ONLINE Anti-PSA Facebook Group Ad gets negative viewer criticism By TIFFANY STEVENS The Red & Black Horrible, pathetic and embarrassing are some of the words University stu dents and fans are using to describe a University pub lic service announcement that airs during football games. The commercial, which shows a boring class lec ture turned into an excit ing one and University stu dents transformed into veterinarians, researchers and football fans, has gained criticism recently online. “Change UGA’s Commercial,” a Facebook fan page dedicated to gain ing support for anew PSA, has gained more than 850 fans since its creation on Sept. 11 this year. The com mercial has also been dis cussed negatively on the forums of sports website Scout.com. Josh Delaney, Student Government Association president and one of the students featured in the commercial, said he had not heard positive feed back of the commercial. “I get a lot of text mes sages from people who have seen me in it that say ‘Sorry you were in an ‘insert negative adjective here’ commercial,’” he said. “But I haven’t heard a positive thing about it yet.” University officials say the PSA was meant to con vey the positive effect of education on University students.

Richard Menke, a professor in the English department, said he tweets in “microblog” fashion on his personal Twitter account. “In a way that a real blog can offer commentary on things that are on the Web already, sort of a microblog can draw attention to them with brief quips and obser vations,” he said. “Actually, I think that's one of the most use ful things about Twitter, is get ting a sense of conversation about things online especially.” Elizabeth Davis, also an English professor, said when she opened a Twitter account in June of 2009 she initially intend ed to tweet in the same way she updated her status on Facebook. “Then I realized I don’t really want to be doing that.

"Anytime we play where we know it’s going to be loud we try to minimize the amount of checking at the line, because the more you do, the more chances you have of somebody miss ing it. But there are certain things you just need to get out of or there are certain times you need to get your protection right.
