Pretty much said the same thing, in part: "Indeed the entire Fan Correction series features Conan being wrong and then pretending to think he's right, and backing that up with another response that's supposed to be obviously wrong and even more Mike Hoskinshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06551066714605052991noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3773372806308930207.post-59376838381549695922013-01-14T23:14:11.403-05:002013-01-14T23:14:11.403-05:00Thanks for speaking up on this, Karen.

Then I watched it again more closely, realizing I glossed over the sugar-causing part. And that made me cringe and have the exact same feelings as you. I wrote a post on that and it ran today, pretty much saying the same thing, and I forwarded it on to Team Coco in response to that email... we'Mike Hoskinshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06551066714605052991noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3773372806308930207.post-53366985556701153492013-01-11T19:47:53.398-05:002013-01-11T19:47:53.398-05:00Ok, so I think the video is kind of funny because ...Ok, so I think the video is kind of funny because they pretend their right at all costs. But if I wasn't T1 and watched this then I would probably think you could take insulin orally (not via juice box, of course). So....like you said, it totally contributes to the misconceptions about diabetes. Sigh.

But I also agree that ignorant people might not understand that. There IS a fine line between humor and offense, and I can see the offense there.
