Don't Jerk And Drive Campaign Pulled

SIOUX FALLS, SD - A new ad campaign aimed at keeping drivers safe on South Dakota roads, received a bigger negative response than expected. It was so strong that state leaders decided to pull it.

We're talking about an ad that the Department of Public Safety began airing a little over a week ago. The ad campaign is titled "don't jerk and drive."

It was to remind drivers not to overcorrect by jerking the wheel if they started drifting off the road. But now the state says the ad is inappropriate.

Here is a statement from Trevor Jones, Secretary, S.D. Dept. Of Public Safety:

"I decided to pull the ad. This is an important safety message and I don't want this innuendo to distract from our goal to save lives on the road."

LMAO

They should have made their motto.... Don't jerk the wheel and drive, there's only 10 people that live in SD let's not take us to the single digits!!

Once. When I was like 18. Not worth it.

There's nothing wrong with jerking and driving. Jerking WHILE driving can cause problems however.

Hands on the wheel at 10 and 2.

NOT 12 and 6, 12 and 6, 12 and 6, 12 and 6, 12 and 6, 12 and 6, 12 and 6, 12 and 6...

Admit it. You never got to 12.

Gives whole new meaning to drive-by shooting

Guy I went to HS with was found jerking it in the Venture parking lot. Forever more he was known as quickfist.

Hahaaa.

First no drinking, then no texting, and now this.

How's a guy supposed to enjoy a car ride?

Car jacking.

Thanks Bin Laden.

I guess my favorite boar won't be riding shotgun any more.

It's probably a good message however you take it.
