A Message To Shia, From M.A.D.D.
An Open Request to Shia LaBeouf
from Mothers Against Drunk Driving
To protect the safety of his family and the citizens of his community, Mothers Against Drunk Driving calls on Shia LaBeouf to voluntarily install ignition interlock devices on all vehicles registered in his name, in addition to completing the official punishment/sanctions that may be levied in the event of his conviction for DUI.
An ignition interlock is a breath test device linked to a vehicle’s ignition system and is normally mandated to convicted drunk drivers as a condition of probation. We hope Mr. LaBeouf will voluntarily use the opportunity of his DUI arrest to educate his fans – and the country – about this life-saving device by installing the device on his vehicles.
Ignition interlocks are proven effective tool in the fight to eliminate drunk driving and save lives.
· Ignition interlocks reduce drunk driving offenses by an average of 65 percent.
· Ignition interlocks have the potential to save more than 4,000 lives now taken in repeat drunk driving crashes annually.
· A majority of American citizens (65 percent) support the use of ignition interlocks as a sanction for first-time convicted drunk drivers.
· A full 85 percent support ignition interlocks for repeat offenders.
States across the nation are turning to the alcohol ignition interlock to help prevent drunk driving tragedies. Just this year, four states – Washington, Nebraska, Alaska and Colorado – expanded the use of alcohol ignition interlocks to include all convicted drunk drivers. MADD lobbied the California state legislature this year to pass similar legislation and plans to make the expanded use of interlocks in California its top priority next year.
MADD believes the tools are now at hand to eliminate drunk driving from the United States. The Campaign to Eliminate Drunk Driving, launched in November 2006, has four elements: intensive, high-visibility law enforcement, full implementation of alcohol ignition interlocks for all convicted drunk drivers, development of advanced vehicle technologies to prevent drunk driving and grassroots support led by MADD and its 400+ affiliates, to make the elimination of drunk driving a reality.

What the fuck??? People are wacked.
Is anyone else wondering WHY MADD didn't request this of train wreck Lindsay Lohan, Paris Hilton, or Nicole Richie??
6th
MADD sucks!!! No one should take these retards seriously. They should mind their own fuckin business.
Drinking and driving = bad. But I hate these nosey fucking soccer moms. I call on MADD to voluntarily eat a dick.
people fuck up. get over it.
Idiot!
i still think he's hot
They are dumb to believe that those work, I know people that have them and they would have their sober friends blow into them for the car to start, it does not work!!!!
Yeah, good luck with THAT!
In other news, MADD called on John Edwards to acknowlege his love child with campaign worker/actress Rielle Hunter.
I read that it was the other drivers fault though, after finding they (other driver) ran through a red light, and Shia was not convicted of DUI. Out of all the celebs who have DEFINITELY been convicted of DUIs why do they pick onhim now?
bummer
first
first bitches…. and HA HA HA HA HA HAAAAAAAAAAAA
i know 2 people in the hospital due to drunk driving now, and 2 more who did not survive and have passed on. I was JUST thinking there has to be something to prevent these people from killing innocents! GO MADD
Did they ask Lindsay to do the same thing?
fuck MADD, installing a breathalizer shit on his car? keep your panties on Mothers, fuck that shit
LEAVE SHIA ALONE BITCHES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
IDC I LOVE SHIA SHIASHITHSIAH
DURING THE EARTHQUAKE MY SHIA TOYS FELL!! HOW SAD
ahahhaha
The guy is a douche, he won't do that. Idiot. And look at how celebrities with DUIs are treated? It's a joke.
That is a great idea M.A.D.D…why can't they just make it mandatory on all vehicles considering that we have way more drunks on the road than we thought?
Re: ANDY2 – You are so fucking nasty!!
Re: Steph – dumbass
madd should stfu and stop being haters >:D
Re: Lance – Wow, karma is a bitch. Wait til your family member or first born is slaughtered and laying bloody on the road because of a drunk driver. MADD is an awesome group of people trying to make the roads safer for idiots like you. Sad.
wonder what MADD will say now that LAPD proved shia was not at fault for the accident. maybe they should be "mad" at red-light runners. ha
id like to punch everyone who belongs to MADD in the face
Hes a hottie. i dont care how much of a douche he is. HES STILL HOTT!!!!
I love Love love him!!!
Great idea! He's actually a talented actor, not one of those kids famous for nothing. That's why they chose him.
Please, before it's too late.
MY GOD he is SOOOO UGLY!
