As late 2014, there were changes that allowed gay and bisexual men to donate their blood if they had sex within the past three months. To quote the NHS website; "Using protection like a condom can reduce this risk, but it doesn't eliminate it. [...] That is why we can't collect blood from men who have had oral or anal sex with men, with or without protection, in the last 3 months. This isn't meant to be discriminatory. It's not based on anyone's sexual history or sexuality. It reflects statistical risks for the sexual behaviour that increases the risk of virus transmission."

This page has a number of amazedly harsh comments, such as this quote talking about Ice Ice Baby by Vanilla Ice; A Houston Press critic named it as the worst song ever to emanate from the state of Texas, and said that it "set back the cause of white people in hip-hop a decade". Damn. The page also talks about a bootleg album called " Elvis' Greatest Shit " (charming), an album that is an "album consisting largely of outtakes and a selection of Elvis' movie soundtrack songs of the 1960s, which was deliberately made to highlight the worst of his career". The album is so classy, the album cover even has a real photo of Elvis in an open casket, like fuck.
