Your relationship may be against the law - No, we aren't talking about pre-Lawrence statutes in Virginia. Instead it's the Health Department's new program aimed to deter adults from having sex with underage partners. (By the way, we're talking straight sex here, as the point is to curtail teen pregnancies.)

To be launched in NoVa, Richmond and Roanoke, the campaign will start with the distribution of hundreds of thousands of coasters, cocktail napkins and postcards but is expected to ramp up to billboards. Wonkette thinks the suggestive nature of the advertising -- with slogans like "Sex with a minor. Don't go there." and "Isn't she a little young?" -- will backfire. And I guess Norfolk isn't part of the campaign because, well, sailors need something to do on liberty, right?
