So the message of this PIF is "Support animal testing so humans don't have to have this happen to them".

Maybe that's jusy me being confrontational. And I'll tell you another thing about Communists...

[PIFMan092]

There was another version of this PIF which used a generic synthesizer library track, presumably so that the ad agency could avoid having to pay for royalties each time the ad made an appearance on TV or at festivals.

[chaoreturnsforgood76]

Applemask is this uploaded YT video an MPEG file from the Night of the AdEaters archive site?

[Applemask]

@chaoreturnsforgood76 Yes. Please note I uploaded it...wow, four and a quarter years ago? Holy Christ. Anyway they don't have that thing up anymore.

... Vivisection is evil....

[ejames3000]

Is there a specific name for the dappled grey backdrop / lighting effect that proved so popular in ads PIFs at the turn of the 90s? It's used also in brilliant ad for the Samaritans in which every time an attractive young woman opens her mouth to speak, all that comes out are shards of hideous, Merzbowesque white noise. Powerful stuff. And, yes, my index of childhood nightmares confirms that this is definitely earlier than 1993.

[Applemask]

@ejames3000 I'd have uploaded that Samartians add (which has more of a corridor feel to it, I reckon), but EASportsBig99 or whatever number it is has uploaded it already.

[PIFMan092]

@ejames3000 I think what most likely happened is that some ad agencies would offer to make an ad for a charity free of charge, hence they would most likely use a minimalist approach as opposed to spending massive amounts of money on a particular location. This would've most likely have been filmed in a photography studio somewhere, which would explain the grey backdrop.

[Starofthenight819]

Why not test it on someone who can say yes instead of someone who can't say anything we understands?

[iceskater1]

@talialittle1 there are methods of testing on CELL CULTURES instead of animals. They are more accurate than animal testing.

[darrel555]

all i know is that the ad appeared on richard and judy and i believe the cocteau twins track was the thinner the air to date i have not been able to track the ad down but it does/did exist

[Duvmasta]

This one form of animal testing that I am against

[darrel555]

There was a similar ad with a model applying make up and suffering as the animals do using a Cocteau Twins track as backing shown in cinemas in the early nineties

[Duvmasta]

Can you get that ad for us?

[hotelmario510]

That was the most horrible thing I have ever seen. Excuse me while I vomit copiously.

[Applemask]

More horrible than the fur one with the offal and the maggots?

[hotelmario510]

Oh great, now I've got to go and see my therapist about that again...

[liliwuzherex]

@Applemask Than the what o.o"

[Applemask]

@liliwuzherex Listed as "Anti-Fur Trading: Coat" on the list to the right.

Why are there so many vegetarians in the UK?

REPLY 2 MY COMMENT PLZ

[hyean4]

do yo mean all scientists

[Duvmasta]

no, not all scientists are bitches of the devil

[gerryono]

judi dench?

[Applemask]

Possibly.

[Pestinpest]

Yup, it's Judi Dench doing the VO.

[xpidf1]

It clearly said '93

[Applemask]

It also said 1987 on the actual description on the site. More than once. And a lot of those years AdEater gave on the videos are inaccurate. So I gave it the benefit of the doubt.

[EricakaJaceII]

You know what's weird? This PIF hasen't aged...at all...not in subject, nor in content. The girl being used doesn't even look like the typical 80's woman they'd usually cast for a main role such as this (I don't mean this in a bad way at all). I honestly thought before knowing this was 1987 that this was made way sooner.

Anyway, very nice and creepy PIF here. Plus, I'm totally agree with the messages behind it. That said, I also strongly agree with Diablow187! XD

[gerryono]

yes she does,at least in my opinion

[Diablow187]

The scream blew my fucking mind!

[prizz13]

oh right know theyr trying to put to sleep pitbulls for saftey but i think we should put to sleep some freakin dumbass scientist seriously do they know what theyr doing does theyre family know i doubt it it would be a shame to have a family member that work for this or supports i hope they all die

Seek The Truth and the Truth is US. we Have to see Our Role in the world so we can be Emopowered to take it back from those that Lie to US. 1% control 99% through Our Disempowered Lives of thinking its out of Our Control. ITS NOT. Peace and Love.

[mordredt02]

I guess I walked into that one. :P

[mordredt02]

Can makeup actually do that?

[mordredt02]

Well, I ended up looking at their site, and some of these companies do test ingredients on animals that have been shown to cause everything from skin irritation to death. Which makes you wonder what the hell they're testing, and what manages to make it into the finished product.

[s172mch]

guys testing on any living thing is purely wrong! id like to rip those peoples balls off and burn them because they love seeing animals die for a living

[Weezalou]

at least we have the choice

[arnizach]

I'd rather a less intelligent animal suffered than a human. Lesser of two evils..

[neckbreakkid]

Humans Are the least intelligent, Humans are Vermin

[arnizach]

Yes.. That's why animals are writing these comments. Not humans.

[Applemask]

For medical advancements, I'd agree with you. But for cosmetics?

[BeKind83]

agreed...medical and cosmetic are two entirely different things.

[Saranalos]

Perhaps if it was tested on humans then they would actually take care that their product was safer? And how are other animals less intelligent than humans? Just because they don't torture us in return?

[whizkidforte]

Now that's what I call DISTURBING!
