I was talking to my 15 year old nephew about the good ol' days of the NBA, and when I mentioned the name "Magic Johnson" he started laughing and said "There was a guy running around with that nickname? Was he a part time pornstar?" I told him "No. he was basketball player and he got aids". (smh.com.au)

You know, I'm 26 and I've said, heard, read the name Magic Johnson hundreds if not thousands of times. This is the first time I thought his name to mean mystical penis...

I had the same epiphany with Randy Johnson a few months ago.

He is HIV positive, but did not get AIDS... looks like he DOES have a Magic Johnson after all!

(honest question here)

Very expensive drugs, iirc.

How can a 15 year old not know who Magic is? He probably doesn't know anything about the NBA.

What's NBA? Is that short for NAMBLA?

I sure hope not, you know what they say about the size of a black man. Think about the children.

He has HIV not AIDS.

I think he meant to say "he was basketball player and he got aides".
