A thought: If you have herpes, maybe you shouldn't be having sex.

It's wonderful. They come up with these things like, 'I thought I was being careful - really safe.' And after all the faces of particularly normal and beautiful women they say a phrase like Over 70% of people who get herpes got it while their partner was showing no signs or symptoms.

Note that the bold sections of that sentence are faded into and out of the frame, making it really dramatic and emphatic.

Can we think about this for like two seconds - because I promise you that's all it would take to realize. Hmm. I have herpes. I should totally keep sleeping around Congratulations. You're a frickin' genius. =0|

Up next? Soap operas: watching really horrible actors recite even worse lines either in bed or in some cheese-ball "dining room" setting. Oh and don't ever forget the "garden" shots. Those are utterly priceless, littered with the obviously plastic plants and some blue sheet as a backdrop.

Oh yes - and the dream scenes. Because you would totally have a dream in a foggy garden. All the time.

Always.

*sigh* Dear heavens, what is this world coming to.

I put it to you that it is somewhat hard to know one has herpes if you have no signs or symptoms.

You (the person sleeping with them) may not know but the person has herpes ought to know, shouldn't they?

No they don't. They're asymptomatic, how would they?

I took the commercial to mean that the other person doesn't know because they're partner has no symptoms - because they must know if they are medicated for it. Right?

Well, I didn't see the commercial, so I don't know. However, I got the impression that the commercial was warning about herpes and that you should get yourself tested. And that you should remember Brand Z if the results are positive.

Oh no, the commercial was saying if you know you have herpes, you should get this medication because it will help better than that other stuff you use that lets people still get herpes even when you aren't showing symptoms. Lovely :0|
