Don’t Jerk and Drive seems like it would have been a decent way to teach drivers to remain calm during winter driving conditions, but South Dakota officials have scrapped the plan after a controversy over its second, dirtier meaning.


This week, the state’s Office of Highway Safety decided to pull the Don’t Jerk and Drive campaign after residents got caught up in the masturbation reference.

As South Dakota officials confirmed, the double meaning was actually intended.

“The message is that we’d prefer drivers keep their cars out of the ditch and their minds out of the gutter,” Lee Axdahl, director of the office of Highway Safety, told the Argus Leader.



- Why would you pull it if it was getting the attention you wanted? I think some dipshits got caught with their pants down (see what I did there) and now are claiming they knew all along.
