I have just seen a Government ad. on Sky 1 which seeks to remind pedestrians to look where they are going!

The film looks like it has been shot on a mobile phone and starts with a group of teen schoolkids horsing around. Just when you wonder what this outtake from YouTube is doing on TV one of the boys dances out into the road without looking and is struck by a car. The slogan is something like "Don't you wish he had kept his full attention on the road?" (rather than "Speeding maniac couldn't stop.")

Quite a change really. Pity it was on at 21.30 on a Sunday night.

Its an oldie, came out last year.

Only seen it once or twice on TV though, and once at the cinema.
