Telling a cheater by their hair color?

Remember the Scarlet Letter?  The movie - not the book of course.  Because with the average age of my readers they would have no idea there was even a book - hell it was written in 1850 - before most of our GRANDPARENTS were alive.  Then again, the movie was in 1995 - so many of you might not remember it.  So the quick synopsis according to IMDB...

In 1666 in the Massachusetts Bay colony, Puritans and Algonquian have an uneasy truce. Hester arrives from England, seeking independence. Awaiting her husband, she establishes independence, fixing up a house, befriending Quakers and other outsiders. Passion draws her to a young pastor. He feels the same; when they learn her husband has probably died at the hands of Indians, they consummate their love. A child is born, and on the day Hester is publicly humiliated and made to wear a scarlet letter, her husband appears after a year with Indians. Calling himself Chillingworth, he seeks revenge, searching out Hester's lover and stirring fears of witchcraft. Will his murderous plot succeed?

So. don't you wish that scarlet letters existed today?  That bitches and assholes wore a bit sign on them shirt that they were a cheater so we could all avoid them?  Yeah, that's not gonna happen, so this new study by CheaterVille.com (yes, that's real - there is a website for everything! This one is where you can update "profiles" of know cheaters) shows that you can tell if a person is a cheater by their hair color.  Yes, seriously.

So, CheaterVille conducted a surgery of all online postings submitted by its users and found what hair color each of it's cheaters was.  Here are the results:

1.  Of those alleged male cheaters, 40% of the men had brown hair; 32% had black hair, 20% had blond hair and 5% had red hair.

2.  For the girls, 43% of the alleged cheaters were blond, 32% were gingers, 20% had brown hair and 11 % had black hair.

** now this doesn't take into account the overall population's hair color, this is just the percentage of those who cheated on the website. And I'm not in the mood to look up those actual statistics **

1.  For those who are victims of the cheating (both men and women) 43% had brown hair.

2.  And believe it or not, 8% of the women who reported cheating said their partners had asked them to change their hair color.  -- Boys, don't ask your girl to change!

Take all of this how you want, but hey... statistics are fun.
