So I googled the Dag Wood Test because I didn't recognize the term and this is the only refererence I found:

Lawl... back on topic. I still feel that this is soft-core porn. I mean, we should be straight here that soft-core porn is not mutually exclusive with Art, but the fact remains that if I was caught looking at this video by a female worker at my place of employment I would surely lose my job (or at least end up in HR hell).

The comments made me think to exactly what my point is and I'm not entirely sure to be honest. I guess my fear is that I don't come to Videosift for outright porn and by letting this video pass muster, we are changing the fundamental purpose of the site. Again, I'm not a moderator or anything and I can definitely subscribe that this is, in the grand scheme of porn, on the artsy side of things, but it is still porn, plain and simple.

That said, I'm a man of common sense and I realize that this doesn't mean we are going to start approving double donkey penetration videos, but I suppose part of me feels this is just slightly out of place.

Devils advocate in me should point out that I've previously posted:

La Donna Nel Mondo.. I couldn't find it anywhere online.

"Her love of cleanliness, altogether feminine, is so great that a single grain of dust on the barrel of a gun could ruin her day". Funny how my male commanders expressed the exact same trait. It might have something to do with clean guns jamming less, but nah. That's not it. They're women, so it has to be that...
Ah, the good old '60s.

It's from Mondo Cane. It's meant to be either shocking or sexist or both to promote reactions.

Made me think of something like this, but a bit larger.

^I understand that you and Mondo believe this is illustrating a realistic issue of motorist safety. It's still using fear to push an agenda, whether you think that agenda is a force for positive change or not.
By the way, I've been driving for twenty years, and not once has someone in the backseat slammed into me and cracked my skull open. Not once.


Yeah I understand that it is using fear, but as I said we still clearly need fear to truly motivate people, and I think/hope people have enough gall to realise when the fear they feel is needed like in this case, or uneeded, say over the consumption of a sandwich, people really need to get out of the mentality that it won't happen to them.

I've said it once, and I'l say it again, every day I pass my local hospital and I see nurses smoking away, who must be well aware of the effects of cigarettes on the body, yet they still do it, despite the shear pain and agony that someone with lung cancer goes through.

Fear-mongering usually involves trumping up something that isn't necessarily worth fearing.

From wikipedia: "Fear mongering (or scaremongering) is the use of fear to influence the opinions and actions of others towards some specific end."
In the case of this commercial, the fear is a horribly graphic death from an unsecured passenger in the backseat used to "influence the opinions and actions" of the drivers "towards a specific end" which is the use of seat belts. I think the definition is clear.
Let's promote blatant fear mongering and call it common sense!


Well in fairness blankfist, its arguable over if this is scaremongering or just grim reality, and even if it is scaremongering, I think that some times people really need to wake up to the grim realities of these things, education can go a long way, but there are still doctors that smoke.

Way to go mondo! More proof that once you start sifting you can't go back.

I'm a big fan of your script -- it makes trigger-finger posting that much easier.

(This text (in french) appeared in the french newspaper Le Figaro in 1909)

1-Noi vogliamo cantare l'amor del pericolo, l'abitudine all'energia e alla temerità.

2-Il coraggio, l'audacia, la ribellione, saranno elementi essenziali della nostra poesia.

3-La letteratura esaltò fino ad oggi l'immobilità penosa, l'estasi ed il sonno. Noi vogliamo esaltare il movimento aggressivo, l'insonnia febbrile, il passo di corsa, il salto mortale, lo schiaffo ed il pugno.

4-Noi affermiamo che la magnificenza del mondo si è arricchita di una bellezza nuova: la bellezza della velocità

5-Noi vogliamo inneggiare all'uomo che tiene il volante, la cui asta attraversa la Terra, lanciata a corsa, essa pure, sul circuito della sua orbita.

6-Bisogna che il poeta si prodighi con ardore, sfarzo e magnificenza, per aumentare l'entusiastico fervore degli elementi primordiali.

7-Non vi è più bellezza se non nella lotta. Nessuna opera che non abbia un carattere aggressivo può essere un capolavoro.

8-Noi siamo sul patrimonio estremo dei secoli! poiché abbiamo già creata l'eterna velocità onnipresente.

9-Noi vogliamo glorificare la guerra-sola igiene del mondo-il militarismo, il patriottismo, il gesto distruttore

10-Noi vogliamo distruggere i musei, le biblioteche, le accademie d'ogni specie e combattere contro il moralismo, il femminismo e contro ogni viltà opportunistica o utilitaria

11-Noi canteremo le locomotive dall'ampio petto, il volo scivolante degli aeroplani. È dall'Italia che lanciamo questo manifesto di violenza travolgente e incendiaria col quale fondiamo oggi il Futurismo

del mondo, indeed, sir.

bitchin', in fact.

Penso che un sogno così non ritorni mai più.
Mi dipingevo le mani e la faccia di blu.
Poi d’improvviso venivo dal vento rapito
E incominciavo a volare nel cielo infinito.

Volare, Oh!, Oh!,
Cantare, Oh!, Oh!, Oh!, Oh!
Nel blu, dipinto di blu,
Felice de stare lassù.

E volavo, volavo, felice
Più in alto del sole ed ancora più in su.
Mentre il mondo pian’ piano
Spariva lontano laggiù,
Una musica dolce suonava
Soltanto per me.

Volare, Oh!, Oh!,
Cantare, Oh!, Oh!, Oh!, Oh!
Nel blu, dipinto di blu,
Felice de stare lassù.

Ma tutti sogni nell’alba svaniscon perché
Quando la luna tramonta li porta con sé,
Ma io continuo a sognare
Negli occhi tuoi belli, che sono blu
Como un cielo trapunto di stelle.

Volare, Oh!, Oh!,
Cantare, Oh!, Oh!, Oh!, Oh!
Nel blu degli occhi tuoi blu,
Felice de stare quaggiù.

E continuo a volare, felice
Più in alto del sole ed ancora più in su.
Mentre il mondo pian’ piano
Scompare negli occhi tuoi blu,
La tua voce e una musica dolce
Che suona per me.

Volare, Oh!, Oh!,
Cantare, Oh!, Oh!, Oh!, Oh!
Nel blu degli occhi tuoi blu,
Felice de stare quaggiù.
