You know how sometimes advertising executives think it would be really effective to convey their message to their target demographic, buy using the current ‘lingo’ of the day? And you know how sometimes they go insanely overboard using a risqué cartoons and way too many slang terms so the end result is a weird Playboy-esque visual where the initial public health message is completely lost?
Um, yeah.

Totally funny, I will never forget what my high school econ teacher told a couple of guys who came let to class smelling like smoke: “You do realize you are burning fire towards your face right?”
The biggest scare: 10 cigarettes A DAY will cost you $ 64.00 A YEAR! OH NO!
“Smoking does not pay… BUT, you know what, kids? Teenage sex is definitely ok!”
THAT seems to be the message I got out of this…

Don’t show that strip to the idiots commenting on the Michelle Obama childhood obesity thread over at another blog, cos they will totally point out that the girl in this strip is a fatty, just like Michelle O.
Trying to remember the last time I heard ANYONE, much less a snotty teenaged boy, say “I’d do well to paddle out through the breakers.”
Not in my lifetime, Daddy-O.
