This is like the third or fourth story I’ve done about herpes this month. From the Chris Brown/Rihanna rumors to the beer pong epidemic on college campuses its starting to look like Herpes has replaced AIDS as the new “designer” STD to have and share with your friends. In this story a Riverside County jury has awarded a woman SEVEN MILLION DOLLARS after being infected by a man who apparently knew he had Herpes and did nothing to tell her or protect himself. While I can admit that giving someone ‘The Herp’ definitely warrants an ass kicking and in most normal situations I’d agree with a hefty financial sum. After all, giving someone herpes is like giving someone diamonds…it’s the gift that lives forever. However, in this case, I think there’s some stupidity on both sides. First off, the man is 77 years old and the woman is 56. What the hell is she doing sleeping with a man 21 years older than her. I mean, I might be able to have a little understanding if she was 21 and he was 42…but at 77 this man has to be downing some Viagra or Enzyte or some other “natural male enhancement” drug. So right now my “Gold Digger” alarm is going off. The second problem I have with this story is that both these morons were having sex without condoms. At 77 and 56…these fools knew better. Sure, the man is definitely wrong for knowingly being infected and still having unprotected sex. However, one of the best ways this woman could have protected herself would have been to make sure she wasn’t having unprotected sex herself. See, unprotected sex is a mutual agreement. Both parties in essence sign a waiver that says “We’re going to play Russian Roulette with our genitals. Let’s hope we don’t catch anything or get ‘preggers’”. At 56, this bitch knew better…I’m sorry. It’s not like we’re just finding out that unprotected sex can be hazardous to your health. They have after school specials about it. Hell, she’s old enough that they were probably showing those Sex Education videos in her school that said she could catch AIDS from kissing and get pregnant from cuddling.
Once again this is yet another example of someone doing something incredibly retarded and getting rewarded for it. When are we going to stop this?
