Abstract / The Still Hungry commercial gives new meaning to the term "short and sweet". The commercial is very short in length, but it is design to make you think for a while. Its purpose is to promote sexual abstinence among teenagers. As the commercial unfolds, various delicious food items are being destroyed as random statistics of Sexual Transmitted Infections are being displayed. One thing that really made the commercial unforgettable was that the manner that which the foods were being destroyed resembles the symptoms associated with the STI that was being talked about. For example, when the fact about one out of every three sexual active teenagers will contract genital warts appeared; a hotdog was being burned and the viewer is able to see little wart like sprouts on it. After about three rotations of food and STI statistics, the commercial concludes by asking: are you still hungry for sex? The last screen of the commercial provides a website that viewers can visit for more information.
