Study: Teenage 'virginity pledges' are ineffective. Really?! ZOMG. What a fooking shocker!

Sniff.

In fact, I haven't been this gobsmacked since '06 when it was reported that virginity pledgers frequently lie about not being virgins in the first place, or lie about having taken the pledge when they later get their sex on before a ring gets put on someone's something [/Beyoncé].

As far as I know, the only thing for which virginity pledges are really useful is creeping the hell out of sensible people when done as part of a Purity Ball.
