Tom Scott is a geek comedian who has been described as a "sometime internet funny man" by The Register has come to the rescue of science journalism with a list of warnings they can go ahead and stick on their articles.
Samples below. We can go ahead and stick that first one on this article since I basically copied his bio from his website. Here are some samples below but go to the link and show him some love so he doesn't declare pirate war on us. He also runs the British part of International Talk Like A Pirate Day.By all means, moderators, feel free to slap these on any articles you want, since we are as guilty as anyone.
Of course, talking like a pirate and re-shaping science journalism ethics are not all he does. He also does cool projects like The Webcycle - a handy way for internet addicts to get fit: the faster you pedal, the faster your internet goes. The fitness possibilities are wonderful.
It's an exercise bike, with sensors on the pedals, connected to an Arduino and a laptop running Ubuntu with wondershaper.
