Oh no!

I'm so tired of seeing Hitler, Saddam Hussein and Stalin in all these prints.

It feels so done and boring.

I would probably feel very offended I was an HIV positive. I believe the theory of not tabooing AIDS because then the infected ones will not tell. Better tell and be precocious than having someone afraid of telling and not protecting himself.

Like the art direction though and good photoshop work!

good point. though i think also people with HIV would agree having unprotected sex would make them real assholes. but this concept says YOU have to protect yourself from these bastards.

btw: are there no mass murdering women?

I´m just tired of Hitler-ads... And I definetely agree with Signe_S. it makes HIV positive infected people look very bad and mean.
face Illustrations are bad as well. girls are hot though, but that doesnt make it any better, sorry.

All what I see in these ads is not about AIDS. They are saying: "sex is a mass murderer". But why?

Agree with Arkadiusz, this ad is messaging about sex NOT AIDS because by having sex you'll not be infected by AIDS if you are aware about precautions. By the way good photoshop work.

Absolutely scandalous and outrageous. Do HIV seropositive people will like this f**** ad ? I don't think so.....

The art direction is so bad I would think it's a college work.

This ad must be banned.

oh boy....How drunk were these guys when they came up with this.?

Yeah, this would be very offensive to people living with HIV. The campaign is implying that the infected person is like Stalin, Hitler and Saddam. Terrible idea. I can't believe they let this go to print.

Using Hitler in an argument automatically makes you lose.
Using Hitler in an ad makes you FAIL.

It is effective in making people think. Will you put your condom on, or think twice before you do it next time.

Furthermore I wanted to add that not all germans have such a bad humour ok!? :'D
