You know the down side of being a virgin? The ugly wardrobe options.

EDIT: Okay, the other down side. You know, aside from the obvious.

OTHER EDIT: We're supposed to get six inches of snow tomorrow?! Where the hell was I when this happened?

I always wondered how born again virginity worked myself...

oh geez!

[bluesteelstars.livejournal.com]

What's up with the underwear? Um...isn't that counterproductive?

[aliaspiral.livejournal.com]

did anyone else notice that the highway signs have arrows pointing right at the nipples? wouldnt that just attract attention to a body part that can be used to make the girl forget that she is waiting?

and there are only two shirts for guys. i wonder why? is no sex not cool for guys? /sarcasm

[phillyexpat.livejournal.com]

LOL-just because you're a virgin doesn't mean you need to buy into the abstinence chic fashion line.

[opportunemoment.livejournal.com]

... sigh.
You know, I do think it's good for people to be completely comfortable and at home with their virginity and not striving to lose it just cause they think they should...
But I also think that anyone who walks around wearing one of those shirts is terribly, terribly naive and going to be mocked mercilessly by their peers. Especially if they're in the highschool and college age bracket, which the campaign is clearly aiming at.

[divabat.livejournal.com]

What s/he said. Though I'm not sure if, say, I'd be mocked for wearing it, as it is "no one would give a damn".

What's wrong with abstinence anyway? o_O

[vass]

At that age, if I'd been into abstinence (as opposed to just not interested) I'd have gotten all martyrish and prissy when people mocked me, and believed that I was PERSECUTED for my RELIGION, and would generally have had a good time.

[opportunemoment.livejournal.com]

Hee. That's true. I dunno, maybe it's just me being overly cynical. Or maybe my school was particularly bad with the mocking.

I saw a pair of billboards yesterday that were very amusing. The top had two grinning teenage girls and it said "we've got plans... Sex Can Wait!"
Right Below it the next billboard had a silly picture of a car. "Don't You WAIT to buy a new car..." with some dealer info.
I thought it was an interesting match.

[anne-jumps.livejournal.com]

That reminds me of the SNL Dorky Cheerleaders' chant: "Sex can wait! Masturbate!"

[astaria51.livejournal.com]

Considering the old definitions of what is sex and what isn't, that billboard sounds just a little bit gay...

Whenever I see people who make sure to let you know they're virgins, I'm reminded of a TAR moment. (Because everything can be tied to TAR!) From the recap:

At any rate, Reichen tears up as he explains to the group that he met Chip while he was still in the Air Force, and that the two of them got married a year ago, and this is actually their anniversary. A congratulatory round of applause goes up around the table as the camera pans around...to show that Millie and Chuck alone are sitting stone-faced and not offering any congratulatory anything. Well...right. Because what's to be happy about when people love each other and have had a really rough go of it, and are now spilling their guts to you and obviously very nervous about how you're going to react? Love? Feh! Other people's happiness? Yuck! In truth, the whole thing would be really funny if it weren't so sad. I mean, the very idea of Millie and Chuck standing in judgment of anyone's relationship? So ironic it makes my head hurt. It's like having your environmental policy scoffed at by Texaco.

...

Back at the breakfast table, Millie tells the others that she and Chuck have been dating for twelve years. "Twelve years?" Kelly says. Millie confirms it. "Except, uh, we're virgins, too, so..." Chuck adds. The hell? Apparently Chuck has confused Get To Know Each Other Day with TMI Day. In case he's wondering, Millie saying they'd been dating twelve years was analogous to the Chipsters saying it was their anniversary. Saying they were virgins, however, would be analogous to Reichen having added, "Oh, and Chip enjoys being spanked."

[apocalypsos.livejournal.com]

Bwah. I remember that episode. Any sort of empathy I might have had for Millie and Chuck (and I didn't have much left at that point) went right out the window with the look they gave Chip and Reichen. Celibate little snots.

[mareklamo.livejournal.com]

They were probably jealous of the hot sweaty sex that Chip and Reichen were having.

