So What Are You Trying to Say?
I was watching Casablanca on TV today and during a commercial break was flooded with images of delicate young ladies wearing flirty and feminine dresses of silk and chiffon. The "Sixpence None The Richer" Song There She Goes was the soundtrack. It was an advertisement for birth control pills.
I guess that's OK, but during the omnipresent legal disclaimer, the voice over says: "Does not protect against sexually transmitted disease."
The lawyers thought it was an important detail to point out to their target audience. What are they saying about the flirty sexually active female? That she's a nitwit?
"But Doctor, I can't have HIV! I'm on the pill!"
If this is a measure of the intelligence of the women that are using birth control, we should be grateful to each and everyone of them. They are vigilantly protecting the species. There are some genome sequences that aren't worth proliferating.
What's next, an oven mitt with a disclaimer that says it shouldn't be used for surgery?
