the post in which I admire san francisco planned parenthood’s nice tool

by Violet Blue on September 5, 2006

nicetool.jpgI mean, my local Planned Parenthood Golden Gate has a terrific tool-themed commercial — with a very sexy construction worker babe in the starring role and a *great* idea for how I should be storing my safer sex supplies and sex toys. Here’s a link to watch the .mov video and one to watch the .wmv video — too bad there’s no embed option for this. (I almost snagged and uploaded it so I could — uh — stuff it in my post). This ad is from April, but went under my radar — though hilariously, it came up loud and clear for the American Life League, who immediately sent out this press release with the headline “Planned Parenthood’s TV Commercial Raises the Bar for the Depths of Depravity.” American Life League elaborated saying, “The ad is beyond disgusting. The entire scenario is wrought with sexual innuendo regarding the connection between power tools and sexual performance.”

Wow, I never thought of that. That last line is, like, a huge turn-on. It may in fact be the summarized, unintentional script for my personal sex life. See you at Home Depot.
