VD Is For Everybody (1969)

Anybody remember that Good Times episode when JJ had to go get tested because his girlfriend had VD?

Die? No! Might!

[@moviegirl8648]

The point was that VD didn't and doesn't discriminate by race, age, class, or looks.

[@Billkwando]

Yeah but I feel bad for all the folks in that commercial if they didn't tell them what they were going to be in. Like that episode of Friends where Joey ends up on a VD poster and all the women are avoiding him.

[@BKMediaMan]

@@Billkwando Funny enough, I met a woman, an actress, and attempted to date her. The day after our first phone convo I go into my local pizza parlor and she's on an ad for HIV awareness... I was definitely taken aback! LOL (We never went out, but not because of the ad).

[@mashondaknight9132]

What's the point to this commercial ?

[@brownin329]

To remind people anyone can get it and to encourage them to get information about it.

[@juniorjames7076]

Before these ad campaigns people were too ashamed to even talk about or mention VD in any kind of setting, so if anyone contracted it, or thought they contracted it......stayed silent and didn't ask for help. Commercials like these got more people to talk about VD, got high school students to ask information about if they thought they got it. Same with AIDS, is it better to have people completely silent and never mentioning it, even those who might have it? Or is it better to get people to start talking about it?

[@amarreder6241]

I have jock itch... in case anyone cares 😷

[@Soul_Education]

[@inTha803]

were they really trying to normalize venereal disease?

[@shortlilma125]

Right🤷🏽‍♀️

[@brownin329]

No. They were trying to normalize getting tested.

[@emprssnubia8679]

Seems like, in a sick kind of way

[@Billkwando]

They were trying to say that anyone could have it, no matter how attractive. Basically trying to scare you away from hot people and steer you toward less attractive folks who've had less opportunity to catch VD (ok I made that 2nd part up)

[@crystald8465]

See the "VD gets around" commercial kept it 💯. This commercial makes it sounds romantic 😳

[@monicamumford2902]

The ad shows that normal decent folks can catch a dose. I was 6 years old when this ad came out , I remember liking it but not having clue what is was about.

What this have to do with Black people?

[@Billkwando]

The channel is called reelblack, so they like to highlight black folks on film in whatever form (even a VD commercial). That's the impression I get. I don't think you saw many on TV in the 60's, minus the very notable exception of Nichelle Nichols.

[@TheJayblaze3]

@@Billkwando Ok,thinks for giving me your perspective on this advertisement. The first time I heard of VD is when I saw a episode of Good Times as a child. I think J J had it and I remember saying to myself,why their trying to make this serious issue funny for the audience🤔. As a child,that episode was very disturbing to me,that and the white Jesus episode.
