Earlier today, the Office of the Director of National Intelligence released a brand new video “showcasing security tips for U.S. travelers abroad.” And what a showcase it is. The seven-minute clip, while full of helpful little tidbits, can actually be boiled down to a single sentiment: TRUST NO ONE, AND GET A BURNER…
Instagram's most famous overcompensator, millionaire fake breast enthusiast Dan Bilzerian, was arrested in December on felony explosives charges as he returned from allegedly kicking a woman in the face at Art Basel. Two months later, he's now free and clear after pleading no contest to a lesser charge and…
When Singapore legalized casinos back in 2005, it also established a National Council on Problem Gambling to produce educational messages about the devastation gambling addiction can cause to lives and families. Leading up to the World Cup, the Council released a heartbreaking PSA to discourage football fans from…
Writing exactly what happens in the PSA above will kind of spoil the magic, so I'll just say this: It involves two kids enthusiastically sword-fighting with a pair big ol' dildos in the front lawn while their horrified mothers look on.
It was clear many years ago that drugs have won the drug war. But what about the anti-drug commercials, those great cultural icons of our youth? Turns out that the smart money just gave up on that shit.
The U.S. Navy has had some recent trouble with bath salt usage among its sailors, so they did what any forward thinking branch of the military would do: They released a bizarre PSA about the drug. According to the video, at least one of the following will occur if you ingest bath salts: 1) you'll vomit, 2) you'll…
The video above will be the new "What is the Internet, anyway?" in 20 years, when we look back on the "cyberbullying" frenzy through the lens of the stilted discourse that defined it. In it, Justin Bieber dons his smart-guy glasses, flatly delivers a plea to use the Internet to make "a positive impact on the world,"…
Oh dear. Ashton Kutcher and his old lady Demi Moore are apparently, and justifiably, upset about human trafficking. So upset, in fact, that they called up some of their celebrity friends — Justin Timberlake, Jamie Foxx, the Old Spice guy - and had them make anti-slavery ads. Good for them! Too bad the ads are…
In this AIDs awareness video that would probably never air in the US, we see a penis doing calculus, writing a memoir, and diffusing a bomb, all the while teaching us one valuable lesson: "clever dicks wear condoms".
This "Let's Talk About Sex" film is trying to send a big message, literally... if the Washington Monument protects itself, you should too. And word on the street is, the Washington Monument is kind of a whore.

Doug E. Fresh takes on a new persona, this time, he's a concerned fellow citizen. The next time you come across an elderly person ask yourself, F.A.S.T? You may find yourself thanking him later.
This beautiful driving safety PSA from Uira Lamour highlights the dangerous driving distraction of looking down to use your iPod while driving. Even more amazing is the knowledge that the entire second part of the video was created with CGI.
Do-as-I-say-not-as-I-do abstinence spokesperson Bristol Palin and Jersey Shore's aggressive hook-up artist The Situation aren't the best choices for an abstinence PSA, mostly due to their bad acting skills. They also use the word "situation" 17 times in two minutes. Awful.
Gay Googlers have added their voices to the "It Gets Better" campaign against teen suicide. This is a rich and well edited collection of stories, and it's heartening to realize the participants landed at a company as selective as Google.
New York nightlife habitué and world-famous transsexual Amanda Lepore made an "It Gets Better Video" of such stunning and hilarious simplicity, we had to turn it into a dance music video. This will prevent gay teen suicide—with laughter.
With NYC Mayor Bloomberg backing a law which would make city parks and beaches off limits for smoking, take a tip from Star Wars' C-3PO and R2-D2, and kick the habit. If only anti-smoking PSAs were still this overbearing...
Watch a group of worried grandchildren express their concern for the 88-year-old actress in this fake Public Service Announcement begs the question "Betty White can save TV, but should she have to?"
One To Grow On were public service announcements that aired directly after cartoons during NBC's Saturday morning lineup. From 1983-87, many famous faces graced the airwaves with tales of morality. Here's Jason Bateman's plea to stop "blasting in public."
