Edd’s MANtra: Infectious Celebrities

I had planned to post something on Billboard naming Beyonce Woman of the year, but then I remembered that most of you readers despise her for reasons not even the haters can explain. No matter, I stumbled across something much more interesting at foxnews.com.

McAfee, the antivirus software maker, listed the Top 10 “Most Dangerous Celebrities to Search Online.” Apparently, searching for these celebrities run the highest risk of users contracting a computer virus.

And guess who came in at No. 2?

Uh-oh-uh-oh-uh-oh-oh-no-no

You might want to think twice before sticking your clicker on that lady. Might send your PC to the clinic.

Here’s the full list:

1. Jessica Biel
2. Beyonce
3. Jennifer Aniston
4. Tom Brady
5. Jessica Simpson
6. Gisele Bundchen
7. & 8. Angelina Jolie and Megan Fox (tie)
9. Ashley Tisdale
10. Brad Pitt

Although I’m sure all of these fine folks are big celebrities, I’d be lying if I said I knew who they all are. Is Jessica Biel the one who dates Justin Timberlake? Does Ashley Tisdale sing country?

And I have no idea who Gisele is – and I’m too paranoid to Google her to find out. I don’t want one of those electronic STDs.

Thanks, McAfee, now I’m afraid to search for anything. Abstinence might be the safest policy, but it sure isn’t the most productive.
