Saturday Morning PSA of The Week: A casual prejudice chit-chat on a rowboat



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:  The best life lessons occur when you're on a rowboat and bored out of your head.





Random Thoughts and Questions:
1.)  Sure as hell looks like the fish aren't biting today.
2.)  Way to go, Gramps. You raised a son or daughter who then brought-up a bigot as a grandkid.
3.)  Personally, I'm prejudiced against the casual hats used in this PSA. Did Pops take a fedora and festoon it with fishing lures? And where did little Bobby get the teal hat? Were all the chartreuse-colored hats sold out?
4.)  Are we just going to sit here and ignore the copious amount of back hair crawling out of Grandpa's shirt?
5.)  Bonus points for the one-eyed stinkeye Gramps pulls off that channels his inner Popeye.
6.)  This commercial ended way too soon. Did the kid have any other offhand follow-up revelations? Like, "Sarah says I'm a homophobe. And Bobby says I belong in the KKK."
