Scary Safety Videos

I can't believe that I'm surfing YouTube tonight for "Scary Safety Videos", but here we are.

First up: Scary 19702 British Public Information Films

The scariest part is the ugly narrators with the bouffant hair styles!

Next: Apaches -Horrific UK Public Information Film - Part 1

Geek length ... which means it's too long, and not enough content to make it worth your time unless you're really bored. Part II of the "Kick the Can" episode available here, if you're interested. It ends with a child drowning in a bog. Then a little girl drinks poison. That takes about 5 minutes. Both episodes are about 9 minutes long. ("Too quiet, I don't like it.")
There's a whole series, as the six children are killed off by various unsafe behavior. It's something like th e Agatha Christie book "And Then There Were None", except not as well written.

Finally, Public Information Film - Venereal Disease

I won't even bother to embed the video ... it's just that stupid. If you want to go watch it, be it on your head. Note: NSFW, NSFY, NSFE (Not Safe For Work, Not Safe For Eyeballs, Not Safe For Ears.)

At least there is some British humor here (note: British Humor is to Humor as Military Music is to Music.)

Oh faugh. The only redeeming value in this entire post is to prove that the Brits can mess up absolutely ANYTHING!

(With respectful apologies to Our British Cousins.)
