This is fucked-up yet absolutely epic.

:o :ph34r: :bleeding:
I stayed in school.
Aussie schools, vindictive, murderous bastards. :lol:
The Onion never did anything as good as this. Has whoever put this together done anything else, or was this a first-time hit?
Yes they have done other stuff, not sure if it is as good.

That is a fake non-profit that made the ad, btw.
The film is pretty funny though.
I'm turned on.
What the hell?
Make lulz, not war.
Stupid, over-the-top shit like that might be good for a few laughs, it might win an ad company some awards, but it's not going do anything to keep kids from skipping school.
It's fake. It is not a PSA at all, it is a short film made by 2 guys who make funny short films.
The most disturbing thing to me is...the idea that it is necessary to make advertisements to discourage kids from skipping school. When I first read the thread title I was like, "what do you mean by skipping school? Is it even possible to skip school?" After watching the video and thinking about it for a bit, I finally figured out that the kids are not having a vacation, but is not attending school when they are supposed to be.
Skipping school is the most interesting part of attending a school.

I agree that schools are utterly uninteresting and a huge waste of time. Schools are nothing but a selection tool. Folks who skip school surrender without a fight.

Or maybe they're winning by such a margin that they can afford to life a life.

:yeahright: Are you serious? Even in Korea at a good school my kids skip class sometimes.
That is great. Especially the outraged comments. I rate this a 10 trolls out of 10

I must admit that my experience is limited to my own school. There, nobody skips class.
I'm still turned on
Playing hooky is fun.
So the kids are supposedly skipping school? I just thought they hadn't learnt to read due to them skipping school. Or that maybe it was just an ellaborate allegory about how a fast, careless life can lead to your ruin.
If they are skipping school, the only thing this ad teaches me is to not go to a military training area when I'm skipping school. Which I guess it's a decent advice.
