PARIS 2e

"Infotainment? What the hell are you talking about?"


The anti-HIV AIDS campaign you won*t see in France!

The ad in question
A freshly prepared ad campaign against HIV-AIDS got censored by the French Advertisement Verification Office, because it might disturb certain people in France.
The ad in question depicts two naked men on a bed kissing, and a sentence saying "every day in France, four homosexuals discover they're HIV-positive".
Act Up-Paris already has criticised this act of homophobia.

In a country where you see even more female nudity on any cheap perfume ad campaign, or posters of straight couples in morally questionable positions on street billboards, would it really come to a shocking popular uprise if this particular ad was shown publicly?

If there was a straight couple on that ad, no one would even give shit about it.

Ridiculous!

    I am Cedric, discoverer of things that would go unnoticed in the streets of Paris, historic haven of fashionistas and city of lights ('lights' as in 'enlightenment', not street lights).
    But seriously: I'm an expat from Luxembourg (the country, not the garden), living in the center of Paris (hence 'Paris 2nd arrondissement'), and currenlty studying architectural history...
