Well, It's True

Being a news hound I am constantly checking local, state and national news sites. Today on Fox News' website they had a section for crazy vintage ads and this was one of them:

This takes me back to college......and not for the reason you may think! One of the toughest classes I ever took was communications research. We learned different methods of research (content analysis and surveys) and we individually conducted a huge research project and wrote a massive paper (a mini dissertation, if you will.) Being a history lover I chose to do a content analysis on WWII propaganda that used women. I think I analyzed close to 75 pieces but this poster was, by far, my favorite. Particularly the line, "You can't beat the Axis if you get VD."

Of course it's humorous but VD was a huge problem during the war so this poster was not without warrant.

I think propaganda today would read, "You can't text after you go blind from Gonorrhea complications."
