I really didn't want to comment on this one, but after reading all of the postings, I couldn't help myself. The "Harvard Study" was a comedy piece. It ain't real, people! Only a few people who posted comments even bothered to research it for 30 seconds before posting comments. Many apparently believed the "results" of the "study", and claimed foul play and anger at Harvard University (and/or Americans) without even checking it out for themselves. I read the Mosquito Press story (a Filipino publication), as well as the mock Harvard "study". It was actually pretty good reading, and full of little clues tipping the reader off that it was merely comedic fakery. It always helps to read all of the earlier postings before making a hasty comment that may tend to make you look foolish the following day.

Spoiler! 

I would have been among many other Filipinos who would have said the same thing, but it is just as well that a Harvard study beat us to it. “The causes of this gullibility include the inability to question information and an over-reliance on interpersonal sources,” says the study.

“For Filipinos, a tsunami warning from the government does less than a mother’s directive to avoid the sea because of syokoys (mermen),” it notes. The Harvard Institute of Socio-Political Progression (HIS-PP) did not just say Filipinos were gullible, it said it was the first among “the world’s most gullible races.”

This is a serious allegation we should not ignore. For those who do not have access to the internet I found this item in a blog called “The Mosquito Press.” It may seem like a trivial source but according to the authors the study involved “content analyses of over 500,000 historical documents from 300 different societies. So we better take it seriously.

“What’s curious about the Filipino condition is that despite a respectable literacy rate, many of its people still believe that condoms cause cancer — or that Appolo Quiboloy, CEO of Kingdom of Jesus Christ, The Name Above Every Name, Inc. is the son of God,” said the report.

We are gullible because we are not able or do not question information. We prefer to believe what other persons tell us.

This is the height of irony. Aren't the press supposed to... you know CHECK FACTS? I never in my wildest dreams thought this spoof would still be claiming victims. I wonder how much mileage it's got left? Maybe this time next year people will still be taking it seriously.
