Title: Best PSAs ever
Post by: gpw11 on Tuesday, January 08, 2008, 10:21:22 PM

I remember seeing number two when it came out and being disturbed. The rest are purely funny though (http://www.pongalong.com/Beerblog/index.php/worst-canadian-psas-prevent-itca-youtube-friday-five/)

I lol'd.

Still, they're not as deliciously hilarious as this commercial, which features a suburbanite loli at a soccer game getting blown up by a landmine:

Are there more of these videos anywhere? I like watching them. They desensitize me to the suffering of others.

Ok, this is entirely unrelated but I just saw an ad for a show about Pick Up Artists (worst name ever), and decided to look up PUA on youtube to see if that fad had died yet.  The answer is that it totally has not and there are still scores of formerly emo guys out there willing to sell their soul for a piece of ass.  It was kind of depressing, but thank god I did it because I found this piece of gold.

As for your question, it's not quite the same thing but this is apparently a German forklift training video (http://video.google.ca/videoplay?docid=-3993578102572669647&q=forklift&total=2272&start=0&num=10&so=0&type=search&plindex=2).  I suspect the accuracy of that, but either way watch the whole thing.  It's somewhat money.

Do I have to sit through all eight and a half minutes of that nonsense babbling language just to get to the gratuitous violence?

There are small amounts throughout (starting somewhere after the two min. mark I think), but the end is the real magic.

Bah, that was cartoonish and funny, not serious and tragic.

I'm looking for REAL HUMAN MISERY to laugh at.

I just looked at that first post and realized I hyper-linked the first video wrong.  Please go back and click on it again to put my previous comment in context.

Or just click on this:

That was already posted to this forum several months ago, and in any case it's old.

You fail. Please shoot yourself in the hand with a nailgun at your earliest convenience.

That last one really, really wasn't necessary.  (Really.)

The PUA one was funny in a jarring sort of way.

That last one was not only necessary, but delicious.
