AIDS is dying of AIDS.

Think of the money the drug industry will lose! They've probably had the cure for years, actually, they've just been withholding it. They're still kicking themselves for all the money they've lost curing all the other shit they've cured.

George Carlin bro.

Also, if AIDS is cured I'm burning all of my condoms and doing it 70's-style.

atsonicpark 09.24.2009 01:17 AM

What if they cured DEATH ITSELF?

amerikangod 09.24.2009 01:18 AM

Then I'm killing myself, David Carradine style.

I don't remember there being any particular fashion with burning condoms in the 70s. Burning condoms was a much more free-for-all thing than it is today.

demonrail666 09.24.2009 05:09 AM

AIDS was always too much of an 80s thing to really last much into the new millennium. Even condoms, all that latex, ended up being a bit too much like a Robert Palmer video.

Lurker 09.24.2009 07:31 AM

I would be so happy if they found a cure! I'm incredibly paranoid about getting the disease.

atsonicpark 09.24.2009 08:10 AM

Microsoft Vista is AIDS, in computer form.

floatingslowly 09.24.2009 08:14 AM

Jesus killed teh aids

notyourfiend 09.24.2009 08:17 AM

y'all are so unnecessarily cynical sometimes. if this winds up leading to something that works, it will be absolutely incredible.

SONIC GAIL 09.24.2009 08:41 AM

I don't think we will ever completely cure Aids or Cancer, and frankly in the grand scheme of the planet, I think that is how it is supposed to be. They are vicious diseases, but people are not meant to live forever.

floatingslowly 09.24.2009 09:15 AM

I don't think that we will ever completely cure cynicism either.

I'm currently slowly dying from it.

SONIC GAIL 09.24.2009 09:16 AM

an there is no cure for symbolism

Shifty Prophet 09.24.2009 09:31 AM

Scientists may cure AIDS, but rest assured another virus will spring up and take its place. Either due to natural mutation or forced entry into civil life from the drug companies.

grammatically not correct, i know.

but in my book a baby is 1000x worse than some infection that goes away with a shot.

(minus genital warts/herpes. thats worse than a baby)

I love my babies! I don't want anymore though. :p

AIDS: Rage Of Explicit Sex - A millionaire who is dying of AIDS, reunites with his former sex partners in order to find out who infected him. Featuring a guy fucking a REAL cow skull! Offbeat XXX Boca do Lixo shit directed by the enigmatic Fauzi Mansur. In Portuguese with no subs. A Brazilian guy told me this film was part of a minor wave of "AIDSploitation" titles hailing from Brazil in the 80s. Just think of all the beautiful possibilities!

On that note, interesting how the most wealthy and high profiled celebrity diagnosed with HIV, Earvin "Magic" Johnson, recently gets an "undetectable" diagnosis for his HIV. Not only did he halt progressing to AIDS, but has beat out HIV.

It could be a factor of healthy lifestyle with expensive care and coaching, but I really wonder if he's getting a "unique" or "special" concoction of drugs. Are they on to something that could eliminate the need for prolonged and expensive non-agressive treatment?

Herpes is a livable risk. Most people don't even get symptoms, and those that do stop getting those symptoms after several years. It's not as terrifying as people try to make it out to be. Most people have it and never know.

Which reminds me, I'm due for a test. I always come out as pure as snow, but it's nice being able to tell ladies that and not be lying.

Satan 09.24.2009 08:18 PM

terriblecanyons 09.24.2009 08:23 PM

stuff like Cancer and Aids are nature's population control

I wouldn't worry too much about the health industry if they cured aids, they still have the natural disease to work with...human stupidity.

I know a ton of people who would beat the shit out of you for saying that. I may or may not be one of them.

amerikangod 09.24.2009 09:58 PM

Oh, leave the dude alone. Insensitivity is the new black.

Also, you're all ignoring the very real threat that overpopulation poses.

tw2113 09.24.2009 09:59 PM

Doesn't mean i can't feel bad for the people who suffer from those. I won't deny it's a jagged idea that a lot of people refuse to believe r accept, but if you think about it, it's true in a lot of ways.

amerikangod 09.24.2009 10:19 PM

Why feel bad about anything when you can feel great about everything?

tw2113 09.24.2009 10:41 PM

too lazy

People who've had HIV for bloody years say that with the treatments available these days, and thats with pills and vitamines and not doing blow for weeks on end, that a person with HIV or AIDS has a greater shot of a healthy lifespan than a person with diabetes with their taking of insulin.

Then do us all a favor and kill yourself

atsonicpark 09.25.2009 01:54 AM

There should be a law where people are only allowed to have, like, one child. Maybe two at the most. It's these fucking "octomom" bitches that make the world ridiculous.

Genteel Death 09.25.2009 01:57 AM

The birth rate around the globe has fallen dramatically in the past 2 decades. So you know.
