CBS News thinks EDM is a street name for MDMA

Are our children injecting liquid Avicii?

WBZ-TV got its acronyms confused in the report (WBZ-TV/YouTube)

In a report ironically discussing the need for more education around drugs, CBS's Boston news station WBZ-TV managed to confuse MDMA with EDM.

Reporter Christina Hager was covering the fallout after 36 people were reportedly taken to hospital following an Avicii gig, when she dropped the clanger: "Part of that education is around the drug molly, also called MDMA or EDM."

EDM (electronic dance music) certainly shouldn't be ingested, with side effects including your heart turning into a kick drum and mouth suddenly blurting out synth lines, nor taken in conjunction with those other dangerous substances dubstep and minimal tech.

CBS has since removed the report from its YouTube channel, but not before it was ripped and re-uploaded by an amused viewer.

"Brb, injecting some EDM," one commentor wrote, with another adding: "Ladies and gentlemen: the fruits of grossly misinformed fear-mongering."

For the record WBZ, this is was MDMA looks like:
