She said she was clean! I swear!
he should get his hands off that damn dirty ape!
This should clear things up for some of you:
This is TOTALLY the first thing that came to mind when I saw this picture!!! I jumped into the comments page to see if anyone mentioned it, and you went a few steps further!
Flight of the Conhords WIN WIN WIN!!!! :-p
thats awkward
THis photo caption is very offensive, especially to those of us who are living with HIV. I would appreciate it if this picture were taken down.
Please explain in detail why this caption is offensive. Personally, I think you need to get a sense of humor or STFU.
nice one
Stop infringing upon drrylan’s first amendment rights, drews. Remember: you certainly have the right to be offended. But the rest of us have the right to not give a damn.
Can I steal this answer, rshudson82?
It is exactly what a colleague of mine needs to be answered….
this
I agree that this is offensive. Roflrazzi seems to be trying to make itself relevant these days with the Howard Stern method. Notice the sort of trolls it has attracted lately. Bleh.
nice one!!
Sorry to burst your bubble, but this is the Internet and you’re a random Internet user.
If it offends you; leave. It’ll make you feel better and those of us who actually have a sense of humor able to enjoy what we came here for: laughs about random picture captions.
nice one!!!
So, let me get this straight. You came to a site that is specifically designed to poke a bit of fun at people, and you get offended at this? Um…welcome to an online community.
nice one!!!!
Nice One!
nice one!
And every caption that involves the word “cancer” is going to offend every cancer patient/survivor, in the world?
Life is boring without offense. This is a funny lol. I’d be more prone to be behind you (not in that sense, of course, with the HIV and all) if you were a monkey. Monkey’s have a right to be offended, not you.
>>I’d be more prone to be behind you (not in that sense, of course, with the HIV and all)<<
Omg.. trying SO hard not to laugh right now. Must, remain, decent, person! XD
Well there IS a running theory that HIV entered the human population via monkeys, as our strain is… either related to or the same strain as that found in monkeys. But it kills humans because, simply put, it is ill-adapted to our species (a properly adapted virus keeps its host alive to continue to feed off it).
However, the theory proposes that it had something to do with the butchering of bushmeat and someone with an open cut on their hand. In spite of this, in any anthropology class when they first tell you HIV came from monkeys (since it is most known as an STD in spite of other methods of transmission) inevitably at least 60% of the class will assume somebody had “relations” with a monkey, until they are corrected with the rest of the explanation.
I would assume that this classroom occurence, not HIV itself, is what this picture is making fun of.
Actually, no, this is a shot from the unreleased: Planet Of The Apes: The Silence Of Dr. Zaius. After this scene he kills her and eats her liver with fava beans. There wasn’t any chianti.
Not, of course, that this mattered, since Lector didn’t drink Chianti in the novel.
Here here!
As someone living with HIV, I find this hilarious and not at all offensive.
exactly – it’s not like “eeeewwww AIDSy,” it’s more like “yay, fun monkey disease!”
ROTFL
I wonder how many people get that.
You WIN.
But HIV is a sexually transmitted disease which has it’s origin in an ape STD, probably transmitted through interspecies exchange of bodily fluids.
After that, (wo)man could pass it on to (wo)man. Just because you had sex with someone with HIV (or that your mother had HIV) doesn’t mean you’ve had sex with a monkey which isn’t of your species. It just means that sometime over 100 years ago, somebody did.
Sensitivity fail.
As a fellow hi-5′er, I gotta say, get a sense of humor! If you can’t laff at the crap life throws at you, you might as well just be dead.
he did freaky stuff with the monkey ?:O
Agreed this posting is offensive. I’m offended I didn’t find the picture first and caption is as such.
I can’t imagine why this would be offensive even if you have HIV.
To me it looks like it’s making fun of the idea that Humans got HIV/AIDS from doing the naughty with monkeys which is widely believed.
http://www.cdc.gov/hiv/resources/qa/qa3.htm
Nothing about the CDC link is consistent with the idea of a human and a monkey doing the nasty. Just hunters exposed to infected blood.
Wtf?
Thank you, I’m glad I’m not the only one here who knows how to read.
Yes, the facts are infected blood, but if you ever take a course on medical anthropology, this usually comes up, and it is usually led with merely the fact that HIV came from monkeys, and given that there is usually a portion of college students that go there to drink instead of learn, there are always a few people going “duuuude who slept with a monkey?” before the prof can finish his or her sentence.
I’ve heard it came from hunters infected with blood, but I’ve also heard that it came from people eating undercooked primate meat. Either way, it came from blood, not love juice.
I found the humor in the photo-but NOT in the fact that “drews” has HIV! Criminey people-you shouldn’t LOL at someone for having a horrible disease! Have a heart.
