The wife and I were watching The Office last evening and we saw one of NBC's "The More You Know"
PSA's. It featured Mindy Kaling (Kelly from The Office) talking about something or other, but it sounded
sort of confusing (more than usual on those 10 second announcements) and the phone number they usually show at the top
left- or right-hand corner of the screen really didn't make sense. I just tossed it aside and waited to watch ER.
Turns out, it was all a fake! Kaling, as well as Rainn Wilson (Dwight), John Krasinski (Jim), Jenna Fischer (Pam) and B.J. Novak (Ryan) recorded a whole mess of fake PSA's for the April Fool's holiday. Some of the subjects they cover in the spots are Beer (walk away from a $9 brew) Lipstick (use two shades for maximum cuteness) and Cake (don't smush it in the bride's face because it just messes up her makeup).
There are sixteen PSA's in total and they are done with the seriousness on the normal ones that appear during the network's shows. They can all be seen at the show's website.
