Forums - General - German Ad Suggests Hitler Causes AIDS

 Germans are nothing if not freaks about sex, and a new AIDS-awareness campaign is seeking to cause every rational human on earth to stare in silent disbelief at its graphic depiction of a woman having sex with Hitler. 

The new campaign, which features a video that wouldn't really get to air on North American television due to the fact it looks kind of like artsy porno, features a woman going to town with a dude. The dude, at the very last moment, lifts his head and looks at the camera. And right then is when you see Hitler's O-face -- a sight most of us figured we'd live out the rest of our days never even contemplating. 

"We knew the face we gave to the illness could not be a pretty one," said Dirk Silz, the creative director of the ad agency behind the campaign, which also features charming print ads including a handful of other dictators such as Josef Stalin and Saddam Hussein. 

The campaign is set to launch on December 1, World AIDS Day, but is generating a lot of buzz already because people having sex with Hitler is kind of insane. The company said the response so far has been positive since the point of the ad is to shock people and make them aware of the dangers of unprotected sex.

LOL WUT NO BEWBS? Reported.



That's... kinda offensive.

Comparing Aids to the Holocaust....

I mean very few people are like actively trying to infect people... and those who are infected have much better survival rates then being stuffed into a gas chamber.



I think it's a good advert.
It goes for shock value and it should get plenty in Germany.

In the end it's just symbolism, they call the illness (not the people spreading it) a mass murderer, and Hitler is pretty high on the list of people coming into mind when mass murderer is mentioned.



dam that girl in the poster is hot... but the advert is just nonsense.

The people who should be most upset about this, are the Germans. Hitler is a massive black mark on there history. The last thing they need is for someone to keep him in the spotlight.

It works, but they could have just used Michael Jackson. Would have been just as shocking and offensive.



I think it's shocking but useful. Hitler was a mass murderer, AIDS kills masses of people. I don't see, why we should be offended as Germans by this fact. It's our history, we are about the only country in the world, which really did clear the dark parts of it.

Btt.: Nothing could be more shocking if you have unprotected sex and suddenly think of Hitler.

Here's the link to the campaign site. Be warned don't follow this link if you are under 18 or whatever the legal age for watching naked people in your country is.
