Everything that is wrong about the Daily Mail
http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sciencetech/article-1161652/Mind-reading-comes-step-closer-scientists-map-peoples-brains.html
- Take a story which could have massive positive medical and scientific benefits.
 - Create a headline that invokes the supertitious - in this case mention "mind reading".
 - Take a fictional sci-fi film.
 - Slant the story in a way that makes scientists look evil.
 - Cast a gloomy view of the future, making it seem more like the sci-fi film.
 - Blame science.
 - Sell more papers to the gullible masses.
 
The first comment posted below the article says it all really :-
"Do we really want to be so self aware that we know how our own brains work?
I'd prefer a little mystery in life...
                                                               - Tim, London, 13/3/2009 09:16"
Translation : I'd prefer to be an ignorant idiot, and carry on reading the daily fail.
Hrmph.
