Never mind what your answer is to the question – ” Still A Virgin?” – I want to know how you feel about the billboard which is on full display at a location in Southwest Houston, near Highway 59 and 610.
I saw it as I was driving to work, and stopped to take a picture and write down the toll-free phone number.
After getting permission to call from work (story research) I dialed the number and followed the instructions. Basically all I heard was a man’s voice telling me to press 1 if “you’re still a virgin” or press another number if “you’re friends with a virgin.” Later on I was encouraged to find someone to help me lose my virginity. Hmm, ok.
After googling this goofy billboard, I learned that it is part of a public relations blitz for a new movie featuring Will Ferrell called “The Virginity Hit.”
Bravo on getting people’s attention, but I think the billboard is tacky 🙂

I’m thinking of all the 14 year olds who are flirting with the idea or being pressured into a sexual relationship. Do the marketing wizards who came up with this have daughters? It’s not humorous. And it’s not clever.
I saw this billboard and it turned my stomach it was so disgusting. What kind of message does it give to anyone: they have a super problem if they choose to be chaste? Shame on this marketing scheme. I will NEVER go to a Will Ferrell movie – EVER!!!
And shame on the billboard company for allowing this message that could have such an adverse effect on our youth.
