Boredom Beware!

Tonight, I was standing at a bus stop (on 62nd & Halsted St. in Chicago) when I noticed a poster. The poster was a picture of a boy who's playing basketball in his livingroom-which is full of valuable, breakable things-and is about to make a slam dunk into a bucket located on a high shelf. There is caution tape running across the picture. On the tape reads the words "don't try this at home." (The poster would be more funnier if you see it for your self.)

The poster is an ad for afterschoolscene.com , a web site sponsored by the Afterschool Alliance-a non-profit organization whose mission to offer kids fun and constructive activities that will stop them from roaming the streets and getting into trouble.

The web site features several events, activities, and other goodies to keep students busy after the final school bell rings.

[Note: Right now, afterschoolscene.com is featuring a petition that will keep music programs in schools. If you want to sign up, check out it front page or better yet go to click themusicedge.com.]
