Think that might be the one here that starts at the 38.36 mark.

The first part of this has an old bus safety film from the 60's. For some reason tacked on is a clip from the LLS of Gardai motorcycle traffic unit.

AIDS.
The only thing that terrified me,gave me both nightmares and sleepless nights,and had me crying to my Mammy about it during my childhood.Ads like the two you have mentioned,and this one,made me educate myself.

I distinctly remember that bitch Hillary Fennell basically blaming men alone for the spread of AIDS in her ad.They still had those ads running till about ten years ago with one of the Corrs (probably Sharon) and Sinead O Connor .An Riabhach wrote: »Yep,I remember those ones well also.
I think they were dealing more with the stigma of having AIDS and HIV more than anything else.
Either way,I found those ads pretty tame and ineffective.
Those ones are all up on YT. Theres several more of them under the same channel.

This was actually a print safety advert but I think it might have been connected with the old Irish "Play Safe" ad. Late 70's/early 80's, It was warning about the dangers of electricity and showed a cartoon man or boy climbing over a fence into what was presumably a power station, he was looking up with a glum expression at what looked like a big lightening bolt flying down at him and the lightening bolt had a super villian type head , a bit like Batman. To jog folks memories I've done a rough sketch from memory of this electricity bolt villian character.

He was called Safety Man and he was a hero not a villain! Would turn up and stop kids who were just about to do something stupid.I'm partial to your abracadabra,
I'm raptured by the joy of it all.
