I have this weird fascination with PSAs, (public service ads). I was wondering if anyone remembers any of these PSAs that were played on the radio. I'd love to know if you can remember any that stuck in your head.

They used to play a PSA by the ONDCP about ten years ago that scared the crap out of me. What it said was not as scarey as the way it sounded. It had this weird music that was some kind of synthesizer that just kept playing one note, but the best way I can describe it is that it had this wa-wa sound. This deep voiced announcer says, "Ask a sixth-grader what a pipe is, and they'll sa,"
A little kid with a happy voice says, "It's something that water goes through."
Deep-voice comes back on and says, "Ask a seventh-grader what a pipe is, and they'll say,"
Another kid with a dead-serious voice says, "It's something that marijuana smoke goes through."
The announcer starts babbling some statistics that I memorized because I heard it so much, but I won't write it here. It freaked me out so bad that the only way I could stand it was to make parodies of it.

The worst one I ever heard was about gun safety. A little kid was talking about his brother that died because he had found his dad's gun and thought it was a toy. He talks in a calm, sad voice until the end, and then he gets upset, and hollers, "I didn't mean to shoot Daddy's gun! I didn't mean to shoot Daddy's gun!!!"
There was another version with the same voice where he shot his baby sister. The end of that one kills me. He says in a sad little voice that makes you want to hug him, "I made Katie go away. I hate me."
The little small-town radio station I was listening to plays a lot of PSAs, and I always sleep with a radio playing. They played it all night, just about every commercial break, and every time I woke up, I heard that little voice. I still have nightmares about it.
