Unprotected Sex and Hit Whores

First off, we are not hit whores, slotting in the word sex to get hits on this blog.

Now that we got that off our chest, let us get on with the business of business. It's World AIDS Day this December 1 - well we should actually remember it every day rather than just one day but what-the-heck - other days are crammed with other events anyway.

Was quite disturbed to get an email from the World Health Organisation warning that the HIV/AIDS situation will further worsen unless efforts are stepped up to stop the virus from spreading.

The email went further to say:-

"The number of people living with HIV continues to grow," warned Dr Shigeru Omi, WHO Regional Director for the Western Pacific. "High-risk behaviour, such as injecting drug use, unprotected paid sex and unprotected sex between men, is especially evident in the HIV epidemics in some regions, including Asia."

In 2006, an estimated 8.6 million people were living with HIV in Asia, 960 000 of whom were infected in the past year, WHO said. An estimated 650 000 people were living with HIV at the close of 2005. In Viet Nam, the number of people living with HIV has doubled since 2000 and reached an estimated260 000 people in 2005. In Papua New Guinea, the number of HIV/AIDS cases has dramatically increased, with HIV prevalence rates among the adult population in excess of 1% since 2003.


I remember the very first few AIDS patients who died in Malaysia. They were all sent to Ward 23 at the Kuala Lumpur General Hospital, as it was then called. So many precautions were taken to handle the patients before and after they died to prevent the virus from spreading.

Then, cases were few and far in between. That is no longer the situation now. As Charles Cham said in one of his famous t-shirts sold in his The Orangutan House in Malacca, Play Safe. Use Malaysian Rubber!

Well, enough said. Enjoy this public service announcement from the Siber Party of Malaysia (M).

The voice of our times

Surti and Tejo clearly illuminate the cries of a generation raised on the grain of MTV and the internet, fattenned on the wealth of their fathers and weaned off the economic prosperity and jobs they were promised. It's a generation which expects to get what it wants and will sulk and cry when this does not happen. They'll whine, they'll moan and they'll sure as hell tell the whole fucking world about it.



It does seem however that the whole world is fucking. When media watchdogs post smut, it won't be long before an ADUN does it. Sure, political points against the establishment need to be scored, but a negative of two folks cuddling is still smut when the insinuation of illicit humping is raised. A negative's a negative, and it doesn't take much to fire up the Photoshop (thank you, Uncle Ho !) to reverse the spin.



Are they the alleged parties ? Who cares, other than their respective spouses. We sure don't. But lots of people will be drawn to this. There's a hint of scandal, you see. And who knows, it may keep the momentum of that grand daddy of sex, scandal, politics and murder going for another week or two. We need something to talk about when we're having teh tarik now, don't we ? After all, we know Malaysians are bad conversationalists anyways.

Take a look at The Star Online's most read stories. A story about sex, rape or nudity is always in the top ten. Every. Single. Day. It's like the flip to the sex stories when no one's looking, or when they need a quick wank. Sure enough, this is followed by a hop over to BangBus, MILF Heaven or even Puppy Love.

People talk about sex, it's like they've all taken Salt 'N Pepa's words to effect.

Let's talk about sex for now
To the people at home or in the crowd
It keeps coming up anyhow
Don't decoy, avoid, or make void the topic
Cuz that ain't gonna stop it
Now we talk about sex on the radio and video shows
Many will know anything goes
Let's tell it how it is, and how it could be
How it was, and of course, how it should be
Those who think it's dirty have a choice
Pick up the needle, press pause, or turn the radio off
Will that stop us, Pep? I doubt it
All right then, come on, Spin

Everyone's talking about sex. Dek Mat talks about sex, and this post is about sex.

We do listen to our grassroots now, you know.

Let's talk about sex, baby
Let's talk about you and me
Let's talk about all the good things
And the bad things that may be
Let's talk about sex
Let's talk about sex
Let's talk about sex
Let's talk about sex

Sex, Smut and Spiritualism

Azan Isyak update: To JAIS here's a basic primer on pornography! And to those who wants to evade JAIS, snog in open, busy public places because JAIS officers only skulk in quiet areas... ;)

Even Jeff Ooi's has smut on his blog. Not once but twice!

Not since the holding hands in klcc saga have we seen the invasion of couple's rights to show public display of affection (clothes not off of course).

Nor since the Zouk KL raid have we seen a controversial religious raid too!

It brings to mind that even if the religious authorities were to use video footages as evidence in court, isn't it necessary for the religious authorities to obtain a court order first?

But lately not only the authorities have gone mighty religious but we also have our fellow brothers and sisters in Muslim Consumer Association of Malaysia PPIM have gone nuts trying to enforce their dietary requirements onto the rest of the nation.

The complaint was about the cross that appears on the delicious Wall's ice cream buiscuit Moo. Despite the food product being certified halaal, apparently eating the cross-like design that appears on the biscuit can throw you off your faith or aqeedah because of some new tactic Christian mind warfare.

Maybe they think that the Christians have developed some new kind of nerve gas that is placed in the cross that will make you want to convert like Lina Joy.

Maybe not...

Speaking of coonversions I read in yesterday's Star about Kamariah Ali. This was the statement from the Judge Mohammad Abdullah:

“Based on the facts provided by officer Wan Mohamad Wan Yaakob, the court found that the accused was still a Muslim when she declared apostasy at Besut Lower Syariah Court on July 21, 2005”
Doh! How can the court find one is not an apostaste when one has made a court declaration that she is an apostate?

But I digress. Coming back to the diet-zealous Muslims, I have no problem if they don't want to buy the product for what ever reason, but don't force it on me please. Thank you.

I have also heard from the brother network that some people are trying to ban mathematics because of the addition symbol, send a protest note to the Queen of England because the St George's cross does not represent the Muslim population in England and making a complain to JKR that all crossroads to be turned into rounadbouts or be called 4-way junction.

I don't think they will stop there. I have already heard rumours about certain religious quarters wanting to ban the turkey from setting shores to Malaysia for Christmas and thus depriving many and myself included the merry festivities of eating and drinking associated with that holiday season.

Oh well. If you want to have all these headache-making-idiotic news not appear in Malaysia, vote for us!

With that we will leave you with more sex, flesh (the halaal kind too) and spiritualism! Enjoy the clip!
