Comment: Magic Johnson rips KTLK over “faked AIDS” comment
Posted on October 9th, 2008 – 6:10 PM
By Michael Rand
We don’t usually post this late — the evening is reserved for revelry and snacks — but we thought we should pass along a press release we just received from PR folks about comments made yesterday on KTLK, a local radio station, about retired NBA great Magic Johnson. Here is the full release:
Today, in response to an item from Media Matters for America documenting KTLK radio hosts Chris Baker and Langdon Perry agreeing that “Magic faked AIDS,” former basketball star and philanthropist Earvin “Magic” Johnson denounced the comments as callous and insensitive to those suffering from HIV/AIDS.
“I am extremely disappointed in KTLK in Minneapolis. I am outraged that Chris Baker and Langdon Perry would minimize such a serious and deadly issue. Millions are dying from HIV/AIDS and the fact that they would make jokes about my status is unbelievable,” Johnson said. “Chris, Langdon and KTLK should use their power in a more positive light by encouraging people to get tested for this disease instead of making up such ridiculous lies.”
During the October 8 broadcast of KTLK’s The Chris Baker Show, Perry asked: “What about diseases that are eminently treatable and you can live with for a long, long time quite healthily if you just get some basic drugs?” Baker interjected, “like Magic Johnson,” to which Perry replied, “Like Magic with his faked AIDS.” After Baker asked, “You think Magic faked AIDS for sympathy?” Perry stated, “I’m convinced that Magic faked AIDS.” Baker replied, “Yeah, me too.” Perry added: “It falls apart when you get into motivation. I’m not sure why, but I’m pretty sure he faked AIDS. … Cause he’s the only cured AIDS guy ever.”
The transcript and audio are at the above link. Insensitive, unfunny and worthy of ripping. No more needs to be said by us. Perhaps you have some thoughts, though.

Comment: FULTON, N.Y.---- A man was charged Tuesday in the strangling death of his 11-year-old stepsister who was starved by her parents and slept in a locked room inside an upstate NY house filled with garbage and more than 100 cats, police said.
Alan Jones, 27, was indicted on a second-degree murder charge in the death of Erin Maxwell. The girl died Aug. 29, a day after she was found unconscious in her bedroom with a green cord around her neck, one end caught on a nail in a window frame.
Lindsey Maxwell, 35, the girl's father, and Lynn Maxwell, 53, her stepmother, were each charged with six counts of endangering the welfare of a child.
''Erin was being raised in a home with over 100 cats, as well as caged poultry. The home reeked of animal urine. There was animal feces over 18 inches deep in one of the rooms,'' State Police Capt. Mark Lincoln said.
Investigators found that Erin was given ''minimal amounts of food'' and routinely locked every night in a small bedroom. She weighed only 65 pounds, Lincoln said.
Defense attorney Salvatore Lanza said Tuesday his clients maintain their innocence. They earlier had suggested Erin accidentally hanged herself while acting out a scene from her favorite movie, ''Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End.''
''It's their contention that this unfortunate incident is a horribly tragic accident,'' Lanza said.
The Maxwell family had been investigated by social workers three times from 2003 to 2006, according to a report by county social service officials. In each of those times, social workers reported conditions in the home were marginal but found that Erin was in no danger and that they had no lawful reason to remove her from the home.
Second-degree murder carries a maximum penalty of 25 years to life in prison. The endangering charges are misdemeanors punishable by up to a year in jail.
Jones was being held in the Oswego County Jail on $100,000 bail. He is expected in county court Wednesday.

