Disgusting PSA Tell British People To Clean Up After Their Dogs

Torbay Council

Displayed at UK bus stops, this campaign by the Torbay Council warns dog owners to clean up after their animals. Those who don’t comply will face a hefty fine. Sure, the ad’s message is good but, um, EWWWWWWW! That child appears to be playing in and eating a giant pile of dog poo because, because as the ad claims, “Children will put anything in their mouths.” C’mon guys, give kids some credit. They won’t put that in their mouths. [BBC]

Is It Us, Or Are Domestic Violence PSAs Getting Stranger And Stranger?

Ever since the whole Chris Brown/Rihanna incident, we’ve been noticing more and more public service announcements coming out about domestic violence. Don’t get us wrong—that’s great. Except that the ads keep getting progressively weirder and grosser. Not convinced? Check out this ultra disturbing ad from April, which shows Keira Knightley getting beat down. Not for the weak of stomach.

Quick Vid: Insane Pregnancy Prevention Ad (Warning—It’s Graphic!)

Bristol Palin and OctoMom take note! The UK’s National Health Service is using scare tactics to prevent teen pregnancy. This public service announcement doesn’t make a ton of sense, but it’s disturbing. Screaming children run across a playground, crowd around one girl, and suddenly a baby’s head pops out from between her legs. The camera is “Blair Witch Project” shaky. Now we feel nauseous, thanks to the shaking and the bloody head.  [TresSugar]

VD Is For Everybody

Happy STD Awareness Month! “VD is for Everybody” is a public service announcement from way back in the day. In case you’re not aware, VD is short for venereal diseases, which is what they called STDs before the 1990s. In the video, you learn that ballet dancers, equestrians, violinists, pregnant women who knit, and men who jog in gray sweat suits are all capable of getting VD, because “VD is for everybody, not just boys or girls.” Watch and learn.
