Yeah, they were going to use some french comic heroes, but realized that everyone's already seen Asterix fuck Tintin in the ass.

Edited to clarify this is a cheap shot at the French, not a slam on gays or the horror of contracting AIDS.

That's strategically difficult, you know. Asterix is about 3 feet tall, and Tintin is at least 5"6'. How exactly would that proceed to occur?

Tintin : 'Asterix, dear love, there's a stool right there. Now if you just climbed up, and then clung on for dear life.........'

I would say their premise is 50% implausible. Wonder Woman is from Earth and not immune to disease but is very stong, agile, and has quick reflexes. Superman is not from Earth and IS immune to disease, the only thing that would affect him is some form of radiation or the a part of his home planet...which doesn't make him weak just not stong.

Sorry, I guess I'm a nerd

Actually, I was in a comic shop today, and someone told me that Wonder Woman is technically a goddess, so non-magical disease shouldn't be a problem for her either.

As for Superman...well, it worked in "War of the Worlds," right?

So...the condom underneath the tagline in each picture suggests that these two mighty heroes caught HIV riding bareback? I gotta say, if I was going to suggest that comic book superheroes became infected by AIDS through sexual transmission, I would've picked a pair with more interesting sex lives. I mean, Supes saved himself for marriage and Wonder Woman has the sex drive of a geriatric nun. Maybe Lois has been taking long lunches in the mail room?

I really hope TimeWarner doesn't demand money from a fricking AIDS charity. That would be low. Maybe ask them to stop, but they better not try to get them in trouble.

While I think the message here is great and the ads are really powerful, LOTS of disease can make someone look that way. I don't think of AIDS when I look at these pictures, I think of cancer.

But either way, awesome idea. I wish there were some in English so I could print them out and hang them up.

Yikes, scary images, but they certainly do make a point.
