Having sex without condoms is like making hot love with Hitler-that is what that AIDS awareness campaign told us through some recklessly placed images. In a way, that campaign made Hitler turn in his grave.

Hitlertising is not a new thing. Rasayana, ‘the anti-stress tea’, brought Adolph Hitler to its campaign. They featured image of a light-hearted, nice Hitler! New Zealand’s Hell pizza chain also tried to use Hitler for the brand promotion.

This time, New Form, a fashion boutique in Sicily, has caused a controversy by using Adolf Hitler in its ad campaign. The campaign presents Hitler in a pink uniform accompanied by the slogan, Change Style–Don’t Follow Your Leader.

Another controversial element I the ad is that Hitler is presented as wearing a heart on his armband. Some are not happy with this kind of approach.

But, the agency behind this campaign has a justification that these images ridicule Hitler and encourage youth to create their own style.
