Funny how this ad which first appeared in 1977, is suddenly relevant again. Still, I reckon it could work again. What do you think?

Watch the video here, which Richard found!

it worked in 1977 maybe it can work over thirty years later… the tv commercial was just as great (as seen via link) :D although i don’t remember either the poster or commercial… oh! that’s right maybe i wasn’t born yet ;)

We have an original copy of this poster in our office. We love Star Wars and vaccines. May the Force Be With YOU!

Any bet if we started using this, despite the fact it’s in the public domain according to the source, lucas will still come after anyone and everyone for copyright infringement.

Great poster! I wrote a little article on the subject of Jenny McCarthy and the anti-vax crowd on my little blog recently. If you’d like to take a peak, it’s http://livelikedirt.blogspot.com/2009/05/jenny-mccarthy-vs-science.html

Thanks. I love the podcast and all the hard work you’re doing to help spread scientific understanding!

I was only one when that ad went to air, but I seem to have vague memories of it. It might have been used for a few years…or I might have repressed memories.
