Hey again... I know, I know... two posts in one day?!?  smthng must be wrong in the world.  ;)

I'm on a local motorcycle mailing list, and it's normally full of drivel.  But, today there was actually smthng posted that I feel like passing along.  If you really want to know what list, ask me and I'll tell ya.  I don't want to post it because I know the spam bots will be all over it like white on rice.  Suffice to say, it's based around Washington DC, so if you live in Idaho, don't worry about it.

Anyway, there was a post about an advertisement that targets motorcyclists.  Specifically it targets helmet use (or lack thereof).  Anyone who's had a bike, been around bikers, whatever... has probably heard the arguement and legislation issues revolving around wearing helmets.  Certain "organizations" are wholeheartedly against helmet laws (for those not familiar with motorcycle issues, this means that there are a lot of bikers who do NOT want to wear helmets).  They get a lot of press, they get a lot of face time on TV and in newspapers, etc.  But, we rarely hear anything about the reasons to wear a helmet, other than the usual political drivel about how much it will raise insurance, how much it will "burden the state", yada, yada, yada.

Well, this one takes a different tack and drives the point home to the individual.  I thought it was pretty cool and hope to see it on televisions all over the place.  It's a message that needs to be heard.  Check it out on Street Anatomy.
