First World AIDS Day: CBC archive
A short clip from December 1st, 1988, the first World AIDS Day (with a Canadian focus). Also of interest from the CBC archives are two pages of radio and video clips (21 in all) on the early years of the disease.

Also note those wankers at MeFi get all fucking hot and bothered in the thread for piffling reasons, let's not emulate those pedants by shitting in this deserving post, shall we?

Thanks, patita, I appreciate it. I guess I misjudged MeFi, but the beating I got over there threw me. Apparently I have a "sad mental state". Fuck me for posting something I thought was interesting.

Damn, I didn't even realise it was that time of year already. Thanks for posting this, livii.
