Take a minute and speak up

I just sent the following to faces@thewb.com. You might consider sending something similar (politely worded, of course).

I'm writing to say that I don't think it's such a great idea to be airing condom commercials during "Smallville." It's bad enough that the show sent some pretty damaging messages about sexuality this season. (Clark deciding to keep dating the girl who drugged him and nearly raped him? Not to mention small-town high school cheerleaders who look like "Playboy" Playmates? Please.) You really don't need to send the message that just using a condom makes sex all right for young people who are still too emotionally immature to handle all the ramifications -- or that condoms are 100 percent protection from diseases and pregnancy. I hope you'll rethink this decision and not air any more such ads in the future. Thank you.
