Public Service Announcement - Could This Be You?
I came across this interesting video that is a Public Service announcement. I have to caution you that it is a little disturbing but it's an account of what happened that night (from Police records) between Chris Brown and Rihanna. Like I said in my earlier post, she needs to set an example and I'm glad to see that I'm not alone in this thinking. They're in the spotlight and A new video by the teen organization DoSomething.org features actors recreating the pop star's grim, highly publicized confrontation with her boyfriend, singer Chris Brown.
A young man and woman re-enact details from a Los Angeles police affidavit alleging that on Feb. 8, Brown punched, bit and choked Rihanna until she nearly lost consciousness.
A narrator describes the scene in a deadpan voice.
Below is an quote from Nancy Lublin, chief executive officer of DoSomething.org. :
"The brief clip can be viewed on YouTube. It closes with the statistic that one in three teenagers is abused in a relationship, and promotes free bracelets _ one blue, two black _ that spread awareness about dating abuse.
Lublin said the goal is to make people think and change their behavior. The organization used white actors on purpose to shift the conversation away from the celebrity singers."
"The public is very focused right now on Chris and Rihanna," she said. "I think people need to realize that this is an issue that goes beyond those particular people, and it affects everybody of every race. And so we wanted this to not be an exact re-enactment. We wanted instead to say: Could this be you?" (trigger warning)
