A PSA.

[theweaselking]

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.

Couple of clarifications:

I am assured by someone who has actually worked in a kitchen that those things to our left at 18 seconds are not deep-fat fryers. (I persist in reading them as such, and vaguely wonder if we're not shown the fryers because a properly laid-out kitchen wouldn't have them in a dangerous place and they used a real kitchen rather than mocking up a set, but that is a sidenote.)

And it's not the contents of the pot which catch fire--if you watch, you can see that she flips a pan when she hits the stove on the way down, and it's the stuff from that that splashes back and lights up. My bad.

...I need to stop watching this thing.

I just noticed the pan myself.

"...I need to stop watching this thing."

Ditto.
