Catchy Cautionary Communications
One of the challenges of the information age is the dilemma of making information useful and compelling.  This month's comment is dedicated to noteworthy health information messages. 

Welcome to my informal gallery of selected messages.  I'm giving out dubious honors to my favorite health ads.

 
Sass awards
"Crissy's curious.  'Can you party and still keep your wits about you?'"
Rosie?  Rosie the Riveter?
Who knew?

 
Potty mouth in Spanish award: (Censorship hasn't reached all corners of public health.)
I'm not gonna tell you what this means, I might burn in hell for it.  Sorry.

 
Most Practical in your wallet or on your night stand Award

 
Short and Sweet Award

 
Here's one I just thought of.  See, anyone can do it.

 
Hey you, want a prize???!!!
Make up a health/social message and send it in.  Everyone who enters gets a prize.  Let us know if we can use your name when we post it.

Send entries to:
bookerf@hotmail.com

or via USPS:
467 Corbett Avenue
San Francisco, CA  94114

There will be a small prize for those who submit their own slogan or drawing for health messages.  Don't forget to send your real address (which we promise to destroy after mailing you your prize).
ÒThanks for sharingÓ to Romy, Greg, Nick, Cynthia, & Charlie at the Center for AIDS Prevention Studies.
