Are You Getting Enough "D"? This Canadian Health Organization Needs To Know

"How do you do the D?"
The good-hearted, well-intentioned Canadian folks of Yukon Health and Social Services recently launched a campaign encouraging people to up their vitamin D intakes. Only, it was tainted by some poor phrasing.
Some really, really poor phrasing.
Aside from apparently having no one under the age of 45 working for them, we can conclude that the health services organization is not...how do you put it...with the times.
Regarding the following sentence - "Need a little help...with your Daily D?" Is it a slogan for:
A. An Amsterdam Red Light District establishment
B. A local discount sex toys depot
C. A Canadian health services organization
If you answered C, you'd be lying out of your ass...and also right.
As far as who Yukon is targeting for the campaign? Everyone. Everyone needs more D in their lives. Even this 30-something dude, who didn't even know it.
Hey, some people arrive at the conclusion later than others.
The only who seemed to know anything (and everything) was wrong with the campaign was this dog.
Unsurprisingly, the mammoth faux pas of a campaign has gained a ton of attention on social media.
"A second glance might have helped," indeed. Then again, they probably could've given it 1,000 glances and not noticed anything.
Yukon Health and Social Services, from the bottom of our hearts, thank you. You've endowed us with many a laugh. Just promise us you won't be too hard on yourselves.
