AIDS Memorial Sculpture is Not Well “Received”

Looks like a chocolate starfish.

What better imagery is there for an AIDS Memorial than a pooper?

  1. I had AIDS patients that weren’t, as far as I know, rump rangers. They weren’t so good at checking the blood supply early on.

    That shit ain’t no joke, neither. The opportunistic infections presented a different challenge every time, and some of them were pretty brutal.

  2. Can’t blame this on an artist. This is not art. If a person with no skills, aptitude, or experience can duplicate something like this, it is not art. A monument to cranial damage from drugs maybe.

    A couple years ago the wife and I drove from our home here in NorCal to the Phoenix area. We ended up spending the night in Palm Springs. Checked into a hotel around 9:00 PM and then went in search of someplace to get dinner. I spotted what looked to be a good place to eat. As we get closer the wife stops in her tracks and says, there’s not one woman in that place. Yikes. It was like that all over. we finally found a little Mex joint that had couples in it. We passed several store fronts with leather bondage equipment. That place is smoken gay. I’ll bet the men out number the women about 50 to 1 in that town. To bad. Pretty place.

  4. @SNS and it will happen again as far as the blood supply goes since gays can now donate.
    In the beginning my neighbor volunteered to feed AIDS patients at Metro Hospital in Cleveland. The nurses were afraid of getting infected simply by helping a patient eat.

    …the very first time I went to Detroit was with a bunch of guys from various area K-Mart stores in the region (back when they were HUGE) because we were all from (pre-Penske) Auto Centers and at the time they had centralized training in brakes and suspensions there. The company put us up in this incredible hotel on Eight Mile (WAY before Eminem made it famous) with jimmy marks on every door and visits from every branch of Law Enforcement every night, and only the fact we were a bunch of guys together and the fact we looked as poor as you’d expect young K-Mart employees to look kept us from being robbed.

    But being young, stupid males out on a toot in a strange city, we had to go out looking for trouble, and we thought we had it near at hand. There waz this pub across the street with some bland Irisish name, Paddy O’Shanes or sonething, and shamrock motif that seemed like as good a place to pregame a good drunk, so we went in.

    Being young guys, we were also looking for chicks.

    Which was oddly not easy there.

    “Guys, there’s no women here”.

    “Of COURSE there’s chicks! Just not at the bar!”

    “Hey, there’s one! Look, they’re kissing!”

    “Uhhh, that’s not a chick. Neither one of them is.”

    …we left very quickly after that, decamping to a place called the “Zoo”, probably because of the girls dancing in cages, but that’s a different story for another day…

    Anyway, while I realize that AIDS and HIV are hazardous, deadly even, to all humans, it could be safely assumed that it is statistically a disease that concerns the homosexual crowd the most. But yet we’re told it’s not a gay disease. Then why is it that the vast majority of the couples depicted in the HIV/AIDS drug commercials are predominately homosexual? Sam Kinison has got to be laughing his ass off about now.
