     CALL ME PINOCCHIO: Faced with rapidly stiffening opposition, an AIDS 
     awareness advertisement has been pulled from Brazilian television just 
     days after it started. The ad, which features a man in a bar talking 
     with his penis, known as Braulio, promotes the use of condoms. "If you 
     come out you're going to have to wear a condom," the man tells his 
     pants. "OK, you win," the unseen Braulio responds, "but get the condom 
     quickly because there's a gorgeous woman staring at me." Much of the 
     opposition to the ad came from people named Braulio. The name was 
     chosen after a survey found it a common Brazilian nickname for the 
     male organ. Anastacio, Bimbo ("too childish"), Mauro, Petronio ("too 
     long"), Oscar and Tonhao, were also considered. Brazil's health 
     minister Adib Jatene defended the $5 million ad campaign as "daring 
     and aggressive", and necessary to help combat the fact that Brazil has 
     the greatest incidence of AIDS in Latin America. He says the ads will 
     reappear after a new nickname is chosen. (Reuter) ...
