Today’s nomination for “wrong story posted by a citizen journalist” goes to… #HIV #AIDS
Just gotta LOVE those “citizen journalists” who stay on top of the facts. And by that I mean totally screw up. Both Towleroad and JMG posted the same story today about the “Infinite Forest” being chosen as the AIDS memorial park design in NYC. The problem is that not even an hour later the winning design was completely rejected (a fact both sites never bothered to follow...

Today’s installment of Fabricated Stories
Starring the lovely and completely naked Joe Jervis – Chief Cook and Bottle Washer of JMG. (Sorry, I clipped out the good bits. Google Ads would suspend me for the x-pic and I like their loot). Sadly, I called out Joe just yesterday for his completely wrong story on oral HIV testing being just as reliable as blood tests. Here’s his bit, entitled “GOProud: Santorum is better than...

When “citizen journalists” get HIV reporting wrong #HIV #AIDS
I’ve never been shy about preaching that: a. ”citizen journalists” are only half right: they’re citizens. b. bloggers who want the fame and fortune that goes with running a popular site need to step up to a set of responsibility and ethics that’s sorely lacking from pretty much every site out there. Not all the big box sites, mind you. Just most of them. c. the...

Marine leads a massacre of 24 Iraqis and gets (drum roll, please…) three months in jail
Wow, talk about the deal of the century. And by that I mean “what in the flying fuck were they thinking handing out this deal?” Staff Sergeant Frank Wuterich, 31, entered his plea at Camp Pendleton Marine Corps base north of San Diego as part of a deal with military prosecutors in which more serious charges of involuntary manslaughter and aggravated assault were dismissed. As part of his...

Kentucky cuts $50mil from education so they can spend $43mil on Noah’s Ark
OK, let’s just file this under “spectacularly fucking stupid decisions” shall we? In one of the most spectacularly mis-prioritized state budgets in recent memory, Kentucky Governor Steve Beshear (D), is suggesting over $50 million in cuts to education – while preserving $43 million in tax breaks for the Ark Encounter, a creationist amusement park centered around a life-sized...

Man shoots nail into brain, uploads the xray to Facebook before they remove it.
If ever there was a winner for “Too Addicted to Facebook”, this is it: Autullo was recovering Friday after undergoing surgery at Advocate Christ Medical Center in Oak Lawn, where doctors removed the 3 1/4-inch (7.62 centimetre) nail. It had come within millimeters of the part of the brain that controls motor function. “When they brought in the picture, I said to the doctor ‘Is...

The confusing issue of LA and it’s mandatory condoms in porn initiative #HIV #AIDS
Leave it to the AIDS Health Foundation and Michael Weinstein to use their condoms-in-porn-or-else stance to make things confusing (while, of course keeping their name out there). Ready? Set? Go! The AHF has been rallying for mandatory condoms in porn now (rather than, say I don’t know…using their resources to help people with HIV/AIDS) and there’s just no getting them or...

The most depressing story on gays and body image I’ve read in a long time
This one made the rounds yesterday, but I had to work 18 hours so it’s not coming out from me until today. A new survey shows that men would actually prefer to lose time off their life span if the trade off was a “perfect body” Indeed, gay men have been stereotypically cast as gym bunnies by popular culture for some time, but a new British poll has now revealed a slightly more...
