I hope the censors at Youtube who freak out when they see some nudity leave this ad because whatever you may think of it, it is worth seeing.

Video removed already, but I saw it on other hosting networks.
Very good at the first glance, gripping and striking ad!
But there is one thing bothering me:
- We can protect ourselves from Aids (condoms!), we know it exists and there is a way to avoid having it
- Jews were the primary victims of Hitler during the second world war, they had no choice about it, and almost no effective way to protect themselves from the holocaust.
This is the main reason why I find this somehow embarrassing.
But yes, it strikes!
I must be made in the old fashion, but I found the video somehow porn.
Unnecessarily explicit. IMHO.
(I’m from south america, for the statistics.)
But we are talking about AIDS prevention, it is hard not to be effective without talking about sex. As questionable as the video is it is much more memorable than other campaigns for the promotion of condoms. An infected person having unprotected sex is passing on death. The campaign btw has many more ads, this is one of them.
* you can get it also by blood transfusion if not screened good enough.
* aids/Hiv is not so “deadly” anymore “in the United States and Canada, it looks as though people with HIV are living long enough to die from causes other than AIDS. “

This is the year in which Europe will either fall apart or emerged stronger. I give it 75% that it emerges as a stronger union but the risk of collapse is still there. Germany has the key to solve the problem because of the size of its economy, its saving rate and its export volume. Germany has to decide on whether it continues to transfer some of its wealth in order to create markets for its exports or it let’s Europe fall apart and ends up with an overvalued currency and deteriorated markets. Already today it started paying negative interest rates which is a prelude in my view to a huge rise in the DM should it be born again. Tough choice. I think Germany can actually both save Europe and make money by buying underpriced Italian and Spanish bonds and selling them after stabilization. It can do what the FED did with many financial institutions, make a profit by providing much needed liquidity at a critical time.
