Vampire Weekend Promote Safe Sex In MTV PSA
If you’ve tuned into MTV over the past week or so, you’ve probably noticed in between seemingly marathon episodes of The Hills that the network has been airing brief promos featuring Vampire Weekend (including one where frontman Ezra Koenig confesses his hatred of Spencer Pratt). Obviously the talented band had plenty of buzz without being co-opted by MTV, so it’s awesome to see a longer spot featured on the network where the guys humbly and entertainingly promote safe sex rather than themselves. Although it may be easier to imagine the Columbia-educated band fighting werewolves rather than riding a city bus, the clip is amusing and contains more prophylactic slang than a Diablo Cody spec script!
