Germans: yeah we go there.

I never realized how hot sex with Hitler could be.

Wow, that's probably the last thing I never expected to write, but I'll type it again. 

Hitler is a wild animal in the bedroom. At least according to award winning German advertising company "Das Comitee," he is. 

In the weeks preceding AID week, starting December 1, a series of televison commercials will run showing the Führer having hot, sweaty, anti-Semitic sex with an anonymous woman. Not bad when you consider he'd of turned 120 years old last april.

Adolf's likeness is being used as a cleaver, yet shocking metaphor for the dangers of unprotected sex. At the very end of ad the message runs "unsafe sex is a mass murderer."  

Also three print ads will run showing Saddam Hussein, Josef Stalin and, again, Hitler all in similar situations to what's depicted in the commercial.

AIDS charities are up in arms, and they have the right to be. The idea of likening someone with AIDS or HIV continues to propagate a dangerous stigma, but its an interesting attention grabbing, original vehicle for spreading an important message. Personally I like it because its so shocking, from beginning to end there isn't anyone in the room who isn't paying attention.

I went to a catholic high school, I remember watching the absence only sex education videos. You know the same program that was proven to increase teenage pregnancies, but that's a topic for another time, and the sensationalism of the campaign is striking a lot of similar chords in my mind.

Message wise I mean, not fucking histories greatest monster wise. 

HIV and AIDS is not an epidemic anymore, its a pandemic, meaning everyone, everywhere who is getting their freak on needs to be aware that they are at risk. This isn't just a gay disease, or an african disease, or a poor disease, or an Easy-E disease anymore, its a human disease, effecting human beings, and some primates, everywhere.

We can't ghettoize infected people, they're entitled to all the same rights as everyone else. They're entitled to quality of life, and that includes a sex life. The key is disclosure, education, and availability of treatment options. Here in Canada, with socialized medicine, its not an issue. People further south and around the world, might have some problems.

For the those of us who still test negative, and remain promiscuous, the key is safety. So remember everyone, once the ugly lights come on in the bar, boy or girl, Lothar Machtan did write a book claiming to prove the forementioned German's homosexuality, if your going to go home with Hitler, or anyone for that matter, please, pretty please, with sugar on top, use real 98% effective barrier protection and get tested, now.

I did.