Indeed, this is a highly offensive caption, perpetuating the false idea that HIV is easily transmited through a kiss or saliva…
The ease, or lack thereof, of transmitting HIV through a kiss or saliva, has nothing to do with the fact that it can be done. If they were making a statement about 100 infected people kissing 100 non-infected people and now you have 200 infected people, yes that would be something relevant and statistically unlikely to happen regarding HIV spreading through saliva exchange.
How is it perpetuating that?
In my experience people don’t usually kiss naked unless something else has either just gone on or is about to.
Unless you happen to be Mr. Heston or a monkey, how in the world is this offensive? Unless of course you are so racist you think the caption is saying HIV comes from black people, then yes, that would be offensive.
youre right. you would have to be extremely racist to come up with that one.
wow you couldnt be any farther off topic, could you? people say it originated from monkeys. get your facts straight. then comment
Leo’s comment comes from the hurtful racial sterotype that black people are no better than apes, not that black people are cause of AIDS.
This site has done better. This caption isn’t funny… it’s ignorant. And to lol at someone having HIV? Good gods, what’s wrong with you?!?!
Leo – Black? Erm… I take it that you haven’t seen Planet of the Apes.
I don’t see how it’s ignorant. It seems we did get HIV from monkeys (eating them, not having sex with them as a previous poster said), but HIV can also be spread by having sex. So this caption takes things a couple steps farther.
Also, I think Leo was saying that you could only find this offensive if you mistook the ape for a black person–which a lot of people like to do, and then cry racism when none was ever intended.
Explaining jokes sucks…
This is also offensive to women who loved Charlton Heston as well as people with AIDS. I captioned this to read, “The script says I’m supposed to say he’s ugly. That shows I can act.”.
What gives you the right to say that shirtless men like to kiss monkeys??? Tasteless, and offensive.
This one is AWESOME! Laughed out loud for real for the first time in months. The head of the NRA …
“You’ll have to pry her from my cold dead hand ..”
I blame this guy for a lot of stuff.
oh honestly, how can this be offensive? it´s not saying that it came from gay people, or that people with it are dirty… it´s a commentary on where it actually came from. calm down.
I don’t know about offensive; I’m just pretty much in favor of anything that makes fun of Charlton Heston.
thank you.
Seriously. No need to go Ape about it!
I’m with the not funny.
Especially as some one who has lost close friends to AIDS.
Not funny at all.
You think you’re the only one to shed a tear? Being in my mid-40′s I only have 2 friends left alive after AIDS…. TWO out of over 30… And my friends would have been the first ones to laugh at this… Holy Cow! ANYTHING that makes people THINK about HIV/AIDS and how it is spread is a good thing!
STFU
It’s very funny if you don’t like it go away and spank your monkey instead of kissing them.
Blame Charlton Heston he is the one who did it.
Honestly, there’s nothing wrong with commenting that you don’t find it funny or you find it offensive (next time, explain why though). There is something wrong when you think it should be taken down. Should only things you find funny be posted? Why is your sense of humor more important than mine?
Vote it down, make your comment and move on.
It is clearly offensive because it suggests that American men likes the apes, and also therefore that all spouses of American men are apes and also that all of them must have HIV which we all know really comes from standing up while having sex which is NAUGHTY and also it’s offensive because it is just …
TOOOOO SOOOOOOOOON!
Meh. :p
HAHA!!! I swear I laughed for about an hour at this. Why are people offended? It’s funny… I’m gonna hang it up at work
It’s not making fun of people who have HIV, it’s making fun of the fact that this guy is kissing an ape.
Not funny.
Ignorant, however, is certainly applicable.
AIDS, is in no way related to sex with monkeys.
And yes, The popular theory is that AIDS is transmitted from ape to human via copulation with monkeys. There is no proof of this fact, and if there was, maybe this might be funny, in a sick way…
There is a theory that AIDS was transmitted froma a monkey to a native via cutting meat to eat, or something similar to that, but there is no definitive proof of where it is derived.
AIDS is a very similar strain to EBOLA and is from the same region, but again there is no proof of where the virus originated.
Sooooooooo…
this would be funny if it had been derivative off of fact, not of popularized theories. Hah-f*cking -hah, funny man. Try again.
It’s Laugh Out Loud…not BooHoo “I’m offended”!! Love it or leave it. People are here to laugh….we can go elsewhere to read and listen to “WHINING”.
This is a scene from the Planet of the Apes, and is in no way shape or form how HIV transfered to people. HIV was transfered to people in Africa first of all! I was a black african! and they were eating the ape not having sex with it!
stupid, offensive, dangerous
