Those Silly AIDS Melons

This juicy little nugget (pun intended) comes to us from our "allies" in the Saudi Kingdom:

that have been spreading via SMS about the entry of millions of HIV-infected yellow melons into Saudi Arabia through its northern border.

A Saudi Health Ministry source said that the message was totally false, and added, "HIV cannot be transmitted in food or drinks."

I think I've found a new nominee for my little award:

Here is what a handful of random people think about this article. But first, the fine print:
The opinions expressed here, even where approved for display, do not necessarily reflect the opinions of this website, the management, or any other entity or organization, with the exception of the Vast Zionist Conspiracy. Those opinions we represent in style, yo. Please keep the language in these comments clean, as this is intended to be a family-friendly, work-friendly website. Comments not compliant with this policy will be edited for content where necessary. Abusive or otherwise illegal comments will be reported to the proper authorities, up to and including the aforementioned Vast Zionist Conspiracy. The Management cannot and will not be held responsible for commenters making a spectacle of themselves, even if The Management are the said commenters in question. In other words, don't take yourself so seriously, folks. We're all here to discuss the news, and more importantly, to have fun. Now go get yourself into some OCD treatment program—you obviously need it if you actually read all of this mess.

This is what happens when you have a poorly educated - and very isolated from knowledge - populace.

*I'm honestly surprised it took this long to get urban legends going on SMS/Text.
