Nothing Encourages Pursuit of Happiness Like a French PSA

We do love a good French PSA in the morning.

Shedwa pokes us in the direction of a couple of French AIDS awareness ads admonishing watchers to “live long enough to find happiness. Protect yourself.” The message is typical but the ads certainly aren’t (unless you’re comparing them to this. Aren’t the French awesome?).

Shedwa’s got both the gay and straight version. We’re debating over which one is raunchier. While the straight one has floating penises and two condom-sheathed heads making out, the gay one has a wank-shaped roller coaster and that’s pretty hard to beat, actually.

We’ve got a long way to go before our AIDS ads are nearly as awesome. Even Canada kicks our asses.
