Cole is the head of Iconix, a company that makes the Candie’s line of teen fashions. A couple of years ago, under fire from critics who accused him of dressing high schoolers like tarts, he established the Candie’s Foundation, which fights teen pregnancy. And there he was Wednesday introducing the foundation’s new teen ambassador, Bristol Palin.

Bristol Palin’s new gig: Promoting teenage sexual abstinence - Salt Lake Tribune

So to fight teen pregnancy you hire a teen with a kid?  Doesn’t that send a message to the next Iconix “ambassador” that to get the top spot of warning the world of the consequences of sex requires having lil’ one hanging from your teet?

What about codoms?

Seems like a cynical phrasing of human behavior. ”Live and learn” is a pleasant appreciation for the possibility of a beneficent Bristol Palin ambassadorship.
