Public Service Announcement – Warning Profanity

Posted by Hazman Aziz On October - 24 - 2009Comments Off

Interesting public announcement to encourage youth to continue their studies. I guess one day I also should do a public announcement, as social librarian to encourage youth to go to libraries too.

First Draft
Hi I’s social librarian, Hazman Aziz
Every year, there are still a lot of kids are born into proverty
Their cities has no libraries
When they are no libraries
Literacy will not be able to take place
Not to mention school
Libraries, today are such a wonderful place
Books, all kind of books, for you to borrow
Computers, for you to surf into the online work
Activities, for you to particpate into the social activities
Embrace, for you to gain knowledge through simply aware what it is happening around you
Well, let’s save the libraries and turn it into our place
A place for study, interact, play
For the future …

Megan’s public announcement is good as it corresponded to Obama’s speech on “The White House – Blog Post – Taking on Education“.

In the news …

Oct. 23 (Bloomberg) — Facebook Inc. is tapping virtual farmers, mafia dons and online pets to generate cash from the social-networking Web site’s 300 million users.

The company is testing a payment system to gain a cut each time an online-game player buys a digital tractor, weapon or hat on the site. That would give Facebook a piece of the hundreds of millions of dollars that are being pulled in by Zynga Inc., creator of “Farmville” and “Mafia Wars,” and Playfish Inc., maker of “Pet Society.” The social-games market will almost triple to $2 billion by 2012, estimates ThinkEquity LLC.
