Anti-steriods ad warns of shrinking balls

Shrinkingballs“Surely there is a home on AdFreak for shrinking testicles?” a colleague e-mailed me yesterday. Yes, there is—as long as you’re not talking about VW’s turbo-cojones. A new TV spot from the Partnership for a Drug-Free America, in conjunction with Major League Baseball, dramatizes the consequences of steroid use by showing a set of shrinking balls, which will hopefully strike fear into the loins of American youths everywhere.

Haha, I think the ad campaign will be somehow effective... using the ultimate "Fear factor"! The young kids definitely don't want their "balls" to shrink in size! No-NO!!

But on the other hand, whether will they believe the "claim" is another thing -- nowadays most of the kids got this "Don't Care" attitude. So the message is hard to convince them...
