Those joyless boys in blue’s unofficial campaign to imbue themselves with some sense of a personality continues. Last week, following in the balletic curb-stomping footsteps of Big Day Out Melbourne’s rave cop, SA Police’s official twitter feed was peppered with pun-tastic festival advice for Adelaide Big Day Out attendees addressing issues such as proper hydration, drug taking and physical retaliation to “DZ Deathrays and Beady Eyes”, delivered with the wince-inducing jibes of your drunk uncle Bruce who thinks he’s cool because he knows who The Mighty Mighty Bosstones are. Bless.
If you find yourself in a @PearlJam at #BigDayOut #Adelaide, don’t hesitate to ask police for help. #vedderbesafethansorry #PJAdelaide

If someone’s shooting you DZ Deathrays or giving you the Beady Eye at #BigDayOut #Adelaide, don’t take the bait. Just walk away. #BDO

The only ‘violent’ act we want to see at #BigDayOut #Adelaide is Violent Soho. Police won’t tolerate aggressive, antisocial behaviour.

It’d be a major downer to miss Major Lazer. Don’t bring drugs to #BigDayOut #Adelaide
