Poor taste/Offensive

I just saw a commercial adverstiment on MTV for MTV's spring break week special. The tag line at the end was "Let mating season begin" It was based on a kind of national geographic/animal planet theme. I found it to be in poor taste. With all the campaigns for getting tested for Aids and sexually tranmitted dieases (MTV even runs their own ads for this cause), and they seem to be saying that it's ok to go on spring break and sleep with random people. I just think that my generation (which seems to be in their target market) needs more than that. I think you have to be on one side or the other. Don't pull for kids like us to change the world and crap like that and encourage us to sleep around?. I know that sex sells, thats been proven, but it's getting old. It's been done, and I'm over it. I've seen their spring break stuff before - it's the same every year, and gets increasing worse evach year. The same college kid looking to hook up, getting wasted, puking, waking up to random strangers, getting drunk again, gettting naked, and hooking up all over again.
