a bit disturbing... lol

Don't quite know what to think right now. So don't do it with a big spider or a scorpion and you're safe?

or get a 'bug'....

Maybe the spider is good at it. :)

Oh my goodness... these are great!

Must.... have....

Very disturbing...

Although I come from a very conservative community, I have to say they are a stroke of genius.. The back stabbing scorpion is a very smart statement..

My wife thought they were very disturbing..

They make an awesome and powerful point, defiantly catches your attention.

WOW!! Look at that! 1000 reads for this thread! So this is a successful subject. :D

If I use a condom to do it with a scorpion it's ok, them? :D

hello? 3 yrs old?

man, the anons bumping 2-3 year old threads for inane comments is tiring.

As a person who has survived with HIV for 20 years, i am always glad to have awareness campaigns helping to remind people to practise safer sex. But these advertisements bother me.

I won't say that i'm "offended", because i'm not offended that easily, and because i know the ads serve a good purpose. But... i personally do not appreciate being likened to some kind of deadly spider or scorpion. I've spent more than half my life fighting the pointless stigma which our society dishes out to people with AIDS. I'm sick and tired of being compared to some kind of bugs, diseased germ-infested vermin, or otherwise belittled and denigrated.

For fuck's sake, do we go around telling people with polio or malaria that they are disgusting infectious bugs? Do we tell people with influenza or conjunctivitis that they are ugly hideous scary monsters?

I think the ad campaign should have come up with some better ideas.

Agree. These ads are offensive and I've always considered myself a pretty liberal-minded person.

I think that the agency could have taken the higher road with this one.

That scorpion will rock you like a hurricane

Am I the ONLY one here getting ho*ny over these?!?
:D

Yep. Just me.
