Laurel & Hardy

Like many other blogs, a mixture of book reviews, links I found interesting, comments on the day's news.

British PSAs

KOr as they call them in the UK, Public Information Films. BBC Magazine is airing one historical ad every day in February; today's is Splink, a 1976 traffic safety ad for children. The other ads are here. The oldest one is from 1948 (on coughs and sneezes); most are from the 1960s and 1970s. Most of them are unintentially funny, usually due to dated graphics. The strangest (and the most disturbing) is the "Dark and Lonely Water" spot. It's really creepy.
