"Wait, I can have sex AND become an engineer?! HOLY SHIT!!!"
- Nathaniel Payne
Ummmm. Ok, Q2: who -thinks- of these things?
- Jaemi Kehoe
You didn't listen to the opening statements in Engineering 101, did you? I remember it well. It went "None of you will every know a woman intimately."
- Slappy Line
Strip out the "sex can wait!" part and this can be used for lots of other fun scare campaigns like DON'T COPY THAT FLOPPY!
- Daniel J. Pritchett
Yeah, you know what? I waited. My job is boring. I shoulda had the sex.

Terrible ad. Do they ever proof read? Bad on more than one level.

Engineers don't have sex. A designer draws up a physically-impossible plan and expects the engineer to do it in a short span of time and under budget.
- Steven Cains
It's because he wants to build a sex engine first.

Morton FTW! Talk about perpetuating a sterotype... don't they know geeks are sexy these days?

"An engineering student was walking across campus when another engineer rides up on a shiny new motorcycle. "Where did you get such a great bike?"asked the first. The second engineer replied, "Well, I was walking along yesterday minding my own business when a beautiful woman rode up on this bike. She threw the bike to the ground, took off all her clothes and said, 'Take what you want.'" The first engineer nodded approvingly, "Good choice; the clothes probably wouldn't have fit.""

i think its more trying to hit on that having sex can lead to pregnancy and disease, which would sidetrack said plans.
- Tony Kanzia
True, especially when sex is almost a past time of the poor in 3rd world countries. So I think the ad works.

LOL...no wonder engineers are so uptight!
- JA Castillo
...I was thinking more along the lines of civil engineers! :-D

What is the actual message? Seriously - why would waiting for sex determine whether or not he can be an engineer? What is the purpose of the wait? Is it something about grades? Are they trying to prevent black people from breeding?

Have sex = could have a child. Have a child = costs LOTS of money = no college. I think. Pretty big leap for a billboard ad, if it is. Doubtful the intended recipients get the message.

There's one I see on my way to work that says "Sex can wait. Your future can't." And I always think "What if my future is as a sex worker?"

i went to an engineering school. out of all those 1000s of guys, there were probably 2 who had this problem. the rest, while not being constantly stoned/drunk and/or playing risk/D&D were actively engineering ways to get a girl within 20 ft. of them outside the classroom.
