Dumb Ways to Die
A delightfully cute (and only slightly gruesome) video about really bad ways to go out. Reminded me a bit of Happy Tree Friends, but leaning a lot heavier on the cuteness.
Man, the people behind this PSA really got all their ducks in a row. There’s an official website, you can buy the single on iTunes or grab the mp3 free from Soundcloud, and a series of .gifs from the video.
It doesn’t hurt that the tune is pretty catchy, too.

This reminds me of the Gashlycrumb Tinies. I had the poster in my room at college. http://www.plastic-castle.com/tom/tinies.htm
And, ooh, you heard about the veterans who were killed just a few days ago when their parade float crossed train tracks even after the alarm sounded? Is that what prompted this post?

There was no real prompting. The video just got released on Friday and has been making the rounds. It actually comes from Metro Australia, but just a really good PSA, regardless of continent.
