The Reuters story, Botswana beauty pageant crowns Miss HIV, features an interesting choice of ads to accompany it…
Oops…
Update: In case you can’t imagine that there would might be someone who could take offense at the Reuters page; Rightwingsparkle (who found it via Beautiful Atrocities) points out this article about a lady who took offense at seeing a police officer eat a banana.
– These guys don’t monkey around…..
Oliver Willis is going to have a word with you.
Thanks for the heads up…I’ll be sure to wear my boots…. thought you were supposed to be on hiatus……
Heh.
Let us hope this woman doesn’t find out about this:

Kevin: You are in deep doo-doo on this one.
NYT.
Everytime.
Everywhere.
Print it.
Is that Sulzbegonia, btw, adjusting his tie?
Please confirm.
So, how’d they get the Columbus GA policeman in the suit?
Sometimes a banana is just a banana.
– Ok….if no one else is brave enough to say it I will….. Was the Chimp emcee or third runner up….
Kevin, Paul got that a while ago.
What I find even more remarkable are the ads themselves. I agree about the earlier, all that, but the ads, look at them! TNYT paid for that?!?
I mean, I can’t decide whether the obvious is intended or overlooked by the client. Either way, however, they *work for me*! Ha.
Maybe it’s a New Age sorta thing: eat a lot of potassium and >presto
(Message truncated, earlier, sorry, let me try that again without the markters):
Maybe it’s a New Age sorta thing: eat a lot of potassium and *presto* HIV just goes away! Maybe the key solution that is being overlooked is that you must EAT A BANANA FROM A MONKEY FROM NEW YORK in order for the magic juju to work! Yeah, that must be it.
