This is just plain creepy. Although this kind of blood squirting bill board was funny in a Simpsons episode, I think in practice it is too much...

I am just waiting for some prankster to add soap to the red solution. : ) Hey Dave, I got a project for you : )

Meh! - At the Puhoi Pub they have images of a Police Car on the wall of the Urinals.

When you pee on it, the thermal image changes and a cop tells you not to drink and drive while you are...on him.

Disturbing.

Gross is good sometimes. Like a slap in the face. I'd rather be creeped out than be killed any day of the week and apparently...its working.

Besides...can't they see they're driving on the wrong freaking side of the road!!

Without wasting a heap of words on it. It's not the sign that has the effect. It's a load of bollocks.

It's the huge drink driving and roadworthy-ness blitzes the cops have been conducting in the area.

It's the huge drink driving and roadworthy-ness blitzes the cops have been conducting in the area.

That's what happened in France a few years ago, along with a crackdown on speeding.
All instigated by the man who is now President, Nicolas Sarkozy.

As a professional driver, I've observed the change over the last 10 years here & it's been remarkable, a major improvement.

Yes people bleated about the ad campaigns & the infringement of their liberty etc etc, but the death toll has dropped dramatically, the results speak for themselves.

Road safety campaigns (not just in France) have changed attitudes.
It's no longer socially acceptable to drink & drive just about anywhere in Europe, no bad thing in my opinion.

I'm all for anything that makes my workplace & my playground a better place to be.

>>It's no longer socially acceptable<<

It has been a criminal offence in this part of the world for 25 years. Immediate arrest.

Random breath tests and roadblocks are not uncommon.

Suits me fine too.

Where's the NSFW video of the topless, bosomy women bouncing around with the stop and slow signs. It was definitely a foreign campaign but for the life of me I can't remember where it was. (and since Badweb is international, by foreign I mean not of the US of A.)

Ah, there it is, it was Danish. I love the Danes. And remember I said it was NSFW.
