Hilarious.  About time he got his comeuppance.

You think he deserved AIDS and it's hilarious. He was a dick. He was stupid. But that's no reason to wish a disease like AIDS on someone.

Hell even someone as slimy as Trump I wish a healthy life. ;)

I'm just glad karma still exists for someone who got a free ride for so long.  He had what, 30 years of drugs and sex like there was no tomorrow?

He has HIV, not AIDS.  Big difference.  He could go on the drug cocktail (or clean up his lifestyle which is more unlikely) and not develop AIDS.

Jeez man, do you also rejoice when a Santa falls down the stairs? I WANTED TO BELIEVE IN SOMETHING MAGICAL!

I wouldn't say he deserved it, but I'm not going to lose any sleep over a guy who's snorted a couple tons of coke, and probably banged a few thousand hookers in the last couple of decades.

It would almost be more shocking if he didn't have HIV.

It's the lifestyle that he chose.  He lived hard, and had a great run.  Plus now apparently you can live with AIDs for decades now if you can afford the treatments.  The only drawbacks will be it will be harder to share needles and the quality of women that will sleep with him, will likely go down.

I feel a lot more empathy for the hundreds of women that have probably slept with him since he's had it.

It didn't really leave any impression on me at all.

I reacted to it the way I might react to news that an NFL player had blown out his knee.

Now when Magic Johnson announced that he had HIV, THAT was a huge shock and it was very unsettling.
