I really, really hate the "Foundation For A Better Life". I know that this sounds like an extremely petty thing to complain about, but I am pretty thoroughly convinced that they are a large group of people who are extremely dedicated to being impotent and stupid.
If you haven't seen any of their commercials, they basically involve some sort of "inspirational" scene where people act kind towards their fellow man and all that crap, followed by a voice-over saying: "(positive personality trait), pass it on! A message from the Foundation For A Better Life". Now, I just have one simple question. What exactly do they want these commercials to accomplish? Do they really think that some delinquent who's about to beat someone to death in a bar fight is going to stop himself and think back to some idiotic commercial he saw last night and decide that it's a bad idea? Is this going to change ANYTHING? It's a waste of airtime and money.
Most PSAs aren't much better, but at least the idea behind them makes some sort of sense. Or at least, the ones that actually tell you the REAL dangers of drug use make sense. Not the ones that tell you you'll become deflated or your dog will start talking or something. Of course, these are paid for by the government and all, and I'm not really sure what level of reality those people are operating on.
Come to think of it, does anyone one know if the "Better Life" commercials are government-funded? Because that would be incredibly depressing.