Comment: BY STEFANO ESPOSITO Staff Reporter sesposito@suntimes.com
There's Steve, the Richard Pryor look-alike, who always has a grin on his face and carries a shabby notebook he says is part of a plan to get his GED.
And the man with most of his front teeth missing who never forgets to say, "God bless you!"
Or the lady with the hair that sticks straight up who rarely utters a word to anyone.
Last week, they ate their final meal at the Salvation Army's Tom Seay Center in Uptown, a bustling soup kitchen and shelter that first opened its doors to the needy some 30 years ago.
The building is crumbling --and too expensive to fix --says the Salvation Army, and so the clients must go elsewhere. The regulars here know many of the neighborhood's condo owners, and the folks hoping for a new Target store across the street won't miss them.
"They don't want the homeless people around --we're an eyesore," says a middle-aged woman who identified herself as "Kristy." "But they are probably one paycheck away from being where we are, and then we'll see if they can survive out here."
In the warmer months, Kristy sleeps in the park on flattened cardboard. She "rides the trains" in the winter. She says she lost her job at Wal-Mart two years ago, and then things went south.
Coax a story out of some of the center's clients, the staff there say, and you may well find a highly educated person who lost a spouse or child and simply never recovered from it.
Last week, the day the center closed, the staff served up prime rib and cake. In the noisy, crowded dining room, cook Deborah Crump proudly listed the ingredients she used to marinate the meat.
"The meat is burnt!" shouted a woman a few feet away.
Crump slowly shook her head.
The Salvation Army says its own new mobile units -- as well as other agencies in the neighborhood -- will fill the void left by Tom Seay's closing, but some aren't so sure.
"I completely disagree with that," said Kathleen Ahler, executive director of REST, another Uptown social services agency. Ahler doubts any Uptown agency will be able to step in and provide the 400 to 500 meals daily that Tom Seay offered.
Reggie Bealer, Tom Seay's food service coordinator, pondered the broader concern over the needy and how society should treat them.
"Some people consider this a blight," Bealer said of the center. "But where can we put them? Should we build them underground?"

Comment: A Swedish court has sentenced Chilean tenor Ernesto "Tito" Beltran to two years and six months in prison for raping an 18-year-old nanny and molesting a 7-year-old girl.
The appeals court in Goteborg on Friday upheld a previous rape conviction, but overturned an acquittal in the molestation case.
The 43-year-old singer has also been ordered to pay damages of $15,600 to the girl and $12,300 to the nanny.
The court has ordered the singer be detained immediately.
Beltran, who lives in Sweden, was accused of raping another Swedish celebrity's nanny during a 1999 concert tour.
In the second case, Beltran was accused of molesting a 7-year-old girl six years ago.

Comment: Only thirty-six hours after the biggest victory of his life, Seth Petruzelli was already sweating from the intense heat of public scrutiny.
The 28-year-old Floridian snuffed out Internet brawler-turned-MMA superstar Kevin “Kimbo Slice” Ferguson in 14 clear-cut seconds Saturday during an EliteXC event in Sunrise, Fla., but it was comments Petruzelli made Monday morning on an Orlando radio talk show that had him in hot water.
Asked whether he wanted to avoid Slice’s standup game, Petruzelli insinuated much more than he ever meant to.
“I knew I would do all right, actually, standing up with him, but the promoters kind of hinted to me and they gave me the money to stand and trade with him,” Petruzelli said over the phone to a room full of radio hosts. “They didn’t want me to take him down -- let’s just put it that way. It was worth my while to try to stand up and punch with him.”
The statement -- which Petruzelli said he made hung-over and on little sleep -- implies that EliteXC compensated him to keep the fight away from the mats where the more experienced fighter had a clear advantage over Slice. The inference has raised questions of impropriety for a promotion struggling to keep its head above water. And since Monday, Petruzelli has been zealous in trying to reverse his words.
“It was my own wanting to get the knockout bonus,” he told Sherdog.com Tuesday. “It wasn’t them saying, ‘I don’t want you to take him down, I want you to stand with him and I’m going to give you so much money just to stand.’ It was, ‘We have a knockout bonus. There it is. If you want it, take it.’”
Petruzelli said he was offered the bonus in his locker room after he’d accepted their last-minute offer to step in for a medically suspended Ken Shamrock. The show already underway, Petruzelli was warming up for a light heavyweight preliminary bout with Aaron Rosa when EliteXC reps approached him. Petruzelli refrained from naming the EliteXC officials.
Though his radio interview also seems to imply the fighter adjusted his game plan at the promoter’s behest, Petruzelli contends that EliteXC had no part in his choice of strategy.
“I do really good against traditional boxers at my gym, so I kind of wanted to stand up for the first little bit to feel him out and if it got hectic, I was going to shoot in on him,” said Petruzelli, who’s only other brush with stardom came from a stint on “The Ultimate Fighter 2” in 2005. “The plan from the beginning was to stand up and just play it by ear, see how I feel. If I was getting caught, then I was going to shoot in.”
Jeremy Lappen, Head of Fight Operations, has firmly denied any wrongdoing.
“Obviously we didn’t pay [Petruzelli] to stand,” Lappen told Sherdog.com Monday. “Kimbo had trained for months to fight a guy who’s fighting on the ground. We don’t care if people stand or take people down or what. It doesn’t matter to us. All we want is an exciting fight.”

