50 Absolutely Brilliant Ads That Were Praised For Their Ingenuity

A reply to our genius BP @Kerry Carolan: you are aware that the BP community consists of all ages and nationalities? And that some might not (yet) know that Germany = Deutschland? You might also be aware of the fact that the pictures titels' not always display/translate to what is written in the picture... So for none German speakers it might be nice to know that in this case the BP headline and the writing in the picture are actually the same! ...Yours sincerely, another insufferable smartass

That's explained in the titles you don't need to be such a pedant (in case you don't know, that means insufferable douche who thinks they're smarter than everyone else)

Funnily enough lots of Greek and Turkish cab drivers have them.

I did not mean to put those questions mark there, don't know how that happens?

Perhaps I'm not understanding your description well, but having the belts meet on your belly instead of your side (or not on any area with bone) puts you at major risk of internal bleeding if you're in a bad enough crash. That's why carseat harness clips are supposed to be over the sternum. The idea is that if you're in a crash that sends you in a forward motion, bony areas (rib cage, pelvis, shoulders) take the sudden impact, instead of the straps hitting your neck or abdomen. I do agree that there should be ways to adjust the height of the diagonal belt (I'm barely tall enough), but for the boobs issue, I can't personally see a way around it.

It's difficult to get a seat belt to fit comfortably and safely when pregnant too. When I was 7 months pregnant, I was rear-ended and the seat belt broke the tip of my bottom ribcage off. Thankfully, that's the only damage that was done and the rib didn't puncture my spleen (the doctors biggest fear). Unfortunately, it healed by reattaching itself to a rib further up so now I have a weird lump that sticks out. I named it Clyde.

are there any working ones today?

Good for you. Much luck in your journey and healing.

Statistics speak for themselves. Money goes where the need is

A lot of men won't report it or admit to it because they feel like they won't be believed or they will be shamed for it. That's the saddest part about it because I know the statistics would be much higher if men would/could report it.

"It's starting to feel like we're approaching the saddest part of the world."

You are right, it's really sad. 😔

My last city changed the family abuse center name to "[Name] Domestic Abuse Center" to accurately reflect men's experience. Men often don't try abuse centers b/c they still think it's for women only. Abuse centers definitely have to question how to reach men they can help, even more so why they don't support men too if they don't. I wish I knew the answers. If any man is reading this, please try your local abuse center before writing them off (I know, easier said than done). Maybe they can at minimum send you to a place that can. If readers don't know how abuse centers work, they have contact info most often b/c the actual center is undisclosed to protect people who flee, esp. from abusers looking for them. So no one can walk up to the center b/c the workers don't know if you're abused or abuser.
