Footloose
Few things define the 1980's quite like Kevin Bacon fighting for his rights and quoting scripture in Elmore City and dancing into our hearts to the tune of Kenny Loggins. Today I was blessed to relive those wondrous days. I got to watch a 30 minute short produced by Standford University about how to create effective Public Service Announcements for my health communication class. The catch is the short was made in 1986, so all of the good and bad examples were from the 80's and everyone was sportin' great 80's fashion. As I am a magnanimous soul I will share with you an example of an ineffective PSA. Who knew Star Wars could be so awesomely awful? Everyone who has watched the Star Wars Christmas Special that's who.

I have happily kicked off my Sunday shoes many times to old Footloose. They eighties can still live on through us.
On a related (and preachier) note: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YWQgktBR6-w&feature=related
Aw, 80s PSAs. They got anyone and everyone to do them! Even the creeps: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=agT2GVNQjao&feature=related
It's so sad that at the time we didn't know how creepy this man really was.
Still better than Episodes I, II, and III. Let's be honest here.
