German advertising including Hitler, Stalin and Saddam Hussein having sex with women…

 

This is from Germany involving Hitler, Stalin and Saddam Hussein having sex with women with the slogan “Aids is a Mass Murderer” (sorry the pic is so small!). This kind of says that Aids = you are a bad person and really plays on the shocking theme we have been looking at, when you take into account everything that each of these three men are associated with and what they have done throughout their lives. But are we asking whether this goes too far? Is it coming from the wrong angle to provoke a certain reaction? What about people who have already contracted Aids?How does this affect them?

Personally I think this is a highly affective advertisement, and completely shocking in the context in which it is delivered, but I feel that sees Aids as a kind of solid completely avoidable entity rather than the virus that proves to be uncontrollable.

(p.s I have just realised that this ad has already been out up but hopefully the boring blurb of my opinion is what helps!!)
