Is this a joke? I laughed, but it sounds somewhat true...

man, that is so freakin funny. But you know, if it does apply at all to Smiths/Moz fans, it has to be the ones who actually DO wear fuzzy sweaters and reading glasses (you know who you are). I luuuv Moz just as much as the non-sex having, celery stalk eating fans do, but i got to get me some damnit!!! Sex-fiends, er I mean Shoplifters of the world unite!

I completely thought this was for real, although I was questioning the scientific meaning of this study. I was thinking about having a control group of normal non Smiths listening teenagers who were of course sexually happy... I was wondering where these people are. Is everyone else happy and we are doomed for lonliness? :) I am entirely joking... but I was really wondering.

I must say that at first I thought this was real and I could see where they came from....I could get sex all the time(not bragging,its just true)
but the fact is moz makes me think that there are more important things in life then having sex....
oh yeah i hate sweaters,especially fuzzy ones...

Needless to say, I am a Smiths/Morrissey fan; and I do own one cardigan...that must be my problem, the cardie, that's why I don't have sex. I thought the study was real and not a joke (I can relate to the results) I suppose that it's my love life that is THE joke.
Keep Smiling.

How in the world can this study infer the reasons for the lack of sexual activeness in Moz fans! This is a ludicrous inference that is trying to tell us that just because we listen to a certain kind of music it dictates the life that we lead. A better conclusion would have been that it takes an intelligent person to appreciate the depth of Morrissey's lyrics and that intelligent people tend to make intelligent decisions. Face it, it's not smart to be very sexally active at a young age. It's dangerous both physically and emotionally. Yeah to those people who figured their lives out well enough to appreciate good music and good choices!!

uh...yeah...it's also LUDICROUS to take such an article seriously. INTELLIGENT people also notice attempts at humor. We should not be so quick to take offense to the obvious stereotypes that we all fit into (whether we admit it or not).

You got to admit that it is pretty funny.
I think that the joke has some foundation to it. Yet, I have to question the validity some of your rebuttals. Saying that you're getting some means nothing. Why do you have to brag?? That is just plain silly if you ask me.
Typical guys!!!

Just another case of mistaken identity. They actually meant people who watch Dr. Smith on Lost in Space.
Other than that, the fact that some of you aren't laughing at the article probably says more than the article itself.

What a silly study. So this is the kind of thing that they research at big colleges. Kind of makes you wonder who are next world leaders are. Although the facts speak for themselves...which seem to me awefully true!

As interesting as this "study" may appear to be, the comments are the real entertainment. I find it ironic that no matter how diligently fellow Moz comrades avoid being branded by certain stereotypes, we often do share so many interesting similarities.

That's odd. I didn't become a total whore until I started listening to The Smiths.

This sounds really pathetic.
How can the average 10-15 times a year be so low ?
Has the study been done in a Jesuit university, or in a Convent ?

People, people, people,
I think this was a funny "article", and probably
somewhat true... Just don't forget that we are the last of the famous international playboys (/girls).
Don't sulk too much, and please don't lock yourself into your rooms and start writing poetry.

For me it´s simple. I am to intelligent to be happy! And by the way: I do belive that the more you give your love... and the more you give your trust... the more you´re bound to lose...
Sex without love is stupid... and since love obviously is impossible to get... without total humiliation... the answer could be... Celibacy..? What else can a poor, clever, scared young man do?
You can´t open yourself totally without getting destroyed... and yet... this is the dream...
If you saw me the way I really am -then you would rip me apart, throw me out of the window, spit on the sadly remains... So don´t talk to me now about people who have sex... I have spent my whole life in ruins because of people who have sex!

Ha, ha. Such insight, really. But in our defense. . . The pleasure of love is in the loving of oneself. Therefore self-love is the greatest of all passions. We Smiths fans are happier in the passion we own than in the passion we share. When this and all else fails. . .

Dear Birro, I completely agree with you. After living (who lives?) a nightmare for 26 years, 11 months and 2 days, I can only say "love" is just a miserable lie. Maybe for other people it can be real and something harmless, but not for me, in my opinion was a painful experience and something impossible to find nowadays. So, what’s the point in having sex with people you don’t even know or care about? I suppose that if you do something like this, you must change your Smiths´ records and start listening to Madonna. Then my friends, I have to admit that "all of the rumours keeping me grounded they weren’t completely unfounded". I have nothing to do with sex whatsoever.

Ahh, man this was hilarious! But really, WTF with all the ANTI-SEX posts. I mean, I can understand disdain for the theory of "Love" as it is sooo obvious that there is no such absaloute. I love many people very differently and This crap that you'll know your in love when you see "Fireworks when you kiss" is ludicrous. Many people get married on this stupid premise and suffer the consequences soon after. Many people get married for practical reasons and find a partnership with calm love that has not much passion. Is one more valuable than the other?
But about Sex - Do it!! NOW!! I haven't had sex in a year and am dreading this... I wish I could have sex with every attractive woman I see. It would just be soo much fun. I mean, I have no such notions of "Love" when it comes to Sex and wish more people would feel the same. I mean damn... I know many many physically attractive women that I would LOVE to bone but wouldn't want to be their SOUL MATE, and I know many physically unattractive women that I Love more than I can say... I just can't have sex with 'em. Oh well..
"That's just the way it goes!"

Why should a university waste federal money just to prove a stereotype? I guess for my Phd I should do a dissertation on which ethnic race is "the best". I know some Mozfans that fit the description, but then again, it's just a stereotype. Some Mozfans [with all do respect] are whores.

"I wanna start from before the beginning...". How can
anyone say that? Even as a joke I do not find it funny. Sex is a
great thing!!! I would think that we'd be more like whores. I know I

(Un)Happy New Year, everyone. My name is Mike, and I'm the editor
of the DAMN website that posted the "untrue" story about
Smiths fans not getting any.
I just wanted to drop a message off here to say thanks to the people
who originally picked up the story, and especially to all of you
that responded in some capacity - - it's been entertaining watching
the reactions vacillate (or is that oscillate?) between righteous
indignation and acknowledgement that stereotypes can be mostly
harmless when you're willing to look at yourself closely.
Please understand; the story was nothing more than my desire not to
do my job on the last day before Christmas holidays, and was
intended to bring a smile to a few people (I expected Smiths fans to
find it funnier than those who don't care for the band or its
fans...)
Someone alerted me to the presence of the post here on Morrissey-solo.com,
so I thought I'd drop by and check out the response. I am a devoted
Smiths fan, worked for Morrissey for two years at Mercury Records,
and have a deep respect for those who love the music, but hey, I
didn't get much action in university, and none in high school...I
feel qualified to poke a little fun here and there, because I'm
included among the targets.
All the best for 1999,
Mike McCann (cutmaster)
P.S. To the person who asked how to subscribe to D.A.M.N., just send
me a reply ([email protected]) and I'll set you up, OK?
