NGKUR: Misogynistic Anti-Drunk Driving Campaign

[RajahMD]

Did y'all see this? Such a fucked up campaign. How in the world this ever got approved, I will never understand. And yet the governor supported it after it was called out! Sheesh.

Dear lord. These are bad on so many levels.

I mean, aside from being misogynistic, etc...the coasters don't even make sense. What about the one about the boss's daughter would be interpreted in a way to make a (assumed) guy avoid drinking and driving?

Not to mention, if they are confusing when I am sober and reading them, how's a drunk person supposed to get the message?

What a waste.

Well that's.....interesting.

Exactly! They also paint these extreme scenarios like that is the only time someone would be drinking and driving. I think most folks are impaired driving after like 3 beers out on a normal night. The message they should be spreading is not about some hilarious bachelor party scenario, this is about every day life!

The fact that this was approved out of the governor's office is appalling. And their excuse?! Let's try to get their attention by warning them of a clingy, chatty girl? Unreal...

Also, apparently ladies don't drink and drive in TN??

Of course not, they're going home with the men to whom these are targeted. Sluts.

Ugh, the thing that makes me the most sad about these things is how many people had to sign off on this to actually make it happen. It's like that rapey Bud Light campaign from a couple months ago that said "The perfect beer for removing 'no' from your vocabulary for the night."

Just now seeing this. Fucking atrocious.

Wait, let me test something...

"If you're so drunk you can't see his bald spot any more, can you check YOUR blind spot?"

"If you've had so much you're laughing at his dumb jokes, you'll be laughing all the way to jail..."

Nope, doesn't work in the reverse either. Fucking morons.
