I don’t want to know what they did for the talent competition.

If I were young and attractive in Uganda, I would claim to be HIV+ whether I really was or not.
Might discourage the rapists...

The “winning” contestants don’t look all that enthusiastic IMO. Especially her.

Must have been pretty competitive. A good part of the population there has it.

Before renting your next venue, find out who is scheduled prior to your date.
