Roger Short has resurrected an old method of birth control and through an unseen PR machine made it among the top stories on Yahoo today.

But what I found interesting, amidst all the talk of Yahoo's switch from the old search system to a new one, is that the news story had a link to to HIV websites. And at the top of the list, basically, to use an old newspaper term "Above the fold", all results are "Sponsor Matches" which come from Overture (formerly goto.com). And the top one says this:

"Colloidal Silver Is a Mineral Supplement - Read testimonials by HIV+ people who claim amazing benefits of colloidal silver.

If you've been following my blog, you will know what I think of those Colloidal Silver "remedies. It may make your skin turn blue permanently, like that politician who made it to Yahoo's Most Popular page in a most unpleasant way for himself.
