Gruesome Australian Ad becomes hit: Gone viral

ETA: Many thanks to AmberLeaf who found the vid



I don't see it on You Tube yet but I have no doubt it will be.

Personally I did not find it too gruesome. Had they not used cartoons it would have packed not more punch!

Not really much more you can say about it

That was funny!! Gruesome... I don't think so. I wouldn't suggest a
six year old to watch it or a Christian, but I like it.

Anyone that doesn't giggle at that has a lame sense of humor IMO.
Lol.. Lol
Peace

That was too precious to be considered gruesome. The song is pretty catchy as well. It has a good beat and it's easy to dance to... I'll give it a 7!

Thanks for sharing that. It's now among my downloaded saves for a collector's item. I can't say that I've often seen a commercial so humorous on such a serious issue...to such a GOOD effect. I mean, they leave nothing to the imagination but it's so perfectly to context of the message being delivered! I say A+ from start to finish and an example of covering a nasty topic with class. Great one!

would have packed not more

!!! Duh. Brain disconnect. Digital failure.

Packed lots more punch

And a real life version - well sort of!

Look out for the man photographing the train! Made me wince.



Or a one hour version!!

Lyrics:
Set fire to your hair
Poke a stick at a grizzly bear
Eat medicines that's out of date
Use your private parts as piranha bait

Dumb ways to die, so many dumb ways to die

Get your toast out with a fork
Do your own electrical work
Teach yourself how to fly
Eat a two week old unrefrigerated pie

Dumb ways to die, so many dumb ways to die

Invite a psycho-killer inside
Scratch a drug dealer's brand new ride
Take your helmet off in outer space
Use your clothes dryer as a hiding place

Dumb ways to die, so many dumb ways to die

Keep a rattlesnake as pet
Sell both the kidneys on the internet
Eat a tube of superglue
"I wonder what's this red button do?"

Dumb ways to die, so many dumb ways to die

Dress up like a moose during hunting season
Disturb a nest of wasps for no good reason
Stand on the edge of a train station platform
Drive around the boom gates at a level crossing
Run across the tracks between the platforms
They may not rhyme but they're quite possibly

The dumbest ways to die, so many dumb ways to die

And here I thought it was going to be one of the "creeper" ads they frequently show over here;



That is one of the tamer ones, but they do show people being hit at a crosswalk by a car in some commercials here.

Despite the funny vid, there has been a spate of people sneaking around level crossings and getting cleaned up by trains, especially in country areas here, so I guess this is just a way to get people's attention, a good way to do it IMO. I still got the damn song in my head 1/2 hour later....
