Canadian Sex Ed Game is Weird but Informative

It doesn't promote abstinence! Not any more than usual, anyway... Wonder Vag is a big fan of sex after marriage, and Power Pap (really? Really?) is sexually active. Did anyone else notice the "wrong answer" sound effect is the beat from The Thing? That's a cool touch.
It gets creepier. If you fail a question, you get... hit... by one of the Sperminator's evil sperm... in the face. Doesn't matter what character you are, either. Why did someone in my community make this?!

OH. MY. GOD.Logan Westbrook said:Canadian Sex Ed Game is Weird but Informative
A Canadian health authority has enlisted the help of its target demographic to make an educational videogame about safe sex.
The Sperminator is threatening the city, and only Captain Condom, Power Pap, Willy the Kid, and Wonder Vag, better known as 'The Sex Squad', can stop him from covering the world in his evil sperm.
No, that's not a joke. He also has penis-shaped hands, and that's not a joke either.
Adventures in Sex City is a educational game made by the Middlesex-London Health Unit of London, Ontario in collaboration with a group of 16-20 year olds and the youth mental health organization Mind your Mind [http://www.mingyourmind.ca].
Gameplay is simple, you get asked a bunch of questions about safe sex, and when for every right answer, you deflect one of the Sperminator's 'shots' back at him. Answer enough questions correctly, and the Sperminator will be cured of the sexually transmitted disease he's picked up and the city will be saved. Answer incorrectly and you won't raise your condom shield in time and the Sperminator's shot will hit you, but you'll still get an explanation of the answer.
The local Catholic education authority has already banned the game from its schools, and there are likely to be parents and teachers who find the game inappropriate, but personally, I applaud any effort to educate young about sex. Maybe next time make it sound less like a dodgy hentai movie though, eh? You can try Adventures in Sex City for yourself here. [http://www.healthunit.com/sectionList.aspx?sectionID=378]

I am really embarrassed to be a Canadian, but oddly proud at the same time. This may be a home run over the side of weird, but hey, at least they're trying to raise awareness about safe sex, so it's a win in my books.
AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHHAHHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAH
I am so sorry.
I put the rest in a spoiler

I get all that, I played the game, I have kids and I promote healthy responsible sexual choices including abstinence. I want to know precisely why Cheesebob believes promoting abstinence is bullshit.ParadoxBG said:
Oh dear.
If you play as Power Pap, and accidentally get one of the questions wrong, one of the responses you can get is "Not in the face!" when the Sperminator hits you.
I lold.

I'm pretty sure that's fake, but it's utterly hillarious. I love Mario talking in the Italian accent, then Luigi coming along and talking normally. (Note i'm not saying Italians aren't normal, but even Italians don't speak like thatIrridium said:

With a title like Adventures in Sex City I'd expect to see something a little more interesting [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-XQg7WJmZjg].
Still, it's genuinely educational fun, so good for them.
Also, I find that Mario video definitively lacking in Princess Peach.

Dude, this is SO awesome. And you should be proud regardless of what others do. What's really embarrassing is the current 15 year old abstinence percentage, which is 75%. It's shameful. THIS is something to be proud of. Not to mention winning the first gold medal on Canadian land 10 minutes ago. BOO-YA-KA-SHAAAAAAAAAAAAAA! Seriously, I'm embarrassed by you're sentiment if we're going to play this game.Kimarous said:
Y'know what's scarier than "Sex Ed City" or whatever?siffty said:0_0 ....... um
The fact that I noticed that the background of the ROFLcopter is a slightly lighter shade of white than the Escapist background.
Random, but I just felt like sharing it.
