English Hippies Want Local Wi-Fi Network Turned Off

Turn off that Wi-Fi network — it's disturbing our chakras.

That's what many residents of Glastonbury, a lovely medieval town turned New Age hub in southwestern England, are demanding the local government do.

Ever since the town's free municipal wireless broadband network went online in May, people have been complaining of, as an online petition puts it, "headaches, dizziness, nausea, severe tiredness, brain fog, disorientation and loss of appetite, loss of balance, inability to concentrate, loss of creativity" — all ailments an examining physician would find it difficult to prove or disprove.

It’s all in their heads.

“Chakras” — sheesh!

"headaches, dizziness, nausea, severe tiredness, brain fog, disorientation and loss of appetite, loss of balance, inability to concentrate, loss of creativity"

Isn't that normal for a hippy?

<"headaches, dizziness, nausea, severe tiredness, brain fog, disorientation and loss of appetite, loss of balance, inability to concentrate, loss of creativity"

That's just caused by the dirty hippie stink.

Maybe it was just some bad weed, man.

Perhaps they should try putting the bongs away once in awhile.

Maybe we can get the New School moved there...

Sounds like what I read about when fluoridation went into effect in California. People were complaining about the same thing until it was announced that the fluoridation hadn't started yet .....

Aren’t those just symptoms of being hippies?

[JRandomFreeper]

If they let their homemade hooch age a little longer, the symptoms may disappear. Because it AIN'T the 802.11 RF causing their problems.

PS - what about cell phone signals and TV and radio and all manner of electromagnetic transmission????

[maclay]

If it wasn’t free, they would never have known about it in the first place.

[Red Badger]

How ‘bout we kick their sorry chakras out of town?...............

[Michael Barnes]

Your post; seconded.

[WildcatClan]

Priorities people. You know what else might disturb your Chakras? Islamists sawing your empty empty heads off with a dull knife for being infidels.

[Funee Kat]

Uhhh...what? Where am I?

Sounds like business-as-usual for DUmmies...

[navyguy]

Bullseye.

Is irony of this being described as a former mid-evil town lost on these Luddites?
