Default What the hell with these commercials/videos?



This anti-fapping video from BYU Idaho - where not stopping your schoolmate from fapping is the equivalent to leaving a wounded fellow soldier for dead on the battlefield.





And then there's this anti-skipping school ad. NSFW tags, just in case.

NSFW!

PVR'd the game and have only been subjected to a Toyota and usual redneck rock CJ92 commercial so far. Yay CRTC?

They're not Superbowl commercials. I think that second video is an Aussie one. It might also be a sort of but not quite fake? Googling a little more.

If it's from BYU, wouldn't it be more 'Mormuns than 'Murica?

I always knew the Mormons were nut jobs but this anti fapping takes it to a whole new level.

Quote:
1. Never touch the intimate parts of your body except during normal toilet processes. Avoid being alone as much as possible. Find good company and stay in this good company.
Quote:
2. If you are associated with other persons having this same problem, you must break off their friendship. Never associate with other people having the same weakness. Don't suppose that two of you will quit together, you never will. You must get away from people of that kind. Just to be in their presence will keep your problem foremost in your mind. The problem must be taken out of your mind for that is where it really exists. Your mind must be on other and more wholesome things.
Quote:
3. When you bathe, do not admire yourself in a mirror. Never stay in the bath more than five or six minutes -- just long enough to bathe and dry and dress and then get out of the bathroom into a room where you will have some member of your family present
Quote:
4. When in bed, if that is where you have your problem for the most part, dress yourself for the night so securely that you cannot easily touch your vital parts, and so that it would be difficult and time consuming for you to remove those clothes. By the time you started to remove protective clothing you would have sufficiently controlled your thinking that the temptation would leave you.

It's not as if the anti-masturbation sentiment is limited to Mormons.

this one's a bit older, but the same idea. And I remember laughing like a lunatic the first time I saw it (yes, I'm a horrible person):

is "leaving the wounded on the battlefield" a slang term for not mopping up afterward?

I just watched the first video, and that is so unbelievably stupid, I'm a bit speechless.

It's like Xtians are trying to out crazy each other, and still be taken seriously.

If it wasn't for Xtianity, a lot of crazy people would just be crazy people, without representation.
