What do you get when you cross The Situation with Bristol Palin?
Absolutely nothing!
The two pop culture icons appear together in a compellingly persuasive new PSA all about safe sex that has proven so effective, people no longer feel the need to have sex.
Population experts fear the human race may soon become extinct as a result.
You know those rare times when you see a commercial, a video or a film and you wish deep down inside that you had written it? Believe me, this PSA isn’t one of them.
It is a wondrous thing when you see a Tracy-Hepburn kind of chemistry and witty banter.
Unfortunately, you can’t see it in this.
This is why the terrorists hate us.
And frankly, I can’t blame them.
And she dances like Fred Astaire’s mother, too. (Few people know that Mr. Astaire’s mother was so embarrassed by her club foot that she sent him to dance classes at a very early age. The rest is history. Or was that Arthur Murray? I always get the two of them mixed up.)
By the way, here is another spot with witty young-people banter.

Sorry, wrong link.
Thanks for that interesting tidbit on dancers, Curvin.
Arthur Murray brought to mind Jan Murray, a bad comedian who used to appear on the Mike Douglas Show and other talk shows in the 60’s. I’m sure he was not related to the famous dancer but suspect Arthur was funnier than Jan.
Thanks, Gary, for serving that excellent Jack commercial. That is one brilliant campaign and it’s good to know Jack is not afraid to tackle serious issues.
Somewhere, somehow, the spot will win an award at an ad show.
You’re probably right, Billy.
So sad, so very sad.
I was at Old Economy Village (outside Pittsburgh) a couple of weeks ago–an old village built by the Harmonists ( a religious cult from Germany) in the early 1800s–They built quite the industrial complex.
The village is still in tact with a whole town built in the 1820s-40s. They came from Germany following their religious leader. Today PA maintains parts of it as a museum site.
Unfortunately their leader outlawed sex in the mid-1820s and as a result the last of them died in the late 19th century and the last living heir sold it to the State which turned it into a museum around 1910–
Just goes to show you what abstinence can do.
Thanks for that report from the field. Abstinence obviously does not run in the family.
