I guess its nice that they target the audience that comprises like 99% of HIV cases.

But its still weird to see it in this politically correct era we live in where everybody has to be represented even if it isnt reality.

So you complain if they’re PC and also complain if they only show their target audience?

It's a regional commercial. That's the Baton Rouge typical male demo... everyone else just sees normal run of the mill HIV couples.

Mcdonald's is the same way. They know who their target market is as well.

huh? You think he's complaining that the blacks and gays are getting too much attention via a HIV commercial? That was your understanding of his point?

I think the better one is the AIDS prevention pill commercial where they basically say even if you're just experiencing flu like symptoms take the pill.

AIDS is so hot right now

Scientists invent cures for diseases like aids which are personal choices caused by sin but they won’t even think about helping us innocent hangover sufferers

I've seen that add in Florida and Connecticut too.

My wife asked the same thing, then I looked it up and Gay Males account for like 72% of all HIV cases today.

Is he complaining or simply making an observation?

And they sort of imply that you can't get hiv now if you take the pill

That is good marketing. You think it should be targeted to middle age accountants?
