I'm also leaning staged.

It's pronounced makh-ZOO-ee. Hide / Show RepliesNot scary at all. It is, however, a heaping dose of Special Effects Failure and What Were They Selling Again?.

I found this example on the now defunct Accidental Nightmare Fuel page:
- The Government of British Columbia broadcast a PSA in the early 1990s about the dangers of drinking during pregnancy. The PSA started with a fetus circling around and around on the screen with a voiceover saying "Mommy, don't drink, don't kill me". It was supposed to be broadcast between 9 PM and 5 AM, but it was once accidentally put on the air during the morning show. Cue hundreds of little kids hiding under beds, peeing themselves, terrified that the "monster" was going to get them, and hundreds of parents calling BCTV to complain. Cue hundreds more adults calling to complain because they didn't understand the meaning of the PSA and were upset to see what they thought was crude anti-abortion propaganda being broadcast at 7 AM. It was never shown again.
Does anyone have a video of this PSA? Also would like to know if it's suitable enough to be added here, perhaps with a few changes.
Edited by atyxyt Hide / Show RepliesI need help myself: I found an excellent scary Japanese PSA. The problem is, I need someone to help translate the text on the girl's phone as well as the voiceover, so I can put them as proper contributors to the ad's scare factor. Can someone help me?
Hey everyone Here are some new PSAS guaranteed to freak you out. Check both Health and Safety
About the recent edit, regarding a Mexican Alcoholics Anonymous PSA: The edit claims it features "actual footage of a man who hung himself", but having seen it, personally it looks to be a staged shot. It still deserves a place on the page, but I wanted to get some second opinions on it, and if possible, if anyone has any information on whether or not it's real.
