We all know that teenage pregnancy is a big problem. However, I’m a bit mystified by this ad campaign by Candies, which appeals to teens’ inherent selfishness with the line delivered by spokesperson Bristol Palin, “Don’t let a teenage pregnancy take away your freedom. Pause before you play.”

Check out the ad:

This ad gives me the ickies.

What do you think? Does appealing to the “freedom” teenagers have without kids really work as a deterrent for teen sex and pregnancy?

This Miller Lite ad that was pitched a decade ago by the famed Ogilvy & Mathers agency has surfaced on YouTube.com.

Gross, right? Miller executives thought so too…that’s why they killed it. But thanks to a spec reel on a personal website, we all have the pleasure of watching. There’s a lesson here in making sure that you have control of all your collateral – even the stuff you kill.

In any case, I’m sure you can find a sermon example from this video…maybe something relating back to dogs eating vomit?
