OK, this video ad is definitely NSFW, which is why I am not embedding it here. The link is to a German advertisement to raise awareness about AIDS. The ad pictures a woman (quite explicitly I may add) in the buff and then having a hot and steamy sexual encounter with a faceless gentleman who turns out to be Hitler. (I know, I know-it could happen to anyone.)
I used my new trusty Mac Translator widget to translate the German text underneath the ad into English:
The gist of it was something like this: The Rainbow association, together with the advertising agency a clear message for AIDS awareness day: "AIDS is a mass murderer" is the new slogan. On display are the greatest mass murderers of recent history during sex."
While AIDS is a "mass murderer", that doesn't mean I necessarily want to see someone having sex with Hitler or that seeing someone have sex with Hitler will encourage me to practice safer sex. Hitler = Use a Condom. Strangely, that doesn't work for me, but then again I am not in the demographic they are targeting because I am not German.
According to the Guardian from the UK, the ad is already receiving bad press due to the stigma that AIDS victims may already feel and due to the fact that prevention methods aren't mentioned. The ad will show in German theaters and on German television after 9:00pm.
