The Catholic Church is telling people in countries stricken by Aids not to use condoms because they have tiny holes in them through which the HIV virus can pass - potentially exposing thousands of people to risk.

The church is making the claims across four continents despite a widespread scientific consensus that condoms are impermeable to the HIV virus.

It doesn't quite beat Robert Mugabe, brutal president of Zimbabwe, who has created in his country an institutional denial of the viral cause of AIDS, and recommends olive oil and goat's milk as a cure. 1 in 4 adults in Zimbabwe are infected with HIV.

Good thing it's America's job to invade countries with brutal dictators and give people freedom!

Um, Zimbabwe has lots of oil reserves, right?

It's a dirty job.

I don't think he's evil, just insane.

Of course, I could be wrong.
