The startling conclusion of a recent survey published in the highly reputed journal- ??? We Investigate Anything:

Since the advent of Orkut, there has been a remarkable proliferation of bedrooms where good old Mess reigns supreme (as evidenced by the responses to the question, "In my bedroom you will find.....".

A student at the Institute for Changing Social Realities concurs and adds, that the findings are revelatory of the need to"come to terms with the storm and stress in our lives and to...well.........connect!" Prominent behavioural scientists have highlighted an interesting aspect of the controversy, in asserting, that it is the pressure to conform, that leads an ever increasing army of youngsters to adhere to the norm of considering Mess to be the defining feature of their bedrooms. This can also be explained in terms of the "self-ideal discrepancy", they continue, meaning, that respondents base their responses not on how messy they are, but on how messy they want to be.....There were a few dissenting voices that pleaded, that the responses were instead based on the fact that their rooms were infact messy. However an expert from the Centre for Lateral Thinking dismissed these, maintaining, that the results are symptomatic of a deeper malaise- the failure of our society to systematically cultivate a love for unstructured, ambiguous stimuli in each child.

The researchers, however, aver that, they are happy that their work has sparked off a lively and informed debate on a crucial issue and conclude their analysis with the comment, "Are the findings of this investigation true? The answer to this is more complex than a simple 'Yes' or 'No'..."
