My buddy Scott brought this ad to my attention:
What the crap? Why Wonder Woman? Why not Superman? Is this an attack on women? No. After a bit of digging, it looks like the ad comes from the AIDES foundation, a french anti-AIDS organization. They also have one picturing Superman with AIDS. Taken as a whole, I think they are pretty effective. Its easy to say to oneself that I won’t get AIDS, it does not affect me, it only hurts those that deserve it ( it’s punishment from God, right? ). I think it’s pretty effective.

To say that it doesn’t affect oneself is a major mistake. People can get aids from flood transfusions, medical accidents, cheating partners, etc, etc,
Let’s pray for a cure soon!
Yeah, you are right. It would be nice and convient to think of AIDS as God’s punishment for sexual sins. However, it is no where that easy.
