everybody just looking for a reason to blame their actions on something else. Oh it wasn't me that was an asshat, it was the ADVIL! Yes, Bayer made me do it!

Well, the start of the article certainly exaggerates to suck in readers, but I don't think it really discusses the issue you bring up.

It's just reporting a scientific study: they seem to observe a real, interesting effect that has so-far escaped our attention despite these drugs being so widely used.

I agree that some people will subsequently try to use this as a weak excuse for their actions, but that's just shitty human nature: pretty unrelated to the article or the scientists who are helping to dispel our ignorance on this matter.