Comment: October 9, 2008
As ailing Wachovia Corp. waits to see whether it will be acquired by Wells Fargo & Co. or Citigroup Inc. -- possibly with taxpayers paying the tab for hundreds of billions of dollars in bad loans -- some of the company's top brokers are preparing to depart Saturday for an all-expenses-paid cruise of the Greek Isles.
The weeklong trip for up to 75 employees of brokerage A.G. Edwards, which Wachovia acquired last year for nearly $7 billion, will also include spouses and significant others, said Teresa Dougherty, a Wachovia spokeswoman.
"This is one way that we recognize our top financial advisors," she said.
Word of the Wachovia junket follows reports that senior executives of troubled insurance giant AIG attended a $440,000 company retreat last month at Southern California's swanky St. Regis Resort in Monarch Beach just days after being bailed out with $85 billion in taxpayer funds.
A White House spokeswoman Wednesday called the AIG outing "despicable." Yet even as the Bush administration was wagging its finger at AIG, the Federal Reserve was announcing $37.8 billion in additional loans for the company.
Moreover, a spokesman for American International Group said the company was going ahead with plans to host a three-day confab for about 150 insurance brokers at the Ritz-Carlton Resort in Half Moon Bay next week. About 50 AIG employees also will attend.
"This is an annual affair," said AIG's Joe Norton. "It's a key meeting."
Such five-star shindigs have long been a standard practice for the U.S. financial industry. They serve as incentives and rewards for top performers, and as regular get-togethers for senior execs.

Comment: Hey y'all, I'm here...just got back from a negro style break (15 min.= 60 min). The only black college that St. Louis has had their annual homecoming parade and they come down the street of our job. So, of course all the black people that work here were outside dancing & having a good time! My break started off being legit...I was falling asleep at my desk so I figured I'd go take a quick break. So, I went into the lunchroom, heated up my egg roll, and looked at a Vicky's Secret catalogue. Then as I was coming back to my desk, I heard the beating of the DRUMS so I went outside and stayed out there for 'bout 40 min...My sup is cool, she knows that I RARELY take breaks so it's no biggie to her. I love my sup:-)

Comment: Hey y'all, I have been really busy today, and not have a lot of time...but, I saw that y'all were commenting on Sen Obama's safety. Weird, that I opened my eyes this morning, and it was like I got the word to pray for Sen Obama's safety. Then, I got into work, and a co-worker said we need to pray for the Obama family. Something is in the air. Maybe it is just the Holy Spirit telling us to pray because we should do so without ceasing, or perhaps because so many of us are seeing it, it is a foreshadow of what COULD come, but may be thwarted if we pray. So, y'all take a minute right now, and say a prayer for this family. In your own way, say a word. It doesn't take much. But say a word, b/c it keeps coming at us today.

While I understand that I may not have the ability or opportunity to physically prevent someone from doing something to Sen Obama or his family, I have the ability, as do any and all of us, to pray. So maybe I'm misunderstanding your post, but the WHAT WILL YOU DO question is either rhetorical or redundent, b/c I don't have a direct relationship with Sen Obama. So my question back to you is WHY DO YOU ASK IT?

And #3, because he respects the way she gets stuff done around there. I was upset with him last night for the way that he spoke to her.

If they hadn't made it seem like he was actually in 2008 from the get-go, I may have tried to watch the 1st episode.

