How many have seen it?

When I first saw it, I had an idea it would have something to do with Road Safety, but the impact was far more shocking than I expected.

They make this stuff look so real.

Excellent method of reaching out to the Teenage audience though, let's just hope the message isn't ignored.

Surely that leaves viewers feeling that justice has been done?

The ad is supposed to show why you shouldn't use your mobile phone when crossing a road, but the boy who gets run over doesn't have his phone out, which sort of defeats the point. Still a good ad, thuough. Those road safety ads really work, like the smoking ones. They should make ones about getting too fat, with people getting stuck in doorways and struggling to breathe.

Yeah it's well done, but it didn't bother me in any way what so ever. I didn't get why they were filming themselves doing nothing, it seemed kind of pointless. They should have combined it with the current who-ha ovr happy slapping. Kids slaps someone on the back of the head, runs off into the road laughing, gets hit by a car.

It's brilliantly done, the low resolution of the phone video makes it far more realisic than what an expensive special effect would do.
