Brian i think you misunderstood me.I was refferring to an article published in the Sun Newspaper in England and it didn't quote any source that i am aware of.
If it did i apologise but like most people in the UK i was blinded by the rather sensationalised headlines which i am sure a lot of people never got beyond.
I have read all the posts about HPV on this site and particularly Davids and i am very aware that a great deal of thorough and painstaking research has been done into the links with Oral Cancer,but i also know that as a result of the article published in the Sun,the topic of conversation in the local pub is rather less serious and mostly consists of cheap shots at humour on the subject.
I take all research and advances into any type of cancer very seriously particularly Oral Cancer as it affects me so personally.
I do not feel it is ever a subject that should be the butt of bar room jokes and as far as i am concerned THIS ARTICAL is making HPV just another amusing subject to be laughed about and forgotten just like so many other surveys we read about in the press almost daily in this country

If offence was taken at my post i am sorry ,but my question was "What do you think of the subject being sensationalised?"and i am glad to see other like minded people who deplore such valuable research being turned into a subject of feeble minded humour particularly when my husband is on the receiving end of it.
