Canadian Blood Services Promotes Pseudoscience 219

trianglecat writes "The not-for-profit agency Canadian Blood Services has a section of their website based on the Japanese cultural belief of ketsueki-gata, which claims that a person's blood group determines or predicts their personality type. Disappointing for a self-proclaimed 'science-based' organization. The Ottawa Skeptics, based in the nation's capital, appear to be taking some action."

Notice that in movie trailers whenever the death of an animal is implied (@ 1:34), they specifically show that it turns out the animal is alive, of course, in the same trailer they can kill oodles of humans. They go out of their way to show the animal is alive despite the fact that it can take away from the joke and waste precious 'trailer' time.

And here I thought the effective way to counter speech you don't like is with your own speech, not your money (though, with businesses that doesn't hurt). So far I've seen a lot of gamers upset by this (myself included) but none have said it should be 'banned'. We've just said that it was a bad move on IW's part. I'm allowed to 'say' that, right? Free speech?
