Yes, I did. I see nothing wrong with bringing one's children into the public eye in these cases.
You do as you call it 'pimping'.
Now, you have some perspective. Or not. I suspect you do, but it goes against your character to admit much of anything. That's odd, but that's you.
K.Does Bristol Palin actually appear on teen's radar screens? I tend to think not. She seems to be more well known among the politically minded older population.
Whether she is the right choice for this sort of spokesperson or not, it just doesn't make sense to me why she was chosen if the aim truly is to educate teens. This is just a sweet deal for Bristol. Nothing more.
Apparently, you can't read the information provided by the Charity. Yes, she does register on their radar. Perhaps you should find out before you post? Just an idea.
I'd believe if I heard it from an independent source.
[Emphasis added]In January 2011, the Candie's Foundation commissioned YPulse, a youth media research firm, to conduct a survey with 1,000 14-19 year-olds throughout the United States to compare impact and resonance of celebrity-driven teen pregnancy prevention PSAs with non-celebrity PSAs. Teens viewed four different video PSAs. The two Candie's Foundation PSAs featured Bristol Palin and Jenny McCarthy. The two comparison PSAs were produced by a national teen pregnancy prevention organization and featured non-famous teens. All four PSAs have received comparable national media air time. The tables below outline some of the key findings.

From the Candie's Foundation regarding Bristol Palin's involvement:
the candie's foundation
For ten years, The Candie's Foundation has been working to prevent teen pregnancy by producing and funding celebrity-driven print, television, radio and online public service announcements. Ms. Palin was compensated for her work with the foundation, which included appearing in video and print PSAs, two town hall meetings, and numerous media interviews.
The message of the foundation about teen pregnancy prevention has generated more than ONE BILLION media impressions tremendous reach for any teen pregnancy prevention campaign. We know that Ms. Palin's work has had a positive effect on teens. In a recent independent national survey of 1,000 teens that compared a Bristol Palin PSA with those of nother national teen pregnancy organization that use non-famous teens, more than twice as many teens (57% vs. 27%) said Bristol's PSA "got my attention", three times as many (41% vs. 11%) said it was "powerful", and more than twice as many (38% vs. 16%) said it was "memorable".
Bristol Palin is one of dozens of celebrities who has worked with the foundation. She has been a courageous and powerful partner to the foundation as we attempt to discourage teen pregnancy.
Below the above statement is a link to the research, backing up the campaign.
Shockingly, I was correct. She was not paid $262k for one advert. She was paid for a series of work undertaken with the charity.
So this is just another "I hate Bristol Palin" thread. I really get tired of the Palin-bashing threads.
It does appear that the real issue is her last name.
Every single bullshit 'point' has been systematically blown out of the water... and still they whine.
If you look at the stats you provide, Bristol Palin, while beating out two non celebs and Jenny MCCarthy (isn't she that vaccines cause autism fruitcake?), certainly did not do very well in terms of being a convincing spokesperson.K.Apparently, you can't read the information provided by the Charity.

Are you a paid Bristol Palin spokesperson, CG? If so, I hope they are making it worthwhile to make such a fool of yourself.Apparently, you can't read the information provided by the Charity. Yes, she does register on their radar. Perhaps you should find out before you post? Just an idea.

The charity undertook its own research. You think they want to waste money on a campaign that they haven't researched? Seriously? Is that your stance?
Shouldnt someone that HAS practiced abstinence be the spokesperson for such a thing?
I do admit I cant stand anything Palin, so my opinion is biased and unfair...yes, I do admit that. But still....it seems awfully strange to me they would choose her. A more stable role model would have been better. JMHO.

This further strengthens my suspicion that this was all some back roon deal.
In most areas, Palin and McCarthy did quite well. In the PSA spokesperson category, Palin did at least as well as the other options. Based on the entirety of this research, the foundation made the best non-emotional choice.If you look at the stats you provide, Bristol Palin, while beating out two non celebs and Jenny MCCarthy (isn't she that vaccines cause autism fruitcake?), certainly did not do very well in terms of being a convincing spokesperson.K.I'd believe if I heard it from an independent source.

bristol palin has been hired to be the poster child for teen abstinence for $262K
really? really.
"Teen mom Bristol Palin, now 20, scored $262,000 in 2009 as Candies Foundation ambassador promoting abstinence.
Let me get this straight: Candies paid a teen mom a quarter-million dollars to tell other teens not to become teen moms?
According to the Candies Web site, Palins job which she still has is helping other teens understand the incredible challenges teen parents face, and encouraging them to wait until they are socially and financially independent to start their families.
What incredible challenges? Like walking the red carpet and mastering the paso doble on Dancing with the Stars?"

No, I actually avoid reading anything about the girl, or anyone else with the name Palin. I have no dog in the hunt, other than I think the charity know their business better than a bunch of fools on a forum. I've seen bullshit argument after bullshit argument about this... and each and every one of those arguments has proven to have no basis in reality and fact. I like reality. I like facts. I'm big on logic and not overly fond of emotional responses.

"quite well" ? They all gave a very poor showing.
