Sometimes you go so deep in the void that is current events that you find joy in a country jingle themed government PSA. 

The National Weather Service released a public service announcement advising drivers facing flooded roads to "turn around, don't drown." Accompanied by a jaunty country tune, singer Matt Hawk croons about the dangers of driving through floods.
