This distasteful AIDS awareness campaign from Germany is all set to create some fracas like the 9/11 WWF work. It brings dead men from the history and uses them as symbols of AIDS.
This NSFW campaign has been produced by das comitee to raise awareness about AIDS and the upcoming world AIDS day. (know more about the campaign from their website) The ads show impersonators of Hitler, Saddam and Stalin engaged in sexual intercourse and the tagline reads- “AIDS is a mass murderer”, hinting the violent history of these men.
In advertising, particularly in advertising for public interest, the distasteful nature of the ads will destroy the good message that it aims to convey.
