It's only been around a couple of weeks and already it's been shown alot of times. The latest "Think" advert that tells people about road safety shows a mobile phone video of a group of teenage friends walking down a road enjoying themselves, and then one boy goes to cross the road and gets knocked over seriously. By what I've heard, that really happened.
What's your opinion on it, do you think it's reaching out to us?
Hell yeah! I watched it the other night and was totally shocked because I thought it was advertising a phone or something. It gave me such a fright at the time!
From what
I've
heard, half of it's real, and half of it isn't. The boy who gets run over is a stuntman, but the teenagers reactions are real- they were given the mobile phone to mess about with for a bit, not knowing what was going to happen.
Wow, I would have thought the ASA would ban it. I suppose 'Think!' get away with a lot - just look at the girl lying on the road!
Haven't seen this one yet, but the one of the little girl sends a shiver down my spine
Yep, that filler seems to be very chilling in its own way. But I can't help feeling that the way it was filmed was wrong; obviously, it is meant to be a road accident reversed. If you then watch it in reverse, the young girl seems to be lying in the middle of the road for quite a few seconds, then sliding up against a tree. Hmm.

Good point I noticed that as well. Perhaps it was too complicated/graphic to show that actual hit withwithout the car
