Bizarre Picture of the Day

Henry Imler September 20th, 2008

My buddy Scott brought this ad to my attention:

 

wonderwoman aids.img_assist_custom

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.  If you are interesting in other bizarre ads, check out this list :: How to Market a Deadly Disease - 10 Shocking AIDS Ads from Around the World (some disturbing imagery).

    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.
