Series of ads depicting Hitler having sex - Germany

AIDS awareness campaign on German TV

Pages: 1 2

There's a new advert coming out showing a couple having sex. The guy's face is blurred out until the end when the viewer discovers that it's Hitler.

The tagline is "AIDS is a mass murderer" and the ad's timed to coincide with World AIDS Day on December 1st. Suggestive posters of Saddam Hussein and Stalin will follow, but Hitler's the only one in the TV ads.

Thoughts?

Thanks llees. I'm going to have nightmares for weeks. Ugh.... get out of my head!!

EDIT: Also, how did Hitler get a good looking chick, and WHY does she seem so happy about having sex with him??

Well they say all publicity is bad publicity but I can't see this one doing anything but causing a huge storm an people missing the message.

You would need all of Mt. Rushmore in the U.S. to symbolize the systematic murder of the Native Americans. Of course it's meant to shock, and of course some of the denser members of the populace won't get it. Great campaign.

Come on.. After all he's (was) the Füher. I'm sure he could pull any chick he wanted.
WHY does she seem so happy about having sex with him
Perhaps she's a slapper, and hasn't turned around yet to see who it is..

I think it is just as tasteless as this banned 9/11 commercial:

I think it's not a bad idea; it certainly grabs your attention for a worthwhile message, however not so well thought through; HIV/AIDS doesn't discriminate whereas Hitler was fairly picky about who he wanted to get rid of.

Yeah, that WWF ad is just totally in bad taste.

What I am not looking forward to, controversy or not: seductive posters of Stalin and Hussein??? Barf.

Well, as bad as 9/11 was, I think it is pertinent to point out that there are far graver threads to a lot of poor people and that It would be good if some poeple would spent the money and energy they spent hunting some attention seeking muslim youth cat and mouse around the world killing hundreds of thousands on the way on actually helping them.

That's a very good point. You'd think that the German ad makers would have thought of that.

The campaign was organised by German Aids awareness group Regenbogen e.V.

My entire family, other than me, has stomach flu. After seeing that link, I’ve suddenly got nausea, and I think I’m going to vomit.

I´m currently thinking what this ad wants to say. All AIDS-infected people are mass murderers like Hitler???
Chrisimo
The ad says: 'AIDS is a mass murderer'.

isn't it a bit sexist? Also seem to imply that only men can pass on HIV
Steven192
Yeah but left on its own it wouldn't be able to kill anybody.

So all AIDS victims are helping a mass murderer then? Nuremberg here we come?
