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:
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!
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?”
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!
