PSA Response

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5mVaSZdwPQY This PSA was a very bad PSA for several reasons:
1. The target audience of the PSA is very limited. The "perfect text message" seems to only appeal to a specific teen audience, one who will not be able to vote in the next coming election anyways
2. There was an attempt for celebrities to be used in place of having just normal people, but the celebrities chosen were not famous or distinguishable
3. The video's production qualities and dated technologies keep this from becoming a reusable advertisement

The Government

In class, we had a debate over who should be allowed to vote, following the original topic of how important it is for people to actually vote. I feel that voting is a privilege that should be exercised by every citizen of this country, but as a nation, we are not intellectually ready to make a worthwhile decision. My biggest ploy on how I feel this should be changed would be to have a system set up that required voters to watch School House Rock, an example of an interesting video that will inform voters on what is necessary to know before voting, and an unbiased candidate profile at every booth. Voting is important, but educated voting is that much more.
