Ed: Team, as you all know, the nation is currently faced with a grave public health crisis-- the unchecked spread of AIDS. Today this agency has taken on a new client whose product is not recommended by The Surgeon General as an important preventative measure. Ladies and gentlemen, I won't mince words. This isn't just another advertising campaign! This is nothing less than a public service mission! To promote the practice of safe whoopee! Mike: Safe what? Voice: What's the product, Ed?
