Sort of. We’re going to make it the PSA of the Week whether it likes it or not. Here’s today’s question: are you afraid of shots? Or perhaps the question is, are you opposed to shots? There are people out there who reject on various grounds the vaccinations that have all but eradicated such scourges as polio and measles. In …
PSA of the Week
In this case, PSAs of the Week. Here are three outstanding Public Service Announcements created for the Washington D.C. Humane Society. Powerful stuff. Don’t be a dog owner who is a dog abuser.

Some schools still have their proms ahead. With those general themes in mind, here are a couple of images from public service ads, both with a sobering …
A PSA for Today
