Canadian Safety video collection

Canadian Safety video collection

I have to thank MC for bringing these brutal Safety ads to my attention. I can’t believe how graphic these videos are. I'm one for not having censorship, but I would not want my children seeing these ads during cartoons.

Hell, these ads not only make me want to work safer, but not even show up for work just in case something bad happens to me. Gee-whiz, they're like Final Destination death scenes.

The forklift one is just scary as hell. A dead worker comes back to life with metal poles sticking out of his body. Most of these accidents would have be prevented if they stopped talking to the camera, telling us how they'll die in the first place. Perhaps they should do safety PSAs on making Safety PSAs .

Btw, how can these people tell the future anyway? Do they have the power see the future like Desmond from LOST?

Someone did an upgrade and made this ad even funnier by adding Dark Force Lightening.

While I think these are funny but brutal, we in the US has some wimpy PSAs. We have a talking bear that tells us to prevent forest fires and a stupid dog named Mcgruff the Crime Dog.

We have this to compare it to...a rapping bear

What the hell was that?

I think the retail worker one is the freakiest one.

The next series of ads used the same kind of talking bit, but they stopped short of the accident by having a safety measure save them from their slothful behavior (like a guy working with an automated table saw who didn't button the cuffs of his shirt and looked destined to mangle his hand but the killswitch happened to be repaired that morning, so he was spared.

Shannon Fill: Where is she now? (Ensign Sito Jaxa)

Shannon Fill:   Where is she now? SF has been reviewing TNG seasons o ver at his blog. And, the episode Lower Decks came up. I recently watched Lower Decks on Net-flicks and found myself amazed with the performance from the young and lovely Shannon Fill , who played the character Ensign Sito Jaxa. Jaxa showed up in two episodes of TNG, actually they were two important episodes.   There was a nice arc to her character too.   Her character was killed off in Lower Decks , but there were plans to bring her back for an episode of DS9. From Memory Alpha , ((One story considered by the writing staff concerned the return of  Sito Jaxa  from  TNG : " Lower Decks ". The pitch had Sito being imprisoned under inhumane conditions and suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder.  Robert Hewitt Wolfe  developed the story for some time. Feeling that there was insufficient explanation of Sito's condition, he had Sito killing her cellmate, whom she'd become cl...

Madison Swan/Mia Malkova: Not so Mother's Day

I’ve written about some messed up things in my time as a blogger, but this story might just top the cake.  And, I mean really.  If you are offended by porn and the porn industry, don’t read this blog.  However, this might be one of the strangest and creepiest things I’ve seen and read about.  It just seems so wrong... A few days ago, I stumbled across an Amateur Allure (porn) video.   AA is a polished porn site that features a lot of POV shots and newcomers in the industry.   Also, there is MILF/step daughter (pretending) porn thing out there and it’s very popular.   Even AA has a few of these “fake” mother/step-daughter teams.   It is a very popular Genre in the industry.   However, this one is different.   AA had a video claiming that a fledging pornstar Madison Swan/Mia Malkova   did a Pre-Audition video with her mother tagging along…her real mother.  Mia/Madison shows up for her “audition”, which means you show ...

Shrek the Third

Shrek the Third It’s not really that funny. Shrek 3 isn’t very funny or entertaining. It’s not even a bad movie, it’s just boring. While the other two movies tried to give us some adult humor, with Dreamworks ripping Disney a new one in both movies, Shrek 3 simply doesn’t bother to be funny. I probably laughed three times during the entire time. The allure and humor of the first two films are gone in Shrek 3. So, who is to blame for this movie? It’s the screenwriters. The script is the reason this movie doesn’t work. The story is like that cheap soda you buy from a knock-off brand: it taste bland and doesn’t have that kick that the real sodas have. The jokes feel incomplete and dry. As I watched the movie, I came up with better jokes and storyline progressions than the actual movie. There was an ENTIRE subplot about King Arthur and his misadventures in high school cut from the film. Check the DVD for some very good deleted scenes that should have been left i...
