Imagine the Potential, Redux

Remember the CatholicVote.org ad from January that highlighted President Obama’s incredible story and ended with the tagline “Life: Imagine the Potential”? Well, now a German ad campaign is playing on the same theme but for an entirely different purpose.

A new series of condom ads for Doc Morris Pharmacies features sperm that resemble Adolf Hitler, Mao Zedong, and Osama bin Laden. The message, according to one ad-reporting site : “Use a condom, and be sure you’re not bringing the next Osama bin Laden, Adolf Hitler, or Mao Zedong into the world.”

So preventing pregnancy can also prevent the murder of several million innocent men, women, and children. It seems the only way we’re going to survive is to stop having children altogether. Because that’s working so well in Russia .
