Condom Commercials Go Bollywood

Posted by Colleen Kane

 

We tip a (jimmy) hat to Gunaxin for alerting us to this amazing (and amazingly, seven-minute long) Bollywood condom commercial. 


 

 

P Narsingh Rao uses the clip for AIDS education in India: "Our main target groups are people vulnerable to the HIV virus like sex workers, transsexuals or truck drivers. We tour villages in mobile video vans to show the film. The screening is followed by a question and answer session about condom use and sexually transmitted diseases."

Now someone will have to visit the AIDS educator, promoting truck driver awareness. They aren't all scumbags, you know, Mr. Rao.
