Yes, you read that right- an actor of prominence wore a red ribbon on his suit jacket at the Golden Globe Awards on Sunday night. Before I laud praise, I gotta say that it was wonderful to see one of those little suckers. Really. I paused the screen to...

I Victory Crouch You by Synthetic Division (Halo Tribute)
Did you hear the story last month about how a group of gamers solved a problem with HIV that has been baffling scientists for over a decade? Click here to learn more about how a University of Washington program transforms scientific problems into computer games. I,...
Two and a Half Men: Did Charlie Harper Have HIV?
I'm not a big Two And A Half Men fan- in fact I've never watched an entire episode until last night. Morbid curiosity drew me in, as I was wondering how they would kill off the womanizing, drug-usin', freerollin' Charlie Sheen's character, the womanizing, drug-usin',...
The Last American Virgin (1982)
So I was browsing Netflix, and thought of an old movie I saw as a kid, The Last American Virgin. Even though my parents weren't too tight with enforcing the R-rating, I doubt I saw this one in the theater in 1982 since I was 7 when it came out. I'm thinking I watched...
Tracy Morgan’s Dad Had HIV
Usually when someone apologizes for a public/personal misstep, the only thing that comes across is that they are sorry they got caught. On Monday I blogged about Tracy Morgan's homophobic rant at one of his stand-up gigs earlier this month. In the last couple of weeks...
Tracy Morgan’s “Scare Tactics” and HIV
In early June, during one of his stand-up comedy routines in Nashville, Tracy Morgan made some anti-gay remarks that didn't come across as a laughing matter. During what has been described as a rant, Morgan said he would kill his son if he learned he was gay. The...
Eloquent with Rage, ONE Condoms and Will.I.Am.A.Moron
My good buddy Bob Geise noticed a prompt from ONE Condoms over on Facebook to write a poem about condoms. Being the good poet and writer that he is, Bob channeled his frustration over a recent interview that Will.I.Am of the Black Eyed Peas conducted with Elle...
Video Reviews, Depeche Mode Covers, Cobain Remembered
Got lots swirling around in the ol' nugget today, but I want to lead out with yet another remembrance of Kurt Cobain. I know many think he's overrated and overmentioned, but this week marked 17 years since he took his own life... time flies, doesn't it? Near the end...
Stephen Colbert Talks AIDS
Poz blogger Oriol has some great insights on this week's discussion about AIDS on the Colbert Report, when Anthony Fauci appeared as a guest. I love Colbert, and think he did a great job of conveying the mass misunderstanding of HIV through his on-air character....
Meet Dirk Roth, Watch His Cool Video
I love music videos. The only time I see them is when TiVo picks up 120 Minutes on VH1 Classic, which I highly recommend watching if you haven't seen it. They show the best. I know, I know, you can YouTube videos anytime... but 120 Minutes really sorts out the quality...
