On Monday, AIDS officially turns twenty-five years of age.*

I don't imagine that many mugs will show up for the party, though. AIDS has gotten a pretty bad rap over the years. Ya get that, y'know, being responsible for the deaths of twenty-five million people, and holding death over the heads of a solid thirty-nine million more and all that. But, you can't deny that it's accomplished a lot in its short life.

As such, this post is a bit of tribute to the phenomenon that is AIDS. Enjoy the following funtastic AIDS-related vids.

Funtastic AIDS vid #1: These hip gangstas have got it. No, not AIDS! It. They’ve got it. (Word.)

Funtastic AIDS vid #2: Dress-up dance video! Wo0t! If the guy on the right of the fairy didn’t keep pushing his hair out of the way, I reckon he would've been doing a fair impersonation of a Riverdancer.

Funtastic AIDS vid #3: Go Team America! Though, if you love it that much, you can search and watch the billions of other videos made of this song to convince yourself that everyone has AIDS. I’m not going to link them though. Just take my word for it. Everyone has AIDS.

Funtastic AIDS vid #4: Everyone loves cardboard box videos. Hey, don’t you just wonder what invisible girl’s leg would look like fried? Coz' I know it's at the top of my list.

Funtastic AIDS vid #5: An immensely handy (and realistic) guide to preventing AIDS. It is true what you heard: a picture says a thousand words.

Funtastic AIDS vid #6: Freddie Mercury contacts the Scottish youth. (So very jealous. I’ve been trying to contact him for years.) I think it’s quite clear that Spielberg would want keep an eye on these clever critters. These scamps could also have a budding future on Eastenders.

Funtastic AIDS vid #7: A nice animated piece promoting awareness. Homophobes, this is not for you. (Or maybe it really, really is...)

Funtastic AIDS vid #8: This is more like a drama or social science project than an English project, I reckon. Teach these high school brats some Shakespeare or something! Get them to read *gasp* a novel. Still, the cannibal guy has some pizzazz.

Near as I can determine, this has absolutely nothing to do with AIDS, but, if anyone can make out what she’s actually saying, apart from 'fuck, shit' et cetera (or knows where the fuck she gets her drugs), please enlighten me.

*The date that medical professionals and sickos choose to celebrate the existence of AIDS is the date it was first diagnosed as such (5th June 1980), but we don't actually know when the stork brought this baby here. We think it was sometime during or around '78 though.
