Be Careful

I just noticed the rather macabre video from the DfT about “The Boy Who Didn’t Look for a Safe Place To Cross” (yes, pithy little title that one) on Jo Beaufoix’s blog and it reminded me of a Calvin and Hobbes cartoon…..If I remember correctly, the spaghetti sauce is “patented Calvin gore-o-gram” or somesuch :).
Maybe the next campaign they whip up to scare the bejesus out of little children could include a little spag bol in the advert…..

Be Careful Or Be Roadkill

In a strange way, though, the little film on Jo’s blog reminds me of Graveyard Mountain Home, an album by Kevin Moore, aka Chroma Key, which he wrote to accompany a film called Age 13 played at half speed…..yeah musicians are a strange lot eh? Just ask Ashley Morgan and his whole micropatronage gig (and when do we get to hear some samples of the album? 🙂 ).

Age 13, by the way, is in the public domain…..

I leave you to draw your own conclusions about the educational value of what must be one of the most bizarre plot lines in the world.

See, it’s not all about cheap toys for children over here….sometimes we break away from the relentless play time and have some edumacational value toboot!
