Terrifying Anti-AIDS Art

It's French, naturally. And it's remarkable - a compelling and disturbing work that is very effective at producing a visceral reaction.

Needless to say, we're unlikely to see anything like it here, and not just because of the bare ass. Though I think this is a perfect example of showing how that ridiculous puritanical taboo can get in the way of a public good. This shot wouldn't be nearly as terrifying if the guy was covered. And this is one of the most effective anti-unsafe sex images I've ever seen.

you know what the right would say to these ads: the message we should be sending our children is not to have sex with scorpions.
