Oops...there's something I need to tell you...

(Originally posted 06/03/2011)

So, I downtown taking care of some business on my free time, and I happen to come across this poster halfway hanging from the side of a building.  It had an interesting look to it, and hey, I've got time to kill, so I go to check it out....

 Of course, I think this is just another one of the billions of the have safe sex posters, signage, and notifications that we are bombarded with on a daily basis.  But...look closely...and then check out the site...its just proof that the Internet can and is used for EVERYTHING - including anonymously notifying one of your many flings you may have left them with a little gift! (Notice the fine print:  This is from a friend at inSpot: the STD Internet Notification Service for Partners or Tricks).  Hehehehehe.

inSpot.org provides two free services:  1) locate a center near you where you can be tested for HIV or other STD's, and 2) notify someone you may have infected anonymously via E-mail with a cute little e-Card.
Great idea for three reasons.  1) if I'm puttin my junk somewhere it shouldn't be goin, then I wanna be able to find a quick and easy way to get tested to make sure I didn't take away more than I bargained for.  2) if I put my junk somewhere and left  behind more than they bargained for (even if I didn't mean too), I wanna be able to tell them WITHOUT THEM KNOWING IT WAS ME!  And 3) If your junk gave my junk cooties, you better hope to the gods that I don't get my hands on you-so this anonymous little card may be the only thing that saves your life!

Now, seriously, #1 and #2 is not something I worry about.  My junk is picky where it goes and who it plays with, and I have a doc that can check up on these things for me if anything out of the ordinary pops up (no pun intended).  When my junk plays with someone elses junk, I generally know that person well enough not to worry about getting cooties. But I think that if I were to open my e-Mail one day, and find something like the following:

 I would probably have a heart attack.  First off, I can guarantee you I will know who it is from.  And secondly, those cutesy little faces are not going to make life any better-thank you very much for the attempt to soften the blow (pun intended).  Of course, I would take care of business, get tested, get treated, and being to plan my revenge.

While I think this is awesome that there is something out there like this, I am thinking: seriously!!  WTF!  Basically, it allows one to tell someone else if they gave them something they probably don't want, but it also allows one to not take responsibility!  I guess at least notifying them is something, but, still...think about it.

There are some basic rules when it comes to puttin out:

1. Keep it in your pants.
2. If you ignore rule one, then COVER IT UP when you use it.
3. If you ignore rules one and two, then if you get something, or give something, then at least have the BALLS TO TELL THEM TO THEIR FACE!!  After all, you were looking them in the face (or maybe the back of their head) when you gave it to them!

Seriously, inSpot - kudos to you!  While I think the cards are a little cheesy (go check em out...some are actually a riot), thank you for putting something out there that people might actually use to spread something besides the bugs they carry on their Mr. Winkys or their cooters.  There is one serious setback to this service, tho.  There are some out there who don't keep track of so much as the names of the people they shag.  Or have so many, they couldn't keep track if they tried. Sad, sad, sad.

Play.  But play safe.

Just sayin.
