The National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH), a division of the National Institutes of Health (NIH), spent $823,200 of economic stimulus funds in 2009 on a study by a UCLA research team to teach uncircumcised African men how to wash their genitals after having sex. The genitalia-washing program is part of a larger $12-million UCLA study examining how to better encourage Africans to undergo voluntary HIV testing and counseling – however, only the penis-washing study received money from the 2009 economic stimulus law. The washing portion of the study is set to end in 2011...
Because AIDS researchers have been unsuccessful in convincing most adult African men to undergo circumcision, the UCLA study proposes to determine whether researchers can develop an after-sex genitalia-washing regimen that they can then convince uncircumcised African men to follow...
The study’s lead investigator Dr. Thomas J. Coates was the fourth highest-funded researcher in the country in 2002 and is currently conducting HIV research on three continents. CNSNews.com asked both Coates and NIMH the following question: “The Census Bureau says the median household income in the United States is $52,000. How would you explain to the average American mom and dad -- who make $52,000 per year -- that taxing them to pay for this grant was justified?”
Coates, who was unavailable for comment, directed CNSNews.com to ask grant-related questions of his assistant, Darya Freedman, who did not respond. The NIMH also declined to respond to CNSNews.com’s question.
But the thread turned out to be absolutely hilarious, too. I wonder why this didn’t get wider coverage.....
ROTFLOL!!
LMAO
This just goes to prove that these professors are willing to do anything for grant money...lol
Geez...no wonder our country is going broke!
ROTFLOL!! You guys are cracking me up!
Out on Drudge right now. I just called Feinstein’s office and asked for an explanation of this outrage. All I got was shock. They must be upset that they were found out!! DC doesn’t know what in Hades is going on with our tax dollars. Have some fun, call your elected Ruling Class member and ask for an explanation of this pathetic waste of tax dollars.
Believe me I dumped really well on the RNC last night. I think we already talked about this article. LOL
Goodie. That should do it. I tweeted it yesterday. It needs to go viral because the ONE THING the squish-heads hate is to be made the butt of the joke, pardon the near-pun.

Not too long ago in the 2000's we were told a certain African would have a profound effect on the world. We all know how that went.
They just spend, don’t care on what, as long as it’s not the Military’s well being.
Hey Beavis
Yeah..hehheh..heheh
Beavis, your balls are filthy
Just when I think it can’t get much worse, it gets much worse.
OUR freaking tax dollars going to African penises. Well, practically all foreign aid goes to the same or their equivalents anyway.
I’ve seen articles on FR from Africans who are not crazy/leftist/thugs pleading - “No more foreign aid! PLease! It goes to dictators and makes things worse, and makes people lazy!”
ping without comment...I’m speechless.
How many African penises does $800,000 clean anyway?
Why are we funding genital washing when circumcision would clearly give us more “bang” for our buck? Let’s take it one step further. Let’s just castrate. That would not only wipe out AIDS, but probably stop world hunger AND global warming.... I mean, if we’re going to spend the money, let’s do it right.
Was that insensitive?
Silvie! Dudess! For those pervs who got the $800,000 of our money, it wouldn’t be as much fun.
Personally I would prefer that they wash their junk before sex. Wheres the study money for that?
