Britney's Kitty Kat and Herpes Meds

· 🌡️ 27°F

Britney Spears - 4 years ago every guy my age (and older!) wanted to have sex with her. Now there is nothing left to the imagination, we know that she is trashy and at this point the only way I could possibly have sex with her is to concentrate on the money. Does Britney Spears still qualify as MILF? Money I'd Like to Fuck.

I am watching the Science Channel and I just saw an ad for genital herpes medication. Commercials during the day are far more colorful. Of course, every medicine nowadays has several different caveats they have to throw in to avoid lawsuits. Today's took me by surprise - they suggest that the medicine makes it possible to lower the chance that you would pass genital herpes on to your partner..... BUT! *Tested for heterosexuals only.* I'm not exactly sure about what the purpose is of putting this in there and I'm not exactly sure about whether or not this should be considered offensive. You all know that I'm the LAST person around here to be too P.C. or to worry about what is offensive and what isn't. Is this caveat put in there just in case some gay couples try the medicine and it doesn't work, since they didn't test it for gay couples? Is this supposed to suggest that the medicine doesn't work for gay couples at all? That last thought it what gets to me... it is this permutation that I think is ridiculous. Is it possible that if a gay couple tried it and it didn't work, that they would sue over it? How is this any different than if a hetero couple tried it and it didn't work?

"Well, Mr. Larson, the difference is that we only did a study conducted with heterosexual couples."

I find it impossible that a company dumping a figure with 8 or more 0's behind it into development of a herpes drug that they couldn't spend a little more time to test it on different types of couples. Doing their homework would basically eliminate the need for lawyers to insist on CYA mode when you make the damn commercial.

I hate lawyers and I don't know why I considered law school.

    Maybe if gays weren't considered "second class american citizens" by our government, they would have had to include them in the study.

    I agree with what you're getting at.

    the funny thing is that gays are much more likely to get herpes, so you'd think the drug company would want to bank on that.

    Also, imagine the big stink people would make if it said "*tested for white Americans only"

    but i agree, you get sexually transmitted diseases from someones diseased cooch (front cooch or back cooch, same difference), you don't get diseases from a gay's cooch or a straight's.

    Wow.... what a ridiculous thing for them to say.... I assume what they mean is "tested on penis-vagina transmission only"- but if that's the case, then say that! Don't put home/heterosexuality judgments on it.

    LAME.

    Actually, @joshua and @matthew, the herpes meds are more anti-men than they are anti-gay from what I've heard: Most of the meds are designed to prevent/lessen the effects of herpes on women's reproductive organs.

    That's why you usually see women in the herpes meds' advertising.

    And @jenks I think you are probably right. but in that case, "tested on penis-vagina transmission only" would be more accurate.

    From what I remember about sex, even heterosexual couples have been known to engage in oral and anal sex.

    exactly my point uncut. :)

    I just looked it up- condoms only reduce transmission by 60%, and 70% of new infections are from asymptomatic people. Scary.

    Just wanted to mention one thing (assuming this law hasn't changed in NY State in the last few years). There are two kinds of drug adds the ones that say the medication name and then ask your doctor if it is right for you. On those adds they never say what the medicine does they are getting the name brand out. The reason for that is if you say what the Drug does then you in the same add must list every side effect even if it only happens verry rarely it still must be mentioned.
