Some jackass named Timothy Wyeni in the parliament of Swaziland (South Africa) suggested branding HIV positive PEOPLE on the ass, so potential partners could check first to see if they might catch AIDS.  Are you f'ing kidding me?  Branding them with a hot iron? Hell, even a tattoo is just wrong.

I don't know, maybe it's because I still think that people should have basic rights, or maybe it's because I think people are typically better than animals.  Then again, maybe it's because I think that cattle-izing people seems like a better idea to them than, I don't know, say, CONDOMS.

Another article details many of the short comings of AIDS treatment and awareness in South Africa, but the long and short of it is that it just hasn't been taken seriously, and maybe part of that is because these a-holes are spending too much time pretending to care and not enough time developing solutions.
