Tonya and PQBON's WebLog
The campaign, launched in the run-up to Valentine's Day, features cartoon images of realistic looking Valentine's cards, with powerful messages about the risks of sexually transmitted infections (STIs).
One features a sunset scene of a couple on the beach with the poem: "Oh Valentine, since you came to me you're always in my thoughts. I'll never forget the night we met and you gave me genital warts."
Another shows a pink teddy bear in obvious pain, with the message: "I love you so much it hurts... when I pee."
English ministry of health is attacking STDs in people 18 to 30 which are apparently on the rise.
They even launched a cool website with the games "Who's got an iffy stiffy?" for the girls and "Play Scratch my box!" for the guys. The include a unisex game, the one-arm bandit which is a slot machine you never "loose" at.
Ok, now it has to be said.... Our government would never do anything (such as the site). The real irony is the religious right would have them take it down. Which is funny since this country was founded to have more religious freedom then England.
