Production notes
Some 80 volunteers in Canada, India and South Africa created this ground-breaking behavior modification program to stop the spread of HIV/AIDS.
The original PSA versions were created in English with Canadian voices.
The PSAs run for 60, 30, 20 and 15 seconds each.
This hilariously memorable public-service campaign with deadly serious intentions has been made available in 41 different languages with a grant from OMNI Television in Ontario. It has been seen on SABC (South Africa), OMNI (Canada), SBS 6 (Holland), TVM (Mozambique) and many other networks.
The project was launched on November 13, 2003 in Cape Town, South Africa and is supported by Archbishop Desmond Tutu.
