So my mum told me about this the other night but I thought she was bullshitting me coz she read it in the Vietnamese newspaper and who is to say that the content in the Vietnamese newspaper is legitimate.
No offence to foreign papers but some of them - for those of which I can only read the headlines of - they're just articles about nothing. That's not to say that some Aussie publications aren't bad either. Sometimes I'll pick up an article and after reading it, think that they droned on and on, just to make the deadline coz there was space for one more 500-word piece. This may not help with my love of wanting to work for or within magazines but whatever.
Anyways, there's a reason why this post is called 'NSW Police Campaign' and that reason is that the NSW Police are raising awareness of the fact that too many individuals of the Generation Y are dying due to them being ignorant of the oncoming traffic, listening to their ipod whilst crossing the road / jaywalking.
Who would have thought?
To avoid it, they're imposing a fine if they catch you (apparently).
I admit, I do listen to my ipod when I go on walks just to block out the conversations around me but even though my ears are closed within the sounds of my choice of music, my eyes are still open and I always look right then left for oncoming traffic.

For those who don't, I guess you all need to turn down the volume on those ipods and look or at least use a pedestrian crossing.
Check out the promo posters for the campaign:
Be careful yo.
