I always knew what it really meant whenever they beat the D.

I am a clueless European and have absolutely no idea why people think this is funny.

Maybe reading can solve the clueless-nessā€¦ :wink:
(Sais one European to the other, my first reaction was more or less the same).

[/snark] Or maybe you where just making a joke? In that case: Iā€™m sorry, please laugh at me, Iā€™m terribly bad at getting some type of jokes.

Well I read this bit

betray a lack of awareness about what ā€œthe Dā€ means in slang.

but given my complete lack of awareness about what ā€œthe Dā€ means in (presumed) young peopleā€™s slang, it doesnā€™t much help? Drugs? Doughnuts?

Dolce vita. Everyone needs a dolce vita. Not sure why one should think that the campaigners are clueless.

Oh yes, maybe I am wrong.
Pretty sure somebody jumps in to correct me, if, but I assumed/computed that ā€˜The Dā€™ had something tot do with ā€œThe Deedā€. You know, having sex. (you knowā€¦ hihi, giggle, how dare they use that reverence/mix up in a public campaign ohhā€¦)

Given that both sex and vitamin D are pretty decent antidepressants, the campaign is spot on in both ways.

I, for me, would say: Great campaign! Go on!

Michael Diamond, rapper extroidinare, goes by Mike D for short.

Got rhymes that are rough and rhymes that are slick
Iā€™m not surprised youā€™re on Mike D!

@Stynx @nickpheas D could stand for Douche (everyone has to poop), but most gutter minded people here are misreading it as dick (penis)

The Mike stands for money and the D is for diamonds
