It finally happened. I finally saw a commercial for the Plan B emergency contraceptive. If you are unfamiliar with the Plan B emergency contraceptive, it’s exactly what it sounds like, a pill taken after an incident of unprotected sex whether accidental or on purpose (i.e. out of spite, the classic “I’ll show that bitch” move) to terminate the possibility of a pregnancy. Essentially, Plan B is the get out jail or, in this case, fatherhood card for hundreds if not millions of young men.
I am, however, not writing to debate the merits of the pill. What caught my attention was the commercial. Check out the link. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YAEq7_NTltk
It’s simply unrealistic. All the women waking up are alone and in pajamas. Let’s be real here. The probable scenario is that she’ll be completely nude and with a calm, hungover male. They won’t get up casually and start getting dressed, rather they’ll start gathering up the cash and get to the guy’s broke-ass Hyundai Sonata and get to the pharmacy as fast as possible. On the way, they’ll argue about who should go in and request it.
I don’t want to take a stand on this, but…
- If the girl’s on the pill, then she should get it.
- If the guy’s condom failed, then he should get it.
- If they were both too drunk to procure protection, then they either rock-paper-scissor, best two out of three, OR have a third party ask a series of riddles where the one who answers incorrectly has to get the Plan B.
The advertisement doesn’t even show the woman getting the condescending look from the pharmacist. The commercial also informs us that Plan B should not be used as regular contraceptive. Probably because Plan B produces the Hiroshima/Nagasaki effect on the directed area. Then it goes on to show how women who take Plan B conveniently go about their lives.
One area left unaddressed was if a man took the Plan B pill on a dare to settle who was more badass. But, that’s another article and another hospital visit.

Here at Rick Goddard, we encourage safe sex whether it's the pill, condoms, chastity belts, or getting so drunk that the prospect of achieving an erection is as unlikely as Adam Lambert being elected pope.
Goddard Out.
