Unsafe Sex is Totally Nuts

From Holly Ashworth, About.com Guide   October 6, 2009

Remember Levi Johnston? That hottie hockey boy from Alaska who got Sarah Palin's daughter pregnant?

He's still busy making money off of his mistake, this time in a commercial for pistachios. In the ad, he walks towards the camera with a bodyguard while the paparazzi hound him, and an announcer says, "Now Levi Johnston does it with protection." (Get it?)

It might just be a silly joke to some people, but the fact that Levi keeps making light of having unprotected sex isn't very funny to me. Not when reports say that one in four teenage girls has had a sexually transmitted disease, and putting on a condom before sex majorly reduces the risk of spreading diseases - not to mention the risk of getting pregnant, like Bristol Palin did.

Did you like the commercial, or do you agree with me that Levi should knock it off already?

I think the ad ,as you discribe, seems to be sending the right messag. as in “i made a mistake, but now, i do it with protection” etc.

Yes, he needs to stop because he is showing his ignorance. The whole thing is nuts! You would think that her mother, Sara Palin took the time to speak with her daughter about such matters. For someone who is suppossed to be so intelligent, this is a pretty dumb thing to happen. Anyone can get free condoms from the health unit. Condoms are sold in vending machines that I observed several years ago in a collge dormitory. Parents not only need to talk about wearing condoms to prevent unwanted pregnancy, but they also need to tell you that unprotected sex allows for the possiblility of lots of STDs as well as HIV.
