Sample Viewer Comments
• I loved this advertisement. I was 5 years old when the original grim reaper ad aired, I remember it so well, it scared the shit out of me. This is funny, witty, and to the point... Perhaps without meaning to be, it's also a great example of how far we've come…Cheers!

Sample Viewer Comments
• Is this actually going to air on TV?!?! Why the fuck must you portray gay people this way? We are not all drag queens, leather bears and club twinks. Why are these always the main images portrayed? Where's the diversity? This ad doesn't speak to me as a gay man at all - and it doesn't speak for most gay men either. I can't see this dumb ad preventing any new cases of HIV transmission - its only accomplishment will be to reinforce tired old stereotypes. (Ipex1975)

Sample Viewer Comments
• It was an internet/social application/viral marketing campaign. The purpose of the campaign was to initiate discussion about HIV and debunk the demonisation of HIV+ people in the original grim reaper ad using parody. You saw the lesbians in the campaign? A diversity world first for such a campaign. All done on volunteer time and effort.
