Review of Safety
Interesting Idea!
It's short, it's innovative, and it's funny.
My only slight concern is that it took two "listens" before I was sure it was a pre-recorded pledge-drive spot and not an actual PSA.
But if listeners are hearing it often, they'll get it.
I preferred listening to this spot than to the live voices during pledge drives.
