Today's public service announcements are all information and no imagination--but yesteryear's? Those were full of drama, plot lines, and cameos from B-grade celebrities, all wedged into one minute of absolute fantasticness.
Consider this a trip back in time to when PSAs were sometimes worth watching more than the Saturday morning cartoons.
This week's PSA: Murderous fridges are all around us.
Random Thoughts and Questions:
1.) "Ohh, here they come again, and I'm frightened." That's a common refrain around roving mobs of teddy bear wielding children.
2.) How many kids has Mr. Fridge suffocated to have such a complex?
3.) Sure, the Old West idea is cute, but at no point does Mr. Fridge view flying bullets as a concern. Good American values!
4.) That pamphlet's title is an English major's nightmare. Your child also trusts you to capitalize words and use punctuation.
But wait, there's more!
Random Thoughts and Questions:
1.) The budget for this PSA was a box of Crayolas and some colored pencils.
2.) What was up with kids in the '70s always imagining the Old West? Caravans now? Really? Little Suzy desperately wants to be taken away to the Oregon Trail where she can pretend to die of dysentery.
3.) Oh, but don't forget a kid might imagine a bed! Somehow, this just became more sad. The kid is apparently sleeping on piles of newspaper now.
4.) "...before it kills a child." I bet you just took a glance at your fridge and wondered if it will kill you in your sleep. The answer to that is...yes, yes it will.
5.) This is why I store all my perishables outside in a ditch. No fridge will kill me!
