So there’s this local radio psa against drinking and driving and every time I hear it, I get pissed off. It’s a male narrator, and he says something along the lines of, “Look at the road. You know what you don’t see? My car. Why? Because I sold it to pay for a lawyer because I got a DUI.”
That statement in itself seems pretty ludicrous. But that’s a different post.
What gets me is that he goes on to say, “You know what else you don’t see? My girlfriend. She left because a guy with no car and no money is no fun.”

What the shit.

So, this chick left because the man she was in a relationship with no longer had loads of dough and a sexy car? Really? She couldn’t have left because her boyfriend is a jackass who drives drunk? Or maybe because he has a drinking problem and she’s tired of caring about a guy who constantly puts his life in danger for stupid reasons?

The message comes across not as “Don’t drink and drive because that’s a stupid thing to do.” but “Don’t drink and drive, guys, because you’ll lose all your money. And everyone knows that all women care about is your wallet, AMIRITE.”

:| FU PSA gais.

WHAT? You’re reading this much in to an advert? Sorry to break this to you but there are a LOT of women who will leave a guy because he has no money. But noooo, this is impossible in your world. The sun clearly shines out your asses and you can do no wrong. He has 1 DUI therefore it simply must mean he’s a liar, an alcoholic and he constantly puts his life at risk.
