Lies Well Disguised, #8.

AIDS advertising. Good at getting people hot and bothered. Not so good at promoting AIDS awareness. Check out the sexy visuals and much less sexy words in this week's Gawker column (link).
previous Lies Well Disguised:
7. Kenneth Cole. Heel.
6. Advertising Horror Stories.
5. We are all made of Starbucks.
4. Deutsch & Binn: Perfect Douche Storm.
3. Unparalleled Hyperbole of NYC Real Estate Ads.
2. The Bloody Death of Celebrity Endorsements.
1. Advertising Week 2006.

I'm thinking they had to make them pretty because no one really wants to see little kids with yellow eyes/open sores, and lips cracked from dehydration. It makes it harder to live in our cocoons the other way

Personally, I'd rather see the sick kids over the shithead celebs who pretend to know "something" about the world we live in.

And yes. I'm jealous because they make more money than me.
