cops Posted January 17, 2011 Report Share Posted January 17, 2011 I saw this commercial on youtube and I thought wow... It's from Australian with a anti drinking campangehttp://www.youtube.com/watch_popup?v=Z2mf8DtWWd8It could be shocking from 2:15 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xandarb Posted January 17, 2011 Report Share Posted January 17, 2011 I don't know what to say... Wow... But don't ya think that they overdid it a little? That was almost funny =D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kermit Posted January 17, 2011 Report Share Posted January 17, 2011 Well, it's just more promoting to don't drive while you have drinked some beers or whatever, not to stimulate people to don't drink. But I think It will help. Before this, I thougt pretty easy about traffic accidents, but when I saw how dangerous and horrible this accidents are. I didn't know that an traffic accident is so badly an serious. I think people who have a party, and saw this, think twice before they go driving.

Voodoo_Operator Posted January 17, 2011 Report Share Posted January 17, 2011 I've seen so many PSAs like this that I've basically lost any sensitivity to them. Not that I drink and drive - but common sense and/or higher police presence/fines/legal consequences should be more of an incentive to safe and sober driving than making all those high-budget PSAs (paid with your taxes, mind you) and featuring blood, people crying, car crashes, etc... They're so dramatic that they end up being just too much, and then I just laugh my ass off.Want to have some fun with that PSA?1- Mute the sound from the video.2- Find a copy of the 1812 overture by Tchaikowsky, skip to the finale (last minute or so) and pause it.3- Start the video and the 1812 finale at the same time. Enjoy. It only works with the part with all the crashes though, but I think if you time it right, the finale should cover it just fine.

gizmo719 Posted January 17, 2011 Report Share Posted January 17, 2011 LMFAO AHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHA, im sorry but that made my day doing that.Also its common sense not the videos that stop people and i know in colorado people aviod it mainly because they dont have 20k to pay the fine.

Newfoundking Posted January 17, 2011 Report Share Posted January 17, 2011 This is something I'd see in an AA meeting or a drunk driving rehab centre. Like the 1812 overture comment. Honestly, I think drunk drivers shoudl be arrested and given a minimum sentence of 4 years. Maximum, well life. Bet it'd be the last time you drank and drove then, aren't I right?

Voodoo_Operator Posted January 17, 2011 Report Share Posted January 17, 2011 By the way, if you want to try it yourself: Tchaikowsky's 1812 overture: (Set it at 3:04)And set the PSA at 2:15.The segment with all the crashes doesn't cover the whole finale, unfortunately, but if you time it right, some of the canon shot are perfectly timed with some highlights of the video such as the car splashing into the water, or the explosion.By the way, before you start calling me a sick, disturbed puppy: There's nothing in that video but actors, car stunts, corn syrup and special effects.

Ale Posted January 17, 2011 Report Share Posted January 17, 2011 a horrible commercial but actually it is shocking so I hope that it makes people think about driking alcohol before driving Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeyPI Posted January 18, 2011 Report Share Posted January 18, 2011 *joins fellow staff... As a whole us in the first-world are so de-sensitized it's comical to us when you try to "shock" us into "this could happen to you" type of bs... perhaps just perhaps get better laws and enforce them harshly people would be less prone to DUI, these commercials make drunk people laugh, not think about not driving.

Reece.c Posted January 18, 2011 Report Share Posted January 18, 2011 You should see the anti-drug and drinking adds that air in my area, there not pretty. Drinking and driving is such a big issue in Australia. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoppah Posted January 18, 2011 Report Share Posted January 18, 2011 I actually started to drink more after the video. It's a nice compilation of crashes which are so hilarious I thought I was watching a drama movie. I even laughed a couple of times. The song is actually the most saddest part of it.If you wanna know what crashes can do to human bodies visit a 'shock site' with real photos of car accidents. A real photo can far more impressive or shocking than this video. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matte31 Posted January 18, 2011 Report Share Posted January 18, 2011 Yes, i agree with hoppah..Its funny that they spend money on those shit commercials.I mean they dont even make sence, better to see the real deal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TacticalRooster22 Posted January 18, 2011 Report Share Posted January 18, 2011 Haha good job! Being only 13, I know not to drink and drive, but I don't get why people do it anyway. There's nothing wrong to call someone to pick you up at the bar if you're drunk... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeyPI Posted January 19, 2011 Report Share Posted January 19, 2011 Thanks AMI, that was priceless it made my day=)The reason people drink and drive you'll figure out tactical... You're not driving yet so you still have the mentality most start with, we'll see when you're 20-25 whether or not you believe the "law" is right and you must comply with it... Or if like most you think you're "better" than the average drunk and can drive a car, some really can but most generally can't. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ami89E1234 Posted January 20, 2011 Report Share Posted January 20, 2011 Actually it was a cannon blast but oh well... Please note: For all you Germans, the video is blocked in your country, but I might be able to dispute the copyright claim under Fair Use (the video IS under the 'Education' tab, after all) and it technically serves a purpose.

There's nothing wrong to call someone to pick you up at the bar if you're drunk... People are just too drunk to realize not to drive. I have friends that tell me they're great drivers when they drink. Coming from my own friends....its pretty sad. It's like impossible to talk them out of it. They think nothing can happen to them.

erfd Posted January 28, 2011 Report Share Posted January 28, 2011 Do I think these videos have an affect on DK driving, no because a)who watches them? and b) Everybody that does it, has been told its bad before, but don't listen, so I dont think a video is going to change that.
