Not even Don Imus would be this stupid, would he? Magic Johnson certainly hopes not.
Minneapolis talk radio hosts Chris Baker and Langdon Perry of KLTK-FM, recently specualted that the former Lakers great “faked” having HIV/AIDS. Says he faked it for sympathy.
Perry said that he was “convinced that Magic faked AIDS. … I’m not sure why, but I’m pretty sure he faked AIDS … Cause he’s the only cured AIDS guy ever.
Johnson soon learned about the comments and issued a statement;
“I am extremely disappointed in KTLK in Minneapolis. I am outraged that Chris Baker and Langdon Perry would minimize such a serious and deadly issue. Millions are dying from HIV/AIDS and the fact that they would make jokes about my status is unbelievable,” Johnson said. “Chris, Langdon and KTLK should use their power in a more positive light by encouraging people to get tested for this disease instead of making up such ridiculous lies.”
And some people think Vic the Brick is outrageou
