The economy is reeling. Presidential politics grow uglier by the day. The world is—as usual—going to hell in a handbasket. But don't fret; it could be worse.
In honor of the approaching Halloween holiday take a look at these highly effective public service announcements from 1970s Great Britain. Forget the stock market, I'm never going near another creek again.
Imagine if this was your company's safety video—or, stranger still, an external marketing video.
(Thanks to Andrew Sullivan for pointing it out.)

That's odd. I was splinking to myself just this morning, "never get on a motorcycle again."
