Aids riposte to Benetton

(First Edition)

A Frenchman terminally ill with Aids hit back at the 'HIV positive' Benetton advertising campaign with an advertisement in Liberation newspaper proclaiming 'Business as usual during the agony', Reuter reports from Paris. The ad shows an emaciated man smiling sadly and the words 'HIV positive'. 'To Luciano Benetton, from Olivier Besnard-Rousseau, ill with Aids, terminal stage,' the caption said.
