Dude, never take a trip around sexually-transmitted diseases if you want to get laid

Am I the only one that doesn't see this as a bad thing?

I agree. I'm not sure I understand how this is a fail for anyone other than subby.

They wanted to become more aware of the effects of AIDS in Africa and for that they are failures! LOL! Oops, I gotta go, another episode of Popular Reality Show is about to come on! K, bye!

I'm sure she'd love him just the same if he was stone broke.

What a trolltastic headline.

She looks an awful lot like a short, elderly black man in that photo.

What is it with you heterosexual men, you're always marrying women the same age as your children. Digusting perverts.

Old women are fat and ugly, and nobody likes them. Is this really that hard to understand?

I'm not trying to sound cold, but I don't see why you have to go witness the AIDS problem in Africa when it's a combination of lack of education, social unwillingness to use a condom, superstition, and more to know why it's such a problem there.

 
Bo Giggity 2009-07-02 12:42:14 PM  
Africa to get a first-hand look at the AIDS crisis? Why not D.C., Atlanta, St.Louis, Philly, Baltimore, Detroit, Richmond, Cleveland, Cinci,...

 
Yanks_RSJ 2009-07-02 12:47:04 PM  
I'm surprised he didn't spend the whole honeymoon Twittering about the Yankees.

I am not sure your kind belongs on the Sports Tab. ShowBiz is a couple of doors to the right.

guess he's not going to get to stick it in her pooper on the honeymoon now.

/got nothing

Well, I hear he's a steel-drivin' man, so maybe that's part of it?

yeah i know

Odds are seeing that kind of thing all day won't get her in the mood to enjoy a honeymoon properly, but whatever floats your boat.

We've all seen John Henry, its not like she was going to be raring for a triple X throwdown with Powder anyways...

 
TomServo24 2009-07-02 01:40:04 PM  
The other two men in that photo look like John Henry 10 years ago and 30 years ago, during Henry's hippie phase in the 70's. Also, what exactly is a "South African wine importer" doing in the fight against AIDS?

 
toonz 2009-07-02 01:47:23 PM  
I'm going to Africa for my honeymoon, but I just want to look at monkeys and big cats and stuff.

hey now. marriage is a sacred institution between a man and a sweet piece of ass until it starts sagging, Back off!

John Henry marries a woman half his age. Eventually he'll be replaced by a machine.

THIS. John Henry looks like a bull dyke, seriously.

I don't think even the most rabid Fark Yankees FanTM would argue that John Henry has been a failure as a Red Sox owner, dumbass.

Memo: the /obscure tag is best used only ironically.

I even add a disclaimer, just in case.

yeah.
i'm betting most people would much rather be YOU than him (and his championship rings and millions)

and it's okay if you like boys but in the hetero world, getting a woman is a win for most men.

...the more you know.

 
cefm 2009-07-02 02:44:47 PM  
Dude, major faux-pas.

NEVER bring you wife with you on a sex-tourism trip.

You guys sure are protective of this guy.

Came here to say the same thing. It's amazing how attractive a guy can be when he's sitting on a very thick wallet. No, I'm sure it's true lurv and the photo shoot wasn't part of a nice piece of PR.

Has little to do with that. He's a businessman. I'd expect him to throw a Sox fire sale in a heartbeat if it made sense business-wise. . I just thought it was a dumb comment. If someone had said the same thing about George Steinbrenner in 2002 the response should be about the same.

Besides, wtf am i supposed to do, throw the guy who ended an 86 year championship drought and followed up with another one a couple years later under the bus?

 
Jamdug! 2009-07-02 04:04:47 PM  
I'm pretty sure the opposite of win is lose and fail is succeed.

/just sayin'

Damn right, he and his partners brought two WS wins in 4 years after 86 years without one to Boston...why shouldn't we be fans of him?

"Ground Zero. 200 babies are born with HIV infection each day in South Africa."

/forget the fact that they are simply testing positive based on having their mom's antibodies, and will test negative within 2 years.... we need that funding so its okay to inflate (lie about) the numbers.

HIV does not break thru the barrier of the placenta.

True. Transplacental infection is rare, but infection during childbirth or from breastfeeding is still a major concern.
