I don’t think it’s wise to joke about AIDS or any other disease.
I guess dark humor just isn’t allowed anymore.
How ironic. Will I be the first to bring up one of the original cases of Yellow Journalism in the 1920s concerning two Italian Americans who were convicted of robbery and murder based on slander and heresay; Anarchists Nicola Sacco and Bartolomeo Vanzetti. A seven year trial ending in their execution.
Oh I see what you did there....
What she said made no sense.
does she plan on sleeping around in Africa? Does being white make her immune to it?
Ping!
No, being white does not make her immune.
In this nation getting AIDS is a choice, however those who get it expect the rest of us to pay for it.
True that AIDS is a serious problem in Africa, especially in those countries where the UN has come in and told them that indiscriminate sex is fine as long as they use—or forget to use—condoms.
But she was really stupid to go public with a dumb, racist joke like that. Not exactly good public relations for her firm.
So many people get in trouble by posting thoughtless stuff on Facebook or tweeting it around. You’d think they’d learn better.
SInce your description is more than a little over the top I guess you will be the first to mention a case that at least had conflicting testimony and evidence. Your take on it is just this side of an Alex Jones rant
I read that in Greece people were getting AIDS on purpose to get disability checks or something from the government.
This is the New Brave World. Tell the truth and suffer the consequences. Welcome to Nazi Amerika
I think you can still do heart attack, and an old man having sex jokes.
I think you can still say “I’d rather be in traction than go out with (fill in the blank).
Twitter, for those times when you need to say something stupid, and you want the whole world to hear it.
She was fired because she’s a blithering idiot who brought unwanted attention upon her employer.
aids is like global warming. there is no no there there. no one ever died from aids.
Justine Sacco seems like an ignorant airhead. I all not be supporting her.
