Did Mum get it right?
In a slightly misleading headline, the SMH claims - Erotic images linked to blindness:
Researchers have proved what mothers have been telling their sons all along - erotic images can make you go blind.This apparently explains why there are lots of collisions near risque billboards. Assuming of course that ignore the fact that such billboards are probably placed at locations likely to have high collision rates anyway :-)
A new study by US psychologists found people shown erotic or gory images could not process what they were seeing immediately afterwards.
Researchers believe emotion-induced blindness could mean drivers simply do not see another car or pedestrian if they have just witnessed an "emotionally charged" scene.
