Gay Commercial: New Zealand Ministry of Health

[reviews_and_ramblings]

I like this commercial since I think it goes beyond a lot of prejudices, not only sexual but also racial.

An animated Hip Hop show is underway, as the MC spouts his rhymes, most notably "If you don't got a rubba, there will be no hubba hubba."

The commercial cuts to a shot of a white, Hip Hop gay male couple kissing, and the voiceover says, "More New Zealanders than ever before have HIV. Whoever you're having sex with, use a condom. It's your only protection."

The gay couple featured at the end of the ad is portrayed the same as the heterosexual pair in another version.
