There is this awful, awful "public service announcement" commercial that makes me bury my head in a pillow and sing until it's over or leave the room. I've seen it three times and it gives me nightmares.
They have much more graphic commercials here. I was talking to someone about it and he said that last Christmas they started showing insanely graphic drunk driving commercials. And drunk driving actually plummeted. They also have way less commercials here, so when you're watching an American show (I don't watch that much tv I swear) the commercial breaks are at all the wrong spots.
- The scene: A mom is driving with two teenage kids in the back seat, nice day, looks like a car commercial.
- We see a scary white van following the car. Voiceover: "Like most victims, Louise knew her killer".
- Louise is watching the scary van in the rearview mirror. It turns right. She looks back at the road and slams into the car in front of her.
- The camera is on the back seat. We watch her son slam forward and then slam back. His nose is all bloody. Then the daughter starts screaming (this is awful).
- Voiceover: "When Billy killed his Mum he sat back down. Wear your seatbelt"
