1. Yo, yo, I'm down with that.

:crazy:

[Carni]

16. The "I'm lovin it" people at McDonalds must have devised this

Those ads are also insulting to the intelligence of all IMO

[atommom]

2. Not only uncool, but creepy as well.

This is just all kinds of wrong.

[DaveColorado]

3. LOL

Fundies have co-opted the word “bling.”

[JVS]

4. Why not just have a picture of Uncle Sam that points and says...

"I want YOU to stop acting like such a whore!", I think it would be the kind of direct campaign that appeals to youth.

[Salaama]

7. LOL

yes but if they said it like that then they would sound like 90% of caring fathers...lol, which would strike the rebellion in us teens...and then we would have all of America sleeping around...and we wouldn't want that now would we? Not that most of America doesn't already sleep around...anyways...hehe :sarcasm:

[Salaama]

5. Um...

I suppose by using the word "BLING" they are trying to capture the attention of us teenagers...yet I believe this is a serious matter and to me as a teenager it's coming off as not serious. :think:

[Massacure]

6. As a high school senior, I ask:

What the hell does 'bling' mean???

[Salaama]

8. I think...

Bling refers to money and so they associate that with a wedding ring...and you need money to take care of kids... I don't know... but it seems as if they are going alittle overboard with the teenage appeal attempt

[JVS]

9. Bling is the sound effect for light striking a jewel or shiny metal and...

reflecting in a sparkly manner. Stupid but true. I'd guess that the shiny metal and jewel in this case is the wedding ring.

[Castilleja]

10. So essentially, wait until he pays for it?

Someone probably paid good money for that too...

[BlueIris]

12. Or, wait until you "own" her.

Vile.

Disgusting.

Horrifying.

[Carni]

15. I agree that is really friggin offensive

Like a diamond will make the whole too young *with child* gig OK?

Good God... we are back to *Leave it to Beaver* type mentality crap without the added benefit of actually having a middle class in this country.

[ismnotwasm]

11. That is so wrong and strange

It almost looks like something from the Betty Bowers website. I want the tee shirt.

[nosmokes]

13. i can't help but think of a shiny condom named bling n/t

[JVS]

14. The condom with rhinestones!

[atommom]

17. Well, this is one way to kill off the use of the word "bling" ....

let conservatives use it in a misguided abstinence campaign! What could be more uncool, yo?
