""Driving Educational Videos"" (9, sui, ablism)
Oh good, 'Smiley' isn't dead, but bound to a wheelchair and unable to speak. We've already heard about his suicide attempts. And his dreams of like, just being alive normally.... oh we never actually hear anything about the car. He was just a passenger.
............oh good we're now on a montage of millennials about phones again. Like guys, you couldn't even stick to booze for a solid guilt trip?

unpausing now, 10 minutes left of this, questionnaire, another video (probably a similar 15-20 minute range) questions, then I'm DONE THIS HELL.
Doctor Montage aaannnddd....
"Drunk driving is also distracted driving" OH BOY let's see how this is going to be quietly but noticably bigotted :D
At least the music is-
"My friends at school used to call him Smiley"
OH gods I need to be drunk to watch this.

Thing is the way it's shot, the dad is standing at the passanger window, screaming over the corpse of her friend, holding the body of his daughter screaming "look what you've done" to a girl making a surprisingly good bit of acting at being in total shock.
AGAIN, THIS SHIT IS A NON-FAITHFUL REENACTMENT OF A CAR TRYING TO SPEED TO CATCH A YELLOW BEFORE IT TURNED RED.
WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU DOING PUTTING YOUR STROLLER IN THAT INTERSECTION DAD?
""Driving Educational Videos"" (6)
Oh btw, the whole time from light turning red to the video HARD CUTTING to a cop standing next to a car just talking?
Music. But this music sounds like it should be... I dunno. The last few soldiers look up at the sky as friendly fighters swoop in. If the battle of Gondor was a ww2 movie, this music would play at dawn.
Btw, passanger teen? totes dead. baby? dead.
""Driving Educational Videos"" (5)
See, They follow this up with a reenactment.
Thing is, even at the start it's fucked because it keeps cutting to a pair of like highschool grad girls. In the real story, the driver was male. And instead of it being a close yellow, that light was red for like a solid 5 seconds before the car showed up.
Now film design 101, I wish I'd caught screengrabs. WE'VE GONE FULL ON BABY SHOE WITH TASTEFUL DAB OF BLOOD AND EVERYTHING FOLKS.

On to video 2.
21 minutes. FML.(currently paused at 10 in)
The first 30 seconds in, I knew. This was going to be about a stroller being hit by a car on a crosswalk.
The fucking montage of the baby home video with the dad talking about how wonderful this baby was. Second coming of jesus here, you gotta know, just the fucking BEST baby.
Car ran a yellow, baby died, but we get some.....interesting points coming up here.

TL;DR:
Canned lines about don't drive distracted.
Oh... oh no there's a questionaire to make sure I was paying attention.
Cool, nah, glancing down for 1 second driving 65 makes you go 100feet, not 50, good try to catch me ther-
"Where does AJ’s dad find AJ’s phone?" Oh. Oh you wanted me to be paying attention to the crying man about his dead fucking son and how much blood there was?
Behind the dashboard motherfucker but wow, that's FUCKED UP OF YOU TEXAS.
""Driving Educational Videos"" (pt2 for sake of keeping track)
oh... oh no.
He's a white boy.
He's a quarterback.
Interviews with his mom, girlfriend, dad, and friends.
You guessed it, texting and driving. hit by a truck.
Now this is just me. But this will be the first time in many I'll say maybe these fucks should have hired an actual editor for this. Because man this video could have been punchy at like 5 minutes, not 17.
""Driving Educational Videos""
17 minutes. First Video.
Did you know, distracted driving is BAD?
And you shouldn't do it?
OH MY GODS I NEVER WOULD HAVE GUESSED THANK YOU.
Also did you know texas cops have to deal with --VIOLENT GANGS--- and do ----DRUG RAIDS---- and this matters to you because the cops who do those are totes the ones pulling you over and that's okay and correct and the way it should work?
Nice propaganda piece there, friends.
So what's the next 10 minutes of the video?
mh, driving, ""Educational Videos"
So like, I let my driver's license expire, stupid of me I know. But Texas license renewal requires viewing an hour of.... okay some "scared straight" garbage.
Join me on this journey. I can't be the only one to suffer. The production quality of this.... is... magical.
Also some like really REALLY specific examples that feel very.... choice.

metakink thing
part of my brain: "ew. I don't get how people are into this."
part 2: "Okay but people look at you like that too. Throwing rocks, glass houses, etc."
part 3: "but like what if throwing stones because you want that house broken."
part 2: ".....okay but like that's not how humiation kink wor-"
part 4: "FIND A FRIEND WHO WILL MAKE YOU SQUIRMY AND INTO IT THEN THIS ISN'T A PROBLEM ANYMORE."
all other parts: "....fair poiny."
Sorry, I've moved accounts D:
