Lightning-quick blogger Allan Hough of Mission Mission spotted this odd bit of AIDS cure awareness, or lack thereof. Namely, the new Tim Lincecum HIV/AIDS awareness PSAs on BART trains. The copy reads, "Until there’s a cure, Tim Lincecum throws strikes."

Basically, it means "Let's not cure AIDS"? Oops.

A better slogan, Hough notes, might've been “Until there’s a cure, Tim Lincecum sits on the bench.”

That being said, kudos to Lincecum for adding his celebrity status to such a worthy cause.
