I am writing a report on ethical research this weekend. I’m not sure why I picked this assignment, since I will probably be fudging the results for a data report I have due this week.
We are supposed to find seven people we know well and ask them nosy questions of our choosing. It is based on an Australian study/campaign called “Life. Be in It.” and is all about leisure-time activities and encouraging Aussies to get off their butts bums, which evidently are almost as flabby as Americans’.
Anyway, who wants to take a survey? I would encourage anyone I know/regular commenters to apply. Twenty questions, all about juice and elevators n’ shit. Email the macrophobe.
Oh yeah, you gotta be eighteen, too.
OH NO! Not Norm! Those ads were impossible to miss during the 80s. Oh what a cringe. worst of all, our nation is HEAPS fatter than twenty years ago, ha!
I’ll take your survey!
That was, like, the best campaign EVER.
I believe that also spawned the ‘slip, slop, slap’ campaign too. Nah, it’s not lube – they’re referring to sunscreen.
I’d drink my face off if I were with you, too, Miss SJ. One day I’ll come visit you and see your pretty pinky hair! (That’s a threat)
What exactly is the current state of thinking on ethical research?
It’s kind of interesting to me how this term has evolved since the 50’s. Used to be, ethical research was letting the soldiers take cover when the atomic bomb went off. Now it seems like you need a release to ask people what color they think their eyes are.
I’ll take your survey, babe. You betcha! Anything to display my raging egomania and help out a friend. Let’s hear it for the raging egomania!
I’ll own up to anything. Within reason. If unreasonable, then I’ll rent up to anything because I can always skimp out of the lease.
