You Kids Don’t Seem to Get It: STDs Happen

posted by Simon in Other

Special note here. Apparently, it takes heavy campaigning from various groups on a regular basis to keep people from swapping crotch-sickness. The 80s push for sex education has all but fizzled out, with remaining social workers and volunteers scrambling to re-educate the clueless masses. STDs aren’t over, and won’t be for a long time.

Listen people, I know you don’t want to kill the moment. I know you had enough trouble creating the opportunity in the first place, and you don’t want to miss it, but if you didn’t fully prepare, it’s your own damned fault. If you want to play Russian roulette with your man/womanhood then go ahead, but don’t be surprised when things get blistery. It happens. It’s not like being struck by lightening. It’s real, and it’s ugly.

Trojan’s trying to help, with their Evolve One Evolve All campaign you might have heard about. Here they are, trying to get your attention all over again, so that maybe you’ll listen and help contain what is (again, sadly) a growing problem. Check out their website, and watch/comment on the videos there. Talk about the videos on your site. The more you participate, the more free condoms Trojan will donate to people to get the ball rolling. Here’s one video, by the great Stephen Colbert, that’s pretty goddamn hilarious if you ask me.

So check out the site, and fer chrissake, use a condom, or the next post about this will include infection pictures.
