\"\"Ever since the release of Still Not Getting Any, one of Simple Plan’s main causes that they are involved in, is the fight against drunk driving<\/b>. It started with the release of the single Untitled, and most importantly by the accompanying music video<\/b>, which depicts what impacts can a DUI-related car accident have on not only the victims of the accident, but also on their families and friends. The song was inspired by a personal story of the guys’ high school friend, who (by driving drunk) caused a car accident that killed his best friend. <\/p>\n

With this song, Simple Plan started a massive campaign against drunk-driving, and the music video for Untitled has been used countless times by programs like MADD (Mothers Against Drunk Driving), RADD (Recording Artists Actors & Athletes Against Drink Driving) and also the state of Virginia uses the music video to scare off the upcoming holders of driver’s licences.<\/p>\n

The previously mentioned program called RADD<\/b>, particularly its Australian part, has recently released a series of short audio files, all including messages from well-known personalities, asking the listeners not to drink and drive<\/b>. And because of the recent visit of Simple Plan in Australia, we can now find our own David Desrosiers<\/b> on one of the files, spreading this important message… and using the word “gig” quite a lot (thanks CSP<\/a> for the file):<\/p>\n
