Crime Prevention Advert: Hyenas

UK advert released in 1992.

Didn't see this advert up, and I had a good laugh first time i saw it. I didn't add it necessarily because it's funny, but it reminded me of a great Jimmy Carr line:
"David Cameron said we should hug a hoodie. Why stop there? While you're at it tickle a rapist, wank off a mugger..."

What a disgrace, stigmatising hyenas like that!

@draven26 early 90's CGI wouldnt have handled it. They may be tame hyenas, although dangerous, they can be tamed. Some arabs keep them as exotic pets, theres a case on the bbc news of an ethiopian farmer who raised/trained a hyena and hawks to guard his livestock.

I remember that sticker adorning the windows of many a car! you don't really get that many of these high impact PSAs anymore.

This PIF will be featured in my upcoming video, Public Information Films, The Scary Side.

Next to Sinutab, this was the MOST frightening advert on British TV!

As a kid this advert scared the crap out of me, had to vacate the room or hide when it came on!

How did they get Hyenas CGI? they are extremely dangerous and wouldn't imagine they'd take kindly to being handled

I remember this - a rare example of a fairly recent (I say recnet, but you know...) public information film that actually scared me!

It's a good advert to get the car protection messege through, as well as giving kids nightmares like myself. I didn't know this advert went as far back as '92, I guess I must have surpressed this. But thanks for uploading it!

i remember it on my dads old car it had a hyena on the window so the car was protected
