More Tales From The "Well...DUH!" Files

"Rap music has increasingly glamorized the use of illegal drugs, portraying marijuana, crack and cocaine as symbols of wealth and status, according to a new study by the journal of Addiction Research & Theory.

"This study showed that in fact much early rap music either did not talk about drugs at all, or when it did had anti-drug messages," said Denise Herd, of the University of California at Berkeley, who headed the research team."

I wonder what percentage of our tax dollars went towards funding this groundbreaking research?
