DID YOU SEE US AT THE MOVIES?

November 18th, 2008

Hey, did you see High School Musical 3 or SAW IV? 

In case you have been living under a rock (or have not seen the movie), we ran an ad before the start of movies in parts of California and in parts of Texas .  The ad asks a simple question: “Does your relationship need a makeover?”  The question makes you think about your current relationship, drawing attention to the fact that you have rights and deserve to be in a healthy relationship.  We now have a quiz on our website (www.loveisrespect.org or on our Youtube account at ) that asks about your relationship.

We want to hear what you thought about our ad?  Think about all the times you have to be quiet: at school, during a movie (especially High School Musical 3), at church, when your parents are talking to you… the list could go on forever.  Basically, you have to be quiet forever, and your opinion is not highly valued.  We think differently! 

Tell us anything you want, good or bad.  Was the ad cool or stupid?  What parts were your favorites?  Did you tell your friends about the ad?  If you were in charge of making the ad, what would you have done differently?

If you have any questions or want to talk more about the quiz, call or chat with us (oh yeah, we have a chat service that you can access on our website).  This is your chance to be heard, so speak out!
