Man, I remember those 70′s PSAs. Do you remember one where these happy, little kids were playing with their toy cars and they crashed it into a wall of blocks or another toy car or something? Then the car is spinning on its back and the kids are making a siren noise and then the narrator says, “Don’t drink and drive. A message from such and such.” I’ve be trying to find those on YouTube for a while, but no dice.

Fuck. I still can’t find that toy car one. Here are some Star Wars PSAs. They always played these on Saturday mornings before all my cartoons. And I think there was one with a crying Indian and some litterbug. Oh shit! I just remember another one about some dude driving around in a car following some kids to teach about taking rides from strangers. And remember the ones with Time for Timer? That little globule of fat deposit that would sing songs and teach you how to make snacks?

Man. Just spent half an hour looking at old PSAs and by fuck, I still can’t find that drunk driving one with the kids.

Oh, but there is a black lady. The school teacher…She’s light-skinned, but, she’s there. Guess you’ll just have to stick with Asians. You poor man.
