Gay, French, Anti-AIDS PSA [Explicit Content - NSFW]
I thought about titling it "The Greatest Public Service Announcement Ever Made" because it pretty much is, but that wouldn't really get any hits, and I'm all about hits not content, clearly. As the title stands now, it has the key words that people can't seem to get enough of: AIDS, French and Gay. If you combine all three, you end up with a limp French fry straight from Sub-Saharan Africa... or this video.In making light of AIDS and the impact it has had in certain parts of the world where the rate is above 50 percent, I have to try being as tactful as possible. As a writer and editor on this website, there's a line I don't want to cross, so I'm making sure there's a fair warning in the title for the sensitive, politically correct and Christians.
As for everyone else who can handle animated clips with sexual content, I highly recommend watching this video. Even as a straight man, I simply can't resist viewing it or humming along to the catchy tune that plays throughout. There's a straight version as well, but I much prefer the one I chose for this post.
It's essentially one of three anti-AIDS PSA's created in France, which emphasize the need to use protection if you're planning on sleeping with multiple partners.
What I love about these clips is that they're fun, lighthearted, and catchy to a point where they might subliminally engrave themselves into your psyche. If there's enough brain power in your noggin, you may even fuel these implanted eggs of logic and reason to a cracking point, thus giving birth to safe sex rather than future foster children and a collection of abortions in a jar.
If certain groups of people in America weren't so sensitive or homophobic, these types of ads would have a shot at some air time. While I don't think they would work miracles, it's a positive message in the form of a fun ad which can potentially reach the minds of teens.
Instead of giving time slots to fake New Jerseyans and vapid socialites, channels like MTV could feature similar PSA's which would surely go viral without the infections. These videos have been around for a long while now, and I really wish this would become a trend of some sort.
TL;DR: Forget my rant and just watch the video - it's awesome.
Now,
How would you feel if such ads were to run on American television if by some miracle of God, media conglomerates allowed it?
Not from America? How effective do you think these videos can potentially be?

- About Me: The musician in me is constantly dueling with my inner writer, trying to take its place. What I'm attempting to do is allow them to live harmoniously, but it seems that I'm a terrible peacemaker, because they haven't stopped bickering or flinging spit-balls at one another. I write political satire, short stories, poems and... actually, I can pretty much write about anything; I'm flexible (not physically, unfortunately). If I had to choose, it would be writing softcore romance novels full of seduction, extramarital affairs and incredibly specific details. I'm kidding about that last part, I think.

What the s--
I'm traumatized.
the song has the beatles mixed with beach boys sound to it. if I didn't watch the video, I wouldn't even know what the song is about. he has scary tastes in men-the leopard thong dude
the video was lighthearted and funny at the beginning with the rollercoaster penis but when Bruno, the meathead showed up, it started to get creepy.
This ad is humorous, but that's all I really got out of it. It made it seem like it's totally okay to be sexually promiscuous as long as you're wearing a condom... but that doesn't always stop a person from getting AIDs. But hey, statistics show that out of all sexual orientations, gay males are the most promiscuous.. so maybe they'd get more out of it than I did.
I thought that was cute...lol. And I'm pretty conservative. I liked the message about how he felt thrown away and was just really not happy for a long time and then found someone he really liked/loved and treated him right.

>statistics show that out of all sexual orientations, gay males are the most promiscuous..Where did you read that?

I thought it was cute lol. And they used Sugar Baby Love by The Rubettes, so that wins my vote, I love that song, it's so adorable.
First of all, I don't think an ad like this is really going to have a significant impact on whether or not people use condoms. Honestly, to me, I was so distracted by the "soft porn" that I almost entirely forgot the message that the ad was supposed to be sending. Secondly, I don't think that ads like this (whether for heterosexuals or homosexuals) should be on television. It just isn't necessary. People who are old enough to have sex in this country probably have access to the internet or other sources of media, so let it go viral on youtube -not on cable television. I would not want to stumble on this by accident while flipping through channels with a young child.
So he ends up with a gay doctor? Wow. This video was just weird in many ways... Like the whole dick/condom rollercoaster haha! Plus the animation itself was just creepy XD If this ad was ran in America I would think that people would just start b***hing about it and just make a big mess about it. There would be reason to b***h about this video if it was aired in America just off of the soul fact that there was too much explicit scenes. And it wouldn't have mattered whether it was about heterosexuals or homosexuals. I don't think ads like this have any affect really... I mean either people are gonna take it or just ignore it and a lot of the time people ignore it and do what they want.
Seriously, WHAT THE FUCK was that?!
Wahahahahahahahahaahahahaha, did it contain a message? Because it was just hilarious.Yayyyyy for the penis roller coaster and McSteamy doctor haha.
Wait, so if this video promotes practicing safe sex, then why did the boy and his beach surfer lover at the beginning EAT the condom pack rather than using it? Oh nevermind, the condom inflated to a bubble gum that gloves the penis roller coaster. Great ... metaphor?
Everyone should watch the straight version of this same campaign, it is even funnier!
i'm sorry but was that a seriously disturbing poptarts commercial, or what?
I just about died at the penis roller coaster. xD
What the hell was the buff dude DOING?! LMFAO. Rubbing the poor guy on his shoulders like a towel or something..Such an amusing video. :PI think a lot of the outrage with this ad would be due to the prudish American culture... they're much more chill about this stuff in Europe, so I hear. Just saying.
Personally I thought this was funny. Sadly, so many people in this country are uptight...
The ad was more about having sex with anyone than it was about using condoms. The message I got was "it's ok to sleep with everyone, because the condom will protect you".
LOL! That was great! And the ending reminds me of an old toon. Thank you for sharing this. But to answer your question: I have no idea. Like most of the comments so far, people in real life might lose focus enough to forget about the main message.
What is with the penis roller coaster?
If the U.S allowed more ads to show animated man-sex, I have a good reason to start watching TV again, that's for sure.
seen this ad like five years ago on the internet. didn't think it was that bad. still think its quite funny in a good way.
@thepsychoticraccoon@xanga - America is quite uptight sadly. I quite agree with that and you.
OP:I have no idea what this commercial was trying to tell me. Lol
This just makes me incredibly sad, the boy's whole life was one ongoing tragedy.
where would I be able to find more information on these ads? like who distributes them / pays for them, etc?
@PervyPenguin@xanga - You seem to have interesting things to say from time to time...I'm more open to a certain amount of animated man-man sex than I would have been open to when I was younger- but I could do without the violence and brutality. Right now, in our society in general, it seems like gay men and male to female transsexuals especially, are very denigrated, whereas lesbians and to some extent female to male transsexuals are sensationalized, because of Vice-President Cheney's daughter being a butch lesbian and because of Rosie O'Donnell, Ellen DeGeneres, Suze Orman, Annise Parker (the lesbian mayor of Houston), etc. Suze Orman would be a lot sexier with a more extreme Mohawk, not just that nilla mullet, and with a studded dog collar and police hat and one-way shades, and combat boots. SamRo is like 10 times hotter than LiLo, nuff said.
In capitalist reality: None of these women do anything useful for American society except count their money and hide it in a mattress. I get kind of irritated by rich lesbians and by rich gay men, too. The old fashioned kind who collect antiques and wear tweed, especially.
I'm more interested in transsexuals from the third world- I followed a link on Facebook a little while ago and read an in-depth article about the MTF transsexual hookers of Tegucigalpa, Honduras. When they are being abused on the street the police don't protect them: the police join in. But these transwomen's customers come creeping around at night. You see so little about tranny hookers on Xanga for that matter. I wish I could do something to make them more acceptable.
I thought it was cute :)
