Saturday Morning PSA of The Week: Who knew hitchhiking was safer?



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:  Personally, I blame the oncoming car for all these shenanigans.





Random Thoughts and Questions:
1.)  I feel the smooth brass section playing music is hugely misleading here.
2.)  What's the horsepower on this red car? 15hp? How can it not out-motor two lackadaisical bike riders?
3.)  This all turns into the worst episode of The Twilight Zone ever really quickly.
4.)  Bonus points for the acting chops on the bike riders. Not often do you get jazz hands while being flung through the air.
5.)  "...the rider is dead." And now back to Scooby-Doo, kids!
