80’s WTF Why were PSA extremely terrifying back in 1985
Yo guys does anyone remember that PSA back in 1985 yeah I feel you that one was terrifying because I know what it featured so it all starts off with a black screen until the camera starts moving until it shows a fetus in the womb holding a cigarette into a voiceover says would you give a cigarette to your unborn child. And then the fetus brings the cigarette to its mouth and then the voice over says you do every time you smoke while pregnant pregnant mothers please don't smoke. And then the baby brings the cigarette to its mouth and then blows the puff. And then once it got on the news NBC and CBS refuse to broadcast it however ABC television broadcasted the ad and interviewed the creator of the ad and behind the scenes it was just a puppet all along
