UC - Unleashed Cookies? V4 Layout is Live
Posted on: Mon May 28, 2007 08:43 AM
New layout. Not much to say about it, other than I wanted to keep things a bit more spartan with this layout...all that red was getting to me!
I'll leave you today with a few PSA's from around the world; all of these are horrifying and put any of the ones you'd see in America to shame. Enjoy. (NOTE: NSFW):
First up, Australia (Courtesy of Australia's TAC)
Christmas Driving
Just 10 KPH Less...
Every K Over is a Killer
Bush Telegraph
Ireland really knows how to drive the point home:
Speeding Kills - THINK!
After watching all of these, I must say I'm VERY disappointed with the anti-drunk driving PSA's I've seen on TV over here in the US. Compared to the ones above, they're quite timid! Case in point:
Pizza Delivery
See what I mean? Humor might get a *guffaw* from the viewer, but it doesn't affect viewers as much as realistic violence; I think the reason the foreign commercials succeed is because they show the horrible reality of DWI accidents and don't sugarcoat it in "cuteness".
Those videos should keep you occupied for the next day or two; I have another rant waiting on the wings, so look for that sometime next week. Enjoy the rest of your weekend, and if you're a fellow America, have a great Memorial Day and never forget the sacrifices of those who came before us. Our freedom came at a price, so take a moment tomorrow and thank those who died fighting to preserve our liberties.

The quiz told me that I'm a "High-Level Nerd. You are definitely MIT material, apply now!!!"
Stupid quiz, I DID apply, and they didn't take me...but if the quiz recommended that I was MIT material, and if we assume that the quiz thinks I would get accepted, then because I wasn't accepted, the quiz is WRONG :O
EDIT:
Holy crap, its the 100th post! Congratulations to me on managing 100 sometimes mundane, sometimes informative posts! Here's to 100 more! :D
