I love! Except that the recommended videos after have a snake biting a guy's face, which the image induces palpitations in my severe snake phobia'ed self, almost making watching the end of the video a "dumb way to die"!

Too Cute!!!!

As an Australian and also having known 4 people killed by trains I don't find this entertaining at all!!! 3 people I went to school with were hit by a train in 2001 when a bus load of kids were killed due to the bus stalling over the tracks and another went to school with my sister and all he was doing was sitting on the edge of the platform, train came past and he exsanguinated on the scene!!

We don't think that the injuries/fatalities sustained by people struck by trains is funny......we think that the creation of such a catchy public announcement is genius and find the commercial funny, creative and cute. Something that would NEVER be politically correct in the US.

I'm sorry if we offended.
