Awesomely Bad '70s Swine Flu PSA w/ Resounding Horror Movie Echo Effect

Posted by Brantley Hargrove on Tue, Apr 28, 2009 at 6:08 AM



SWINE FLU!!! Behold, a pale horse. And the pig that sat...Anyway, I ruminated just a little on swine flu yesterday as today's pandemic du jour. With epidemiologists and the CDC predicting an impending pandemic at any time, every transient bug could be the population decimator. This is nothing new, and apparently neither is swine flu. Check out these old school PSAs. Love the narrator during the chain of infection PSA with the funky guitar riff in the background. Listen for the delivery on this one. Nearly spewed my Lucky Charms: "Bettie's mother gave it to her best friend, Dottie. But Dottie had a heart condition and she died."
