Afternoon all!
You may have been wondering what we’ve been up to on Big Talk these past few days. What with our random pictures of puppets and rather provocative YouTube videos…
Well today I can let you know that, after our successes over the Summer with MTV’s Staying Alive Foundation on “StandByWhatYouSay” we here at SpinVox have teamed up the guys again for a new project…
…and this time we’ve invited Lapeno, Ed and Merv from MTV’s Fur TV to help us promote sexual health amongst you young folk by “Telling It Like It Is“.
Here are the facts from the press release:
- ‘Telling It Like It Is` - www.tellingitlikeitis.tv - is a groundbreaking initiative that encourages young people to speak openly about sex, sexual health and HIV/AIDS
- Young people interact with the campaign via a website – www.tellingitlikeitis.tv - and via a dedicated telephone number to discuss issues relating to sex, sexual health and STIs.
- The campaign uses the SpinVox service to automatically convert voice messages into text that is then posted directly onto the site’s blog.
- The campaign, which marks the 10th anniversary of Staying Alive, will be launched through a series of television infomercials (please see the video link) that will debut during the MTV Europe Music Awards on November 6th
- The infomercials, fronted by Lapeno, Mervin and Ed, will cover issues relating to safe sex and the fact that `rubber rocks` - the use of condoms in ensuring sexual health.
- Topics will include the risks of sex without a condom, the embarrassment factor in buying them and whether they reduce sensitivity during sex
- Viewers who contribute to the Telling It Like It Is website will receive a Rubber Ring, a novel pledge ring that shows the wearer won’t have sex without a condom.
- The full list of campaign telephone numbers:
UK : 0151 266 7700
US: 1513 729 6417
Canada: 1416 628 8501
Spain: 3493 184 2078
Germany: 4921 123 7061072
France: 3317 666 0863
Ireland: 3531 657 1891
Brilliant.
Tonight, during the show, four videos, not too dissimilar from the one we posted recently, will be shown AT THE AWARDS (so tune in if you can) and you’ll see the Fur TV guys doing their thang…
And hey - while you’re at it - why not get over to the website and TELL IT LIKE IT IS!
WOO WOO!
