I didn't notice he was writing a different girls name each time until I re-watched it. Nice if you don't miss that detail.

I was waiting for a body in that locker. It would have been a great "stalker awareness" spot...

the association of gays with aids could be offensive to homosexuals. other than that, this was pretty forgettable.

You are rong mate, this ad was chosen by Portuguese gay and lesbian organization for the best ad of the year.

Btw. I don't see how can be offensive to gay people, your comment should be more offensive that this video that don't have anything to be offensive.

AIDS don't "choose", ages, sex or sexual orientation.

like a few others have said, you don't really notice him writing other girl's names. in which case, the takeaway could be he's gay so he better watch out for aids. there could also be a cultural element where gays in some countries would be more sensitive than those in others. i'd be surprised if some in the states wouldn't get upset. but who knows.

Gays have aids. Lesbians have aids. Heterosexuals have aids. Treelovers have aids.

It's interesting that you'd find reason for people to take offence at this yet spout off your hate speech at any given opportunity.

Doin' it for the points

it's interesting that you follow me like a lost puppy. i really do think there must be some trauma in your past. abuse by your father. or uncle. or perhaps you were just picked on as a kid. is that it? you miss the abuse and you want me to keep kicking you in the ribs? ok. but it's getting a little sad and pathetic. just so you know.

I didn't notice he was writing d names of different girls each time, until I went over it 2ce again. Would be nice if you don't miss that detail.
Moreover,I was expecting him to see a girl's face in the locker.Y not?

i didnt even realize he was looking at different girls. good idea poorly executed. then again maybe it was the clips quality.
