Fox: condoms don’t prevent pregnancy.

Fox has refused to air a national Trojan condom commercial because it objects “to the message that condoms can prevent pregnancy.” But according to the Food and Drug Administration, “latex condoms greatly reduce the risks of pregnancy” and are “the most effective method for reducing the risk of infection from the viruses that cause AIDS, other HIV-related illnesses, and other STDs.”

    True that the only way to not get pregnant is abstinence… but condoms DO prevent MOST pregnancies…. just let the republicans keep it in the family…. they love them some incest.

    FWIW–do they advertise for the HPV vaccine, Guardasil? Anyone know?


  6. SGT Higgins says:

    because it objects “to the message that condoms can prevent pregnancy.”

    I could understand not airing the commercial….say before 9PM….but becasuse they object to the message? C’Mon!

    Ironic that they expect a 100.00% proven relationship between condoms use and pregnancy prevention (condoms, used correctly, have a 98%+ contraception rate), but are willing to air other claims that have far far less support…

    Um? I do not think that word means what you think it means. In this case Darwinism would mean Faux viewers would outbreed non-Faux viewers due to a higher reproduction rate. Although it’s a poor fit, it seems to be the closest given your usage of it.

    Otherwise the Darwinism would be people killing themselves with VD’s from not using condoms.

    Comment by zooey

    No Zoo,
    it’s Fox’s objection to the message that condoms prevent pregnancy…..as opposed to abstinence, is my guess. Not that they said that condoms don’t prevent prgnancy.


  17. Fan_of_Man says:

    #17 – LOL! TRUE!


  18. Daryll says:

    Fox News is right. Condoms are not 100% proof. I thank the Lord that the message supporting abstinence is being sincerely received by this generation. Earlier this week the AP has shown that the number of teens and young adults committing fornication has decreased from the last calendar year. Hallelujah!

    the first linked article makes the claim that Fox said this, though they do not use a direct word for word quote.

Fox said it objected to the message that condoms can prevent pregnancy, while CBS said it was not “appropriate,” drawing a firestorm of criticism from public health advocates and bloggers.

    I guess objecting to a message is not exactly the same as claiming it’s false — could just be a truth they don’t want widely known!!

    The increasing number of right wing nuts taking their cues from the delusional duo in the White House is impressive.

Throughout most of my life, I did not understand the depth of the panicked fear that gripped the Republic during the McCarthy era. But I do now.

    Candyce, the bible calls it fornication. This term should not be considered/used as a fad. I believe that it is good news that more young people are refraining from having sex before marriage. The President’s abstinence initiative is working. Well done , Mr. President, well done!

  80. DRxJ says:

    Daryll, one quick question before I leave (and totally ignore the Joker idiot),
    Since God created the male anatomy, and since the physiological make up of men is to actually release it’s old “sperm” (thru wet dreams, masturbation, or good ol’ sex), why is it considered “fornicating”, and why is it sin?

    BOOM!!!!

    (the sound you just heard was St.Daryll’s brain imploding, similar to his first sexual encounter with a male)

  108. missmolly says:

    Surely Fox could have come up with something a little more credible than “condoms don’t prevent pregnancy” to mask their real reason for refusing the ads. Sure, they don’t prevent pregnancy as well as abstinence. But the evidence is there that they prevent pregnancy better than nothing at all.

    So what is their REAL agenda? They want to promote abstinence? In that case, they should also refuse all other ads that promote sex. This would include direct sex sales pitches (ads for Viagra and Cialis), and all indirect sex sales pitches (ads for beer, ads for cosmetics, ads for anything that covertly says “if you use this product you’ll get laid”). I’d like to see them turn down all that revenue just to stand on principle!


  109. Ret. Col. Jack Ripper says:

    All, do not listen to this blogger. You must wait until marriage.

    What? You sayin’ to wait until marriage to prevent abortions? What kind of sick-@ss message is THAT?

    Then have all the abortions you want!


  116. spit take says:

    Saying condoms don’t prevent pregnancy is like saying brakes don’t prevent auto accidents.


  117. Ret. Col. Jack Ripper says:

    Daryll, here’s a suggestion for you from a person you really should pay attention to if you’re as pious as you claim:

    “And when you pray, be not like the hypocrites, who affect to pray standing in the assemblies, and at the corners of the streets, that men may observe them. Indeed, I say to you, they have received their reward. But you, when you would pray, retire to your closet; and having shut the door, pray to your Father; and your Father, to whom, though he is unseen himself, nothing is secret, will recompense you.” -Matthew

    In other words, STFU!

