  • We all have AIDS!

  • Somehow, we still tolerate each other. Eventually this will be the only forum left.

Who Slept with Who Tree

Okay, this is a new game to play. The object is to figure out which one in the picture slept with whoever else in the picture and try to map it to everybody in the picture.

Wait...one's an Archbishop, so how does that work? And Nelson Mandela hasn't gotten laid in quite some time until recently (and only to his wife). Hmm, Rosie is in there, so maybe she had sex with Sharon Stone or something. Will Smith is in there, but I don't see anybody he would have slept with, except maybe Whoopi, and that's a long shot.

Man, this is hard. Maybe some of them shared needles or had a blood transfusion with their blood. Hmm, you wouldn't know the latter. Also, I doubt anybody here was born with it. Okay, so let's focus on the drug angle. Hmmmm...nobody in this group looks like the type to do drugs, especially needle drugs. Anybody there with a heroine habit?

I don't see the connections here. But, the ad says "We all have AIDS if one of us does". So, that means that if one of them had AIDS and didn't tell anybody, they would have passed it on to all of the people on the screen, right? Come on! If Tom Hanks said it, it must be true! Where's the connection?

"Because if one of us has AIDS, we all have it."

It's just a unified front Sine.

There are hundreds of thousands of Swedes who are genetically immune to HIV, so we can't all have AIDS =)

So why aren't we dissecting them to learn the secrets of their super powers??? No one will miss them! :)

It is due to a mutation of the CCR5 gene which prevents immune cells from developing a receptor which allow the virus to enter the cells.

Of course, forcing such a genetic trait could be damaging to our gene pool. Take sickle cell, for example.

It is due to mutated genes that prevent immune cells from developing the CCR5 receptor; just to avoid confusion. Like, 1% of Europeans/Central Asians are lucky enough to have crazy unprotected sex orgies.
