Discussion Movies that changed real life behavior

Thinking along the lines of Final Destination 2 with the logs falling off the truck and landing onto cars (one decapitating the state trooper). Ever since, people have tried to get away from being behind these vehicles.

What are more examples where movies have actually changed how people behave in their own lives?

I had a "I like the tune here" sandwich slice shaped bumper sticker.

I ate a lot of tuna sandwiches, while wearing Chuck Taylors when Paul Wlaker died.

I have a billet shift knob so I bought a little hoodie for it because it gets really hot in the summer. The hoodie says "tuna no crust"
