Birth Control

     To be honest, the whole video didn't grab my attention.  I didn't find it too funny.  Yea there were a couple humorous parts here and there but nothing that cracked me up.  I think that maybe because the topic was of birth control that made it even less funny to me because I take this topic seriously.

     I have strong feelings about birth control.  I think every girl should be able to have free access to birth control.  The last thing I need (no offense) when I get ready to move on in life and I have to pay taxes, is to pay for 18 years of someone's stupid mistake at not using birth control.  There are too many unfit mothers and fathers in this world.  Why is it so hard to put a damn condom on or go to Planned Parenthood and get birth control.  I know a lot of people who get it for free.  I also know that there are people who have to pay for birth control.  Therefore,  I think it would save a lot of people a lot of money and time if birth control was free.

     Another thing about this video is that the only thing that really grabbed my attention was the woman doctor.  I think partially it is because she was mature and serious about the situation and because well, she was a woman talking about female contraception.  The satire did not fit the topic.  "Oh HAHA you're 15 and pregnant because you didn't learn how to close your legs" doesn't strike me as funny, it makes me think "oh hey karma, you do work."  

     I apologize if someone finds offense to this but birth control isn't funny, it doesn't deserve satirical videos dedicated to it.  It deserves some serious listening and maybe if more people took birth control seriously and birth control was free, then there wouldn't be so many people getting pregnant and there'd be less 16 year olds taking Facebook profile pictures of a 2 year old on their hip and having the tax payers pay for their shitty decision to be irresponsible. Now tell me, is that funny?
