The death of Sex and the City
Guardian ^ | May 24, 2010 | Hadley Freeman

Posted on 05/24/2010 5:44:16 AM PDT by C19fan

I'm not asking for much. I just don't want to be sick in my mouth. I don't want to leave the cinema feeling like I've paid £7.50 to be mocked, patronised and kicked in the face. I don't want to be filled with despair at Hollywood's increasing inability to conceive of women in comedic films as anything other than self-obsessed babies with breasts. And I don't, most of all, want to spend two hours watching dreams and memories from my youth being trampled into humiliating self-parody. Is that too much to ask?

The CDC tracks IV transmissions separately from heterosexual transmissions. The 175,000 heterosexual transmissions excludes IV drug users.

The CDC also admits that it has no accurate way of diagnosing how the person contracted AIDS and that self identification was inaccurate upon closer study.

AIDS would be FAR more widespread if it wasn't for the fact that it's transmitted only though the most unusual activities.

Considering the amount of money the Federal Government spends (thought to be about 2 billion a year) on this rare and highly avoidable disease, people should at least know that those infected with it are going out of their way to get it.

Rush is still on the air after 20 years. Is well respected, brilliant, truthful, honorable and knows more about this country than silly jessica will ever know about anything.
Let’s see how long she remains in the public eye after this flop. She might be a flop too along with this silly movies but...Rush Limbaugh would NEVER say she should be taken out of movies. That is the difference between a conservative and a liberal. Time to get off the bandwagon jessica of when it was popular to bash bush. just gave you more press was all and your face on the news. Now whatcha gonna do? Movie tanked and in spite of the creams, skin treatments, fake this and fake that...you are STILL aging just like the rest of us. Hey, here’s an idea. Try behaving like an adult from here on in instead of a silly teenager with bad fashion sense.

Perhaps the statistics are skewed by those who won’t admit how they got the disease.

I can’t understand how this woman is a movie star...

It’s simply information, to take or leave.

No one seems to be arguing any more that AIDS can’t be transmitted heterosexually. You seem to be arguing that it’s happening less often than claimed. I believe I made my point.

175,000 cases compared to the total number of heterosexuals is rarely. There are far, far fewer homosexuals and far, far higher number of cases with them.

“Rarely” probably doesn’t mean much to the 175,000 heterosexuals with AIDS.

I challenge your sources, asserting “hetro transmission”.

Did they rule out I.V. drug use?

Not likely. Getting AIDS from heterosex would be a “preferred” explanation to getting it from homosexual anal sex or from drug use. Therefore heterosex rates should, if anything, be inflated.

I have no idea what the show is about but I saw a promo once and I must ask the same question as Chris Griffin from family guy; “It’s about three hookers and their mom?”

4 Gay Men in Manhattan who’s roles are played by women


I seem to remember the guy who created the show admitting to your point above. I also channel surfed through this dreck one time and the girls were all laughing and enjoying themselves together while watching gay male porn. I couldn’t help but think this was definitely more projection of this theme.

Like many absurdities on the amoral left, it is all so funny to dupe everyone so you can laugh about it. They must surely find it amusing to plant their fantasy in the mid-east.
