Missed Call

I got a call on my mobile from an unknown number. It went to voicemail, and all I got was a young man's voice in mid conversation. He was saying:

"HIV Positive - it's a play on words, but it's just a bad saying. It's about saying that we're not going to be sucked into the stigma that's associated with having HIV or Aids. Radical. Are you serious? You're talking shit Joe. You're talking absolute shit. No I won't hear you out. It's not logical. Because the time when you're most at risk of contracting HIV Aids is in the first two weeks of infection. And you become less infectious as time goes on. And you can be given drugs to reduce the infectiousness as well. Well there's an infesction risk for anyone. The risk applies to us all the time. Millions of people - 10 million people. It's not logically. You can't look at everything with your weird pragmatic pathologic slash fascist mind. It doesn't work all right, it doesn't work. No, you're wrong."

Viral marketing campaign? Accidental bum dial? Who knows. Funny though.
