Researchers Discover Irresistible Dance Moves 215

sciencehabit writes "To find out if certain dance moves are more attractive to women than others, researchers recruited a bunch of college guys and used motion-capture to create avatars of them dancing. When women watched the avatars (2 videos included in story), the men they found most attractive were those who kept their heads and torsos moving without flailing their arms and legs. The researchers say dancing is thus an honest signal to women of the man's strength and health, just as it is in crabs and hummingbirds, who also move in special ways to attract mates."

In the version I saw the Netherlands were mentioned with the picture of people smoking a bowl. I agree that there should have been a full list. Especially since there were far more insignificant countries than there were significant see:

All in all I din't think he makes false statements as much as he makes opinoinated satements with factual base. The difference can be a fine line but the line does exist. It seems that Moore's goal is to present his opinion however and not a truly objective piece of reporting. But then he doesn't claim he's delicvering the absolute truth. Interestingly Fox News (as well as others to be sure) claims to be delivering akin to truth but is guilty of the same misleadings and persuassion.
