Another Stupid PSA: Come to the Forest!


Public Service Announcements really chap my hide!  They are nothing more than the feral government using our tax dollars to propagandize us

I'm not just bellyaching. My solution is at the bottom of this post.

Aggressive texting is bad...  Ask questions to protect yourself from predatory lenders...  Don't post naked pictures of yourself on the internet...  Bla bla bla.  Are we really so stupid we need to be told these things by a government that can't even balance its checkbook?

Come to the Forest!
I really hate that Come to the Forest PSA!  In one version, some booger slug that sounds like a bad droopy dog imitation tells this kid to come back to the forest where he can hug bugs and visit his friends the rocks and the trees. 

As if that weren't gay enough, another version features bright cheery people luring you to the forest for who knows what nefarious purpose.  The fruity background music sounds like something Barney Frank listens to when he's trolling in his lollipop mobile.

Back in my day, they would have used a Davy Crockett or Daniel Boone theme.  Maybe cowboys, or WW II soldiers killing huns in the Ardennes.  Something heroic that hearkens back to our American frontier spirit.  But nowadays it's all tree hugging and Pocahontas PC circle of life crap.

It ain't a proper Forest Service commercial unless it upsets liberals!  How about some Sara Palin and Uncle Ted?
