the wrong message to send our teens

I can't even find the words to say how horrific these ads are. I have to post them, since among the list of backers for the National Campaign to Prevent Teen Pregnancy is the U.S. Government.

The text on the poster reads:
I want to be out with my friends.
Instead, I'm changing DIRTY diapers at home.

Would you like a little social stigma with that objectification? Even worse, here's a companion website that tells you exactly how to be a teen: stay self-centered, bratty, a slacker, not pregnant, and you're a proper teen! And if you're concerned about innuendo of race and sex, don't worry, they've got more posters. See the rest via sociological images. Really worth the click.
