A PSA.

CANADIANS understand how public service announcements work. (Warning: Music, sound, and it's a Canadian "workplace safety" PSA. Those are generally pretty gruesome.)

We've gotten the practice at making them good, from centuries of experience in teaching our children to avoid the moose.

Here's another example - it's a catechism that we ensure all schoolchildren know by heart, by the time they're able to spell their own names:
Q: What do we do when we are awake?
A: Keep two eyes on the sky.
Q: What do we do when we sleep?
A: Keep one eye on the sky.
Q: What do we do when we see the moose?
A: Dig hard, dig deep, go for shelter, and never look back.

Additional careful rewatching:

I'm pretty sure the appliance behind the stove to her left is one of those huge black-top frying surfaces--you can see it earlier in the PSA. Completely flat, and not a deep-fat fryer. (The Extreme Pita where I eat lunch has one of those--basically a frying pan the size of a countertop section. Dangerous in its own right, but not a fryer and not inherently greasy, especially since a lot of places just use water or pickle juice to get the sizzle.)

I think the things to her right are the fryers, but I'm basing that off a Google image search.

...man, these terror and pain PSAs really get people's attention...

Entirely possible.

And I have to agree, they're unquestionably effective at getting people's attention and consideration.
