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.
Today: Either it's Japanese anime or America on LSD and jazz.
Random Thoughts and Questions:
1.) Make sure you take your seizure medication before watching this PSA.
2.) "Kind of nice, really, what happened in this country not so long ago." Uhh, Vietnam? Korean War? World War II? World War I? The Spanish-American War? Civil War? War of 1812? Jim Crow Laws? Slavery? What nice thing popped up? Maybe the flag-sewing industry is the nice thing? I dunno.
3.) "Washington and Lincoln, real people like you and me." If they weren't real people, then aliens have been messing with us a lot longer than we thought.
4.) What's with the drums? Did they get Buddy Rich to do this on the cheap?
5.) "It was a whole new groove then. And it's still a pretty groovy idea right now." I've always associated the American flag and politics with groovy ideas.
6.) The Air Force gets a shoutout in the last seconds. Because...uhh...Lincoln and Washington were amazing fighter pilots in their day. Yeah--that's it.
