Recently NPR came out with this report linking teenagers who watch certain TV shows and being more likely to have sex and become pregnant. "experts" have been lining tv show content to behaviors in people for years. I don't think a certain show links to teenage pregnancy. Three of the shows on the list; That 70s Show, Sex and the City, and Friends, do not feature direct teenage sex and except two characters on Friends, none of the shows feature pregnancy. Of the three, only really That 70s Show have I ever watched. It is about teenagers in the 70s doing drugs and annoying their parents, nothing else.
Then I saw this commercial:
Now I could see how this commercial could increase teenage pregnancy. Every guy that watches that wants to be that guy, and every girl wants to be that girl. Look how cool they are, and they are lying and then telling the truth, how hipster of them. Also, this is not the only new Levi's commercial that hints at teenage or unmarried sex.

This commercial doesn't just glorify casual sex between teenagers, but also breaking and entering into a family's home! I, personally, am taking a stand against these commercials. You can come to my blog for Levi Strauss contact information. JoanOH2.blogspot.com
