The thing I find most interesting about that (very well-made, very effective) Keira Knightley PSA is that the concept worked from her own public persona to create this character of an actress with a really nice flat and a presumably equally shiny life--the angle these ads tend to go for around here is the working/middle-class stay at home mum who can't afford to get way from an abusive partner even if she were emotionally capable of it; and here is a portrayal of exactly the same issue striking a (presumable) star. I like the angle--maybe this way there can be a highlight on the emotional/psychological issues at the root of this sort of abuse rather than just the old focus on the economic issue. [/soapbox]
Also, WTF, Twilighters? You know you've got a shiny brand of crazy going on when you make marrying Snape on the astral plane look tame.
