Another marketing genius
Watching the football game tonight I saw several commercials for a Human Papilloma Virus vaccine study that's being conducted right now. The ads go through all the statistics (affects approximately 1 in 2 women, causes cervical cancer, etc...) and so forth.
The bizarre part was the catch phrase they're using in their effort to find study subjects - "pass it on". After every fact they read off about HPV, a woman's voice says "pass it on". The website for the study is even http://www.passitonstudy.com/.
Now maybe I'm just confused about the concept of the vaccine, but aren't they actually trying to prevent it from being passed on?
