Lena Dunham on "Your first time."

I've been reading about how folks are offended by this spot. I guess they have not seen the Sarah Silverman one.

Some people really seem to be born to take offense.

The Freep thread is classic. They don't seem to understand that yes, this is how a lot of modern college students look.

Ronald Reagan: "I know what it’s like to pull the Republican lever for the first time, because I used to be a Democrat myself, and I can tell you it only hurts for a minute and then it feels just great."

Hmm, that indignation is as fake as this ad is lame.

OMG, I rally don't like Sarah Silverman's humor but I laughed hardily at that ad.

As for "Your first time?" It's VERY targeted and a bit transparent but it's also cute and I think, effective. I think this is a good direction to go in in political ads. Kind of low-key and memorable.

The real triumph is that Lena Dunham managed to not spontaneously undress.

(I assume, I haven't watched the thing.)

Ha, I thought this was that thing from Rookie about losing your virginity, and I was all, "not another freaking virginity story." But then I started reading those virginity stories and they're not bad. Maybe my whole being really sick of childhood/coming of age story thing is finally fading.
