According to Clearblue, manufacturers of digital pregnancy tests, one in four women can misread a traditional pregnancy test. Sheesh, these women. First they done go and git knocked up, then they can't even work out whether they're up the stick or not. But never fear - help is at hand! Because the nice people in the labs at Clearblue have invented a special, new sort of pregnancy test, that literally spells it out for you - 'pregnant' or 'not pregnant' - whereas before, you had to wait and see if a line appeared or not. Complicated, eh? But this was clearly beyond the wit of woman (or one in four women at least), so things had to be refined.
The question is, does this mean that a) the old pregnancy tests made by, um, Clearblue, were really difficult to use, and therefore, a bit rubbish? Or b) one in four women really is that stupid? Hmm... Surely the answer couldn't be c) Pharmaceutical company uses misleading statistics based on tiny sample of women selected to make a point in order to try and sell their product?
