MADD Brings Us An Idiot’s Guide to Drunk Driving

stayin_on_%20the_road.jpg

Well here’s a different approach to safe driving advertising. Rather than horrific death and dismemberment, TBWA Toronto has created a quirky MADD campaign that highlights the stupid behaviors of idiots who explain how to stay on the road while drunk. There’s no blood. There’s no guts. There’s no screaming girlfriend and there’s no inconsolable parents.

Nope. Just a collection of doofuses telling us how they manage not to crash while drunk. Hmm. Not too sure about this one. Making light of drunk driving? That’s sort of like making light of misogynist shiny suds who taunt women in a shower. Who would do that?

My husband and I have weekly date nights where we leave our daughter with the nanny and go out for dinner and drinks — and the number of people who’ve called that selfish taught me that most couples stop prioritizing their marriage the second they become parents, and then wonder why they feel like roommates

I’m 73, my daughter is 44, and if you asked us both to describe our family we’d tell you two completely different stories — in hers I was controlling and unavailable, in mine I was holding everything together with both hands — and the distance between those two versions is the exact space where most parent-child relationships go to die
