Helping Hand | MTV Advertisement

When you closely look at the man sitting in front of this picture, he holds a poster on which you can read "HIV PLEASE HELP".

This ad was forbidden. MTV aired it only once. I receive it in my mailbox today.

The message laying beneath is: war against terrorism is worth than war against AIDS, hunger, poverty. In our country, we are all used to watch many ads talking about sodas, clothes, health, medicine, make-up, cars, paradisiac islands... We aren't even aware of the other countries lifestyle...

Most of the time, we think that we must live like all these bimbos and playboys we use to see on TV. But the fact is that poor people number increases more and more. 2000 people died in the NY plane crashes...Other 50 in London...Other 200 in Madrid last year.

However, these are not the main death causes in the world. Only mass media events. The History is often written by the Conqueror. In one century, our children will learn that terrorist attacks hit many western countries but none will know that 25% of South African people are inoculated by the HIV on 2000. Maybe all Africa people are died long time before that.
