Circumcision Campaign Propaganda by VMMC
Three circumcision propaganda ads (by the VMMC) aired in South Africa during football prime-time viewing.
I think they should get circumcised
it protects your balls
It makes you strong
Once your foreskin is tough... your skin doesn't bruise easily
washing your penis becomes so easy
once it gets to half-time, you also get a cut [get circumcised]
"Let me ask you, you have to get tested?" The female character responds "It's not a must."
Use a condom. All the time. ALL THE TIME!
You are a man. Not a dog.