MY GOD he is SOOOO UGLY!
MY GOD he is SOOOO UGLY!
MY GOD he is SOOOO UGLY!
MY GOD he is SOOOO UGLY!
MY GOD he is SOOOO UGLY!
MY GOD he is SOOOO UGLY!
MY GOD he is SOOOO UGLY!
MY GOD he is SOOOO UGLY!
hes fucking amazing minus that hair and facial hair let him be
Usually don't agree with many posters on here, but MADD needs to voluntarily eat a cock. The accident wasn't his fault. How about we put idiot sensors in the cars of the guy who ran the red light that way when he gets in and puts his foot on the break the car won't start.
Fuck MADD. I am waiting for the day when the leader or some high ranking MADD member is bused for DUI. Assholes.
MADD is so annoying.
He's Sooooooooo Hot!!! Love him!!!
Soccer moms everywhere are protesting yet their sloppy cunts are dripping wet for some young Shia!
Douchebag aint gonna do that, but he should set an example
keep it up champ! you will be the next LiLo…in no time!
Re: rebec – Me too and not because I like this dude, hell I don't even know who is but because I'm sick of these bitches sticking their noses in everyones business and thinking they can protest and everything will go in their favor a BIG FUCK YOU TO YOU BITCHES. fuck you and your shitty kids!!
answers 14, 15 and 16 i cannot wait till you morons get the call in the middle of the night that your kid got hit pushed across the highway on his arm a week in the hospital rehab for 2 months you people are idiots if the drunk that did this to my kid hadnt offed himself i might have.
they act like he's an alcoholic. this is the first time he's done this and come to find out, the accident wasn't even his fault.
they shouldn't be askin him to do this. they need to leave him alone.
oh wow
Re: Bree – Bree, you're right that the other driver was cited, as she was found to have run the red light. But this does NOT mean that Shia was not guilty of DUI - that is separate from responsibility for causing the collision. The main thing it means for Shia is that he will not get sued in civil court. But the DUI is still there.
everyone here acts like MADD should mind there business but the truth is someone could have gotten killed in the process. No one in this thread would be talking shit if someine they new was a victim of a drunk driver……it doesn't matter if it wasnt his fault…..point is…he was driving while intoxicated…..People need to grow up and realize that this should not be taken lightly and apreciate the fact that there are groups out there trying to deter people from driving drunk.
Why didn't these crazies request this of Paris, Lindsay, NIcole, Khloe (whatever the hell her name is) Mel, Keifer….
drinking is celebrated in the US, happy hour, new years eve, weddings etc while people who smoke are shunned at every level. you can't smoke at the ballgame but you can drink as much as you like and then drive home. Drunk driving kills others, drunks destroy families, jobs etc while smoking does non of that–go figure. When was the last time someone left a bar who had just smoked 10 cigs and killed someone with their car? MADD needs a new PR team.
part of this doesnt make sense to me…
i mean, why make them get it AFTER they get convicted. why cant this ignition lock already come on all cars. why wait AFTER the death of someone. it doesnt make any sense as to why a life saving device is only being used AFTER something bad happens.
and another thing, i think Shia is getting a really bad rap for this. the driver that hit him ran the red light…so the alcohol wasnt even to blame in shia's case…that doesnt mean it should be looked over but im just saying, the person that ran the red light should be getting some kind of ticket too.
the whole situation is bad :-\ but if MADD really wants to make a difference, they would make it some kind of law for all cars to come standard w/ the ignition lock.
Why haven't they asked other stars that have proven to be habiutal drunk drivers like, Paris Hilton, LIndsey Lohan, etc. to do that as well. I think it is a little unfair to single one person out. MADD if you request it of one you should requests it of all.
waaaaaahhhhhhhhh
These tee-totalling bitches again? Anyone else want to have a drink to talk this over? I'll drive!
I am impressed and amazed at how many Perez readers have never made a mistake in their lives. Wow, good work people. For the rest of us humans, the guy F'ed up BIG, OK, but MADD should go crawl under a rock and drink themselves to death. Shia, pay your dues so the rest of us can get on with our perfect lives, ok?
