Smutley the Cat AIDS PSA

Marina Galperina — Fri, 25 Mar 2011 15:00:54 +0000

Watch Smutley the Cat go on a nine-round non-discriminatory fuckfest in this high quality piece of animation from a French AIDS-awareness site. Somewhere mid-Joan Jett’s “Bad Reputation,” between a gleeful goldfish blow job and the bondage pig scenario, the message gets fuzzy (NSFW).

But you’re not an idiot, so figure it out. Bag it before you bang it.

Ad Tells Gay Men With AIDS How Much They Will Suffer

Bucky Turco — Mon, 13 Dec 2010 15:45:51 +0000

The NYC health department created this dismal spot aimed squarely at gay men, since they’re the only ones dying of AIDS. It probably won’t do much to prevent the transmission of the HIV virus, but should effectively remind those who are currently infected, how bleak their future is.

Osteoporosis, Dementia and Anal Cancer are but a few of the conditions to expect. This is a PSA for why patients shouldn’t even bother taking any anti-AIDS drugs right?

Who’s Gonna Pony Up the Money to Resurrect ‘Dead’ Celebrities?

Bucky Turco — Thu, 02 Dec 2010 22:00:04 +0000

America’s biggest celebrities are dead, social networking wise, but no one seems to care. Only $162,750 has been raised as we enter day two of their gimmicky demise. Maybe symbolically killing yourself and strictly relying on your fan base to revive you isn’t such a wise strategy after all? Something tells me their managers and publicists are going to pool in the rest, they’re the ones that can’t afford the silence. Well, them and kids dying of AIDS.

I (Sort Of) Don’t Give a Damn About My Bad Reputation

Kari Ferrell — Thu, 04 Mar 2010 17:59:03 +0000

There seems to be a major issue with me doing anything but scamming people out of their money these days. Try to do something with your life, and you get lambasted with negative comments about, well, everything. Want to fuck on camera? People complain. Want to write for a website or magazine? People complain. Want to work for a charity, saving AIDS babies from global warming? People complain.

The point is, after you fuck up, there is little you can do to rectify yourself. Everyone will always see you as what you were; which in my case is “The Hipster Grifter.”

Anytime you veer from that path, people will have something to say. If you do try to do good, people will chime in, saying that you don’t care about such and such cause, and that you’re just doing it for the publicity. If you don’t try to do anything and wish to remain in the low-light, people will get on you for not making a difference, and not using your notoriety for positive things. It’s a lose-lose situation, and it pretty much sucks like a senator (R) in the little boy’s room.

I recognize that I made huge mistakes, and this is what I get; made my bed, now I have to fuck in it. Everyone has to deal with the subsequent consequences of their decisions, and I understand that completely. I’m not trying to skirt my “fate,” but it gets pretty obnoxious, knowing that even though you are sorry and regret what you did, no one will ever believe you.

So, to all of you who have an issue with me: Thank you. I don’t think that you realize that the more you hate on me, the more publicity I get, and the closer I come to getting paid real money for doing close to nothing at all. Keep it up.

Oh, and I’m paying a visit to good ol’ Gawker this afternoon, to do a live Q&A. Come and talk shit! Check in with them for details.

Will Crude Bathroom Graffiti Penis Get Some?

Copyranter — Tue, 19 Jan 2010 15:40:49 +0000

It is my job, as this copyranter character, to try my hardest to type caustic hatred about every ad ever produced by anybody. Usually, it’s easy. Occasionally, I have to fake it. But sometimes, rarely, I can’t muster much real or synthetic bile. Like with this new French AIDS awareness video

The spot, via TBWA in Paris, is for France’s AIDES Foundation. It’s irresponsible because: 1.) it’s promoting random underground Metro bathroom sex; 2.) the silly animation belittles the sacred act of fucking; and, 3.) the penis does it with all those orifices while wearing the same condom. There. That’s the best I can do. Actually, it’s a fun video that effectively delivers a simple message. You really want to see some terrible AIDS awareness ads, here you go. Btw, TBWA Paris also produced one of the best AIDS print campaigns I’ve seen. |Video: Creativity|

Did the Panama Monster Die of AIDS?

Bucky Turco — Tue, 29 Sep 2009 14:45:54 +0000

Although no one knows for sure, the general consensus on the Panama Monster is that it’s a sloth. But what did the strange creature really die of and why did it lose all its hair? Scientists may have inadvertently solved the mystery: “The remains of an ancient HIV-like virus have been discovered in the genome of the two-toed sloth [Choloepus hoffmanni] by a team led by Oxford University scientists.” So if you’re heroin buddy is a slimy two-toed sloth, remember not to share needles with it. |ScienceDaily|

Pope Argues Against Common Sense, Condoms In Africa

Bucky Turco — Tue, 17 Mar 2009 22:32:06 +0000

For an institution that has based its entire existence on lies and deception, it should come as no surprise that the head of the Catholic Church, Pope Benedict XVI, had this to say about combating AIDS in Africa with condoms, claiming it’s “a tragedy that cannot be overcome by money alone, that cannot be overcome through the distribution of condoms, which even aggravates the problems.” |Faded Youth|

Saddam Biggest Fear: AIDS

ANIMAL — Tue, 06 May 2008 18:58:35 +0000

It was disease-ridden US soldiers Saddam feared most while in captivity. From an excerpt out of his diary: “I explained to them that they are young and they could have young people’s diseases,” Saddam wrote. “My main concern was to not catch a venereal disease, an HIV disease, in this place.” |AP|
