TORONTO (AFP) - US boys hooked on gospel, techno and pop are more at risk of HIV infection than devotees of other musical styles, including "bling, bling" hip hop, according to a new study. Musical tastes may offer clues to rates of HIV infection, said researchers who tried to decipher the complex behaviors and attitudes of young men in the United States, at a global AIDS conference.

Who funds this idiotic stuff anyway? The UN?

Ditto! My feeling exactly.

The most likely age group for catching ANY sexually transmitted disease is the 16 to 25 years olds - Because that is also the most sexually promiscuous age. And what kind of music are they most likely to listen too?

I WOULD BET THIS SAME STUDY WOULD SHOW:
• People who had acne within the last 8 years are most likely to get HIV.
• People whos favorite food is Pizza are more likely to get HIV.
• People who ever wore baggy pants with the crotch hanging way down to their knees are most likely to get HIV.
• People who never played a vinyl record on a record player are most likely to get HIV.
• People who never played PONG are more likely to get HIV.

Care to add more to the study?

Hey wait for the NEXT big study, it's going to reveal that oxygen breathing humans (heh heh, are there any other kind?) have a LIMITED life span, they eventually DIE!!!

Oh my GAWD, who knew?!?!?

Professor Irwin Corey would be proud of these jokers.

...and boys hooked on Broadway show tunes top the list.

Like "I Want to be a Producer" and "Keep it Gay"?

I'd imagine those who like these artists are more at risk:

-Barbra Streisand
-Elton John
-George Michael
-Grace Jones

"Judy Garland and "Over the Rainbow" is got to be #1."

If that's #1, then her second biggest song comes next:

The song she sang to Dear Mr.(Clark) Gable, "You Made Me Love You,"(...I didn't wanna do it,I didn't wanna do it..).......playing in the background while......nevermind.
