James Lipton Teaches Teens To Think Before They Text

Lindsay — Wed, 02 Dec 2009 12:30:00 EST

In a serious of surprisingly hilarious new PSA's, James Lipton shares his beard with teens contemplating text-based attacks on their exes and rivals, so that they can ponder their actions first. Funniest clip above, three more after the jump.

He was about to send her a pic of his junk:

Terrence Howard's PSA For Bathroom Etiquette

Terrence Howard is notoriously anal (and oddly vocal) about how his girlfriends clean their butts after they poop. So it makes sense that he was spotted in this billboard PSA about personal hygiene. (Click image to view full size.) [BWE]

PSAs: Protect Girls From Everything

Tracie — Tue, 17 Mar 2009 19:00:00 EDT

Did you ever notice how PSAs aimed at girls differ from those aimed at boys, regardless of the topic? Because when girls make poor choices, they end up dead, or worse…sluts!

The clip on the left is an anti-pot PSA in which a girl gets soooooo high on Saturday night that she doesn't remember taking naked pictures on someone's camera phone, which eventually gets passed around. The moral? Smoking marijuana will make you act slutty, and in this hyper-connected age, everyone will find out how slutty you are.

Here's another technology-based PSA. If you're a girl, you'd better be careful about spending time on the internet and networking sites, because everyone you see on the street will know who you are!

Seriously though, girls: should stay off the internet, because it'll only lead to people calling you an ugly slut.

Girls should stay away from cell phones, too, because they only bring about "textual harassment" from boys.

Also, the worst thing about doing crystal meth is that you won't look like a Barbie anymore.

Parents, your daughters will have sex. Don't let them!

Because they might turn into prostitutes!

Also, if your daughter parties, she might get assaulted, and it will be your fault, and hers.

We must protect females from slippery floors!

Sometimes it seems like things haven't changed that much.

Women On The Verge Of A Persistent Orgasm Open Up To 20/20

Slut Machine — Mon, 25 Feb 2008 11:00:00 EST

Constantly being on the verge of an orgasm sounds like it might be fun, but it's actually an awful medical condition known as Persistent Sexual Arousal Syndrome (PSAS). Sufferers of PSAS — who are always female — say that unwanted genital arousal makes it virtually impossible for them to concentrate on anything, even sleep. Identified only six years ago, very little is known about PSAS, including why it happens or how to cure it, leaving sufferers to come up with creative home remedies. (One woman freezes a water-filled condom to numb her entire area!) This past Friday, 20/20 aired a segment all about the medical anomaly, placing its four subjects on a really bizarre — and perhaps totally inappropriate — Skinemax-esque set, with special lighting, and glasses of wine. Clip above.

A PSA print campaign has been launched by...

Slut Machine — Thu, 31 Jan 2008 10:45:00 EST

A PSA print campaign has been launched by the Family Violence Partnership in Milwaukee to combat statutory rape. The ads — featuring pre-pubescent girls with giant breasts — might be creepier than the actual crimes they try to confront, as they could easily be used as beat-off material for pervs. Also, the copy on one ad leaves a lot to be desired, reading "Just because she has the body, doesn't mean she has the brain."
