Iago Award

...as in Iago the parrot from Disney's "Aladdin." In the movie the magic lamp is secured in a magical cave that can only be entered by someone whose worth is not readily visible. The evil sorceror Jafar sends a low-life crook into the cave, only to have the cave swallow the crook whole.

Jafar: It appears he was less than...worthy.
Iago: (Flabbergasted) Oh THERE'S a big surprise! I think I'll have a HEART ATTACK and DIE from NOT SURPRISE!!

Anyway, today's winner for the "not surprised" award is this study:

Sexy media a trigger for youthful promiscuity.
Study: Sexual content in music, movies, TV leads to earlier intercourse


CHICAGO - Sexually charged music, magazines, TV and movies push youngsters into intercourse at an earlier age, perhaps by acting as kind of virtual peer that tells them everyone else is doing it, a study said on Monday.

I guess the only surprise is that they actually are admitting this.
