Probably the Edgiest Thing I've Ever Posted

Warning....this isn't for the prudish. Rather than erotic I found this....disturbing. It's a foreign HIV prevention spot. Have I become jaded?

Have to say I find it disturbing too. It's a little like the ads they showed in the 80's with the Grim Reaper bowling everyone over in a bowling alley. Scare tactics - but obviously scare tactics don't work as far as HIV prevention and education goes. Strange they haven't learnt that in over twenty years.

Best Wishes,

I didn't like how they seemed to emphasize gay "interactions". You see an obvious man on man and woman on woman, but unless I missed it, I didn't see the hetero kind and that's not right, imo.

As for the hour glass, it fits with the ending line- a person dies of aids every 10 seconds.

Not sure all those ten second people in the world are white either... but anyway.. lol

Wow now that is one hell of an advert. I agree with Prin and didn't see much man on woman stuff going on there. The 'bodies' dropping down at the end made me feel sick.

Good find though - makes you think thats for sure. xx

Wow. That was very disturbing. I was disturbed when it pulled away and it was the hourglass with dead bodies dropping.

Yikes.
