Dawn soap saves wildlife
July 9, 2009 @ 10:22 pm
I think I’ll just go ahead and eradicate all other soap/detergent brands from my head except for Dawn because this is just about the best thing I’ve seen all day. I had no idea Dawn could do such wonderful work!
Thanks Clarence!
TAC: Pictures of You
May 20, 2009 @ 12:44 pm
The Transport Accident Commission of Victoria premiered this 3-minute PSA across all three major network channels in Australia (Channel 7, 9, and 10) on Wednesday, February 20, 2008. The PSA was a chilling reminder to all drivers that speeding is the number 1 cause of vehicle-related accidents in Victoria. The video uses a cover of “Pictures of You” (originally by The Cure) sung by Angie Hart, and according to Melbourne Metblogs, she cried when she saw the ad for the first time.

Tales of the Road from the Department for Transport
March 19, 2009 @ 2:55 am
The UK’s Department for Transport has created this Tales of the Road website to frighten and teach children about road safety. The PSA’s put out by the Department for Transport are eerie, with characters looking like they came straight out of Coraline or The Nightmare Before Christmas.
I discovered this one not too long after watching another dark safety commercial for Transport for London.
In any case, the message so far is clear: Stop, look, and listen and wear bright clothing so you can be seen. Expect two more similarly haunting commercials to be out in the near future.
Transport For London: “Optical Illusions”
March 19, 2009 @ 12:57 am
M&C Saatchi created this “Optical Illusions” PSA for Transport For London. It talks about how motorists often misjudge the distances and size of things when other factors are in view. It’s certainly an in-your-face type of ad but for good reason. [via]
