Sexual Assualt Prevention PSA Sells Clocks

In perhaps one of the most boring, oddly crafted, amateurishly created PSAs of all time, the National Sexual Violence Resource Center is out with a :15 which will appear on the CBS Super Screen in New York’s Times Square. If you haven’t seen it yet, check it out below.

Of the campaign, NSVRC Director Karen Baker said, “Approximately 20 percent of the population will experience some form of sexual violence in their lifetime. These crimes impact children, families, coworkers and communities; and the majority of which – nearly 63 percent – are never reported. With 1.5 million people passing through Times Square each day, this PSA provides a unique opportunity to get them involved in sexual violence prevention.”

That is if they don’t mistake it for a classroom clock commercial.

And what’s with that musical editing screw up at the end?
