Media for World AIDS Day
World AIDS Day 2009
Dec 1, 2009

Universal Access and Human Rights
The - 'I AM' theme
Background
The World AIDS Campaign arrived at the selection of the theme Universal Access and Human Rights after close consultation with representatives of various constituencies, communications and media representatives of partner organizations, and friends of the World AIDS Campaign.

Why I AM?
Understanding HIV and AIDS from a human rights perspective can be difficult. Human rights are often misunderstood and can sometimes be seen as abstract ideals with not much practical relevance for real people.

The slogans for the World AIDS Day materials were designed to bridge that gap and underscore the importance of awareness of Human Rights.

Among the key slogans adopted:

• I am accepted.
• I am safe.
• I am getting treatment.
• I am well
• I am living my rights.

Everyone deserves to live their rights

Right to Live
Right to Health

Access for all to HIV prevention treatment care and support is a critical part of human rights. The aim was to provide concise, informative texts designed to illustrate the relationship between Human Rights and Universal Access. [SOURCE]

How does a story get Density?

1986 to 2009
By Pat Darnell and the Herd

The Pope goes to Africa. He stands before one million Africans in a white garb and a pointy hat. He says to all the mothers of Africa... "Condoms alone will not save you from AIDS."

The Pope is actually halfway correct. Though his followup is shaky -- "Abstinence, my children. That is the only sure way to prevent contracting AIDS..."

The truth is that condoms alone, in a population that has no resources for prevention or long term health care of innocent victims, will not prevent any epidemic of a sexually transmitted disease. This disorder appears in human history many times.

The Catholic Church rejects the use of condoms as part of its overall teaching against artificial contraception. Senior Vatican officials have advocated fidelity in marriage and abstinence from premarital sex as key weapons in the fight against AIDS.

The late Cardinal Alfonso Lopez Trujillo made headlines in 2003 for saying that condoms may help spread AIDS through a false sense of security, claiming they weren't effective in blocking transmission of the virus. The cardinal, who died last year, headed the Vatican's Pontifical Council for the Family. [SOURCE]

Three-quarters of all AIDS deaths worldwide in 2007 were in sub-Saharan Africa, where some 22 million people are infected with HIV — accounting for two-thirds of the world's infections, according to UNAIDS. (VICTOR L. SIMPSON, Associated Press Writer Victor L. Simpson, Associated Press Writer; On Africa trip, pope says condoms won't solve AIDS – Tue Mar 17, [SOURCE])

But -- we are exploring the density of this story, right?

Back in 1986, Surgeon General C. Everett Koop spoke the truth when he said “....the best protection against [HIV] infection right now – barring abstinence – is use of a condom. A condom should be used during sexual relations, from start to finish, with anyone who you know or suspect is infected.” Lost in the controversy that has ensued during the two decades that have followed Dr. Koop’s courageous stand is the truth about this innovative piece of medical technology, not so much from intentional misstatement by its opponents as from editing and obfuscation that have confused what is a relatively simple issue. [SOURCE]

Without background, this story could never make any sense. Africans think the Pope is making a hard line statement about Catholic Doctrine for anti-birth-control. In truth the Pope is applying logic, statistics and patterns of human behavior to the question of prevention of spreading AIDS in Africa. A condom alone makes no difference in the over all numbers of victims, in a population like Africa's present populace.

A non-US made condom costs 3 cents.... uhhh is there a question about the nonexistent income of a single mother parent... and her vulnerability? African indigenous women, maybe, make three cents a week. How many times-a-week is the matron expected to put out sex? The Pope, God love him, is not half wrong; but the African opposition is 100% wrong. And all the Cardinals are out of the loop. Both abstinence, condoms, and fidelity including no adolescent or premarital sex will slow down AIDS, maybe.

Can I get a witness? This story is DENSE.

Another Execution in TEXAS and We forgot to write about AIDS, Artificial Insemination by the Donor's Sperm

MooPig Editors have noticed a growing trend. "We see a sincere confusion in the minds of the entire human population concerning human Sperm, and its role in society," reply the editors.

MooPig understands the need for good reportage in the name of Human Sperm. So it has begun a special task force to sort out the various categories of sperm transmissions.

Murderer Medellin Executed At Last—No Thanks To Bush Administration By Brenda Walker

With the long-postponed August 5 execution of illegal alien Mexican Jose Medellin for the brutal 1993 gang-rape and murder of two Houston girls, Jennifer Ertman, 14, and Elizabeth Pena, 16, in 1993, a sense of relief has passed throughout Texas and beyond.

Medellin lived in jail for longer than at least one of his victims lived on earth—15 years. Too long, if you believe that justice delayed is justice denied.

Not only was Medellin a depraved gangmember of the worst kind, he had become a poster Mexican martyr—revealing much that is wrong with the White House, where the Mexichurian President took the side of the killer and worked against the families of the murdered girls. Bush leaned hard on the Texas courts to consider the objection of the International Court of Justice—that Medellin's arrest did not include informing him of his right to contact the Mexican Consulate under the Vienna Convention—yet another instance of his energetic pursuit of the well-being of Mexicans to the detriment of American citizens.

Bush's meddling was a clear violation of the separation of powers, one of the basic principles of our system of government. As Rep. Ted Poe (R-TX, and a former judge) remarked on CNN (Oct 10, 2007), "...under the separation of powers, the president hasn't—does not have any authority over any court to tell them what to do. And the highest court in Texas recently ruled, in all respect to the president, that he has no jurisdiction in this matter at all."( read the entire article HERE)

#1. The shooting script of the 'Funniest Joke In The World' sketch from Series 1, Show 1 (05/01/1969) originally included an interview with a man reminiscing about Germans dropping jokes on Britain during the war. Pixley quotes a line: "I remember the lady at the sweetshop - she copped one in January... there was a very good rude one in March, which caused a lot of trouble in the Wandsworth area...". Johnson notes that the sketch also featured a speech from Churchill. [NOTE: Johnson also mentions other sketches present in the original script which were dropped but resurfaced in later shows, including 'Lingerie Robbery', 'Dirty Fork', 'Johann Gambolputty...Of Ulm', the 'Donkey Rides' joke, and Palin's 'Redcoat' linkman. Also a Milano V Napoli fight originally broke out at the end of the 'Italian Lesson' sketch.]

When was the last time you were in a shopping mall and observed a human foaming at the mouth, eating his shirt, and using a solar flashlight?

Well, this person has been inflicted with AIDS, the disease that effects the entire family.

Now is the time to stop this terrible disease called AIDS. Millions of people each year are stricken with chicken-pox. By now, you are probably thinking; "Why in the Hell can't my oven freeze water??" Well, most ovens can't freeze water, but that doesn't matter now.....

As seen, Sperm remains a very hot topic, as old as seraphic governance and just as misunderstood. We would hope this introduction will somehow alert society to the dire need for more knowledge about the subject!!
