Can a children's PSA be cute and creepy at the same time? This old video definitely fits the bill in my opinion. This Canadian propaganda video has scared a generation of kids into thinking twice about eating mommy's Valium and other household poisons. Usually, these government advertisements are out of touch and stuffy, but this one seems to hit the target audience correctly. Seriously, kids are probably not going to listen to boring old mom and dad, but will always take advice from a set of singing ( and ukulele playing) furry puppets with a catchy jingle.
Remember....you could sick....real quick....real ICK!
I bet you sing this all weekend!
Happy Friday!

ooh-em-gee! I so remember that commercial...my younger brother sang it all the time. They used to put it on late at night too on Access and CTV, which of course is when all small children are up watching T.V.!!!

Definitely creepy! Although, I wish I had some valium for my kids to "accidently" find :)

I'm not sure if creepy is the right word!

I think I would enjoy this more if I was drugged.

Best ad ever. I remember watching that on Saturday mornings as a kid.
