   This weekend I saw the most awful workplace safety TV PSA ever. A pretty young chef talks about her upcoming wedding, and then spills ten gallons of boiling water on her face.

   Maybe the producers could go back to the drawing board and think about using humour like the pics above, rather than shock and disgust, to raise awareness.

   I prefer these to the gruesome WS&IB TV and print ads already mentioned.

   darryl, that’s actually a “remix” of the ad, with a weird bit of music added to the end. Here’s the original: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tN2gpRcFKAQ
