Yaz-owza

If Yaz was the only available birth control option on earth, I think I would rather have 20 children than have to ask my doctor about it or pick it up from a pharmacy. Just saying its name out loud makes me feel like an idiot. And somehow, the feeling of "late 1980s teen-oriented perfume," "slim menthol cigarettes," and "cheap hair gel" that I get from the logo design just doesn't make me think: "serious and trustworthy birth control option."

I guess I'm outside their demographic?

[Finally, just watch the irritating flash animated ladies on their website for a minute. Once they all finish their initial talk bubble conversation, they continue talking amongst themselves. The blonde lady blinks a lot. A. Lot. But the lady with the red hair doesn't blink at all! Fascinating...]

Maybe they'll come up with a generic version that you can take. Then we can call it Yazzish. Wouldn't that be funny?

there must be some connection between this poorly-named method of birth control and the 80s collaboration between Vince Clarke of Depeche Mode and Allison Moyet.

or if there isn't a connection, there ought to be. that graphic just screams to be backed up with a remix of "bring your love down (didn't i?)".

because, see, it doesn't matter if the pill itself fails, since the stupid name and hideous graphics are designed to "bring your love down" and eliminate the possibility of arousal altogether at their mere mention! no erection = no babies!!! pure genius.

okay, i totally messed up the HTML on this comment the first time and went back and re-did it. that is how desperate i am to procrastinate.

I just hope that Yazoo and their affiliates are earning dividends on this birth control venture...
