From the viewpoint of a parentwho worries about teen pregnancy, he would not be the best spokesman, for teenage pregnancy, because he is not married and has 2 kids! GOOD!

It's no one's business but their own whether Johnny and Vanessa get married or not as long as they're happy and their children are happy and well taken care of. Advertisers for condoms are not soley advertising to a teenage market. People of all ages use condoms. In addition, Johnny Depp is loved by people of all ages ... not just teenagers so why would you assume that the advertisements would be targeted at teenagers??? Even if Johnny were advertising condoms on TV, the ads have nothing to do with whether he's married or not. The ads are promoting safe sex - not just specifically birth control. If Johnny appeared in the ads and it got the attention of teenagers who think Capt. Jack is cool or Johnny is cool, then what do you care whether he's married or not? If the ad got their attention and caused them to think and to be safe, then the ad served it's purpose. Condom ads on TV have nothing to do with marriage and they aren't made with the intent of preaching to the public about whether one should get married or not before they have sex. Johnny didn't have his first child until he was 35 years old and he has been with the mother of his children for 10 years...much more than can be said about 50% of marriages that end in divorce these days and tear families apart. How well does that serve children??? What sort of a role model is that for kids? I'll stick with Johnny as a good role model for kids and adults of all ages. Well…someone certainly is judgemental! It’s no one’s business but their own whether Johnny and Vanessa get married or not as long as they’re happy and their children are happy and well taken care of.
