And naturally for THIS billboard, they use a person of color as a model.
And they use white people to promote Juneteenth celebrations
Every time I see this sign I feel disgusted
What does thie mean? Bettet to kill the girl than rape her? Wtf… Both are fucked up
"Bettet to kill the girl than rape her?’
Talk me through exactly how you got that message from this billboard?
Better to kill a fetus that has no conscience than to ruin a teen that’s going to have to carry that trauma for their whole life.
Back when this was posted on Reddit someone who worked in CPS chimed in. The short of it was: Yes , men raping their under age daughters is frighteningly common in some states and a common form of victimization of the girls that CPS handles.
I guess my question is, why would a billboard do anything to dissuade them from it?
Sweet home Alabama
I honestly thought this was a don’t drink and drive campaign and was struggling trying to reason out why it said “not your date” as if it was ok to drive drunk with a date.
Having to put up a “Please don’t ride your children” sign is something I thought we reserved for hamsters
Jesus fucking Christ please tell me this is fake
It’s absolutely not.
We had one up where I live that had a picture of a sad looking girl, maybe 12-14 and the text said: “Paying to have sex with children is a crime.” And then a number to call.

I sorta need a google maps link showing it. Its just crazy pants.
About 30% of rape cases against children occur in the close family, so probably yes.(Numbers are from Germany).
Yes and also, I doubt the effectiveness of snapping their mind out of this
Growing up in Wisconsin, drunk driving was a serious issue. Especially on New Years and the Fourth of July. The joke was that every little town throughout Wisconsin always had a church and a bar. There were so many alcoholics that would spend every day at those bars. It’s a tradition that probably goes back to the idea of public houses and having bars be a central location where your community gathers. Many people take the drinking part of that too far though and so the anti-drunk driving PSAs were necessary.
This isn’t actually a drunk driving poster though. This is a drunk fucking your daughter PSA.

Where are we considering “the Midwest” here? I ask because I grew up in northern Illinois, which is a much different Midwest from Kansas or Missouri.
EDIT: I originally typed Kentucky when my brain wanted to type Kansas
That’s just urban vs. rural.
Kentucky and East of the Mississippi usually isn’t considered Midwest anyway
so what is wisconsin, illinois, indiana, michigan, and ohio general area wise???
Wisconsin is Midwest… that’s west of the Mississippi
Indiana and Ohio are rust belt
um ah. The mississippi river is west of wisconsin and illinois. Its to the left of them on maps. So those state are east of the mississippi.
That’s the Midwest, I’m not sure what West of the Mississippi is though. The plains?
It absolutely is… Wisconsin, Illinois, Michigan, Indiana—that’s all pretty quintessential Midwest.
Great lakes, I think you mean.
I think you mean the Great Lakes region is in the Midwest.
Born and raised Michigander checking in. There’s a LOT of cultural variation in the Midwest that people gloss over. You can find extremely liberal population centers all around the region. Chicago, Detroit, Ann Arbor, Madison, Lansing, Milwaukee, etc
Minnesotan here. No incest signs. Lots of drunk driving signs. And, the occasional meth signs down in the SW of the state.
nebraska here and i’ve never seen an incest awareness sign. LOADS of pro life bullshit tho
Same in Oregon. Never seen a “don’t rape your children” bilboard or “don’t shake a baby” bilboard. I do however see a lot of bilboards telling me how a 14 day conceived baby (fetus) has eyes, a beating heart, nails, and maybe a job with current labor laws being pushed. It’s wild how you can outright lie about that shit on a bilboard.
I technically live in southern Illinois near St Louis and I’ve not seen incest sounds only intent ass anti abortion signs. None of which mention when a fetus becomes self aware.

I actually haven’t but I only leave the city after work. The most I’ve seen is churches blaming the pandemic and the climate on lack of faith. I try hard not to look at billboards die to how frustrating they can be.
why cant it just say “dont fuck your daughter, asshole”
Instructions unclear, interpreted as “don’t fuck your daughter’s asshole”
💀
So… raping your date is ok ?
Nah the daughter wanted it, he knows because he was drunk at the time.
Reminds me of the bible story about the daughter’s that got their father drunk and had sex with him. I’m totally sure that’s what happened and it wasn’t the father raping his daughters then blaming them for it.
I never thought about it like that wow that makes sense.
I love how the initial response is “I think he actually raped his daughters” instead of “the entire thing is literally just made up to control people like the rest of the bible.”
Relax, Lot never even existed.
I think the point is that even in a story they made up they create a fantasy where it’s the daughters fault for raping the father, not the other way around which it would obviously be.
Relax with telling people to relax, they were pretty calm in their comment.
Only if you have a valid excuse - like being drunk apparently
😂😂🤣
Pretty sure there are still states in the US where a marriage liscense is basically just that. God I hate it here.
Like out of 10?

it’s all about education baby
Now they need one about how being clergy is never an excuse.
“Drunk never excuse”
“Getting is an”
Getting is an drunk never excuse.
Someone is gonna have to help me out here.
It says, “Don’t fuck your kids.”
The disturbing part is people need a billboard to tell them that.
What. Word more you? Enough!
It legit took me more than 5 seconds to realise what it’s supposed to mean. Fckin hell how is this even real?
I remember one time driving through Oklahoma or Missouri in 04. 3 billboards in a row… “Stop” 2nd “Take a BREAK” 3rd, “Don’t ever shake a baby”
Why you need one let alone 3 is a disappointing reflection of reality.
Me, my papa was shaken baby, my papas papa was a shake baby, and my granpappy papa was a shaken baby, we all terned out altright. It’s called parenting!1!1!
Unrelated but you just reminded me of that excellent movie Three Billboards Outside Ebbing Missouri, which I must now go rewatch
I totally forgot about this movie until you mentioned it, but it is incredible. Thank you for reminding me of this Frances Mcdormand masterpiece
Why wouldn’t you shake a baby? That’s the quickest way to stop them crying
