Shock jocks sometimes take it too far, but we guess that’s their job. However, one thing is sending people to have sex in a church like Opie and Anthony or Piolin supporting Beverly Hills Chihuahua. It’s completely another for the DJs on Minnesota-based The Chris Baker Show to claim that one of the greatest basketball players in the history of the game [Ed Note: if not the greatest… suck it Michael] Magic Johnson has been living a lie for the past 17 years and doesn’t have AIDS. Seriously, just because he’s become one of the most successful businessmen in the country and currently looks like he inhales triple cheeseburgers like he did triple-doubles back in the day doesn’t mean a thing. End of story. Nothing to see here. Vamoose!

“What about diseases that are eminently treatable and you can live with for a long, long time quite healthily if you just get some basic drugs?” Baker interjected, “like Magic Johnson,” to which Perry replied, “Like Magic with his faked AIDS.” After Baker asked, “You think Magic faked AIDS for sympathy?” Perry stated, “I’m convinced that Magic faked AIDS.” Baker replied, “Yeah, me too.” Perry added: “It falls apart when you get into motivation. I’m not sure why, but I’m pretty sure he faked AIDS. … Cause he’s the only cured AIDS guy ever.”

For Magic, much respect for not sending a hitman out to get these guys, but just releasing a statement…

“Millions are dying from HIV/AIDS, and the fact that they would make jokes about my status is unbelievable,” Johnson said. “Chris, Langdon and KTLK should use their power in a more positive light by encouraging people to get tested for this disease instead of making up such ridiculous lies.”

Damn, right Magic. Now, could you pass me that hambone. I think there’s still a little bit of meat on the end over there.
