Jul 30 2009 You've Got To Quit, Smoking Will Kill Us All!
I swear, these public service announcements are getting a little out of hand. That said, here's the latest:
PUBLIC SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENT: Reading Geekologie makes you more attractive to the opposite sex. Also, the same sex. Every time you tell a friend about Geekologie a baby unicorn gets its horn and stabs the devil IN HIS CROTCH. Help poke holes in the devil's nads by telling as many people as possible about this great website. Thank you and have a Thirsty Thursday.

Feb 9 2009 Invading The Real World!: Fake Parking Tickets Used To Spread Computer Viruses
Hackers operating around Grand Forks, North Dakota (not to be confused with Giant Spoons, South Dakota) have been issuing fake parking tickets in order to get their victims to download viruses from a website.
Drivers found the following message on the yellow ticket on their windscreen: "PARKING VIOLATION This vehicle is in violation of standard parking regulations".
The ticket then instructed drivers to visit a website, where drivers could "view pictures with information about your parking preferences".Anti-virus firm McAfee says the Vundo Trojan then gets users to install a fake anti-virus scanner.
Listen folks, if you don't want to fall victim to this sort of scam, you need to do what I do: not be a senior citizen.

Thanks to Bungo, who doesn't pay parking tickets because they're just a sorry attempt by the man to keep him down.
Aug 19 2008 Now With Movement!: Slow Motion Bullets
Yesterday we had still images of bullet destruction, and today -- video! It's actually a PSA created by a London radio station's "Peace on the Streets" campaign against gun violence. Just watch it. Then argue in the comments section about gun control like you all love to do. I'm not taking sides though because I'm an unbiased reporter, but I will say this: I once brought a knife to a gunfight and accidentally stabbed myself pretty bad.
Thanks to Charlie, who knows that the pen is mightier than the WMD.
Aug 7 2008 Dark Knight PSAs With Batman And The Joker
This is a public service announcement featuring Batman and The Joker reminding you about the importance of wearing sunscreen. It's one of several announcements made by the Dark Knight and his arch-nemesis for the good of the public. I posted two more after the jump, one on bike safety and one about taking time out of your day to have fun. Unfortunately, there isn't one about the importance of staying in school. So kids: stay in school. You don't have to go to college, but I do recommend it if you want to experiment with drugs and alcohol.
Hit the jump for two more and a link to several others.

Jun 11 2007 Importance Of Seat Belts
This is a PSA on the importance of seat belts. I'm a little curious how they managed to film it though. Either they've got some really good special effects guys or they just murdered two people.
Watch the video after the jump.
