It's a scene from, you guessed it, The Wire.  It's VERY telling while being hilarious at the same time, a rare sliver of joy in this fantastic show.  It's opening for Season 5, the final season...but it tells nothing of plot.  It shows how fucked up it is at the bottom...damn kid has been in the hood his whole life...he can't even tell what the friggin copy machine is.  BUT how Bunk (the first guy you see) and the others play it on him is awesome.

Then it plays the opening credits for the show.  At 4:30, it runs through a flurry of photos.  They are all people on the show who have died in previous seasons.  It gave me CHILLS...haven't seen it in a bit! 

Oi, I need to stop posting when I get home from acting class and my brain is still pouring out my ears...

A nice little comic off of Halolz. This is why Street Fighter owns.

Awesome article KebreI. A small percentage of caucasians have that mutation presumably because the CCR5 receptor also provides protection against the black plague bacterium Yersinia pestis. Their ancestors must have survived the plague and thus natural selection amplified the mutation from a vanishingly small number of individuals into 1-3% of the population, which is substantial. That patient is very lucky.  Both leukemia and two strains of HIV are in remission. I hope he doesn't blow it and get infected again from unprotected sex or intravenous drug use. Which is probably how he got infected with two strains in the first place.

I think before I die I will see a gene therapy cure for AIDS, and substantial progress in using various types of therapy (including gene therapy) to target and cure most types of cancer. The next century will see a massive technological revolution in medicine.

I showed this picture to my friends and they laughed their arses off.
Yeah, when I was a little kid, I always mistook "shoryuken" for something like "howyouken".

I always thought Ryu said I do Ken! instead of hadoken!

I just thought it was "ALL YOU CAN!"

Sounds like a pretty badass translation error too.

There's other stuff like that in SFII, like Guile's "Rice barrel!" comment.

That is definitely topic worthy. A lot of people miss the stuff in this thread. I overlook it a lot. So does that mean that hiv is cured?

As the description says:
"Statistically speaking, there's at least one person on Earth who's a fan of Eminem and Benny Hill and Doctor Who. This video is for that freak."

I have a hunch we have several of those freaks here.

I surprisingly am not a fan of any of those people. I haven't watched Doctor Who tho.

I have mixed feelings about this.  On the one hand, one of the most disastrous diseases of the last century sees the biggest breakthrough for finding a cure.  On the other hand, this may very well lead to even less protective measures that (if people already used) would have already seen the spread of aids dwindle.

It's sad to read in that article that more people got infected by HIV than died from it in 2007.  No, beyond sad...  It's actually frightening.
