Saturday Morning PSA of The Week: The 1970s was not a hotbed of action when it came to color.

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:  TWO Red Cross PSAs for the price of one!






Random Thoughts and Questions (PSA #1):
1.)  Some tender flute music is the hallmark of a quality PSA.
2.)  Everything in the 1970s was just a varying shade of sepia.
3.)  Correction: Everything in the 1970s was just a varying shade of sepia with a dash of beige to jazz things up.
4.)  The two seconds of wannabe Saving Private Ryan was unexpected  random  lacking missing limbs.
5.)  So I take it that the wife/mom is bored out of her skull with her kid?
6.)  That three page brochure is probably chock-full of info. It might take all day to read.


Random Thoughts and Questions (PSA #2):
1.)  Ten days at this aquatic "center." Also known as the woods.
2.)  BREAKING NEWS: Every modern man today from Alabama, Mississippi, and Georgia is still rocking a hairstyle popular forty years ago.
3.)  The hand gesture for diving seems redundant. Did he think the diver was going to take flight?
4.)  "...come to the aquatic skooowa..."
5.)  "Most students come [...] to learn water safety," says the teacher. And the rest show up to get a nice tan apparently.
6.)  What's with the freeloader in the middle of the canoe doing nothing? AND THEN HE FLIPS THE BOAT LIKE A TROUBLEMAKER!
