I chose to download a video about underage drinking, since that is what I am doing my video on for Project #2. The video I chose is called "Binge Drinking: Girl's Night Out."
In this video it shows how a drunk underage girl would stereotypically look after a night out of drinking. But instead of it being the end of the night it is the beginning. The catch phrase at the end is "You wouldn't start the night looking like this, so why end the night looking like this?" It really gets the point across that drinking is not a glamorous thing, but leads to poor choices, and disgusting habits.
Under fair use I could use this in my classroom for teaching purposes, which is great, since this is address one of the core standards for understanding media messages and addressing alcohol use. A good website I found for downloading these videos is Keepvid.com. It downloads the video for you really quick and easy, I definitely recommend it.
Wow, that's a great idea for an anti-drinking commercial. You are right, it really gets the point across. Thank you for this resource! I haven't tried Keepvid; I use a firefox download (https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/13990/).
