Brick Posted December 17, 2014 Report Share Posted December 17, 2014 "Dont jerk and drive" campaign supposed to raise awareness for overcorrecting the wheel with bad road conditions gets pulled. http://nymag.com/daily/intelligencer/2014/12/south-dakota-yanks-dont-jerk-drive-campaign.html [h=1]South Dakota Yanks ‘Don't Jerk and Drive’ Ad Campaign[/h] By Jessica Roy [h=3]14.6kShares[/h] Share14.4k Tweet134 Share22 Share16 Email Print http://pixel.nymag.com/imgs/daily/intelligencer/2014/12/15/dont-jerk-and-drive1.w529.h352.2x.jpg South Dakota has yanked its "Don't Jerk and Drive" ad campaign for reasons that are totally obvious to anyone who's ever been 13 years old: It's reminiscent of the (disturbingly popular) pastime of masturbating while driving. http://pixel.nymag.com/imgs/daily/intelligencer/2014/12/15/dont-jerk-and-drive2.w529.h352.2x.jpg The PSAs, plastered on billboards around the state, were supposed to "grab the attention of drivers" and jack up interest in the dangers of navigating snowy roads. Though the Office of Highway Safety took a purposeful whack at double entendre, some believed the ads might rub people the wrong way and become a driving distraction. The campaign was yanked prematurely by the Department of Public Safety, which said it doesn't "want innuendo to pull focus for the main message of saving lives on the road." So much for that stroke of genius. Now the Department of Highway Safety is left with a pretty sticky PR mess to clean up. http://pixel.nymag.com/imgs/daily/intelligencer/2014/12/15/dont-jerk-and-drive3.nocrop.w529.h281.2x.jpg http://pixel.nymag.com/imgs/daily/intelligencer/2014/12/15/dont-jerk-and-drive4.w529.h352.2x.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
