facebook causes syphilis

Cases of syphilis have increased four-fold in Britain's Facebook capital as users meet up for unprotected sex, it was revealed yesterday.

Figures released last month showed that people in Sunderland, Durham and Teesside were 25 per cent more likely to log on regularly.

And an NHS trust chief said Facebook and similar sites were to blame for a shocking rise in cases of potentially-lethal syphilis in the region.

Professor Peter Kelly, director of Public Health for NHS Tees, said: "There has been a four-fold increase in the number of syphilis cases detected, with more young women being affected."

He said staff had found a link to social networking sites among those infected.

lol at that, bro

So MySpace must be herpes. Every time you think it's gone it pops back up

Twitter is crabs

Friendster was dissolved by penicillin

Xanga is gonorrhea; you never really think about it until someone brings it up because they just so happen to have it.

Damn. STDs are a bitch. Make sure you have anti-virus condoms before you sign into social sites.

FreeOnes, though, worse STD of all...
