Shocking Advert....

[Dreddz]

There are kids joking around ( doing some dance moves ) on the street. Then, you see some boy running on the road. Then, well its pretty obvious, he gets hit by a car. But the fact that this is real video and not stunted, and the fact that the car looking like it was going 50 or so m/ph was what shocked me. And after, you hear all the people crying and screaming was not nice.

That sounds hilarious

O.o

I don't think it was funny - Although I was expecting the screen to fade to white and then see that kids death details...

I think it is.

i think they're more classified as psa's rather than ads

it won't work. shock ads never work. people see them. they are shocked. but it doesn't leave a lasting imprint. noone thinks "now remember what that ad told you about smoking/roads/drinking/drugs".

It's nothing I havent already heard on the news a billion times.

you've never seen the australian safe driving ads, have you?

or the new zealand ones. The one you described Gibbi8 is pretty mild compared to the new zealand drive safe/drink drive ads. Although they have mellowed out over the years. A few years back it was like a 30sec-1 min horror movie during the ads. They actually kind of freaked me out.

Wait...so it was real and not a reinactment?

[Dreddz]

Indeed, it was a clip off someones phone. You see the boy get thwacked by the car.......

True really. The advert will actually more likely simply become trivial conversation between shocked drivers and worried pedestrians. The only way to remotely get some impact is if someone sees a shocking accident with their own eyes in their own life, and it goes without saying that this can't be arranged beforehand

And I finally saw the advert the other day. Shocking - yes, BUT I have an extremely strong feeling that it's edited in some way. If that footage is 100% unadulterated then, well...that's just off the scale.
