Here’s some interesting eye candy in which AIDS is given a voice, and it ain’t friendly. Most will remember the unpleasant Roy Cohn from the hard-as-nails Pacino depiction in 2003’s Angels in America.

Unendorsed by Join Red, a movement to reinvigorate the AIDS discourse, the ad was created by Owen Plotkin, who likes making provocative ads for good causes.

Interestingly enough, tempering Join Red is growing speculation about what AIDS actually is and whether it exists at all. We look forward to watching the crossfire move into public salience. – Contributed by Angela Natividad
