Diet, stop beating up your girlfriend, wear a condom and drive slower
Has anyone ever done a study on how effective those Government adverts are? I dunno, like, how many cases of STI’s have talking speech bubbles prevented? Or what is the average MPH decrease from showing a dead child under your bed.
I presume they have (see below) but I’m putting myself on the line here with my conclusion. They’re all bollox. Ineffectual pointless pandering, ignored by those they are targeted at and absorbed only by the most cautious, triple condom wearing calory counters.
I once watched one of those ‘super skinny’ programs. Some poor girl was being told how unhealthy she was as she was too skinny. They asked her why she refused to eat. Peer pressure? Celebrity obsession? No, she responded, I just get worried about all those adverts that tell me that salt will kill me, fat will clog my arteries, and processed foods of any types will give me cancer.
