An absolutely terrifying new anti-AIDS campaign has been introduced in France. Not safe for work or arachnophobes.

Yeah, I've seen this before, but I don't know if it was here. Wonderful ads, but then again I am a big fan of arthropods. Not that big, though.

Well when you change your mind, The Straightener, head on over to the 7-11 at Broad and Wolf; an arachnocunnilinguist resides on top of the building.

Is that an Ikea bed? I wonder if the scorpion occasionally gets a claw stuck in between the planks under the mattress after a particularly splendid amount of sex.

Or the planks have shifted during *ahem* flight, and then the mattress falls down on one side as the planks slide out. Yes, fuck you, IKEA bed.

Citizen Premier, it is likely referring to the name of the sponsoring group or agency. "AIDS" in French is, of course, "SIDA."

By: desjardins

desjardins — Wed, 02 May 2007 12:14:17 -0800

Also, what's with the "e" in "AIDeS" in the French posters? The word "aides" means assistance or support. The organization has been around since '84.

I didn't realize AIDS was transmissable to humans from gigantic arachnid sex slaves. That could have a real chilling effect on the whole gigantic arachnid sex slave industry. *calls broker*

So, is that first ad saying that women can get HIV from receiving oral sex? Because, as far as I know, that's one of the unlikeliest ways of contracting HIV. I'm not sure there's even been a documented case of that.

Well, when the person doing the eating has frickin' huge fangs, (and no tongue?), I imagine that'd create a whole mess of openings for the AIDS-infected saliva (Thank YOU Dr. Frist!) to get through.

Ya know, I was wondering a while back if there was such a thing as an insect fetish. I think I googled it, and didn't find much. I swear with all the shit around (no pun intended... as evidenced by the fchan links) there'd be more. No, seriously, I'm not particularly concerned about it, it just occurred to me one day that maybe people get off on having creepy crawly things all over them in a Fear Factor Fetish kind of way. After my girlfriend got wigged out, I said "See, they work, you don't want AIDS" and she said "What I don't want is spiders up my hoo-hoo!" This all happening after a stupid ant invasion in our house of course, so she's a bit touchy on the creepy-crawlies lately.

I prefer the "Don't Be Stupid" ads. Are these scorpion ads trying to suggest that people who have AIDS are somehow non-humans, denigrated to the level of insects? Icky insects at that! What ever happened to compassion and celebrating their personhood and the freedom to make responsible sexual decisions? Don't mind me. I went to Hampshire College - also known as Freakshow University. This... this wanting to turn everything into a struggle against the oppressors is a byproduct of an alternative curriculum filled with gender neutral pronouns celebrating the race, class, and cultural differences of all of the trustafarians enjoying a $36,000/year education. Wait? What were we talking about? Yeah. Sex with giant spiders is gross. Unless the giant spider consents. Then it's ok.

So... People with HIV are actually insects.. Surely after fucking a scorpion you'd be pretty dead anyway. I know female arachnids kill and eat their partners after mating, could that be the reason why male spiders are choosing our human women-folk for casual sex? Do I now have to spray my knob with mortein as well as use condoms, or is mortein enough? Is arachnoerotic a suitable film genre?
