Subject: Retromercial: Play Safe
Written By: star500 on 01/30/08 at 10:10 pm
I wonder if anyone remembers this ad, I was just surfing YouTube as I often do these days, and I came across this really old commercial. It is a British ad, advertising playing safe. It is one of the freakiest ads I've ever seen. Just completely and utterly scary. I really think they should re air this ad in the USA or Canada. It is even more effective then those WSIB ads in Canada (those of you who are Canadian will know what I am talking about). Here is a link to the ad for those who are not familiar with it or for those who have never seen it before:

i love the comments. "Remember, kids--DON'T LISTEN TO YOUR OLDER SIBLINGS. THEY WANT YOU DEAD."
i like stuff like this, i wish there was more of it. we have some of it in the states, too, little safety tips and such.

That was cool! We need ads like that here in the US. Although I wonder if 66kV can make its way through an insulator and through a basically ungrounded person, I see the point of the video...
Freakiest I've seen is this one:

believe it or not, that's the watered-down version of the original:

And the lesson of this ad is:
Never make out with your girlfriend within 50 feet of a public highway. ;D
