Does anyone know where I could download a copy of the drink driving ad that has been on Irish TV for the last few years? The one where the guy has a few beers after a game of footie (see not totally off topic ;) ), loses control and drives the car into someone garden and kills a child.
I would like to show it at the driving school I go to in Germany.
I had a German friend of mine stay with me this summer, and he was shocked by the ad, said there's nothing like it on German TV.
Exactly tets. I have to sit through some really crap video clips of Hans driving home from the disco after 3 pilsner in his 1987 Polo :rolleyes: Thought it would be interesting to show them the above-mentioned video clip.Quote:

You get some classic 'Public Information' Ads in Ireland. I was thinking the other day of that UTV ad to stop lads joining paramilitaries that ran in the early to mid nineties. It was the one with Harry Chapin's 'Cat's In The Cradle' as the theme music and the bloke about to bury his son.
While on this topic and this time of year ...... can you all put your blood type on you driving licence and also check the 'organ doner' box if you are willing to have you organs donated if you die in a crash.
Who remembers the "Where Grandad?" public information ad from way back when. Well actually son, yer Grandad has gotten himself drowned.
Yeah ... classic !! .... or the one where a kid has thrown his frizby (sp??) up into a electric pylon and climbs up to get it. Toast !!Quote:

Or that one about Dave. Dave is wonderful, he can do this and that but he finds the sea 'just not my scene man' and loses his 'bird'. Dave's Fairy Grandmother advises him to 'learn to swim young man! Learn to swim!':rolleyes:
The maddest advert I ever saw was an anti drugs one aimed at
kids in Singapore. It had a teddy bear on it and the jingle went ...
Sunny(I think) bear is a happy bear,
he likes to sleep in bed, => que a pic of a teddy bear tucked up in bed
then one day he took heroin,
now sunny bear is dead :eek: => Then there was a pic of the teddy strung out in a gutter!
