Me and my brother were sitting watching TV and flicking through the music channels, when we saw this tv ad:

Quite sobering, if ultimately impotent. Just as we were saying that it would probably do no good, this second ad came on.

Surely there is something not quite right about this. Unless it was a very cleverly constructed artistic statement, allowed on only in the early hours when those who would understand the clash would be at their most lucid.

Or they're thick as fuck. But that can't be right...

The yt;dw summary - government sponsored ad encouraging kids not to carry knives, followed by a ninja movie trailer with lots of flashing blades, etc.

While its possible the person responsible for scheduling the adverts was having a laugh, I think it's more likely just a coincidence.

"I just want to get some chicken, or whatever, and just chill out."

Stereotypes, much?
