This is the stangest rumor of the week. Accoridng to a radio station in Minneapolis Magic Johnson "faked" having Aids to become famous. How ridiculous is this – it was not as if Magic was not famous at the time and who would fake they had aids/HIV. Give me a break it seems a little strange to fake aids/HIV to get out of a contract. Anyway the radio station is cleaning up the mess left by the two moronic DJs who theorized on-air that Magic Johnson has been faking being HIV positive. Not funny!
"According to a partial transcript and audio clip posted on a media watchdog site, mediamatters.org, the remarks came after a caller complained about demands on workers. Perry responded by asking about treatable diseases that a person can live with for a long time "if you just get some basic drugs."
Baker responded, "Like Magic Johnson?"
Perry replied, "Like Magic with his faked AIDS. Magic faked AIDS."
Baker said, "You think Magic faked AIDS for sympathy?"
Perry replied, "I’m convinced that Magic faked AIDS."
"Me too," Baker said.
KTLK the radio station has released a statement to TMZ saying, "KTLK recognizes the seriousness of the health issues presented by HIV / AIDS — and the great work that Magic Johnson has done … We regret that some off-hand remarks by commentators on KTLK did not reflect that. To better inform our listeners and employees, KTLK will be airing HIV/AIDS awareness public service announcements, and will be reaching out to Mr. Johnson to get his thoughts on education efforts." I wonder if there is a law suit in the radio station’s future? These employees should be fired!
