London, England (The Adobo Chronicles) – Just in time for World AIDS Day, a new social media campaign has been launched in London aimed at ending the stigma for those living with HIV /AIDS.
The campaign, projected to eclipse the phenomenal ALS “Ice Bucket Challenge” last summer, encourages people to reveal a personal secret on social media as a way to encourage those with HIV to come out and not be ashamed of their status.
The campaign has no less than Prince Harry as its celebrity spokesperson, taping a video message that revealed his one long-kept secret and encouraging others to reveal their own secrets.
In his taped message, Prince Harry revealed his secret – that he is not gay.
What is YOUR secret? Post it on social media with the hashtag:
Wasilla, Alaska (Exclusive to The Adobo Chronicles) – Many will remember Sarah Palin’s controversial comments during a speech last year, declaring that “the nation’s high levels of debt, including money borrowed from China, was “like slavery.” While she prefaced her comments by saying “this isn’t racist,” many of her critics still believe that it actually was.
Her remarks were sharply criticized by television host Martin Bashir who cited the diaries of a former plantation overseer who punished slaves by having someone defecate in their mouth or urinate on their face. He suggested the former Alaska governor deserved the same treatment. Bashir subsequentlly apologized and resigned from his post at MSNBC.m
A couple of weeks ago, Palin posted a photograph of her and three African American ladies to her Twitter Account, with the following comment:
“Proof I am not racist. See, I’ve got black friends too — three of them, in fact!”
The ladies were, in fact, representatives of MAC (the cosmetic store) at the Pecanland Mall in Monroe, Louisiana. None of them have ever met Palin before.
Palin was in Louisiana campaigning for Republican Bill Cassidy (R-Baton Rouge) who is currently in a heated senate runoff against Senator Mary Landrieu, D-LA. The runoff will take place on December 6.
Apparently, Palin left her cosmetic bag on the plane and had to stop by the Mall for some last-minute make-up with the assistance of the MAC ladies. She thanked the ladies for “helping out with a travel emergency.”
