AIDS doesn’t care what age, religion, race or gender you are, whether you are famous, beautiful, or seemingly indestructible. Thousands of new cases of HIV are still being diagnosed each year. Spread over the world population, it’s a lot easier to find someone with the AIDS virus than you might think. This banner aims to show that it could happen to you if you aren’t protecting yourself. 1 in 157 people on the planet have the AIDS virus.Viewropa has created this banner that demonstrates the lottery effect of the indiscriminating AIDS virus. Every 157 times a page with the banner script is viewed, the AIDS banner appears. You could be the one to see it.
Det här är första gången jag hört talas om Viewropa och när jag klickade mig runt lite blev jag intresserad. Det är en gruppblogg, startad av MetaFiltermedlemmar, och de första inläggen postades för en månad sedan. Ur reglerna:
Our number one rule is this: be on-topic. Our topic is Europe, and whatever you post must have a connection to Europe. If the relevance isn’t immediately obvious, you’ll have to explain it. We have a mechanism for extended posts, called ”more inside” [MI], so if you have a lot to say but don’t want to clutter the front page, or the link with Europe isn’t immediately obvious, please use it. It is extremely likely that an off-topic post will be removed; it’s likely that off-topic comments will prompt moderators to step in.
och:
Posts should contain largely European subject matter. Generally, posts will be about events involving European people, or taking place in European countries. However, posts about people and places beyond Europe are perfectly acceptable so long as their implications for Europe are clear.
All posts should contain a link to an external source. The link should be to a site of interest and have Eurocentric content (in one way or another). Duplicate links should only be posted if the content of the site in question has changed significantly.
Your post should be engaging. Remember, the idea of Viewropa is to foster intelligent discussion. That said, your post shouldn’t be outwardly hostile. Its purpose shouldn’t be to cause an argument. Don’t be afraid to provide additional thoughts and commentary to your post, but try do so without hostility.
Helst skulle jag kasta mig över Viewropa på en gång, men mitt bättre jag påminner mig om att det är första december i morgon, och att vår lilla adventskalender då ska digna under 48 kärleksfullt inslagna paket.
Vän av ordning undrar kanske om jag smugit in aidsbannern här på sidan. Tyvärr inte, det blev html-error i Blogger, och jag ids inte trixa. Men ni vet ju vad som gäller. Kärlek och omslagspapper.
