Tattslotto results on Auntie...some remote places only had Channel 2, I'm guessing.

Thumbs up just for the theme.

How come the ABC was promoting "Tattslotto" bullshit?

ABC News after Los Angeles 1984 and before Crocodrile Dundee movie in 1986.

I'm only interested in the first 10-15 seconds.

I would assume that by late 1984, the ABC finally transitioned from film to ENG, right?

@cdgh99 At the time this broadcast was made, it wasn't known that AIDS could be spread by heterosexuals. There was also incredible panic and ignorance towards AIDS, where people thought that you could contract the disease by sharing drinking glasses, swimming in public pools etc. So the paranoia in this news report stems from how little was known at the time, and shows just how much attitudes have changed.

Los Angeles 1984 be like

@derfuhrer881 i dont disagree with you that gay sex can spread std's but so can straight sex. I was just shocked that people back in 1984 thought that making people say weather they were gay or not at a blood bank was an effective way of protecting the public from HIV.

This is still being done in Canada.

Glad times have changed or at least changing. Just hard to believe that signing a form when giving blood was suppose to protect people. However i still think that you have to sign that form

@derfuhrer881 so what is your point, so what if gay sex has higher risk of std transmission?

@cdgh99 Drown them.
