UK AIDS Awareness Ads put Ken doll to shame…
Categories: AIDS, Gay, Health, UK Add comments
I can see it now… the ad agency’s rep saw his son putting his sister’s dolls in inappropriate positions and got the idea. In any case, it’s quite creative. Definitely calls it out and although perhaps the park one is a bit lewd – it’s truth without naughty parts printed. (Click to Enlarge)
Jocko re-typed the print on the ad… I’m feelin’ a little too lazy to do that myself.

I think the inspiration comes from Ultrasparky’s Poseable Thumbs.

Those are actually Billy dolls, not Ken.

I’d, personaly, like to know what the maker of this was trying to get across. Because I look at this and the only thing I see is “You’ll get AIDS if your gay” seeing as the dolls are all male. I believe there was a much better way to show AIDS Awareness then with these crude pictures, because it makes them seem homophobic. I personaly find it offensive and would like to see this removed.
