Just when I thought my faith in humans couldn't get any less...

Could you please cascade as quickly as possible as this came through our NHS web page:

For your information, a couple of weeks ago, in the Odeon cinema, Festival Park, a person sat on something sharp in one of the seats. When she stood up to see what it was, a needle was found poking through the seat with an attached note saying, "you have been infected with HIV".

The Centres for Disease Control in Birmingham, reports similar events have taken place in several other cities recently.

ALL of the needles tested HAVE been found positive for HIV. The CDC also reports that needles have been found in the coin return areas of pay phones and coke machines. Everyone is asked to use extreme caution when confronted with these types of situations. All public chairs should be thoroughly but safely inspected prior to any use. A thorough visual inspection is considered the bare minimum. Further more, they ask that everyone notify their family members and friends of the potential dangers, as well.

The previous information was sent from Hanley police station to all of the local councils in the Staffs area and was interdepartmentally dispersed. We were all asked to pass this to as many people as possible.

The hoax also mentions that the message "was sent from hanley police station". Hanley is a town in Staffordshire, England. However, the Staffordshire Police have denied the claims in an official website article. The article states that they have received no reports about a visitor to a cinema being injured by a needle left on the seat. According to a Stoke-on-Trent Police spokesman quoted in the article:

"We have received no such reports, and we believe that this e-mail has been written to cause fear and alarm to members of the public. I urge members of the public not to send this e-mail on to others and to simply delete it. We have made contact with the organisations mentioned in the e-mail and none are aware of any such incident."

"The important news first — this isn't happening. In the seven years we've been tracking this legend since its first appearance, no AIDS-laden needle attacks on moviegoers have been reported in Bombay, Hawaii, Dallas, Paris, or anywhere else in the world. We know of only two related incidents, neither of which has proved to involve any deliberate intent to infect an innocent victim with HIV: A Louisiana man sat on a needle in a theater in Baton Rouge in December, 1996, and sued the facility over the incident, but there was no note welcoming him to the world of AIDS or any indication of his contracting any infection. An October 2005 case from Athens, Georgia, in which a woman sat upon a deliberately-placed needle in a darkened theater there (a syringe had been duct taped to the seat), there has been no determination that it actually contained blood, much less HIV. "



urban legend, lolz

Come here, Byrche. I have something id like to stick you with. :eek2:

While this is sick, and I'm glad it's a hoax, it's very hard to contract HIV through a needle that's been exposed to oxygen, just to let you know.

So Pudie, you're going to have to come up with a better way to do it.

Air tight glass enlosure. When you sit on it, it breaks and you get a needle in the ass.

That's :byrche:'s favorite fruit. Every autumn he gathers up all his trick or treats and painstakingly rubs them up and down his arms.

Then he adds another entry to his EMOetry journal and cries himself to sleep smelling like apples.

Glad it's a hoax....like Progesterex.