P.S. Did they say why they've been dating for twelve years without getting married? Sounds like somebody might have commitment issues.

[apocalypsos.livejournal.com]

Oh, yeah, were they ever having commitment issues. They were really Christian, which would make it okay if they weren't both 29 and still single. Although, it was understandable why he hadn't proposed, since Millie was a psycho hose beast.

[welfy.livejournal.com]

Color me stupid, but what does TAR stand for?

[apocalypsos.livejournal.com]

The Amazing Race. Millie and Chuck were a couple who were on two seasons ago (I think) who'd been in a relationship for twelve years and were saving themselves for marriage. It wouldn't have been a problem if they hadn't made it look like they were just going to stay celibate and sanctimonious for the rest of their lives. They weren't very good about making themselves look very nice. (Well, okay, that was mostly Millie.)

[hamadryad.livejournal.com]

If you haven't seen this yet, I am shocked. Gratified, however, to be able to share:

Iron Hymen.

[kittikattie.livejournal.com]

I smell parody.

[hamadryad.livejournal.com]

I do too...but were I still a virgin I know I would INFINITELY prefer to wear "Iron Hymen" over "Willing to Wait."

[welfy.livejournal.com]

I just try to dress like the dirty heathens to blend in. ;^P

[kittikattie.livejournal.com]

Hah. All the men's underwear are briefs. Cause if they wear boxers they're OMG so trying to do it!

Stuff like that makes me want to get a shirt that says the exact opposite and wear it.

[penknife.livejournal.com]

It's the underwear that gets me. "How serious am I about staying a virgin? Let me drop my pants and show you!"

[lamiael.livejournal.com]

As if people stop to read.

"What's this say? Willing to..."
"...Dammit. *runs off to confession*"

[adjectivegirl.livejournal.com]

Hee. Does anyone else find the "Call Box" Wait-vert extremely amusing?

[tinylegacies.livejournal.com]

In addition to the snow - were you aware of this?

I think it's the end of the world...

[apocalypsos.livejournal.com]

Oh, yeah, I heard about those. And I wish it were the end of the world, because at least then I wouldn't have to come to work tomorrow. (I think the full moon is affecting everybody, because everybody working here is more insane than usual. ARGH.)

[rowanberries.livejournal.com]

BORN AGAIN VIRGIN!?

I hate some people so much. So. Much.

Just.. what the fuck?

[apocalypsos.livejournal.com]

I think that should only count if it's literal, although I don't think anyone's mother would go along with it. Much easier for everyone just to stay a virgin until you find someone who's not a fuckwit, like me. :)

[foresthouse.livejournal.com]

Hee! Ugly shirts with stupid sayings!

And...Pray for snow, pray for snow!!!!!

[apocalypsos.livejournal.com]

No, no praying for snow! I have to go to work tomorrow right when it's going to be snowing. If it could hold off until the weekend, though, I could go for that. :)

[foresthouse.livejournal.com]

Ohhh. But I totally don't wanna go to class tomorrow.

Ok, I have it! Pray for snow after you get to work, but before I leave for school (10:30) and then a nice warm front to melt it by when you need to get home.

Quick and erratic snow! Heh.

[apocalypsos.livejournal.com]

*snerk* Notice how we're saying all of this like DC will even get any snow. There will just be a lot of people flailing like Muppets in the streets and raids on all the Safeways in the area, and then ... nothin'. Just like every storm in this area. ;)

[foresthouse.livejournal.com]

LOL. Yeah, you're right.

It reminds me of when we had the "hurricane" last year - which was basically just a lot of wind and rain - and everyone was like, "OMG, HURRICANE!!!"

What amused me the most is when I went next door to buy milk and there were 4 different guys (of course only guys) standing out there in the street on cell phones going, "I'm standing in a HURRICANE!!"

P.S. "Flailing like Muppets" - never fails to crack me up.

[99catsaway.livejournal.com]

What's the deal with virginity underwear?! Who's going to see it?

[acetal.livejournal.com]

No, everyone else gets six inches tomorrow.

You can wait. ;)
