What effing sick imagination these people have!
European HIV charities condemned a new German AIDS ad featuring Adolf Hilter, Josef Stalin and Saddam Hussein’s lokalikes having sex with naked women. The tag line of the ad is “Aids is a mass murderer” referring to the fact that 30 million people die of AIDS every year.
The controversial advert has caused quite a stir among charity activists who blame the creators for the possible outcome of the campaign that’s already being launched on German TV channels and will run all the way through December 1, World AIDS Day.
One in four people in the UK with HIV doesn’t know he or she has it, so anything that could increase stigmatisation and discourage them from coming forward to be tested isn’t helpful,” said Vicky Sheard from HIV charity The Terrence Higgins Trust.
The agency behind the ad campaign stands on their ground protecting their latest creation and saying the ad was aimed to shake people up, TIME reported.
We asked ourselves what face we could give to the virus, and it couldn’t be a pretty face,” Dirk Silz from the Das Commitee agency said. ”The campaign is designed to shake people up, to bring the topic of AIDS back to centre stage, and to reverse the trend of unprotected sexual intercourse,” he added saying they wanted to “show the ugliness of the illness, not of AIDS victims.”
The ad looks scary and sick to me. What do you think?
