News on Egypt's Internet Blockage: http://news.cnet.com/8301-31921_3-20029862-281.html
Should there be rights on the use of Internet at all times? I think so!

Cracked Out?!













This is probably one of the best anti-drugs posters I have seen. Clearly, the message is what the effects of using can do to someone. Obviously it states its purpose of the before [drugs] and after  pictures of Lindsay Lohan. Meaning that it doesn't matter who you are-- drugs can make you look cracked out and eventually kill you. Lindsey Lohan has given herself the title, "The most cracked out young hollywood" but even she doesn't look so young anymore. It's not directed to just young females but really to anyone. Anyone can look young, beautiful, and alive before using. However, like Lohan, anyone choosing to use can slowly and painfully die inside and out and look almost like death. I hope Lindsey saw this poster.
