AIDS Campaigns Say ‘HIV is Gay,’ ‘Horny Heads Get Lost’

Beyond Madison Avenue has examined two recent AIDS campaigns. The first, an LA-based campaign which carries the headline “HIV is a gay disease” is causing a stir but if those causing the stir would just read the body copy, they’d know that’s not entirely what the ad’s saying. The second, a German campaign, carries a racier tone typical of many European ads and cites, “It’s easy to lose your head when your horny.” Oh, the double (or is it triple) meaning there is just gold.
