After reading the article by BBC, Blondes 'To Die Out in 200 years', I honestly felt that the topic wasn't really news worthly because I could care less. However, the article was picked up by many people such as, a site called "Bottomquark" which is a technology and science discussion site. Obviously a guy by the user name of Joeypea felt that it was relevant news because he posted it on the site and put down the link to the article at BBC's site.
Also a site that dealt with politics I think it's called W-Politics picked up the article and posted it on the message board. Why? I am really not sure. I don't think the possibitlity of an endangered hair color is a political issue. Especially when most people dye thier hair anyway.
The article was researched by a professor Jonathan Rees at Edinburgh University. There was a link to Edinburgh's website also.

Of course, you'd be wrong to be looking for "some guy," as there are some women who run science-related web sites too. Thanks for the nod towards bottomquark, even if you didn't think that silly article was newsworthy. Hopefully you caught the follow-up saying that it was all baloney.