I would tell those mothers against drunk driving to cram the ignition interlock device straight up their ass if i was Shia. The accident was not even his fault.
i'm all for people not drinking and driving, but don't do an open letter to this guy. first off, he was not "drunk" - yes, he had some drinks, but not legally drunk. he was "released on a summons" under suspicion for DUI - again, I dont' condone someone being totally fucked up and being an asshole w/driving, but don't use this guy as a whipping boy
Why does everyone in this world insist on getting soo involved inthe lives of others.. If he was to blame or wasnt why should someone who doesnt even know him have the right to judge him.. MAAD is noone to tell him what he should install on his cars.. JESUS.. everyone gets soo freaking worked up!! GET A LIFE!
ahhhhhh reminds me of the old witch hunt days, we don't have an official police report saying he was drunk driving and it was his fault but lets throw paint on his fake fur just in case its real
I would take this more seriously were it not for the fact that in the past decade there were two separate incidents involving presidents of M.A.D.D. that were pulled over and subsequently convicted of D.U.I. in Texas. Both were grossly over the legal limit in the state of Texas. These "soccer moms" started with good intentions but are very hypocritical when it comes to practicing what one preaches. These "soccer moms" push for harsher D.U.I. convictions but give the perception that these good deeds and intentions give them a blank check to act as they feel. Again, this is only a perception, but it is there. Did these presidents of M.A.D.D. voluntarily put alcohol ignition interlocks on their own vehicles? Google to find out.
Re: Britt – You're right - the other driver DID get ticketed. She and her insurance company will bear financial responsibility (Shia's insurace company will probably go after her to get reimbursed for Shia's bill at Cedars-Siani). The only legal question is whether Shia's diminished capacity, due to being drunk, caused him to be unable to apply brakes in time to avoid the collision. And as pointed out earlier, the DUI is completely separate from the accident.
I belong to DDaMM, Drunk Drivers against Mad Mothers, and we believe very much the opposite.
i still like she-ya la-beau, despite his sometimes douchieness. everyone makes mistakes. he'll grow up eventually, hopefully not ruining his career in the process.
Re: marle –
you're absolutely right, someone could have got killed. people who run red lights cause accidents that kill people. not every person who runs a red light is going to kill someone, they might just injure someone, or they may just get away with it.
what is unfortunate is that not all drunk drivers kill people or even cause accidents. what is unfortunate is the way drunk driving laws are written, a person can't have ONE drink within an 1-2 hours before they drive a car for fear one of those faulty little breathilizers will say they are legally drunk.
what is unfortunate is MADD was started with true concern and a true cause, and as evidenced by their famewhoring press release, they're just another political famewhoring machine.
too bad.
if you oppose MADD, you deserve to be bloodied and crushed by a drunk driver to the point that your organs cannot be donated and your family must not only grieve your life but your eternity in HELL
MADD leader in San Diego got a fucking DUI. Has anyone been to one of those? They are "2 hours" long. You wait in line for an hour, then you HAVE TO pay a 20 dollar donation. Then you have to wait for everyone to sit which takes 45 mins, and then for 15 minutes they speak and its over.
never heard of a ignition interlock device. but if they have it out they should put it in all newer vehicles and they should make all celebrities put them in the cars because if they had it in their cars there wouldn't be a new celebrity dui every week. cause i am sick in tired of celebs getting a dui. i even think clubs and bars need to start giving them a breath test to see what there bac is and not have them drive just call a taxi for them.
MADD needs to STFU!
What ever happened to innocent until proven guilty. Those MADD bitches need to shut the fuck up until they find out if he was even drunk at all!!!!
leave him the fuck alone!!!
Ever heard of D.A.M.M.? Drunks Against Mad Mothers.
Fuck that…it wasn't even his fault. Tell them to fuck off.
MADD takes advantage of their emotional peril to thwart reasonable methods of deterring drunk driving. Driving checkpoints? Unconstitutional to be sure, but the forever-in-mourning mothers have succeeded in allowing this "throw a big fishing net over society" tactic to be instilled by law enforcement, which of course is a nuisance to law abiding citizens and represents just the sort of slippery slope that jeopardizes the tenets of small government law enforcement.
I hereby issue a thank you to fathers of drunk driving victims for not being attention whores that anoint themselves worthy of dictating regulations for the general population. Nothing against women, but it is prudent to oppose groups of any gender, race, creed, etc. that abandon logic and reason in a (futile) emotionally-charged quest to "change the world." See also, National Organization of Women.
FUCK YOU MADD. 18 - 20 year olds fight for this country but they can't even have a drink thanks to madd. so screwww you! I'm so sure every person that represents madd has a ignition interlock in their vehicles…they should to show that it's not so bad but i'm sure they would never.
