To promote the importance of getting tested for HIV, Thai organization TestBKK created a controversial advertisement titled ‘Birthday Surprise’.
The ad shows a young man going through some childhood memorabilia in his room. He finds a ‘questionable’ CD and proceeds to watch it.
He begins ‘touching’ himself, but is soon interrupted by his entire family—who decided to pop into his room to give him a birthday surprise.
The ad ends with the tagline, “There are more awkward things than getting tested.”
TestBKK is an organization dedicated to promoting safe sex and regular testing among gay men.
What do you think of the ad? Should they have approached it in a more serious tone?
