New AIDS Awareness ad in Germany starring Hitler

Germany's latest AIDS-awareness commercial evokes some strong emotions: shock, disgust, nausea and that's exactly what they wanted.

The controversial ad, which was released online on Sept. 3 and starts running on German TV on Wednesday, Sept. 9, shows a couple having steamy sex in a dimly lit room with menacing music playing in the background.

The viewer sees only the back of the man's head until the very end, when the camera pans to his face — to reveal that he's Adolf Hitler. Then the slogan flashes across the screen: "AIDS is a mass murderer." Check it out on www.theyoungturks.com