  119. Daryll says:

    I have no sympathy for those that have received STD’s from premarital sex/fornication. They broke biblical laws.

    Biblical laws? Can’t seem to find any of those, here in this Secular Republic. You do know that your mommy and daddy had sex, don’t you? (I hope your mommy told you about your daddy).

    Comment by Marcus Aurelius — July 17, 2007 @ 5:11 pm

    Marcus, sure they had sex. They had sex when they were married.


  120. Jeremy says:

    Daryll is probably scared of sex because a really hot girl in highschool looked at his 5′2″ tall, 4′ wide body that looks like the Good Lord patterned him after the Stay-Puffed Marshmellow Man, listened to his pathetic ‘wanna go out and huh huh huh’ line, and said, and I quote: “Get lost, loser.”

    That’s my hypothesis, anyway. ;)

    Oh, and Daryll…I have this little hot girl, possibly even the same girl who rejected Mr. Marshmellow Man, who is going to be coming home to me tonight. Did I mention she looks damn hot in her black minidress and platform boots? ;) ;) :P Oh, yeah, did I mention she really looks damn hot in the above with that little symbol of the holy tradition you say you respect on her ring finger? The one I gave her. ;)

    If you wait until marriage, I believe that an abortion would not be necessary because you have the proper family support to nurture and mold a child.

    Right, because married women never get pregnant when they don’t want to.

    And all married women have plenty of time and money, not to mention the temperament and desire, to “nuture and mold a child.”

    Hmm… Wonder if Jesus objected to condom use by married couples? After all, he could still get his jollies sniffing that good ol’ sexual aroma, even if they used a condom.

    I told you that googling just makes you look bad.

    I’ve read the New Testament cover to cover, many times, including direct translations from the Codex Vaticanus, and I can tell you, that phrase does not exist.

    But if you think in all your googling that it does, feel free to post the passage and verse.

  180. PaulB says:

    Bartlebee, of course I was joking! That’s why I said that the phrase only existed in the RDV version of the Bible — the Revised Daryll Version.

    I just took the silliness to the next step since I was tickled at the notion of Jesus going around sniffing sexual aromas, as though the sexual aroma of a married couple was any different than that of a non-married couple.

    None of the Googled links were to any Biblical sources, as you can imagine. Most, in fact, were to erotic fiction of one kind or another, where “Jesus!” was more likely to be an exclamation rather than a Biblical reference.

    Apology accepted.

    It’s an eternal source of fascination that these bozos believe (or so it seems by their talk) that there’s only one sin, and that’s sex. It is true that Christ was against fornication–he was also dead set against divorce. Try selling that one in America.
    But there are all sorts of other sins: bearing false witness. Covetousness. Profaning the Sabbath! Where are they coming out against NASCAR and Pro Football? (Absurd? Only a couple of generations ago, they were. And effectively.)
    To folks like Daryll. Lust is a demon–but Greed is not. Neither is Anger. And neither, of course, is Pride.

    Biblical law, Daryll? here’s a biblical law:
    ” But I say unto you, That ye resist not evil: but whosoever shall smite thee on thy right cheek, turn to him the other also. ”
    and this:
    “Give to him that asketh thee, and from him that would borrow of thee turn not thou away.”

    Those are the words of the one you serve. God made Flesh. The Messiah. The Lord Jesus Christ. Feed the hungry. Help the poor. Love thy neighbor as thy self.
    Do you follow these laws, Daryll? Do you preach poverty and obedience with that chastity?
    Daryll, Christianity is not easy. Christianity means dedication and service to one’s fellow man.
    ” He that saith, I know him, and keepeth not his commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him.”
    “He that saith he is in the light, and hateth his brother, is in darkness even until now.”

    Thou Hypocrite, Daryll.

  214. Happy Guy says:

    Wow, here you people are twisting ideas again. First let me say I think condoms and education of use should be done. But you state it yourselves.

    They refuse to say “condoms prevent pregnancy”. They don’t and you even state the truth. The “reduce the risk”, not prevent.

    And as for the statement – “are the most effective method for reducing the risk of infection from the viruses that cause AIDS, other HIV-related illnesses, and other STDs.” That is not true. Abstinence reduces it more so then it is not “the most effective way”

    Not that it is practical in anyway. But it just shows how wrong and word twisting this site is. You people are wrong again. And I agree that people will have sex. People should use condoms under most circumstances. Not when you are married and trying to have kids, but definitely if you are a liberal or a DemocRat.

    ROTFL
