Unf#¢ the Gulf. That’s what the public service campaign is called.

It’s supposed to be cool. Supposed to be edgy. Supposed to be really smart because they’re giving $5 from the sale of each T-shirt to charity and they let you vote on which charity.
But what it really is, is just shock for the sake of shock. Our bet? They don’t sell 1000 shirts.
WARNING: Objectionable language, objectionable use of children using objectionable language, objectionable people of every size, shape and color.
Irony is running rampant these days. Turns out unfunny comedienne Wanda Sykes, who insulted Rush Limbaugh at the White House Correspondents’ Dinner, appeared in a recent “public service” commercial where she lectures teenage boys about how they shouldn’t use insulting language. She tells them to “Knock it off.”
After her humorless appearance at the White House Correspondents’ Dinner, maybe the Gay, Lesbian and Straight Education Network should find itself a new role model who’s not so, well, insulting.
Here we go again. More government money being spent to teach people how to use condoms.
As anyone who’s read IHateTheMedia.com for more than a few seconds knows, there are no geniuses around here. But even the staff morons can figure out how to use a condom. And if they haven’t heard what the purpose of a condom is by the time they’re old enough to use one, they haven’t been paying attention to the liberal media.
In fact, we consider the fact that George Clooney hasn’t reproduced is proof positive that a moron can figure out how to use a condom.
The condom commercial is part of a larger program. Here’s how GetFreeCondoms.org describes it:
According to a study released 6/24/08 by PLoS Medicine, watching a video in an STD clinic waiting room can reduce the risk for a new STD by almost 10%. In a large multi-center intervention trial, Dr. Lee Warner from the Centers for Disease control and Prevention and a team of researchers at different institutions in the U.S. studied the effect of a carefully crafted, 23-minute waiting room video on the risk for new STDs among 40,000 patients in 3 STD clinics in the country. More information about Safe in the City can be found at the project’s website: www.safeinthecity.org.
Our favorite part of the video is the Barry White-like voice over. It’s like the CDC is taking a little walk on the wild side.
