Feds Spent $800,000 of Economic Stimulus on African Genital-Washing Program
CNS News ^ | September 13, 2010

________________________ ________________________ _


The National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH), a division of the National Institutes of Health (NIH), spent $823,200 of economic stimulus funds in 2009 on a study by a UCLA research team to teach uncircumcised African men how to wash their genitals after having sex. The genitalia-washing program is part of a larger $12-million UCLA study examining how to better encourage Africans to undergo voluntary HIV testing and counseling – however, only the penis-washing study received money from the 2009 economic stimulus law. The washing portion of the study is set to end in 2011...

Because AIDS researchers have been unsuccessful in convincing most adult African men to undergo circumcision, the UCLA study proposes to determine whether researchers can develop an after-sex genitalia-washing regimen that they can then convince uncircumcised African men to follow...

The study’s lead investigator Dr. Thomas J. Coates was the fourth highest-funded researcher in the country in 2002 and is currently conducting HIV research on three continents. CNSNews.com asked both Coates and NIMH the following question: “The Census Bureau says the median household income in the United States is $52,000. How would you explain to the average American mom and dad -- who make $52,000 per year -- that taxing them to pay for this grant was justified?”

Coates, who was unavailable for comment, directed CNSNews.com to ask grant-related questions of his assistant, Darya Freedman, who did not respond. The NIMH also declined to respond to CNSNews.com’s question.

Your tax dollars at work. 

And you idiots wonder why UE is still going up?

How does this help the American economy?

It doesnt - its more money down the rat hole.

But oh blasphemy if someone ever calls for cutting govt.

Because the dirty African penis epidemic is the main reason our economy is in the toilet...everyone knows this.

If we can get Africans to wash their genitals and if we can make Muslims feel good about their contribution to the space program and if we can convince the rest of the world that we're truly sorry we exist, then we'll be on the road to a full recovery. Come on, you know this!

[BM OUT]

Whats amazing is the idea that Africans would WANT to clean their genitals.They are filthy "human beings" and live like animals.They still carry stuff across streams on their burry heads.Its only Europeans and Americans that live like humans ans even Europeans are suspect as they seem like soap and deaderant and razor blades[check out those chics arm pits] is some new invention they never heard of.

[The Showstoppa]

I wash mine once in awhile....maybe I'm eligible for some of that gov-ment money.

[240 is Back]

My balls get seriously foul at time, and we have clean water here.

I can't imagine washing them with some foul ass water.

I'll donate $5 myself... those balls deserve some compassion.

[Dos Equis]

If this wasn't such an insane waste of my money, I would be rolling on the floor laughing.

[George Whorewell]

Rumor has it that Straw volunteered to travel to Africa on his own dime to set up a genital washing station for men where he would wash any African males genitalia for tips.

I suppose that technically counts as a job. Although the only "stimulus" being felt here would have nothing to do with the American economy.

Hey Georgie Girl - you seem more cranky than usual today.

Did you get your period or are you just angry that your application for the genital washing job was denied because you're a registered sex offender?

Hey moron, you supported the Stim Bill remember?  How smart does that make you?  Or are you too stupid to realize the idiocy of 99% of your beliefs?

I remember saying it was not big enough and had too much bullshit and not enough real stimulus

I don't suppose you remember with all that rage bouncing around in your head

Yeah, I guess if we only had a few more ball washing programs everything would be fine in the economy by now. 

[Soul Crusher]

Bump for Straw - is it your opinion that if only we had more penis washing stations that the stim Bill would have worked?

Balls are a distant memory for me.I havent seen mine since about 1988.The good thing about atrophied balls is your cock looks bigger.

[tonymctones]

I dont remember you saying one thing before the stimulus was passed about the programs within it straw...

not my fault you can't remember

go back and look if you'd like

I said it was not big enough, had too many bullshit program, too many worthless tax cuts, etc..

we all know that our government funds all kinds of programs that sound weird (and many are just friggin weird) and this is nothing new

[Fury]

Yes, clearly we didn't spend enough on the stimulus. Another $800 billion on top of the first $800 billion would've fixed everything.

LOL i dont remember b/c you didnt do it   

LMAO I agree the govt has some weird spending but when that spending is supposed to get the american economy going and its spent in this way then then something doesnt add up. That is unless you think that this program somehow stimulates the US economy?
