Latest public service / safety campaign

So it seems there's always at least one PSA-type message being pushed in the city at any given time - I mean, in Bavaria there's always some "do you have a drinking problem? Call XXX"-type messages, but then again it's Bavaria, where until pretty recently it was socially acceptable to drink beer with breakfast.
So, the latest? "Know your limit!". My favorite one of these:



For the two kids on the left, it says: Tonight she loses all her inhibitions...and later he posts her naked on the Net.
I like it how that ad would never fly in the U.S., because it would imply that when a drunk girl's naked picture is posted on the Internet, the girl herself might share some of the blame for posing naked for a guy who would post the pictures on the Net. Although, to be fair, the Germans may be interpreting it as "he gets so drunk, he actually posted that girl's naked pictures on the Net!".
The others are more somber, but thankfully this is the one that's posted all around my neighborhood.

Oh, and another one that amused me - this one an ad for a newspaper insert with parenting tips:



(Translation: "What now, dear parents?")
I'm guessing that one might also face some opposition in my home country.
Gots to love Germany....

These are hilarious - but I doubt they'd get printed here.
