Our neighbors to the north are big on public service announcements. 
Some of them are.... just wrong.
These aired on Canadian television for a short time before viewer complaints stopped them.  They feature dramatized workplace accidents and situations.

Do they still show "Signal 30" (or some other auto accident film) before proms?

It's been a decade or so, but they didn't make us watch anything before prom.

Well, c'mon.... she DID spill his coffee.

I've seen those before, and despite how wrong they may be in actual life, the fact that they are commercials makes them pretty freakin funny.

There's this one too:

I think that link is the same as link #3 in Domestic Violence Awareness

Please post more PSA links if you find funny ones.

This is another PSA...
.....very creepy.

"There are no accidents.  All those PC's who died... they were told a Goblin Army was coming.  The Barony should've re-enforced the defenses.  Everyone should've had spell defenses.  There are no accidents."  ;D

Andy is everyone's "special little helper".

Here's my contribution to informing and doing a public service... warning though... the video has graphic images and language.

I can believe the PSA's out of Canada. Also if you ever get a chancre to buy and smokes up there the surgeon generals warning has pictures of blackened lings and throat cancer.
