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 .
Dear Reader,
Can I be direct with you?
War abroad. Socialists on the rise. AI upending human life. Endless uproar online. The modern attention economy doesn’t want readers — it wants users enslaved to the tyranny of the present.
First Things is the antidote: literary excellence, timeless truths, and a fixed point of reference in a culture that has lost its bearings.
But we can’t do it without readers like you.
Our goal: Raise $150,000 by November 1 to sustain First Things in the year ahead.
Your gift anchors readers in the permanent things.
