CNN's Anderson Cooper has put
televangelist Pat Robertson on the RidicuList over his recent warning
that people could get AIDS from towels.
“You might get AIDS in Kenya,”
Robertson warned a viewer worried that he might be infected with
Ebola while in Kenya. “The people have AIDS. You got to be
careful, I mean, the towels could have AIDS.”
The warning landed Robertson on
Cooper's RidicuList.
“That's right, the towels could have
AIDS,” Cooper sarcastically told viewers. “Do not even get him
started on the washcloths with Hepatitis C. We're talking bed, bath
and way, way beyond here, people.”
“Just to be clear, if, like Pat
Robertson, you somehow missed all the evidence, all the research, the
depth and breath of all the knowledge garnered about HIV and AIDS
over the past three decades: You cannot get HIV if you share towels.”
“Now if a guy has Cher towels, it's
true he might be gay,” Cooper joked. “Even then though, there's
no guarantee. Some people just love Cher.” (The video is embedded
