I have genital herpes!

I can't help it.  I laugh out loud.

I realize that when one is just getting into acting, he/she has to take the jobs they can get, but imagine the look on good old mom and dad's faces when you sit down with them and pop the tape/disc in.  "Here is my big debut!"

"I have genital herpes."

"And I don't."

"And we want to keep it that way."

Oh, the smiles, the joy, the tears.  They must be so proud!  "Our son just smiled and told the world he has genital herpes!  We have been waiting for this moment our entire lives!"

I know, that is silly to say, but honestly, I just don't see myself jumping to pick up that job.  Talk about typecasting.  "He look, it's that guy with that one STD.  Which one does he have now?"  "Hmmm, let's give him the clap this time."  "No, no, how about crabs?"  "Ooh, I like it."

Thanks to those prescription drug companies, now at least we know how to prevent the disease we got from our last lay getting spread to our current.  Yipee! 

I realize I don't have much of substance to say on the subject, but every time I see those types of commercials it just flabbers my gast that people choose to be in them.  And I couldn't resist using the title I went with.
