No more benefit fraud, false wrokmans comp, single mothers getting rent free 4 bedroom houses, no more revolving door prisons, when you commit a crime your punished, when you go to prison you get a 7 x 6 cell and a plank, instead of a 3 piece suite and a playstation.
love denis leary, love jeremy clarkson, but I don't necessarily agree with their politics. clarkson just blatantly hates the U.S (ironically enough, seeing as he gets money from us for his book and his other affiliations), and denis leary is awesome but a little twisted when it comes to the U.S nowadays, as shown in his book.
ahhh yes! That's where I had seen it before! Great ad though, sometimes blood and guts ads, like the ones we have here, can miss the whole point. Humour and telling it like it is can be a nice change. :)
First off, this isn't strictly a PSA, as it's an advert for a lager (Holsten Pils). Secondly, didn't realise Leary ever did any work in the UK. Nice vid!
While it is commercially sponsored, it is still serving primarily as a PSA; it's not like Holsten's offering an alcohol-free alternative.
I managed to see this on TV twice; thought it was the best anti-DUI advert ever, and was most impressed with the ASA allowing it through and with Leary himself for doing it.

Hey, theres not so much badness to having a few drinks and driving, how will you et home, Lifes short, ird rather live it while im here, i could be under a bus tomorrow, Live Life while youve got it!
That'd make a nice eulogy for you, or the woman and kid you mowed down, just because you wanted to "live".
I'm sure if someone did drive drunk over your ma/pa/other half/kid you'd say, "Nah, don't worry about it mate - you're having a good time, right? Want me to grab you one for the road?" :|
moron! its fine feeling like that except ure endangering other people then ure self when u drink and drive.,,, littlesth0b0 said it better then me... but jeez man... use ure brain for fucks sake.
they had this on TV? LOL its funny, but i don't think it would be as affective as seeing some ones brain over the windscreen while there car is on fire!
I disagree. I think it's actually quite powerful. We need the serious end too but I think ridiculing drink drivers is a good thing. Other ads are always about hitting people of losing your license. A lot of times people drink drive and don't hurt anybody — but it's still not acceptable behaviour.
I totally agree slothster. The kind of comments and things people say, these people shouldn't get the right to free speech! Get a life and an education Jacktraven.
Yeah, it's a British ad. Oddly enough it's not actually a PSA, it's an actual ad for Holsten. They just decided to go for the anti-drink-driving message.
That...kicked so much unbelivable ass that there are no asses left! That kissed the race of the good asses. SO KICK ASS! *passes out then comes to* yes! they really should air that. Though it looks like it was made in europe (stearing wheel position) so maybe it was. They arent as censored there as we, americans are.
I think the new drink driving ad here in new zealand is waaayyy funnier haha "you know i cant have your ghost chips!" (māori accent)

Leary is mocked for his success, but he does put it to good use.
This is pure class and they should still show it.

Denis Leary for president.
Jeremy Clarkson for prime minister.
