So today I pissed off two, count 'em two, people because I joked about Aids. So what, right? If you're offended by people joking about Aids, it's probably because either you have Aids or someone you know either has or had Aids. With that in mind, if you are offended then you really must have made some bad decisions in life or you should reconsider who you hang out with. Or maybe there's a bigger problem, I'll get to that later.
Anyway, Aids is just a remarkable little bug, ain't it? It took every form of 'precaution' and completely shot it out of the water. The size of a micron of HIV is smaller then that of a condom, so those are no good. And sharing needles? Yeah that's really smart, you can afford the 50 bucks for dope but you can't drag your lazy ass down to the clinic for a clean needle? For shame. Well, evolution takes time, and that's Aids really is. Just a way to clean the garbage off the street and put it where it belongs. But what about blowjobs? Technically HIV doesn't spread by saliva, but it does spread by mouth sores and open wounds. Keep that in mind next time you wanna rent a hooker to use a flashlight and make sure she at least has all her teeth.
But what else is there?
I know a while ago I talked about regulating the porn industry due to how unsafe it really is and the illusion that it's somehow regulated by some doctors office ran by some ex-porn star named Sharon Mitchell that charges on a sliding scale. But in reality, it isn't. The business of porn is fucking for money. And I think that condoms do no good, but only add to the illusion that porn is safe and safe sex means using a condom.
It doesn't though, and HIV is a really really brilliant and intelligent little bugger that came along and completely destroyed the 80's. What happened during the 80's? Obviously if you have to ask, that means you're a part of the problem. When Magic Johnson caught aids, suddenly it became a nationwide health scare..But only for a couple of years. It lasted through the entire decade and by the 90's it was back to business as usual. Is everybody crazy, ignorant, or just plain stupid? My guess is both ignorant and stupid, and I think the education system needs a few updates as to how HIV really passes on. I asked a few random people how they catch Aids, know what they said? Dirty needles and hookers. That's true, but it ain't entirely true. They left out condoms being completely ineffectual and still think blowjobs aren't even sex.
Like I said before, Aids is bigger of a problem now then it was in the 80's only because people are less aware of how big of a problem it is, if that makes sense. Keep in mind that if you sleep with a person who has Aids, there's a chance you will catch it. What you do with it? That becomes everyone's problem. Remember that asshole Spitzer and that hooker he slept with earlier this year? He was the perfect face for how ignorant people really are.
Anyways, I think there's a lot of misconception and stigma about everything from Aids to Drugs, and the only way we'll really nip this problem in the bud is by funding education programs. Then Aids won't be funny, it'll encourage people to think twice before doing that next rail of speed and barebacking on film for some rock.
But for now, I laugh. All those people who caught Aids in the 80's are dead, they're fucking dead. Not that soft, I'll-die-in-my-sleep kind of death either. A long, agonizing, bleeding from every orifice and begging to be shot kind of death. I laugh because people thought they were safe and it was cool to be ignorant and live for the moment. That's the price you pay when you dance with the devil, you take the good with the bad.

I'm simply appalled.
How could you not post this on World Aids Day? You should have posted this on 1 December.
Im sorry, while the rest of the world wears a red ribbon and throws their money at an uncurable disease, I'm throwing up black and green shit. Yeppers, while Aids is rampant and ignored in places like Africa and even the states, they feel that holding hands while marching will cure this god-awful disease. Instead of investing in education and real awareness, the world throws one day a year (Not bad, 20 years ago Aids was all the rage and there wasn't a whole lot of fucking for some time) at this lost cause.
