German Sex Education

This is the way advertising, education, media, anything to do with informing the people should be. America has taken in this whole "don'f offend" anyone thing. Well kids, if you don't offend, sometime (a lot of the time) you get nowhere. People don't act when they feel no emotion towards a piece. It's just there, and blah. This is a good example of a serious issue made serious:

Text:

Diagnosis: Between life and death lies only .003 milimeters of latex.
Notes: Every year, 3 million people die resulting from AIDs world wide.
Use: Infrom yourself; knowledge protects against contamination/infection”




All we ever use is words. Not that words aren't powerful, in fact, sometimes they're the most powerful, but in this case, images for scare factor should be used. Unprotected sex is or could be a matter of life and death. An image like this will stick in a person's mind and they'll remember it. Frankness may offend people, but it gets to the point, and makes sure that the point is heard. All this bullshit with "politically correctness" is just an excuse to make our pieces of writing have a shit load more deadwood. Deadwood sucks people.
