Godwin’s law, Aids, and a Bad German PSA

Godwin’s law talks about the decline of a civil argument and the eventual reference of Hitler and the Nazis.

Verein Regenbogen has a new PSA comparing AIDS to Adolph Hitler in that AIDS is a mass murderer. If that were not enough, they provide a CGI sex scene with a woman having drunken sex with Adolph Hitler.

Using the imagery of Hitler in this way does invoke Godwin’s law. If you need to make a video like that for schock value, perhaps your argument is in need of an update. There are many reasons to support campaigns to stop AIDS. This is not one way.  For Shame.
