Actress does faux peer pressure PSA to promote flick

Megan Fox is the latest celebrity to lend her voice to a cause, starring in a peer pressure PSA. The gorgeous actress, who is currently promoting her latest film, the horror comedy “Jennifer’s Body,” addresses issues such as bullying, being true to oneself and showing a strong personality, and the appropriateness of killing and eating high school boys, which is a totally acceptable thing.

The PSA, of course, is more of a hoax than the real thing, although the message behind the joke still holds true. In the announcement, the actress says millions of kids are being bullied at school for no other reason than being different, which is one of the cruelest things kids can do to other kids. However, those who are bullied should stay true to themselves, Fox says in the PSA, and not lend an ear to what others are saying because their words do not matter.

“Every year, thousands of kids entering our high schools, succumbing to terrible peer pressure. Let’s face it, high school can be tough and kids can be cruel. Picking on others for just being different. “Well, I say [expletive] ‘em cuz they don’t know [expletive]. What really matters is being yourself and if that includes slowly killing and then eating every boy at your school, then I say do it. Because nothing’s more important than just being who you are.” Megan says into the camera.

The PSA ends with the name of the official site for “Jennifer’s Body,” Fox’s latest film, popping on the screen. Her character in it, as fans must already know by now, is the cutest and most popular cheerleader in high school who moonlights as a killer of boys. Although interest in horror movies might have declined somewhat in recent years, the recently released PSA with Fox has managed to make fans even more impatient about its release.

“Jennifer’s Body” is slated for theatrical release on September 18. As we also noted on previous occasions, the horror promises to be filled with gory moments, as well as with many funny ones, which recommends it as a must see for fans of the genre, movie oriented publications point out.
