News Bits number 1

I often read, hear or see news stories that are quite interesting and I feel I would like to share - so I came up with my new series News Bits. Here goes the fist one.

HIV Compound

I'm sure, unless you've been a recluse for the past thirty years (in that case how are you even reading this? I didn't think they had a signal way out there in the middle of nowhere) you've heard of the Human Immunodeficiency Virus or the syndrome it causes, HIV and AIDS. Well there has been a breakthrough in a compound they have been experimenting with that shows very promising results.


The study, published in the journal Nature, shows it could actually function as a vaccine even with people already infected! They have actually been working on this for more than a decade now, it takes the experimental protein and actively blocks the virus from enter the cells, infecting them.

The test the researchers have conducted have been on four monkeys and all four have repelled the virus for almost a year despite numerous attempts to infect them. This makes them confident the project can move forward into human testing rather quickly. First to see if it can, in a sense, cure people already infected or at least treat them in some way. Then move to testing it on people with high risk of contracting the virus to see if it can be prevented. Fingers crossed!

90's Comback

No, no I don't mean "talk to the hand." I am referring to a company that was huge in the 90's, JNCO. Yes, you read that right, JNCO is making a comeback. It would be germane to the subject to reveal that I actually still own a a pair or two of these pants.

They are huge jean pants with equally enormous leg openings and usually a graphic on the back pocket. Mine are a flaming skull and a flaming phoenix, don't judge. Yes, thanks to a Chinese investor, the Las Vegas company will relaunch sometime soon. They even have a new website to show they are "fo' rizzle."

A "Happy Ending"

About two weeks ago a girl was all over the news for masturbating in Oregon State University library and posting it on Pornhub. She was charged and is now facing a fine of over six thousand dollars or a year in jail. But don't feel sorry for her just yet, out of the entire ordeal she signed a contract with Penthouse to do a four page spread in the magazine. Not just that, she also signed with Penthouse's parent company, FriendFinder Networks, to make a website dedicated to her "solo works." It would no longer be in public, but she would be flown to exotic locals to film.

If the deal comes through she stands to make six figures. Any financial reprimand she may receive from the courts is already vowed to be paid for by a Canadian dating website. So all in all, there is a great lesson to be learned here to all young aspiring girls: if you don't mind being objectified, just masturbate in a public place and good things will come, but make sure you're good looking 'cause we all know this wouldn't have happened if she wasn't pleasant to look at.
