The moral of this Public Service Announcement is clear: everyone on the Internet is a pedophile, especially the local ticket-taker. (Great casting.) Also, teens today are apparently especially stoic, or that girl isn’t much of an actress.

In reality, this ad is much more about fame than about privacy. Assuming this girl has become some sort of Internet sensation, then these scenes represent the dark side of being a modest celebrity unprepared for fame. In what should have been a cut-and-dry exercise in telling kids not to post their addresses online, does this PSA really worry that children will become too famous too quickly?

Also, this ad is inaccurate: I’ve been running this blog for almost a year, and no vaguely cute boys ever glanced at me because of it. No winsome girls, no Asian men, nothing. I did get more playing time though.
