We are all well aware of the herpes epidemic but what of the ever growing and often untreated condition of DERPES often characterized by the use of derp.

Symptoms may include...

-Excessive use of anecdotal science/evidence as fact.
-Blanket statements with a total disregard for the totality of evidence.
-Chronic butthurt
-PHD in internet and blogging.
-Complete lack of citation of sources or evidence.
-Reference to the properties of magical beans, Raspberry Keytones etc.
-Undying respect for DR Oz.
-Inability to understand Correlation does not imply causation.
-Infatuation with fad diets and exercise programs.
-Lack of humor or humility.
-The characterization of foods and food groups as bad or having the properties of crack, cocaine etc
-Complete inability to admit they actually may be incorrect.
-Lack of patience,realistic goals or time frames.

Some recommended treatments...

-Education
-Grow a thicker skin.
-Preparation H
-Develop a sense of humor.
-Being prepared to realize that just because something is heavily marketed and endorsed by their favorite celebrity does not mean it is effective (or safe).
-Actually taking the time to read the damn links that are often provided.
-Looking beyond the initial advice and realizing the actual intentions of advice givers, as well as the success of the person giving advice and longevity of persons success.
-Stop being so goddamn serious all the time.
