'New Age' Residents Protest Glastonbury Wi-Fi Network


Glastonbury, England's recent establishment of a free, municipal wireless network has met fierce opposition from the town's considerable 'New Age' population, Fox News reports.

Concerned citizens have started an online petition in protest of the Wi-Fi network, claiming that the network's "non-ionising, electrostatically pulsating microwave radiation" has caused health problems in the populace, including: "headaches, dizziness, nausea, severe tiredness, brain fog, disorientation and loss of appetite, loss of balance, inability to concentrate, loss of creativity."

Glastonbury -- home to the annual, mammoth Glastonbury Festival -- is rumored to be the final resting place of King Arthur and appeals to many folks fascinated with mysticism and paganism.

At present, the petition hosts 14 signatures, with additional comments including, "Switch it off!" and "Disgraceful nightmare technology." One comment, from signer "27pa," simply reads, "HAHAHAHAHAHA."

So maybe that's 13 signatures. [From: Fox News]
