Adolf Hitler sex video condemned by AIDS charities

An Aids-awareness advert depicting Adolf Hitler having unprotected sex has been condemned by health charities.The provocative commercial, which ends with the tag-line 'AIDS is a mass murderer', aims to scare young people into using condoms.In the highly-sexualised clip, which can only be shown after the watershed, a couple undress and begin to make love in a dimly-lit bedroom.The steamy clip takes a macabre twist when the camera pans to man's face - revealing him to be Adolf Hitler.The commercial has been released to coincide with 2009 World Aids Day, but established HIV/Aids charities have distanced themselves from its message, saying that it could make life more difficult for sufferers."Of course there are many HIV organisations that run their own campaigns, however I think the advert is incredibly stigmatising to people living with HIV who already face much stigma and discrimination due to ignorance about the virus," a spokeswoman for the National AIDS Trust, which co-ordinates World Aids Day in Britain, said.The commercial was produced by the young Hamburg-based advertising agency, das comitee, on behalf of a small German Aids awareness group called Regenbogen e.V.Hans Weishäupl, creative director of das comitee, said it proposed the Hitler film after being briefed by Regenbogen e.V to come up with hard-hitting ideas."A lot of people are not aware that Aids is still murdering many people every day. They wanted a campaign which told young people that it is still a threat," he said.The videos will be broadcast on German television stations, but only after 9pm because of their sexual content.
