I'm feeling a little nostalgic this week. What was your favorite PSA growing up?

In mayo, salt, ketchup or goop, it's no fun to eat, what you can't even see, so don't drown your food!
This little guy probably saved me a time or two in my youth. "Sick! Sick! Sick!"

I wasn't exactly little at the time... But I *loved* all the anti-drug PSA's in the 80's.
Have I told you all lately how much I love you? Here are two of mine:

1970's:


1980's:

Mr. Black's favorite childhood PSA is the "Kite Man" commercial, in which a Fred-Schneidery guy dressed as a giant kite teaches a group of kids about kite safety.

It's an Oregon thing, but he's recited it to me so many times I feel like I've seen it myself. It's not on You Tube, but I just found out there's a Facebook group dedicated to finding a copy of the thing. Oregonians...
I love the fact that my middle school students still write the Preamble in Social Studies by humming the tune from the 70's! Sing it with me, you know you still know it, "We the people, in order to form a more perfect union..."
I don't know how to upload it, but the "we're not candy" PSA about prescription pills. (going to try) link at youtube is here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xayd1c0wtOE


@ Joe Mama--Schoolhouse Rock is my all time fave! I have them all on CD for Dani when she's bigger!
I learned it by watching YOU:

Oh, I so love this thread! X-entertainment.com is an awesome 80s treasure trove!
