Stimulus Bill Allocates $335 Mil to STD Prevention

Posted by Colleen Kane

 

The Drudge Report, uh, reports that the Economic Stimulus Bill has $335 million set aside for STD education and prevention programs through the Centers for Disease Control, and it's "buried on page 147 of the bill."

According to Drudge, nearly $700K of such funds have previously been used to support events called "Booty Call" and "Great Sex."

What, exactly, is getting stimulated here? Don't tell us, especially if STDs are involved.

Well if it's on the Drudge Report it must be true.

More power to 'em for increasing STD prevention funding.
