Breaking News: Dalai Lama Did Not Give You AIDS

Gawker caught this short-lived story and correction which appeared in the Columbia Spectator.  Both the article and the correction have been yanked from the site but Gawker captured the correction which reads:

CORRECTION: This submission misstates that one Dalai Lama admitted to having sex with hundreds of men and women while knowing that he had AIDS. Additionally, the submission misstates that many monks participated in the dismemberment of female bodies. In fact, there is no factual evidence to substantiate either of these claims. Spectator regrets the error.

As Gawker correctly points out, seeing how AIDS is something that came about in the 1980’s and the current Dalai Lama has been in his role since 1950 it doesn’t take a lot of detective work to figure out which one.

So, I think it bears repeating in case you were concerned, the Dalai Lama did not have sex with hundreds of men and women while knowing that he had AIDS.  No need to rush to the clinic for a checkup.
