    Yaz was my boyhood hero , my thoughts and prayers to him and his family…. Now can we sue that crappy contraceptive company that’s useing hi sname ??

    Unfortunately he never registered it as a trademark so now Yaz is a poppa stoppa.

    does anyone else find it funny they use “We’re not gonna take it” as the theme for the ad? seems kinda opposite of the whole premise because in reality aren’t they taking it? Hence the need for birth control.
