PSA (for the ladies): You can be emotional and all, “feelings!” and stuff without the additional drawback of a nasty old wrinkle-face. Just like they did it in the '70s.

MTV and Belgian ad agency Duval Guillaume are pushing this pair of provocative ads encouraging safe sex. The ads also serve as a timely reminder that it's generally not a good idea to allow sexual partners to sign their names above your genitals. Because it makes you look like a slut.
Though it's certainly effective advertising, I feel like the the creepiness of the poster suffocating a child risks overshadowing the PSA message itself. Is that a Thomas the Tank Engine patch on his OshKosh B'Gosh dungarees?
