Did anyone see this really disturbing, yet effective, PSA about cervical cancer which at first appears to be a perfume ad? I see it everytime I watch E! and to be honest, it's a little creepy.

The ad is designed to get your attention. I think it's very effective.

can you describe it? Or if it's on YOU TUBE or something, can you provide a link?

It's basically set up to look like your typical perfume commercial. This girl is reading a book, when she sees sparkles and stars all over the place. Then she runs upstairs to find a bottle of perfume spinning around in the air and when it turns around the bottle says "Cervical Cancer". Then a woman's voice says, "Maybe it's unfair to get your attention this way, but nothing's fair about cervical cancer. Every 47 minutes another woman is diagnosed. But there are ways to prevent it. Talk to your doctor." It is a very effective PSA, but when I first saw it, I wasn't expecting it to be a PSA.

Here you go. It certainly grabs your attention. You described it very well, ssudioTVgirl.
