Los Angeles County is a very eclectic portion of the country, and with eclectic populations come eclectic television channels, and with eclectic television channels comes batshit crazy commercials. Case in point? Check out this public service announcement that I caught today on Channel 18 in Los Angeles. I have no clue what is going on, but it is one of the funniest things I have seen on television in a long time. What better way to teach public safety than to mix early nineties fashion with early eighties synthesizer?

    Thank God for this poorly made public service announcement. People really do not know how to cross the street. My favorite is the young kids who purposely step out in front of your car to show you how “down” they are. I’ll show you down you little fuckers. Sure, I was an assholish youth, but I didn’t randomly dart into the road to prove it.

    Sadly, I use to work in government TV and actually edited these types of PSAs. Nothing more exciting then a PSA telling old people how not to slip in the bathtub.

    OMG! Are they fucking kidding? Maybe they wouldn’t need p.s.a.s like this if people in Monterey Park knew how to fucking drive. It is scay enough to drive through there, but to be a pedestrian: I don’t think so. You never know when someone will jump the curb and mow you down.

    I would love to see this thing with subtitles, because I can only assume that they mean to portray the Chinese people as obeying traffic laws, while the Hispanic girl is not. The fact that this is courtesy of The Chinese American Civil Rights Organization is a giveaway.
