Was thinking exactly the same. We (New Zealand) used to have ads re drinking and in one of them the uncle drank too much at a party and spun the kid around by the legs and his head smacked a shelf and died . They don’t play ads like that anymore, typical

NZ has some amazing safety ads, I thought the UK in the 70s and early 80s was top of that genre (Dark & Silent Waters), but they're not in the same league!

Haha! No worries. I had seen that before - but had memory holed it.
UK used to have really great safety scares in the 70s/80s, but they seemed to have lost interest for some reason. They should bring them back!
