Apparently, Iowa has the same underage pregnancy problem that Virginia does and, like Virginia, has launched a billboard campaign to raise awareness of the issue. While Virginia’s effort spoke to guys asking, on its billboard, “Isn’t she a little young?”, Iowa’s effort speaks to girls telling them to “Wait for the Bling.” Yes, you read that right. Iowa, land of the potato corn, is speaking street. The Iowa billboard popped up a month or so ago and looks much like any billboard you’d see if you ventured 100 miles outside a major city. There’s a certain cultural cuteness to these boards as they try to latch onto what they perceive to be big city speak while, at the same time, callling attention to a burning local issue.
