When AMC’s Breaking Bad premiered in 2008, one of Alabama’s most successful meth cooks was already knee deep in building a massive meth empire. His name? Walter White.

“This is my contribution to the Durex and MTV ‘Staying Alive’ #SomeoneLikeMe campaign for World Aids Day 2013. On a lighter note, I never thought I’d see the day where I would work ‘post-expose prophylaxis’ into a Miley Cyrus song.

From what I can gather, they’re rarely seen here and seemed to be gathered almost entirely in front of a hotel – the only lit up part of the beach. Maybe some of your readers can help shed some light (sorry…) as to why?
More to follow.
