Wow. That's ... amazing and sickening, all at once. I made the boys watch it, though their reaction was, "yeah, mom, we know this." I think I need to discuss it a little more, then.
ETA: Midlet tells me that this kind of video was required viewing in his health classes in the local public school, several times over, in fact. One thing they're doing right in those classes, even if they can't seem to say the word "condom."
Thanks for linking to this. I carried the laptop down the hall to EK's room and said I had something to show her. She's seen this sort of thing before, but at that very moment, she was flipping through her latest issue of Seventeen magazine, so it was perfect timing.
EK said her favorite part was where you could see that the model has a bit of acne, "because really, that's just the way skin is sometimes, hunh?" She called it "creepy" when they changed her eye size and face shape in photoshop.

I showed it to YK as well, of course.
Again, thank you for the link.