All these people that are saying crap about MADD you guys can go to hell. My sister (who was 7 months pregnant) was killed by a drunk driver who ran a red light going 80 MPH. The guy that had killled her was convicted 3 times of previous DUI's. If had the interlock on his car, he would have not been driving. I can't wait until these people that are saying crap is affected by a drunk driver.
Also, if Shia wasn't drunk he could have probably would have been able to respond quickly to the guy that ran the red light.
All the people saying crap about MADD are the ones that drive drunk…
This has nothingto do with anything, but this shit is funny as hell. More to the point if I was Pro PR Person I would pick this kid up, sadly I'm still at PEnn State waiting for my turn in Cali. All the same, its sexist, its funny, and I like it. Joshcollege.com

MADD are prohibitionist & moralist windbags!
If you knew anything about MADD is more than just Mothers, you idiot. You obviously haven't been affected by a drunk driver!
65% of Americans support that??
NO FUCKING WAY! THAT IS A FAULTY MACHINE, YOU CANNOT START YOUR CAR IF YOU USE TOO STRONG OF A MOUTHWASH. YOU CANNOT START YOUR CAR IF YOU HAVE ONE GLASS OF CHAMPAGNE. DON'T BE FOOLED!!!!!!!
THOSE MACHINES DON'T WORK, ALL IT TAKES IS YOU HAVING SOME SOBER PERSON BLOWING IN YOUR CAR AND THEN YOU CAN STILL DRIVE. PEOPLE ARE STILL GOING TO COMMIT THE CRIMES.
If you know anything about the interlock system. They are far advanced than people think. It can anazlyze if it's your breathe or not, so you cannot have anyone else blow into the machine who is not authorized.
Also, if you have one on your car, that means you got caught drinking and driving, simple solution, don't drink and drive….you people that drink and drive are idiots!
Fuck MADD! Those bitches have nothing better to do than bitch and complain!
FYI: more madd mother have been cought getting DUI than I can count with my fingers and feet put together!
MADD needs to leave the law up to the law and judges and burry their noses in ass crack!
it wasn't shia's fault!
leave him alone!!!!!
love him!!!! so much talent!!
"a full 85 percent".. what the fuck?
who the fuck cares. MADD is ridiculous
It's about time MADD spoke up. They were not vocal during the whole Paris Hilton DUI debacle.
What hypocrisy in this country. It is alcohol that's responsible for driving fatalities, domestic violence, etc etc, yet it is available everywhere. But everyone waaaaay overreacts about prescription drugs which don't make people drive and kill, act violent, etc. One dumb celeb abuses pills and people go nuts. The people who genuinely need RX drugs for medical reasons are treated like criminals and can't get it. It is absurd. But when dumb celebs abuse booze, which is what truly jeopardizes others, no one cracks down on booze.
I THINK IT'S WRONG TO DRINK AND DRIVE BUT…DID YOU KNOW THE MOTHER WHO STARTED THIS PROGRAM MADD (HER DAUGHTER WAS KILLED BY A DRUNK DRIVER) WAS CHARGED WITH A DUI LAST YEAR? THEY SHOULD FOLLOW THEIR OWN RULES!!!
well as someone who recently got a DUI in one of the states listed, i did not have to get the interlock installed on my car… so they should double check the facts before sending an open letter like this. and to the people saying you can just get a sober person to blow on it for you, you are wrong, it continually has you blow on it as you drive… and if you got a DUI, why risk getting another one?
i was not drunk at the time, i blew a .09 and was charged. BUT, when all is said and done (lawyer, court fees and fines, alcohol ed classes) a cab would have cost me $10 vs about $1000. he surely can afford a driver or cab.
dont be idiots, this is a really serious subject. im sure all the people getting upset about this are probably not even old enough to drink legally.
these should be put in EVERY car before it even leaves the factory.
I'm not surprised at all the ignorant people who are saying that MADD needs to mind their own business. I lost a cousin at 12 because a drunk driver came up on the sidewalk and hit her. And this was back in the 70s before there was an organization like MADD. I would hope that no one that is writing this nonsense ends up losing someone they love because an idiot didn't have the sense to call a cab for a ride home.
yeah, MADD does need a better PR team.
but seriously do the effing research. MADD isn't just mothers; the current president is an african-american male. MADD isn't against drinking. and MADD is trying to save lives, not screw up yours.
Re: Row1n –
I just looked it up they were not presidents, but state executives.
Re: Britt –
One step at a time i'm sure
Re: Mikki –
I have a feeling they will
It wasn't his fault FU MADD
