"take care down there"???

{gasp}, this is SHOCKING. what sort of evil ideas will the liberal scourge be advertising next? experiencing pleasure is WRONG!! sexual activity should ONLY be between two consenting, married adults who are disgusted to be seeing each other naked, and should occur only for the purpose of making a baby. any pleasure incurred should be an accidental by-product of said babymaking, and should not be talked about ever again!

Haha. I do think it's hilarious

that they were complaining about an ABSTINENCE ad, because it focused (and might I say, in a very ill-acted way) on masturbation. hehe. Just can't make 'em happy until all us women are wearing shock collars and using our uteruses for nothing but the cultivation of the conservative reich.

"ill-acted" being the key word....

i don't think that video's gonna be winning any awards any time soon, but i think they made their point. and, btw, i've never heard of it referred to as "strumming the banjo" until today! clicking the mouse, watering the flower, picking the peach, etc, but i've never heard any musical descriptions before! gotta go now, quark, my "piano" needs "tuning"....

Hahaha!

I dunno, the mustache guy could be seen as a little creepy. Maybe he's thinking a little too much about strumming the banjo?

"Abstinence, girls"

Ooohhh - what's up, creepy church guy? Scary.
I don't even get why there were complaints about this video (I mean, I would have gotten it if the complaints were about the acting, or the promotion of complete abstinence for WOMEN -where are the boys??? It's all about us saying "no" and "strumming our banjos" cause as we all know, "boys will be boys." Ah, golly. Those boys!)

Well gee,

you couldn't expect a person who has a penis to ALSO exercise self control. That's too much responsibility.

I don't entirely get why this is offensive, but my mother would be horribly embarrassed by it. Because she doesn't want to hear about anybody doing anything "down there", ew! And don't DARE admit to ever touching it, EW! Do it if you must but don't TALK about it...
