Scalding Hot Chicks, Canadian PSAs and A Winter Outfit With No Pants: The Daily Nooner (EST)!
Awesome Video Of The DayWho Knew That Canadians Make The Sweetest PSAs EVER?
Usually when I pick out a video to post for my Nooner, I'll watch it over and over and over again, picking out every possible nuance that could possibly be used to comedic effect. I scour each and every frame for subtle facial expressions, looking for a glimpse beneath the surface, trying to figure out what it MEANS. Then I make a dick joke and go play video games.
Today is different, though, because I refuse to watch this video more than the half dozen times I just did. It's pretty grim, but it's also a highly effective PSA: the next time I'm a hot, upwardly-mobile, about-to-be-married Canadian chick carrying an enormous pot of boiling hot water, I'm going to be very careful.
Maybe our Canadian readers can clear something up for me: Are you guys constantly slipping on grease and suffering third-degree burns up there? Is this such a problem in Canada that it actually requires its own PSA? Here in the States we have PSAs for stuff like meth and teen pregnancy and domestic violence and stuff, but I don't think I've ever seen one addressing the importance of CLEANING UP AFTER YOURSELF. Do you guys live in some sort of utopian wonderland where the biggest problem you have to worry about is slipping and falling? Does universal health care make everyone totally reckless or something? What's going on up there?!
Also: How's hockey going? No, really. I'm not making a joke here - I actually want to know. Please tell me how hockey's going.
With Winter just around the corner, it's time to make preparations for the cold months ahead. You're going to want to load up on batteries and canned food and have an emergency plan for your family and all that, but more importantly, you'd better figure out what you're going to wear. Navigating the gauntlet that is Men's Fashion can be scary, but don't worry: I've done all the homework for you, and this week on the Cracked Blog I'll be bringing you my five top picks for the season.

Hi, Very nice, unique, and informative post. Thanks for sharing. Keep up the good work.
Reply"I haven’t been this scared since I saw those Volkswagen ads that convinced me that people who drive Volkswagens always get in car wrecks."
ReplyThose things just make me feel bad. I was watching Family Guy and I couldn't laugh for the last ten minutes of the show because of that. Or Scrubs. Or... anything.

I knew a guys who slipped at work and plunged his whole hand in a deep fryer. When he got to the hospital he had to wait 6 hours to get in because he didnt have insurance and workers comp wouldnt approve his claim because he was walking to go to break. America blows....it blows ronald reageans cold rotting testes...
Replyi wish i could live in canada....i would feel tan all the time.
It's not the first year of that PSA campaign... apparently workplace accidents and death have gone up quite a bit, and this is a response to them. I guess we don't have as many people making meth in their bathtubs as we do getting hurt in the workplace.
ReplyI haven't been this scared since I saw those Volkswagen ads that convinced me that people who drive Volkswagens always get in car wrecks.
ReplyCheck out the newest PSA in that ad campaign. Guy gets blown up then his lifeless corpse falls a couple stories and slams into the ground. It's awesome.
ReplyI know that chick! Now I know why they call her Toady! Her ex-fiancee, who ran for his life when he saw her, agrees.
ReplySee, RW, what I figured was if I learn some cool magic tricks and performed them while DANCING I'd have a career to fall back on when I get fired from my systems engineer job for spending to much time at this website.

ReplyIf you didn't find this humorous, you should get yourself checked out for Down Syndrome.
I hear the common symptoms are under-developed ears, small hands, and the lack of a sense of humor.
I've seen this PSA about 10 times, and it gets FUNNIER EVERY FREAKIN' TIME!

Check out the Canadian PSA's about spousal abuse. PURE FUCKIN' GOLD!
I saw this video for the first time on TV on Saturday while I was, yes, watching Hockey Night In Canad with friends. I was half-drunk, and so when I see that last image of the poor woman's face burnt off I THOUGHT I HAD FUCKING HALLUCINATED. I looked around terrified, and asked everyone "Did you just see that?" It was not a dream, it was real.
ReplyThen they replayed it ten minutes later and I couldn't stop laughing. Amazing.
Then I fell out of my chair laughing and broke my arm. I waited for three days to see a doctor, who tied my arm to a stick and gave me my socialist pill that prevents me from having free thoughts.
This PSA is vital to us Canucks. During our harsh winters vats of boiling grease seem inviting and warm.
ReplyHockey is going good. The NHL just approved a new season schedule that takes it away from it's crappy failure of a curent schedule, the Nashville Predators got sold, Toronto Maple Leafs are sucking (as a note to the Yanks: making fun of the Leafs is Canada's second national pastime), Ottawa Senators are doing good on the ice while their counterparts are failing in the Senate, naked photos of a Leafs player popped up on the internet, a Leaf was diagnosed with cancer, Philidelphia has had three illegal headshots and like 50 games lost to suspension so far in the year, and it's damn cold in Canada.
Oh my god, I just watched that video, that's fucking hilarious.
ReplyThis is the North American philosophy isn't it? We've got a problem. I know, SCARE CAMPAIGN! I really think people will pay more attention to occupational health and safety if they were SCARED SHITLESS ABOUT ABSOLUTELY EVERYTHING!
Talking about being engaged and promoted makes you twice as likely to suffer a life threatening injury. It's called 'hubris' people, the Greeks invented in to scare the shit out of over-achievers.
Nothing's more fun then international pissing matches.
ReplyNow, if you'll excuse me I'm going to go take my low income tax, my non-existent property tax, my big pile of American guns, and my bulbus American penis and go make love to a Dallas Cowboy cheerleader.
And then I'm going to hi five John Wayne.
Sam, Im afraid I strongly disagree with your statement, you dirty Mexico toucher.
ReplyWait times are hardly a problem anymore, and, no matter what,you can go to a hospital and get treated for your illness, without worrying about if it is gonna break you or not.
The reason they are putting those ads on TV is because rather than going though a ressesion, like the States, most of Canada is going through a boom period, and workplace safety is starting to fall by the wayside due to a rush to get people on the job. So, Is it bad for the government to take note of this and put out a PSO? I think not. Enjoy your subpar dollar.
^ I'm sure my fellow Canadians will get a laugh out of this. :)
ReplyOh, man. The person who dressed that man up as a pantsless smurf deserves to have scalding water poured over their face.
ReplyNick: Would I be correct to assume, based on your 2nd video link, that you are trying to teach yourself magic? Neat! MAGIC!
ReplyAs for the pants fiasco, I'm pretty sure that's just what the outfit is supposed to be (although I wouldn't put it past a male model to forget to put on a pair of pants before hitting the runway).
I see no video...
ReplyDo you think he was meant to walk out without pants, or simply forgot them and just thought 'go with it'.
