Do you find this ad offensive?

The poster part of the ad campaign (in case anyone hasn't seen it yet)

No, but then I dont have AIDS/HIV

No, but at the same time I think some of it's critics make a fair point, such as the lack of corresponding information.

No, but I am not Jewish nor am I HIV positive

I don't care.

Hitler is hot, I don't care what anyone says, and he certainly does not have AIDs or HIV.

Okay, so they're saying that AIDs is a mass murderer. Okay, I get it. I don't think it's the best thing to say, but it catches attention and freaks people out. But I don't think it does it in the right way. Offensive? Not to me, but I don't really blame people for being upset either.

I don't find it offensive, but I also don't think it would be particularly effective. I think it's reasonable for them to think that some people watching it would connect Hitler to the people with AIDS, rather than to the disease itself.

How can I say? Was there a link to view it?

It seems like an odd association to be making, doesn't really fit. But, I guess it got them a lot of attention, so maybe it worked?

Here's a link to the ad/video:

I didn't see an ad, only a vague description of one.

Offensive? No. A crapty way to get the message out? Yes.

Hawt.

NOOOOOOOOO!

Well, I've not seen it, so...

Ok, thanks for the link, Bill.
I like the campaign we have here (or did recently) with people wearing belts and knickers and such that have the names of STDs written on as part of the design. I can't find it on youtube. But it's funny, and effective, and not scary.
What I don't like about this is how all the responsibility is placed on the man. But I get the point.

Trashy.

Fudge no. That's what they want you to do.
