So, now Jenny McCarthy is saying that Sheen should have disclosed his HIV+ status to her before she appeared on his show. I guess she would have gotten a vaccine or something…

But the fact he was being blackmailed suggests that he was honest with his partners. I’m inclined to give him the benefit of the doubt rather than damning him out of hand without a shred of evidence.

I endorse the pitting because of the sheepskin condoms.

_vomit_

(They STINK, for anyone who hasn’t had the pleasure of using them, at least the Trojan ones do. How do I know? Latex allergy from way the hell back, developed because of universal hospital employee glove-wearing in the mid-80s.)
