Proud to be a New Mexican!
ARTESIA - Suzzanna Martinez started a
campaign - not for public office - but more as a
tongue-in-cheek protest at having a charge
added to a restaurant bill for chips & salsa.
Appearing this past week with Mike Jaxson on
KZ-93, Martinez discussed the song as well as
her web site, proudtobeanewmexican.com.
Although it started as a family joke, the rallying
cry of "orale" should unite all New Mexicans, at
home and abroad, in the pursuit of free chips &
salsa!
Check out the video, check out the web site and
wear your "Proud to be a New Mexican where the
chips and salsa are free" T-shirts proudly.
Bumper stickers now available!
Texting danger displayed in graphic PSA
A PSA on texting while driving has been
produced and released in the UK - apparently,
some US officials and citizens consider it too
"graphic" to be aired in the US. However, for
teen drivers - a group that not only employs
texting more often but is also less experienced
behind the wheel - it could be a life-saving event.
Those deeming it too graphic are probably not
the parents of teens. Many of the movies and
video games they enjoy are more graphic than
the announcement.
Drivers, regardless of age or experience, need to
understand how dangerous any distracting event,
like texting, can be when you're driving, even in
light traffic.
Mike Brody, Special Contributor to Wood TV in
Grand Rapids, Michigan reported on a poll
advocating US airing.
Most Americans who viewed a British Public
Service Announcement (PSA) illustrating the
dangers of texting and driving say they are less
likely to text while driving, according to a new poll.
The majority of Americans also say the
controversial PSA should be aired in the U.S.
The study was conducted by HCD Research
using its MediaCurves.com Web site on Aug. 25,
to obtain viewers' perceptions of a recent PSA
from the U.K. which features graphic scenes to
emphasize the dangers of texting while driving.
The PSA is considered to be too graphic and
controversial to be aired in the U.S. at this time.
After watching the PSA, 80 percent of the 300
viewers reported that they are less likely to text
while driving, and 85 percent reported the PSA
should be shown in the U.S.
"As evidenced by our automated response
curves, the PSA clearly resonated with American
viewers, particularly during and after the crash
sequence when the effective levels spiked
dramatically," noted Glenn Kessler, president and
CEO, HCD Research.
The study also revealed that the majority of
viewers (87 percent) believe that the PSA is
appropriate in nature, and 86 percent also
indicated that the PSA was extremely effective. In
addition, 79 percent reported that they would be
likely to forward the PSA to friends and family.
WARNING: Viewer discretion advised. The
video is graphic and may be offensive to
some viewers.
