"Sex with a minor, don't go there"? How good a slogan is that?

[Interrobang!?]

Virginia (the state, not Ms. Dare) is funding an advertising campaign to cut down on statutory rape. Specifically, they want to cut down on the number of babies born to underage women who get pregnant by older men.

This is the campaign they're coming up with: billboards, posters and coasters adorned with:

Messages such as "Isn't she a little young?" and "Sex with a minor, don't go there" are intended to reduce statutory rape and what the department calls sexual coercion.

Good cause. Yay, statutory rape prevention, say I. But I think they could use some snappier taglines.

Off the top of my head:
• Young enough to be your daughter. Old enough to have your daughter.
•Are you robbing the cradle, or filling one up?
• She's got the bait. Virginia's got the jail.
• There's no "date" in "sex predator."

I'm sure the Boards can do even better. Suggest away!

An old standby: 15'll get ya 20!


some others? OK...




We don't pee in your pool, don't fuck our virgins!



The magic frog defense won't fly in this state, buddy!



No, a hardhat with a light on it isn't what we're taliking about when we prohibit sex with minors.



Pick yer wimmins up from bars, not schools!



Virginia, it's not for those kind of lovers.

Statutory rape ain't got nuthin' to do with pigeons, ya losers!


If you can't do the time, don't pluck the vine.



Yes Virginia, there is an age to consent.

How about 'put it back in your pants and don't be a fucking moron'

"Old enough to pee. Old enough for me!"

No.. wait a minute, that's not quite right.


"Everytime you deflower a virgin God kills a naked mole rat"

no... that's not the ticket either


"No pubic hair? Get out of there!"

"Nice and furry? No need to hurry!"


There we go!

From the same agency that brought you "If there's grass on the playing field, play ball!"

Seriously, can any kind of advertising have an impact on this type of behavior?

"If there's grass on the field, play ball!"

Wait, that's wrong ... hmm ...

A few years ago I read -- I think this was in the "News of the Weird" column -- that there were billboards put up in Bournemouth, England that said, "Why travel thousands of miles [to Southeast Asia] to have sex with children when you can do it right here in Bournemouth?"

This?

The message? "Don't f**k around in Virginia."

Hey, it even works as a double entendre. And when read literally. And figuratively.

Hey, maybe this campaign will inspire West Virginia to start an ad blitz to reduce the number of underage girls who get pregnant by their older brothers!

For a somewhat more crude version:

"If it bleeds, it breeds."

"Keep it in your pants. Your cellmate might not."
