Read A Book

I heard about this PSA today and just had to look for myself - hmmm. I don't know what to say. I understand and fully support the concept but why do it in such a crude fashion? Couldn't we have a rapper sing the same words minus the foul language and the booty shaking to get across the message? Are we saying this is the only way young black people will understand? Isn't this similar to encouraging ebonics in the schools because it is either a foreign language or a cultural experience? If the answer to any of these questions is yes then we have more problems than I thought.
