New Zealand: A funny sense of humor!

Post Reply New Topic

If the subject of online safety can sometimes come across as somewhat dull, New Zealand did its best to grab people's attention by using “porn actors” as part of a new campaign.

In the ad, a nude pair named Derek and Sue greet a hapless mother, telling her that her son has just been watching them on a hilariously long list of devices – including on “PlayStation” and a “projector.”

The pair then insist on having a talk with the boy, Matt, about what he saw them doing, stressing that it’s not reality.



The ad is part of a campaign to raise awareness that actions online can have real-world impacts. Along with cyberbullying and ease of access to violent content, the ads target the various pitfalls children and teens can face while surfing the web.

The “porn actors” ad is aimed at educating young web-users on the difference between what they see in pornography and what they might encounter in a real relationship.

The ad follows a study published in December 2019 that claimed an alarming number of young people use the internet as their first and primary tool to learn about sex.

Good ad.

Old news for me, although being 60, almost everything is old news for me. Porn played a great role in me deciding how NOT to be with a partner when I was about 19.
