Really not one "Think!" advert has shocked or scared me at all. Either they aren't doing well or I'm not right.

Just depends on the individual to be honest

So far that is the only one that has done that to me. The rest are quite uncomfortable viewing, especially the one where they show the "child" getting hit by the car.

If they showed the person on the floor, bones broken, blood bleeding and any other vile symptom, then I may be a bit surprised, but I'd me more surprised by seeing THAT on telly!

I actually thought the video was real. Was it?


According to what I've heard, yeah!

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!

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.


Wasn't supposed to be showing her hit by a car in reverse.

It starts with her killed by the tree, because she was hit at 40(?)mph and then she moves into the middle of the road and comes alive to show what would have happened if she was hit at 30mph.

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.


It looks way too fast to be a stunt (as opposed to CGI) to me. I should think it's pretty unethical to subject unknowing witnesses to that, too.