Comment: The thing about Life on Mars is that I'm trying to figure out how they will bring the two time periods together. I mean obviously the guy got hit my a car and is in a coma. He hears the voices around him from 2008 through tv and radio, but he is actually living in 1975 (I think)... while I saw how he solved a murder per se, I can't see how they are going to make this last for more than a few episodes.

Comment: So the staff is back, and Sen Obama is done. They took a video but Sen Obama is so far away that they may as well been listening to the radio. One lady said security was really tight...purse check and all. They took our secretary's apple...she said they told her it could be used as a weapon.

Comment: Lovely...I guess they said it can be thrown, therefore can be considered a weapon. Dang, injury by apple. The lady was laughing cause she had the nerve to tell the secret service guy that he just wanted her apple so he could eat it because he looked hungry! She is a mess!

Comment: Cool! I am getting ready to leave. 2 of my boys are in the HS marching band and tonight is homecoming. I am especially happy for my baby- this is his first year in high school and he's a drummer. He's been playing them for years but this band thing has him all excited. Not to mention that since he isn't athletic like my middle son- this is his niche. and he looks so good. If you think I am proud.. you're right!

Comment: I'm free! to chat on the F4A. Lovely, he's adjusted well now. The second week he no longer cried. Monday and Tuesday he was acting up at school. Fighting and not listening to the teacher. For some reason, I contributed to the medicine I was giving him. I was giving him prescription medicine for his ear infection and tylenol's cold medicine for his cold. I would give them to him back to back. I started noticing he was acting out. Wednesday, I stopped giving it to him back to back and everything has been good. I'm sure I'm off on my diagnosis. lol

Comment: Tyra Banks is looking to do for the entire country what she's done for the model wannabes on her reality show—minus the cramped quarters, petty arguments and questionable eating habits.
The CW has given the greenlight to Operation Fabulous, the first spinoff series for the fiercest show in prime time, set to be produced by Banks herself.
According to the Hollywood Reporter, the new pilot will essentially expand on one of the most popular elements of Top Model—the model makeover episode—and apply its transformative powers to women across the country.
Top Model mentors Jay and J—as in Manuel and Alexander, for the uninitiated—will partner up to host the show and make pit stops in various towns across the country.
At each stop, they'll have the dubious task of choosing the location's five least-fashionable femmes (sorry, fellas) and give them head-to-toe makeovers by teaching them how to dress, style their hair and apply their makeup with all the confidence of, well, Tyra, hopefully.
While it's the first official spinoff for the series, it's the second ANTM-related project Banks has announced plans for this week.
On Wednesday, the daytime chat host announced plans to launch Modelville, a reality show that will air within The Tyra Show, and that will follow the also-ran catwalkers from seasons past.

Comment: Hello everyone, just chiming in on Saturday. But watch the news and notice how, everytime someone even mentions doing something with the stock market or the banks. The market goes crazy! ! ! ! I honestly believe those in charge don't know what the hell they're doing. I work at Citi and wondered what the hell were they doing even talking to Wachovia about taking them on, even if the gov't backed the deal. Our stock price is damn near in the toilet. Morgan Stanley's stock price was $7.95 a share and tanking. I haven't been on the earth that long, but I can see this is not going to be good for some time to come. When you listen to the president he just comes across as stupid, uninformed and down right lost. I don't think anyone has ever witnessed such extreme highs and lows in the market. I told my son if this dosen't straighten out soon, he's going to be on the corner selling apples for a dollar and I'm going to be standing right next to him selling match sticks for Fifty cents lol. Oh and with regard to Senator McCains/Gov Palins politcial rally's I was watching Larry King and even Larry King had the clip on his show where someone from the crowd shouted out "KILL HIM" when Sarah Palin asked, "Barak Obama What are we going to do with him" And Larry King called McCains supporters on the type of atmosphere that McCains/Palins political rally's are creating in the country. He said, "I can see where this can become a direct threat to Obama's safety" Of course the people on the panel, that support McCain/Palin tried to pooh-pooh the point saying McCain and Palin have no control over every nut case in the crowd, and Larry said, "no but that comment could've been addressed right then and there, don't just leave it hanging in the air like that"
