People are really taking the piss out of Noel Edmonds over his tweets about cancer

Noel Edmonds is accustomed to being attacked every time he expresses an opinion on...well, just about anything.

Just a few weeks ago, he came in for a lot of flak for comments attacking the BBC - while dressed as a woman. https://twitter.com/LondonW128QT/status/736886841580785666 This morning, he's getting a lot of abuse for tweeting about the virtues of a device called an EMP Pad, which he claims "slows ageing, reduces pain, lifts depression and stress, and tackles cancer." And just for emphasis, he says: "Yep, tackles cancer!" https://twitter.com/NoelEdmonds/status/740067385592434688 He really likes his pad. https://twitter.com/NoelEdmonds/status/740066623776825344 Noel has gone in hard on his claims for the device's supposed abilities and merits. https://twitter.com/NoelEdmonds/status/740072780746661888 Needless to say, this has provoked a lot of anger from people, but Edmonds arguably made things worse with his replies, one of which implied that diseases like cancer are "caused by negative energy". https://twitter.com/NoelEdmonds/status/740075927036649472 The rest of the reaction to his claims comprises anger and mockery. Mostly mockery.
