So last night, during another wretched episode of Fashion Show (imagine a bloated half-sister of Project Runway), I came across a new anti-HIV Ad. The Department of Health and Mental Hygiene’s message was simple: “when you get HIV, it’s never just HIV.”

Now, some gay groups want the ad pulled because they feel graphic warnings about unprotected sex “could further stigmatize.. gay and bisexual men.” And the chuckleheads at GLAAD, of course, says it “misses the mark in fairly and accurately representing what it’s like to live with HIV/AIDS.”

Which wasn’t the ad’s point, but check it out for yourselves.

But then I changed my mind. I realized that this commercial wasn’t just a scare tactic – but a tribute to drug companies and those who work for them. (more…)
