Man Robs Cupcake Store With Syringeful of HIV-Positive Blood!

It's hard to really put one's finger on the precise moment a trend dies or comes alive . Or perhaps, when someone robs a cupcake store in Denver by waving around a syringe filled with HIV-positive blood?


The incident in question happened last Thursday morning at Gigi's Cupcakes in Denver. A man entered the store, grabbed a worker by the arm and quickly "forced her into a corner," said her co-worker.

"He showed her the syringe. It was uncapped and (he said) it was full of his own AIDS blood. He said he was going to inject her if she didn't open the register."

The man eventually made off with $300. No one was hurt — except for the cupcake, which is now well and truly dead as a doornail. (P.S. Avoid the red velvets. They have a funny aftertaste.)
First, somebody at Gawker continues to demonstrate MAD stock photo searching skills.

Second, the problem with removing your own blood to use it as a weapon is it significantly reduces the amount of crimes you can commit per day.
