we need commercials like that here

Wow. That's incredibly realistic and scary... I wish we could have helicopters land on I-40! Might help get traffic flowing again...maybe.

Oh, and for chit chat: That's what happens when you let women out of the kitchen.

A little... ridiculous-looking, during the crash, but that may have just been the low production values (the music playing while they were spinning or whatever didn't help). I'd think a much more sudden impact with more focus on the aftermath would have a better (more psychologically powerful) effect.

Then again, it's still better than the useless bullshit they showed me way back in driver's ed.


Also, IMO, our country's driver's ed classes need to include teaching people how to avoid being dumbass pedestrians (how to pay the fuck attention, mainly) in addition to how to be good mediocre-but-still-licensed drivers.

FUCK...THAT...NOISE

When I was living in San Diego, my bro and I were driving up to Las Vegas early in the day to catch NC State's 1st round NCAA tourney game in 2003 and got stuck on I-15 for about 4 hours while they landed helos in to medevac people out of a nasty suv rollover wreck. It took them forever to get those helos in and out.

clearly they just need bigger cars, if they were in an expedition those girls would be fine

They should have completely omitted the first half detailing the crash. None of the CGI damage was reflected in the true wrecked cars. The microphone used to capture the girl's scream was horrible, didn't sound right at all. The wrecked cars were not the same as the cars shown on the road, or they redecorated the interior after wrecking them. This is what makes people laugh, laughing people aren't taking a commercial seriously, they mark it as fucked up satire and keep going.

Canada does better commercials:

After the accident the shot went to the girl driver for a moment in the car. I really wanted her to grab her phone and text "BRB".

I've seen a medical helicopter land on I-40 for a crash before. The amount of rubber-necking that followed was incredible.

I know the production values are low, but most people don't appreciate such subtleties.

"Police: iPod Led To Deadly Drexel Hill Crash DREXEL HILL, Pa. (CBS 3) ? One person was killed and a second was critically injured in a crash outside Delaware County Memorial Hospital Friday. A young driver reportedly distracted by an iPod was involved in a deadly crash in Drexel Hill Friday, police said. The accident happened at about 11:30 a.m. on N. Lansdowne Avenue outside the Delaware County Memorial Hospital. According to police, the driver lost control, crossed over two lanes of traffic and slammed into two pedestrians on the sidewalk who had just walked out of the hospital. 19-year-old Nicole Gallo of Clifton Heights was pronounced dead at the scene. Her best friend, Christine Bochanski, 20, of Lansdowne is listed in critical condition at Crozer Chester Medical Center. The driver, Rachel Jankins of Havertown, was treated and released from the hospital. Investigators believe Jankins may have been distracted by an iPod at the time of the crash. "She apparently was having problems with her iPod, reached down, wasn't paying attention, lost control of the vehicle," Superintendent Michael Chitwood explained. "The vehicle crossed over the two northbound lanes, went up onto the sidewalk, the young girls had their back to the vehicle, the vehicle just ran over them." So far, no charges have been filed. The investigation into the deadly crash is ongoing. "

8/17/2009 9:55:06 AM

They should stop the people in Cameron Village randomly and make them watch this. I have never seen so many people who cared so little about paying attention while driving.
