Shocking Advert....

[Dreddz]

Has anyone seen the Stay Safe on Road advert ?
I just saw it now and I am dumb founded for words..
For you people in America, it involves a video clip taken on someones phone. 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. And this was played at 6.30 which I think is also wrong.

Thoughts ?

Sounds like a great idea. People do get run over, and I think this has more effect than if it was two fluffy bunnies running eachother over with bumper cars.

That one isnt as bad as that older one with a girl sat by a tree,dead, and then all her bones un.. break.. and urgh.. it made me cringe.

That advert is disturbing, but it will make me think about driving 40mph when I start driving.

It just makes me laugh all these adverts. Not just the gore, but the fact that they exist.

The fact that we live in a society, where you actually have to be told "Hey guyz, don't dick around in the middle of the road, okay?!".

I dont think there worse than these
Th child by the tree one ( with her bones placing back into place ) wasnt that bad
A bit different one, but made by the same people, was the one where there men at the pub. And some women crashes into there table like it was there car, that had a powerful impact.

[Ohhh]

yup there definetely disturbing but at least they actully work and make you think omfg lets drive at 10mph all the time and not go within 1metre of a road without checking if its safe!!!

We're poor so we can't afford special effects.

I saw a few of those on Tarrant On TV. Pretty shocking.

The phone clip one was great, in that there's a good chance more people will take notice of road safety. And it needs to be shown early, better kids learn young what happens when you mess about rather than learning later after being in an accident themselves.

I thought that one was really well executed. I don't think I've seen the one gibbi is referring to though

I seen it it today. It's not that shocking - that stuff happens.

And this was played at 6.30 which I think is also wrong.

You're kidding right? :riiight:

I like the fact that you were 'dumb founded for words'. Just think about it.
