"Most kids hate sex ed, because who wants to sit there with your friends while some weirdo P.E. teacher puts a condom on a banana?" Jimmy Kimmel said on Wednesday's Kimmel Live. Schools are clearly doing it wrong, because "if you want to communicate with teenagers, you have to speak their language — and their language is primarily emojis." So in less than a minute, Kimmel explained "how babies are made," using only the emojis you might find on your smartphone. It's surprisingly instructive, and mostly safe-for-work, and if a teenager has the attention span to last all 45 seconds, it's probably even a more effective pregnancy-prevention tool than, say, simulator baby dolls.
