Don't Jerk and Drive

[JamesVincent]

South Dakota is pulling the public safety campaign “Don’t Jerk and Drive,” because officials fear the intentional double entendre could distract from its importance.

The $100,000 campaign, meant to raise awareness about the dangers of jerking the steering wheel in icy conditions, played on the word “jerk,” which can also be a slang term for masturbation, the Argus Leader reported. Officials admitted to the newspaper that the double meaning was intentional.

Brings to mind a question about the prevalence of masturbation while driving in South Dakota.
