French Ads: ‘Fuck AIDS’

FRANCE -- “Condoms: Fuck AIDS.”
That’s the message of the French
government’s new anti-AIDS campaign
which went up on 8,000 billboards
nationwide in September.

The campaign uses the actual English
word ‘fuck,’ which is popular among
French youth, according to Reuters.

“At a time when fear (of AIDS) seems to
be dissipating, especially among the
young...a new, more-involving,
more—motivating slogan was urgently
needed,” said the Kerjo ad agency which
created the posters. (Outlines)

OITM’s Quote of the Month

“It doesn’t disturb me to have gay
fans. Maybe they like me because
gay people love beauty in general.
They have a high level of taste.”
