The Twelve Injuries of Christmas

CHRISTMAS! Christmas, is what it is right now, and that means Drinking and Driving PIFs all up in your grill. This year, THINK! have brought us a laudably ominous poster about how you'll go to prison, and some nice radio PIFs narrated down the telephone by convicted drink drivers like condemned men recording their last will and testament before heading for the chair, which are unfortunately spoilt by the intrusion of a slick voiceover reading the slogan. I'd have had the death row inmates speak that bit as well, for creepiness.

And the television? THINK! seem blithely unconcerned with TV this year, cheerfully admitting that their campaign is concentrating on radio and print media. Now, I haven't seen it because I'm so modern and futuristic that I don't watch much actual television with ad breaks and that, but I'm assuming that they're showing Moment of Sodding Doubt for the fourth year in a row. If we don't get a new one next year, I sugggest we burn Great Minster House - HQ of the DoT - to the ground.

Oh, but then I uploaded another video just then and stuff! Well, this video isn't even a PIF, technically, it's a public announcement by VH1 and Auto Trader with a refreshing line in black humour from 2007 - incidentally the same year Moment of Doubt debuted. Make of that what you will. Five Gold Rings is clearly the best bit and I will fight anyone who says it isn't. With fists.

Are they saying drink driver or drunk driver? I saw this a while back on youtube when I was watching PSA's and I've been looking for it ever since. Creeeeeeepy.

For the sake of my own pleasure:

Five gold rings isn't the best bit.

[Applemask]

@easportsbig899 Five Gold Rings is always the best bit. Always.
