"So... Um, yeah. Do you have the AIDS?"

Is Pedro's life's work all for naught? Have we not learned about the unprotected sex and the harm it can cause?

Remember back in November 1991, when Magic announced he had the HIV and he'd have to retire? Remember how that spurred the Ol' Man's old man stopping him in the kitchen to have a li'l chat?

OM'sOM: So. Have we ever talked abou--
OMS: I had health class. I know abou--
OM'sOM: Good. Good. You just need to know that sometimes girls want things. And you need to be careful.
OMS: NOT FROM ME THEY DON'T. TRUST ME. I'VE BEEN TRYING. AIN'T NO HO GETTIN' UP IN THIS BIDNESS RIGHT HERE. HAVE YOU SEEN THE MAN T*TS?

OK. The Ol' Man said the above lines in his head. What he said in actuality was something like, "Cool. Can we go shoot hoops now?"

Kids, be careful. Sometimes girls want things.

Last thing.

One of OMS's readers rightly complained that there were no Heroez and Not So Much with the Heroez on Friday. Well, when we read the link to RW:3 in San Fran, we were astonished that the overview for the season made such little mention of Pedro's plight with HIV, and what it meant for a generation of Real Worldaholics.

So kudos to MTV for completely forgetting the real reason why the show used to be a little more real. Looking back, San Fran was really about the romance and the lovable, or not so lovable HA HA HA OMG LOL, Puck.

Great job, MTV. Not So Much with the Heroez, indeed. And your awards shows (yes, plural) suck. Old Man Snap refuse to live in this house, as long as Puck is around.
