This ad was created by PHACE Scotland. It is upfront not only about gay relationships, but also their public perception of indecency. By situating the two men at nighttime, behind a bush, as an elderly woman walks down the street, portrays the seediness and discomfort that the general public seems to have with gay men. The plastic toy element adds to the kitschyness of the ad, furthering its shock value, and potentially its effectiveness. The text says: “they would talk about HIV status, but Ken's got his mouth full”.

“If the past is interfering with your life, check-your-love-life”. The following ads by the Swiss Federal Office of Public Health and the Swiss Aids Federation employ nudity in peculiar situations that incite both a surprised reaction and an interest in the narrative of the image. The ads certainly cause people to read the text and understand the context of the ad: 1. No intercourse without a condom, 2. No sperm or blood in the mouth. Thus, these ads are another example of the public benefit that can come out of shock advertising.

European HIV charities condemned a new German AIDS ad featuring Adolf Hilter, Josef Stalin and Saddam Hussein's look-alikes having sex with naked women. The tag line of the ad is “Aids is a mass murderer” referring to the fact that 30 million people die of AIDS every year. The controversial advert has caused quite a stir among charity activists who blame the creators for the possible outcome of the campaign that's already being launched on German TV channels and will run all the way through December 1, World AIDS Day. The agency behind the ad campaign is Das Committee.
