Hitler = AIDS?

[sirdanrhodes]

You know, I think the government is a bit hypocritical about this whole situation, I mean, they'd go nuts if anyone else in Germany used Hitler.

But, I suppose it does show that the disease is evil, not the people.

Great rather than thinking about AIDS im now wondering what Hitlers orgasm face looks like, well done.

I think it's obvious that the mass murderer is AIDS itself, the HI-virus, not the HIV-infected people.
Yes, it's controversial, but I think it's definitely an approach that'll get the desired and needed attention.

it's funny that germany made this, as they arrest you for putting a swastika on your personal poisetions, weather it be a hate crime or not(ok, that might be a bit of a hyperbole, but you get the idea.)

It's a total hyperbole and simply wrong what you're spouting there. The context is what matters. So if I'm antifa, why shouldn't I have a broken swastika or a swastika in a trash can on my person? That's right, there's nothing preventing that.
It's about preventing the glorification of Nazism, not the symbol itself.
History lessons, documentaries, even Hollywood movies - swastikas are allowed everywhere where it's clearly not a glorification.

You know, I think the government is a bit hypocritical about this whole situation, I mean, they'd go nuts if anyone else in Germany used Hitler.

Really, these misconceptions about Germany piss me off. Half our comedy is about making fun of Hitler (slight hyperbole)! There are documentaries about him on TV on some channel or other every other day. There are big memorial parks and monuments to commemorate the Jews, Socialists and all the other people that were killed under the Nazi regime.
You people make it sound like we get censored if we mention the name!
There's a difference between censorship and discouragement of Nazism.

"The video ridicules all victims of the Nazi regime, and it equates HIV-positive people with mass murderers,"

The bloke misses a very important point there. Unwittingly or otherwise, people with HIV/AIDS that spread it become exactly that, they may not mean to, but they're giving other people a fatal disease with no cure.


Considering how HIV and STI's in general are all but ignored in Europe (the UK is as bad as anywhere for this), something like this strikes me as a good idea. People may not like the message, but they won't be ignoring it.

I have Aids, yet I am sleeping with someone. Therefore, I am Hitler. Mwahahahaha!

A well intentioned but poorly thought out and executed ad.

I know of AIDS couples. Basically two people who both have AIDS who are monogamous to prevent the spread while still enjoying sex to the fullest. So when she/he sees this poster and thinks of his/her partner, what's the poster look like then? Good job Germany. A for effort. A+ for forcing me to find the mental floss you unholy bastards.
