AIDS is a Mass Murder

The AIDS epidemic has become one of the greatest threats to human health and development. AIDS is a serious concern and is taken very seriously in trying to find cures and treatments. These pictures are actual campaign posters for the "AIDS Is A Mass Murderer" campaign. Which helps raise awareness about the dangers of AIDS. I was horrified when i saw these ads they're completely inapropriate. It's already known knowledge that AIDS kills many people every day around the whole world. The posters are rude and crude, especially since the people having sex are Hitler and Sadam. Yes, they were mass murderers and killed many people such as the AIDS virus. Hitler and Sadam are hated by so many people and it's so inapropriate to have them as the stars of these posters.By having these posters i believe it's making fun of people with AIDS. Basically saying yeah they screwed you and now you're screwed and there's nothing you can do about it. These posters will definitely get the message across about AIDS awareness i guarantee that. But it's sending the wrong message by making fun of the virus and the people that have it and are eventually going to die from it. I was completely offended and i don't even have AIDS. I just wonder what the people think about these ads that are suffering from the virus. They couldv'e come out with a better advertisement for their campaign dealing with AIDS bottom line.

Disney Innocent?

The Walt Disney Company is the world's largest media conglomerate. They have everything from movies, television programs, publishing, merchandise and even Theme Parks. For many years children have been viewing and enjoying Disney films and loving Disney, who doesn't love Disney?. Did you know there are subliminal messages in many of the films? All of the subliminal messages are completely sexual and inappropriate for the audience the films were geared towards. A lot of hidden messages have been seen and heard and there are more probably yet to be discovered. Movies such as "The Little Mermaid", "The Lion King", "Aladdin" and many more all of have these sexual inuendos and connotations throughout the films. In the picture above is the kings castle in "The Little Mermaid" and there is a penis right in front. This image is shown several times in the movie and is on the cover of the movie. Also, while prince Eric is getting married to Ursula in disguise the priest has an erection. Now i know that all children might not have picked up on these back in the day but now they might be since children are exposed to a lot more at a younger age. Regardless what message is this sending to children? That everything has to be sexualized even a Disney movie? Throughout the film "The Lion King" the word sex is seen numerous times. Whether it be in the stars at night, in blades of glass, across Simba's head or in the background it's there. In "Aladdin" in the background a voice says very quickly "good teenagers, take off your clothes". I think it's perverted to have such subliminal messages in Disney movies that are specifically geared towards children. But would you expect anything different? I think Disney has secretive agendas including the subliminal messaging as well as being very discriminative towards gender and race. They always have a damsel in distress, a very passive women character who's beautiful with a perfect body. Have you noticed that all the main characters are always white or a human. The characters that are suppose to be African American or Latino are depicted as creatures, animals, evil or criminals. No matter what the specific issue Disney is not innocent because they have inappropriate material geared towards children.

Encouraging Premature Sexualization

Last week in London a department store called Primark had children's bathing suits withdrawn from being sold. The bathing suits were pulled because they had padded bras on the bikini tops which were marketed towards 7 year old girls. It's absolutely ridiculous to put padding into a 7 year olds bathing suit top. It's disgusting and perverted to say the least. This is another way that society has tried to sexualize children and encourage them to grow up as fast as they can. It's sad to say but kids aren't being allowed to be kids anymore, their being taught to grow up fast. By having the padding put in the bikini is portraying that being sexy is the most important thing in a girls life. I'm confused i don't know how that even got approved to be produced, let alone be bought by a company and distributed to the store. What boggles me the most is the parents that purchased the bathing suit before it was withdrawn from the stores. You can't control the media and what's going to be produced but parents should know whats right from wrong and what the difference between a child and a women is. All clothing that's being produced with the intend to prematurely sexualize children is horrible and should be considered pedophilia. It may as well be and if not it's certainly encouraging those people more and more to act upon there desires. When young children are dressing older and being taught to be sexy so young. What happened to kids being kids and not being viewed and taught to be sexually desired and still be innocent and sweet? Society really needs to take a step back and look at what they're doing and causing to the children of today. A lot of them are going to have major psychological problems and it could have all been easily prevented if encouraging premature sexualization was never happening.
