    From avclub.com:

    Over the years, Ad Council PSAs have warned kids about the dangers of drugs, alcohol, and a saucepan-wielding Rachel Leigh Cook. But with their new "Think Before You Post" PSA campaign, the Ad Council has finally gotten around to warning kids about the one thing that can seduce, maim, and leave them for dead while simultanously making Chris Hansen famous. I'm talking, of course, about that dark menace known as The Internet. One of their PSAs is below:

    Lessons learned:

    1. The Internet will totally make you really popular.

    2. Having a MySpace page that everyone can see is the fast track to fame! (After all, it worked for Dane Cook.)

    3. Getting recognized from the Internet at the mall can be such a hassle, you know?

    4. Inside every high school coach, movie theater usher, and tattooed restaurant worker lurks the dark heart of a pedophile. Either that, or Sarah's blog posts are particularly engrossing.

    5. Nothing says "unfriendly" like a busboy wiping down tables at a beach side cafe.

    I know what this is about, and it wont work.

    Scorponok is just trying to make us lose our trust in PSAs about the internet, because it threatens his predatorial interwebbing.

    I can see through you like a greasy paper plate, Scorp.

    Actually, not a bad public service announcement for empty-headed teenage kids, boys and girls alike.

    Awh, I like it. But they should include a bit about how drinking out of a cup with a pirate outfit on will screw you out of your degree. ;)
